Five-Star Hotels in Maafushi

We loved the place!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling to the Maldives. We have been to a few other resorts in the Maldives but this one is really special from the moment you arrive at the airport and threw all our stay. People are just so nice and attentive and they know about your needs even before you. Don't let me start about their restaurants, apart from the main one, the M6M (underwater restaurant) and the Traditions Indoceylon really swept us off our feet.

Everything was great. After the plane ride it is great to go directly to the hotel by speed boat. No need to make an extra trip. Jennifer was a great assistant. Super, patient and unlimited support in everything. We will miss her. The waiters and hotel staff were very polite. Jülide and Mert.

From end to end, our stay at Anantara Dhigu was smooth, relaxing and beautiful. Firstly, the resort staff is there for you from arrival until the check-in at the airline desk. I didn’t see many other resort providing this level of service to the other tourists lining up at the airport. You are greeted on arrival and the boat trip to the resort is only a little bit over half an hour, making it very convenient after traveling long haul. We stayed in an over water sunset villa and it was simply stunning. Some have hammock nets over the water and some have pools, both options looked lovely depending on your personal preference/need. The villa is clean and spacious, and is decorated tastefully. It feels very private and the view was beautiful. We opted for the half board option and that suited us well. We mostly ate at Fushi Cafe with the exception of one lunch at Aqua and one dinner at Baan Huraa but those just didn’t live up to the exceptional food at Fushi Cafe. There was a lot of choice as well as variation from day to day. The resort itself is very well designed and there is plenty of exploring to do, both on land and in water. As it sits in a lagoon, it also provides for shelter from wind on one side even on the windier days. Our villa for example tended to get a lot of wind but when dining at Fushi Cafe on the other side of the island, it was very peaceful. It is also easy to wade in the water to snorkel island and snorkel in the coral reef there. There is a pontoon constantly operating between Dhigu and Veli making it very easy to go to the other island. Compared to the other resorts I think this location within the lagoon and spanning over several islands makes it so interesting and unique. There are so many things I could mention but these are what were really memorable and noteworthy, as well as the staff of course who are very polite and attentive. I would definitely visit again.

Everything staff, food, amenities, rooms.

White sandy beach, turquoise waters, the caressing sun, the lush vegetation, the Coconut Groves stretching into the sky, the ocean view villa with its rooms and great views (Sunrise from the ocean), the michelin level and 24 hour a day open Living Room restaurant with great views of Sunset, the warm hospitality and problem solving attitude of the staff was excellent and they put a lot of effort into cleaning up! Among the high quality staff at Naladhu Island, I would highlight the exceptional resort manager Fathimath Shaazleen, the efficient all-rounder Aslam, the excellent chef Arnab at the Living Room, the professional floor manager Mico at the Living Room, and all the other staff at Naladhu Island.

- beautiful island - great breakfast

Amazing water villa with slide. The island is very green and beautiful like a well-kept garden with orchids everywhere. Nice reef with lots of fish and huge stingrays near the water villas. 4 restaurants available (Arabic, Indian, French and International buffet + a la cart) with huge choice of food, fresh juices, wine, cocktails - good quality and great service. Relaxing massage at the SPA center. Kids club with many activities and own pool. Our butler Hathu was very helpful. Fantastic holidays!

Everything was just perfect. A big thank you to our butler Pratha and Ashraf from the restaurant that made our stay so special. We will come back for sure. So sad to leave !

Everything was great: the place, people, food and nature. Water villa was amazing

One of the best holidays ever! I thought I am going there once in a lifetime but we definitely want to go back! My son was thrilled and after a month still talking about it… people, service, villa, everything was amazing
