Five-Star Hotels in Male City

loved everything, the staff, the room, the food. Special mention to the staff who was very nice and very accomodating. One of the best stay i had

We opted for a 2 bedroom overwater pool villa, a large and comfortable family home with a living, two large bedrooms with adjacent bathrooms, and with an amazing view and pool terrace overlooking endless blue waters. We were fully take care of from the moment we arrived at Velana Airport until and including our check in there for our flight back home. The whole atmosphere at Hilton Amingiri is one of friendly and high quality service. Guest Experience Manager Amine provided us with all the information we needed about activities and restaurant options, made reservations for us, and picked us up when we needed a ride. The Habitat restaurant offers the most widely thinkable range of breakfast options as well as dinner buffets. Hassan and Benjo took great care of us during various watersports activities. Evening tennis games were perfectly hosted by the staff at there. All of this in a setting of tranquil, white beaches and a picture perfect blue sea. We opted for the half board option and found this to be really pleasant and comfortable including the possibility to dine at the various restaurants at the resort.

When we travel, we want to discover the world and see as much as possible of our travel destination. We never stay at one hotel and we don't care much about the hotel selection. That is completely different in the Maldives: your hotel is your travel destination. The selection of the hotel is very important and I did a lot of research. Oblu Select has very good reviews but we were scared about the potential downsides or hidden flaws. Well...We could not find any! This hotel is THE best. We loved our stay. It was beyond our expectations and we didn't notice points of improvement. We had a water villa with pool and the room was so pretty. Just amazing! The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I have never experienced something like that. Our host Mayrem was the sweetest. She was always there for us and helped us with whatever request we had. At the same time, she kept enough distance to respect our privacy. Every staff member was so sweet, helpful, respectful and caring. But without being pushy or indiscreet. The food was delicious and has the highest quality. There was enough variety: buffet, à la carte, live cooking and different restaurants. Eating at Oblu Select is an experience in itself. The underwater restaurant was a very special experience! It was great! We also recommend the floating breakfast and private movie night. The spa facilities are top notch. So professional and beautiful at the same time. I love the fact that this hotel is small-scale and has quiet/discreet/respectful quests. It never felt crowded. You can truly relax at this hotel because it avoids all 'party elements': no loud music, no club, no nightly events...Loud music and parties would be contradictory to the peaceful vibes of this hotel and island. If you realy need loud music or a party, you can visit the other island (connected by a bridge). The fact that this hotel is 'Adult Only' makes a huge different as well. No crying, no screaming, no tantrums.

We loved everything from the location, to the room and service

Our stay at Dhawa Ihuru resort was fantastic in all aspects. After clearing the immigration formalities we were greeted by resort coordinator in front of the airport and half an hour speed boat ride later we were already drinking welcome cocktail on the island and listening to Elena about general information. We were two families on the speed boat and each was greeted individually making check-in pure pleasure with many woows. Villas are modern with room/garden service twice a day. The island is not big. Walking around takes around 10 min and swimming around the reef about an hour. There is a sister island 2 min boat ride away with a 7 times a day free boat ride back and forth. Both islands have a beautiful coral reef around them. There is no need for snorkeling trips. You can see big variety of marine life on the doorstep of your villa. Sharks (not dangerous), turtles, lobsters and more colorful fish that you can count. We were snorkeling at least twice a day. There is an in house marine lab. Marine biologist Henry told us many interesting things during his coral reef lecture and showed in person while snorkeling together. He even helped my daughter with her school project. There is a wide variety of activities. From massages in their spa centre to local music evenings and fishing trips. My son made life long memories while pulling big wahoos and a barracuda from the sea during big game fishing. Captain Matheen found the fish, made us feel comfortable and prepared tasty sunrise breakfast. Oh, and the food. Like dining in a Michelin star restaurant 3 times a day. Tropical fruit was amazing. Everyone from gardeners, waiters, cooks, bar-mans, receptionists to resort manager were honestly trying to make us happy. And they did.

Amazing from the minute you land till the second you depart. The ambiance, atmosphere, staff, food, recreational activities are all exceptional

The island itself is beautiful and the overwater villas are generous and very stylishly furnished - especially the bathroom and terrace are very special (we were watching little fish and sharks every night from the net thingy). But what truly knocked our socks off was the quality of service. All the staff went out of their way to make our vacation memorable and we felt truly pampered. We were warmly greeted at the airport and upon our departure seen off at the airport entrance. We were even given a complimentary early check-in + breakfast after we’d arrived and late check-out, so basically one more day at our amazing villa! Ahmed and other staff members were constantly checking that we had everything we needed and were always so friendly and welcoming. As we are a vegetarian & vegan couple, the chefs at all the restaurants made sure to check in with us prior to every meal and prepared some of the best meals we’d ever had! It was unbelievable, plus the places looked stunning. The spa experience and massage with Ros was a cherry on top. Also used the gym and the tennis court regularly - the staff there made sure we had fresh towels and water at all times. We also had to visit the clinic and were assisted by the doctor - all part of the resort service. Just cannot recommend this place enough!

Management of the services was very good.

Everything was excellent from location to staff, facilities and food. I stayed for nine days with my mother and I have enjoyed the fantastic spa and treatments (thanks Kim!) and the scuba diving center where staff is competent and very nice. I took my scuba diving licence there with the excellent instructor AK. our room was magnificent, super clean also thanks to Nawal. in general all staff is attentive, nice and very helpful I strongly recommend Como cocoa Island if you want to have a great, stress free and enjoyable holiday.

EVERYTHING FROM START TO FINISH
