Dusit Thani Maldives

This was our second stay at Dusit. We came for five days, extended our stay and still didn’t want to leave, which probably says more than anything else! One of the highlights was going to see the mantas. Absolutely unforgettable. The house reef is beautiful too and we spent hours snorkelling. We also loved cycling around the island. And the bikes are actually in really good condition — anyone who has stayed at a few island resorts will know this deserves a mention 😄 Our daughter basically moved into the kids’ club and was there every day. She loved it. What I particularly like about Dusit is that the management are actually around. You see them, you speak to them and they clearly know what is going on around the resort. It makes a difference. And a special mention has to go to our butler Saeed. He was brilliant — proactive, quick and never lazy about anything we asked for. If something needed sorting, he just sorted it. Exactly what you want from a butler. We had a great time and really didn’t want to leave. I’m fairly sure we’ll be back again.

An absolutely delightful stay. Booked the night before due to flight changes, and received nothing but the very best customer service and hospitality from the start. The team scrambled to ensure the sea plane flights were arranged last minute, and at no point was there a gap in communication. The room (waterfront villa) was exactly as pictured, clean, and had a spectacular view. Every little detail was thought of. The staff go out of their way to make your experience special and make the place feel like home. In my decades of luxury travel around Asia, Africa and Europe, I have never experienced such a cohesive and professional level of hospitality. I struggle to envision how they could improve in any regard. Danil was fantastic, he reads and responds to messages within a minute of sending them. Thanks to him the vacation was completely stress free. Also shout out to Prabath at the Sand Bar for going out of his way to help me photograph the bats by the pool, even calling over to the other restaurant to get me a table with the best view. And Amilla at Sala for ensuring we could still get lunch after rushing out to the whale sharks. Overall, one of the very best vacations we’ve ever had and it’s entirely down to the fantastic staff, property, and amenities at Dusit. Absolutely loved the Thai restaurant and (though we aren’t vegan) the vegan restaurant Sala. Having a healthy option that provided creative, delicious and elevated dishes was remarkable and unique. The reef was recently voted best in the Maldives and it shows! We snorkeled for hours every day and the diversity of marine life was unparalleled. Our only wishes that they would stock reef safe sunscreen in the local store. Would be a shame to see that reef decline like what is happening in the rest of the world.

I simply said, "If you don't give April a raise, I won't come next time!"

We loved our stay at Dusit Thani Maldives. The spot is fantastic for the ray mantas in August and we were lucky to see hundreds. Our water villa nb 203 was perfectly located for the sunset. Bungalows are amazing and our house keeper Hamid took Care of us with Lovely attention, and a great respect for our rythm . Our butter Muhay was also very carefull to satisfy our expectations and I would like to focus et recommand our waiter Gaby, who enlightened our stay with his smile and Lovely cares. But everybody that we met was so kind ! We loved the Thaï restaurant Benjarong and spent every lunch there. The buffets at the main restaurant at night were also great with many choices and delicious meals everyday. Fantastic seafood. And a precial congratulation for the Chief in charge of the lemon meringue tart ( excellent ). The possibility to use the bike was fun and the végétation in the island is the most amazing that I ve ever seen in Maldives. Orchids on très are beautiful. Congrats to the gardeners also (because it must be a regular and huge work to take Care of all the Island) Our only suggestion of improvement would be to add a sort of sun Shelter canopy ( in French « un haut vent » ) to protect the terrasse from the sun. A single ombrella is a Little bit tiny sometimes. We highly recommend this island. Congratulations to Jean-Louis for this amazing place very well managed ! We would love to Come back

We spent 11 nights in the Dusit Thani Maldives with our 3 kids and had a fantastic and unforgettable time! The island is beautiful, the reef the best we have ever seen in the Maldives and all facilities are very well maintained and stunning. We loved our 2 bedroom family villa and thanks to Ali from housekeeping everything was perfect every day. This leads me to the most important point: The whole team of Dusit Thani is oustanding! Special thanks to Anas our Villa-butler and Mahjeed who looked after us at The Market restaurant st breakfast and most dinners. They took very well care of us and made a huge difference! Also special thanks to the whole F&B team and everybody who made our stay so special! Last but not least this is the best point to spot mantas and whale sharks :-)
