Dusit Thani Maldives

Beautiful atoll, amazing house reef, lovely spacious over the water bungalows and a choice of restaurants in which to eat. The sea grill is perfect for lunch and the Thai restaurant is beautiful in the evenings. The diving is lovely and snorkeling with the manta’s is a must over the summer months. The dive center is very professional and is full of water sports and toys for the non divers. Cycling in the greenery between the bungalows and dive center is lovely too. The resort is very private with few comunale open spaces and no beach so it’s not ideal for young children or teenagers etc that are hoping to enjoy the beach and play volleyball etc. Perfect for those that want to snorkel and dive. I would not recommend coming during August. We got basically monsoon torrential rain for the full week we were there. Luckily the snorkeling was amazing.

We had a wonderful family holiday at Dusit Thani Maldives. The rooms are spacious, the pool is large and well catered to for families with a gorgeous tree in the centre. The island is lush and green. Getting around on bikes is so pleasant. The food is superb at all 4 restaurants with a wide variety of dishes at each. During our 8 night stay, the adults didn't eat the same dishes once. In particular, the Thai food at Benjarong is a highlight. The bartenders at Sandbar and Sala are very creative and can make excellent off menu drinks. The kids club staff are very kind and our children loved the activities. The spa is great with a range of massages and the complimentary sound bath was so relaxing. The staff at all facilities are fantastic. They remembered names, our preferences at meals and treated our children so well. A special shout out to: Butler Nizam. Sala bartender Bhawa. Seagrill waiter Saahil. Benjarong waitress Nok. The Market breakfast staff Mai and Gabey and pancake chef Atta. Sand Bar bartenders Indika and Prabath. Spa massage therapists Sky and Yaki.

We had a wonderful stay at the Dusit Thani. The room was beautiful, and the view from our terrace was breathtaking. The food was fantastic, no matter which dish we tried. The staff were very attentive and incredibly friendly. We felt very much at home. Amili from the Sala Restaurant, in particular, has left a lasting impression on us. It’s truly impressive how fully he believes in the restaurant’s concept and the joy, enthusiasm and passion with which he conveys it. The diving school was superbly organised, the equipment was very well maintained and the crew were very friendly and attentive. It was very hard for us to say goodbye and we’d love to come back. Thank you so much for this perfect holiday. Ana and Johanna.

We had a fabulous stay at the hotel. The staff are warm, considerate, and very friendly. Our butler Danil was always helpful making sure we had the best balance of activity and rest. Haneef at the sand bar was so considerate always making the best mocktails for my niece. We also loved the Hanifaru Bay Manta Ray excursion, this truly was a one in a lifetime experience. Thanks to all for a wonderful time.

The scenery was fantastic. We saw a variety of fish on the house reef, including nurse sharks, octopuses, sea turtles, blacktip reef sharks, moray eels, and skipjack tuna. We also had manta rays and whale sharks on call, which was amazing to see up close. Our butler was kind and gentlemanly. Housekeeping was thorough and they came to check on us about four times a day. The food at Benjarong was spicy, so it's best not to say you're good with spicy food. At breakfast, the person who made the pancakes at The Market made manta ray and sea turtle pancakes, which was great. All the bar staff were very kind, and we went to the bar every day. Happy hour was half price, which was very reasonable.
