Thanks for making the birthday experience for wife a memorable one with my two lovely kids!

The sceen is very beautiful than expected. And Ram is very kind and helpful.

Everything about here is amazing. Only a half hour speedboat from the airport and water that looks too good to be true. All the staff were incredible. As a young family we stayed in a villa sunrise side and highly recommend. With direct beach access and less than a 2 minute walk to the restaurants, the transfer spots and the spa we found it to be perfect. Our host Kadir took perfectly good care of us and made recommendations of what excursions were best for our family. Solo mum and a 9 and 7 year old boy we ventured out to swim with sharks and sting rays - an experience we loved and will never forget. Picnic island was great for snorkelling and the pool swing was a highlight for my boys….. that and the hammock near aqua beach. Morning beach island walks had us see nurse sharks, turtles and endless amounts of hermit crabs! The marine biologist was taking a local school through coral planting and was kind enough to let my boys join in. Another incredible experience. Rippe and all the restaurant staff and pool staff were beautiful and treated my boys like their own. They were so authentic and kind. I’m gluten free and there were several dining options. Our room was cleaned twice daily by Irshaan and was immaculate. Everyone at Anantara were amazing. I trained adequately at the air conditioned gym and chatted with the social media guru by the beach. My massage at the spa was an insane location and views below of the ocean….except I relaxed and fell asleep it was so good. This resort will definitely be one I return to. Thank you for helping create so many unforgettable memories.

Location: Just a 30-minute speedboat ride from Male Airport—very quick and convenient, so there’s no need to worry about missing your flight. Atmosphere: The island has a fantastic vibe, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. The lagoon is stunning, featuring three distinct shades of blue; the water looks beautiful at any time, regardless of the weather. Rooms: I stayed in a beach villa for two nights and an overwater villa for two nights; each had its own unique charm. The beach villa offered direct access to the sand, and the open-air bathroom made me feel truly at one with nature. From the overwater villa, I could swim directly in the lagoon or walk straight out to the sandbank. Value: Excellent value for money; plus, guests can visit the neighboring Veli Island to use its restaurants and facilities. Cleanliness: The rooms were spotless, and the island itself was kept very clean. Noise level: You can hear the sound of the waves in the overwater villa at night, but closing the doors and windows ensures a peaceful sleep. Service: My host, Mr. Saajid, was incredibly responsive—replying instantly to any messages. My partner and I were celebrating a birthday and an anniversary, and the resort thoughtfully provided complimentary cakes and sparkling wine. Mr. Jinan, the Front Office Manager, was also extremely helpful. Amenities: Bicycles are available on the island, making it easy to get around. Snorkel masks and fins are provided for free, and kayaking is also an option. A pontoon shuttle runs to Veli Island, taking just two or three minutes to reach the other island. There are seven or eight restaurants to choose from, offering South Asian, Italian, Japanese, Thai, and Western cuisine, among others.
