Among resorts in Maldives, Outrigger Maldives Maafushivaru Resort is the typical island epitomizing all that one dreams of when thinking of the Maldives. Located in a private island in the pristine South Ari Atoll region, approximately 25-minute seaplane flight away from Malé International Airport. With its small island charm, lush vegetation surrounded by powder-white soft sand, and a house reef that a myriad of tropical fish call home, the island is just over 350 metres in length and can be walked in just 10 minutes and a bit! Thatch-roofed villas inspired by local architecture are set amidst verdant gardens or are poised over the turquoise lagoon. Deceivingly modest exteriors hide worldly comforts and indulgences and all villas offer direct access to the beach or to the sea.

It was my first time going to the Maldives. Of the many hotels available, we chose Outrigger because the house reef was beautiful, it had a bathtub, and it had a pool. We stayed for 6 days. It was all-inclusive and all of our restaurant times were planned for the day we arrived. The sea was beautiful every day, and the staff were very kind and always smiling. The food at all the restaurants was delicious and we were full to the brim. I joined a tour to see manta rays and whale sharks. I saw four manta rays. Unfortunately, I didn't see any whale sharks, but I was able to snorkel. We had a lot of fun every day. Thank you!

My experience in the hotel. I am very satisfied with the attitude of everyone in this resort and most of the staffs will show their are beautiful smile to guests and they patiently answer guests surrounding attractions area and best location to take pictures, especially breakfast and dinner selection. has a handsome waiter called Saalim, his perfume smells is pretty good. also the bartender he makes very good especially martini to me. Wow the taste is awesome. And all chefs team make the good presentation for food. Taste is yummy , can make my stomach happy and I can take good picture. Just one thing have to improve if they add live band music. it will be fantastic.

It was an outstanding experience, we stayed with my adult daughter for 5 days, we LOVED that the island was smaller and so easily walked instead of biking or golf carts, out overwater villa, had an amazing breeze with both sides of the room opening up… we felt like we were on a boat, LOVED that this resort had its own reef with snorkeling right there off the dock instead of taking a boat trip out 🙏 All the staff were incredible, remembered our names everywhere we went!!! My daughter’s dream came true when we went on a manta ray excursion, she got to swim with her favorite creatures in the wild!!! Food was incredible… would highly recommend this resort!!!!
