We went for our honeymoon and we couldn't recommend it more. Excellent service from everyone here. Accomodating all our requests, particularly around the weather. The restaurants are exquisite and waiters/waitresses go out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our experience. We particularly enjoyed going to Liverpool Bai for Italian and Cantonese and the service from Hasan. He always made recommendations based on what we enjoyed and so every meal was memorable. We will definitely be coming back!

We had the most incredible time. The water villa with pool was fantastic - spacious, luxurious, clean and great amenities. The food was delicious - so much choice and a variety of cuisines. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Excursions were great. Keen to return soon!

Just returned from a 10 night stay and it was amazing, the staff are brilliant, the food is fantastic it’s the first holiday I’ve ever put weight on as I never missed a meal hats off to the chefs. The property was probably half full due to the season so it was lovely and quiet so we had no problems booking restaurants and the weather was perfect. We stayed in a beach villa 203 the location was perfect steps away from the beach , pool and dining room. We did go over to the other side but found it too spaced out and the pool area had no beach so if you going I would choose the Fallahmushi .My husband did some diving and said it was good swam with a lot of sharks. The only downside point to our stay was the lack of entertainment, a bit of live music on an evening would have gone down a treat or maybe a little show of some kind other than that I don’t have anything bad to say, Please if I can answer any questions you ease anyone’s mind I will .

Every moment of our 9 days stay was memorable. The Villas were nice and confy. surroundings and marine life stunning with turtels, rays and small reef sharks passing often just a few feet from our water villa. Every member of the staff made us feel like we were their top priority. Food and drinks is top class at all servings. Can especially mention the dininig room, li bai and Long island restaurants. Our best reccomendations to all that consider a stay.

My partner and I just got back from our honeymoon - we stayed 9 nights at The Residence Maldives Falhumaafushi and honestly, I don't think we could've picked a better holiday. The resort was breathtaking, the over water villas were amazing, the food was to die for, there was so much to do.... we went wake boarding, snorkelling with turtles, on a dolphin cruise, to the spa, beach bars, bike riding, stand up paddle boarding... It felt so exclusive...like we were the only ones on the island! The staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We haven't stopped telling everyone about our trip since we've been back! Highly recommend!!
