Baglioni Resort Maldives

Location is amazing, small isle with super clear water in the middle of the ocean Atmosphere is really relaxing, ideal for a quiet holiday, despite the number of guests, there is no noise at all! We stayed at a Villa, superb room on the sea with a private terrace and direct access to the sea. Privacy is a must! Cleanliness is superb everywhere! Services in general are top! We tested a couple of excursions and a dive. The 2 dive masters (italian but english and spanish speakers) are super!! Plenty of choice of Restaurants with different menu and super chefs! Assistance by the Guest Manager Sarah was 24/7!

Our entire experience was incredible! The communication was excellent, from booking to arriving. Having stayed at many all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, this resort is a big step above in all areas. The accommodations and public areas were beautiful and well-maintained. Upender kept our room clean and surprised us with decorations on our bed. The views from our sunset water villa were stunning. Being particular eaters, we never had an issue finding food we enjoyed as there was so much variety. Barun, the chef at Taste, went out of his way to cook to our preferences. We loved the fresh fish options. The service received at the many restaurants was fantastic. RJ and Krishna were memorable. The variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages included is impressive and of great quality. Additionally, the bartenders always greeted us with a smile and got to know our drink preferences. Special thanks to Naymur, Veera, Sakid, and Simba who served us. We loved the beach and crystal-clear water. When Joy saw us seeking beach chairs, he quickly assisted and provided us with towels and water. This was a perfect getaway to reconnect and relax. We cannot wait to return!

The sea plane transfer was well organised, with Shifa helping in with the check in process and ensuring a smooth transfer to the Infinity lounge. Loved the 45 minute flight. On arrival at the resort we received a warm reception at the sea plane jetty. After a refreshing welcome drink, Sarah took us for an island tour in the golf buggy before arriving at our beautiful beach villa. It was clean and comfy with fantastic views. Lunch time, so we took a short stroll to the pool bar. Yudi was very helpful and explained we could order pizza with two different toppings and delivered a cocktail of the day. As the weather was a little unsettled our reservation for Fuego was moved into the Taste buffet restaurant. This was the first of many visits including breakfast to savour all the delicious treats. Barun (award winning chef) was kind enough to guide us through the many selections that were available. On this occasion we choose from the handmade pasta, would recommend the pumpkin ravioli cooked by chef Krishna. At breakfast chef Prageeth offered a secret supply of mango at the fresh fruit counter. Service excellent from Prabath. At the Italian restaurant we enjoyed two evenings with Nattu and Ali looking after us. The lemon dessert was very freshing, try not to eat too many courses as you may not get this far. Yama, has a varied menu and Ella was so helpful at ensuring our choices were perfect. On our last evening Fuego restaurant was open on the beach, a very romantic setting. Once again beautifully cooked meats or fish on the wood fired grill. A perfect finish to our trip. Thank you to Argentina for a guided Behind the Scenes tour. This has opened our eyes to how much effort has gone into making our holiday wonderful by a huge team of people, many of whom are not mentioned here. There are lots of trips and the spa you can enjoy. We just loved exploring the beach, sea and chilling in the pool, a very relaxing resort and we can’t wait to return. A final thank you to Sarah and Rameez for assisting with our reservations and questions.
