From the very first moment, we arrived at the airport and met the Kandolhu team until our departure. Every detail of our stay was flawlessly orchestrated to create an exceptional experience. Though we stayed for only three nights, the warmth, professionalism, and excellence of the team made it truly unforgettable. Location: The journey itself is part of the magic—just a 20-minute scenic seaplane flight followed by a short 5-10 minute boat ride that transports you to this paradise. The Island: Small, serene, and breathtakingly beautiful, Kandolhu is the epitome of a private island retreat. The Resort: Thoughtfully designed with just 30 villas, the property balances exclusivity and comfort. It offers five outstanding restaurants, a stylish bar, a well-equipped gym, a serene spa, and a sea activities center—ensuring that every guest finds their own perfect way to unwind. Our Villa: We chose an overwater villa, and it exceeded all expectations. With a private pool and direct sea access, it provided the perfect blend of luxury and tranquillity. Staff & Service: The essence of true hospitality is mastered here. The team anticipated our needs before we even realized them, creating a seamless, highly personalized experience. Their warmth and attention to detail set a new benchmark for excellence. Dining: A standing ovation to the executive chef, sous-chefs, and the entire culinary team. The food was fresh, inventive, and packed with flavour. With five distinct restaurants—offering Mexican-Peruvian, Mediterranean, Japanese, Sea Grill, and an all-day dining option—every meal was a delightful journey of taste. Spa: We had the 'couple ritual'. A sanctuary of relaxation, the spa at Kandolhu offers a truly rejuvenating experience. With expert therapists, soothing treatments, and a tranquil setting, every session feels like a retreat within a retreat—perfect for unwinding and embracing the island’s serenity. Housekeeping: Impeccable.

It is an incredibly beautiful place with very friendly and accommodating staff. truly wonderful experience from every perspective. No wishes were unaddressed. Our special thanks goes to Claire and her team that made us feel simply blessed to be there.

Beautiful hotel at the beach on a calm local island. Staff are incredible nice and there is variety of tours available, so there is no chance to get bored. Snorkeling with mantas, turtles, fishing...you can do anything. SUP rental was available too and it was great to paddle around. Akeyz is very attentive and ready to help. There is a roof top restaurant and they also serve delicious coffee. Thank you for beautiful memories :-)

I absolutely loved it at spendeur grand! Everybody was incredibly hospitable! Fazeel was exceptionally helpful and patient! The snorkeling was amazing! They even took us to a huge lagoon in the middle of the ocean which was not part of our snorkeling tour. Loved it!!

AYIRA hotel has everything you can ask for! The room is very nice and modern and the bed is really comfortable. The bathroom is amazing, everything new and working properly. I particularly enjoyed the nice hot showers. The breakfast is delicious and they are very flexible with time in case you need it. But the best thing about the hotel, without a doubt, is the lovely family that runs the hotel. Amjad (the hotel owner) awaits and welcomes you upon arrival. He explains everything about the island (bikini beach, shops, restaurants). He shows you around the island and makes sure you have everything you need or ask for. I cannot be more grateful to Amjad who made my stay in Feridhoo the best experience on a local Maldivian island. He even helped me with my upcoming move to a different island and made sure I was there. Besides that, the people in Feridhoo are very friendly and kind. We definitely felt at home and we recommend AYIRA hotel 100%!

We went with our two year old daughter and the staff were very accommodating to our needs. The location is amazing and the facilities are great. Snorkelling was fantastic and up there with some of the best we have ever experienced in the world. Highly recommended and would love to go back again next year.

It is an absolutely fabulous place. Starting from the island itself, the reefs around, and ending with the people working there. From the first time we set foot on the island, we were looked after wonderfully. Starting from the person cleaning our room, through the employees of the bar, reception or water attractions, and ending with the service of the restaurant - the people working there are a real treasure. We were traveling with a small child, which can cause problems, but the staff was helpful to us all the time. The front desk staff guaranteed us to extend our stay on the island until late afternoon due to a late flight from Male, co What is very important, the food is of a high standard, the chefs try to make it varied and tasty, and they do it wonderfully. The reefs around are teeming with fish, snorkeling is free, and the staff in charge of it turns a daily trip into a unique experience. The rooms were clean, cleaned every day, and the water changed on a regular basis. We definitely recommend this place to rest and thank you for a great time! He cannot imagine that I could spend this time better during my stay in the Maldives.

We had a fantastic stay at sevinex inn. From start to finish the staff were fantastic. We did 3 trips with the hotel at a very reasonable price for the location. Breakfast was good on all occasions. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a chilled and quiet holiday. Thank you to all the staff at sevinex.

We loved every moment in Athuruga! it was an amazing stay! The property is beautiful with white sand, the best lagoon and a very beautiful house reef with easy access from the beach. The food was amazing with 2 restaurants to choose from (buffet and a la carte). This was our 6th time in the Maldives and our favorite. What make it so special were the people that worked in the resort. They were all genuinely nice and worked very hard to make our stay wonderful. Our special thank you to the administration for the free upgrade to the water villas and to Mr. Nizam for going the extra mile to make us even more comfortable. We would like also to thank: - the water sports personnel for the free guided visits to the house reef which was a magical moment; - the water villa restaurant employees, specially Mr. Mohamed for the great service and the Chef of both restaurants for the very tasty food; - the cleaner of the water villa 6 for always taking great care of the room and always being so nice to us. We plan to return again in the future.
