The Residence Maldives

“The word perfection seems inadequate”

Could not fault this accommodation. The serenity, the staff and everything in between. Unreal!. Absolutely nothing. Not one single thing

“Un endroit idyllique au bout du monde”

The villa on stilts, number 315, was absolutely everything I could wish for, with direct access to the coral reef barrier and daily displays of marine life that were unlike anything I had seen before. The staff took great care of us and were endearing, the restaurants offered a wide variety of dishes that were truly excellent, the gym was well equipped, and the CLARINS spa had an exceptional view. We also enjoyed the Sunset dolphins excursion, which was magical. In short, it was an outstanding trip and we’re already looking forward to returning.

“Прекрасно прекарване.”

The resort was huge, and every villa had a bike—riding them was a pleasure. The villas over the water with pools and sunset views were fantastic, and all interiors were uniform, clean, and comfortable. Each island had a pool bar, and on the evening of Dhigura there was a DJ. The staff were very friendly. There were three à la carte restaurants; we recommend Li Bai and Falhuma. The reef is very close to the island, where turtles live, and we saw them every time. It’s beautiful and pleasant, and a major plus is that you don’t have to travel far for the reef. The team worked hard to satisfy all our wishes— we had our wedding on the island, and everything was perfect: décor, hair, makeup, bouquet, and attitude. They also assisted us well with arrivals and departures from the airport via internal flights. We liked Falhuma island more, but the bikes and strollers can be used on both islands. It’s nice that there aren’t many sharks around the islands; at another resort we’d been to, there were far more. Thanks to the whole team, especially manager Sanjeet, Ahmet, the manager at the beach bar at Falhuma—service at lunch was perfect—Ajuran (not sure of the name), and the transfer team—Milton and the bus driver to the airport—they helped us with check‑in and luggage. We’re very satisfied with the entire experience and the hotel’s facilities. Thank you! The buffet restaurant food wasn’t very good, otherwise the à la carte restaurants and lunch were superb. In April, when we left, they announced that the à la carte restaurants would no longer be all‑inclusive but would have a budget of $50, which I don’t think is correct, given that the package is all‑inclusive and additional payment will still be required. I would recommend adding some evening entertainment program for guests. There was a karaoke show but it started at 18:30, which was inconvenient. The evening was a bit dull.

We stayed on this beautiful island and it was super peaceful, managed by really courteous and attentive staff. They provided bikes which were great for getting around, including to a stunning beach halfway to the connected island. The food was good and the service was excellent, and our rooms were spacious and nicely decorated, really comfortable. However, we did experience strong winds almost every day, which made swimming on the reef a bit scary due to strong currents.
