We arrived at the beach resort via a sea plane, which was an incredible experience. The sea plane ride allowed us to see all the islands in the Maldives, although the noise from the plane was quite loud.
Overall, this resort is a peaceful getaway on a private island owned by Amaya. It truly gives you the feeling of being on an island without any disturbances. You can relax and explore freely, as they provide bicycles for guests to use, unlike other resorts.
The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-ventilated with effective air conditioning. The pools are not very large. Snorkeling is possible for those who know how to swim, as the water level is increased in the water villas. They provide three 1.5-liter bottles of water in the room, which are refilled every day. During dining, you can have as much water as you want. There is also a mini bar in the room stocked with chocolates and alcoholic drinks.
When it comes to food, I don't think any other resort offers as many options as this one. The buffet includes everything from bread to desserts, as well as milk, coffee, chocolates, fruits, salads, juices, smoothies, soups, and various non-vegetarian items. They even have live counters and different themed menus each day, such as Asian food or street food. The resort offers Indian, continental, Asian, and multicuisine dishes. Guests can choose between full board (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) or all-inclusive (including alcohol).
In terms of taste, as an Indian, I would rate the main course as 3 out of 5. Vegetarians may feel a bit unsatisfied, but the starters, live counters, and desserts are good. Seafood and non-vegetarian lovers will have plenty of options to choose from.
The hospitality at this resort is a major plus. They take care of everything from the moment you arrive until your departure.
There are additional amenities such as a beach volleyball court, an indoor game floor with carrom, chess, and snooker. The bar lounge is very pleasant, and the common pool is quite large. The spa is well-maintained.
The dive center is a bit expensive, and we felt that the diving trainers were not very good. However, you can still enjoy various water sports activities. It's important to note that most businesses in the Maldives accept payment in US dollars (USD).
Other notable inclusions at this resort are the crab race, sunset cruise trip, theme-based dinners, and the option to go on a paid blue whale cruise. As the island is located far from pollution, you can see a wide variety of fish species.
