Facing the beachfront, The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah offers 5-star accommodation in Gaafu Alifu Atoll and features free bikes, outdoor swimming pool and fitness centre. Providing a restaurant, the property also has a garden, as well as a sauna. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a kids' club and free WiFi. Simply put, this is a truly magnificent place to stay in Maldives and there’s hardly anything one can compliant about. We visited The Residence in February, and it has been a fabulous experience. The island is conveniently located within a short boat ride from the local airport of Koodoo but at the same time warrants a feeling that you’re in a secluded paradise hideaway. It’s large enough so that you never feel it’s crowded and at the same time small enough to get from one end to another within a few-minutes bike ride (well-maintained bikes are provided complimentary for each villa). Beaches are beautiful with powder like sand, clean (though we’ve occasionally seen some debris) and the whole island enjoys lush greenery with hundreds of palm trees providing much desired shade and the jungle-like experience. The west side of the island seems a bit prettier due to spectacular green-blue shades of water; the east side of the island has seagrass at the bed which although very much needed to protect local ecosystems provides less spectacular water colours. The ability to go to the adjacent island via the wooden bridge connecting them is really nice and you can enjoy the sun at the sand bar located in between. The staff has been extremely nice and helpful, from the moment we’ve been taken over at the Male airport, through the journey to the island, at the reception, restaurants, water sports centre and everywhere else, we’ve always felt well taken care of. The villas are clean, extremely spacious (bathroom area is enormous), well maintained and equipped. Beds are comfortable, there’s plenty of seating area, AC and Wi-Fi work well, mini fridge is restocked every day. Again, the lush greenery separating villas in a very natural way provides privacy and shade, and most importantly the sea view is not obstructed. The private pool is amazing and provide the opportunity to cool off in the heat of the sun, at 1.

Overlooking the clear blue waters and partially submerged in the swimming pool, The Beach Bar serves light meals and island-style cocktails. Other dining options include The Dining Room, The Sunset Grill and The Falhumaa, which serves an array of fine international cuisines. Everything about this property met or exceeded my expectations. From the moment we were greeting at the airport till the time we left the property, the service was exceptional. Every staff on the property was extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, quiet and surrounded by the natural beauty. Was surreal. I stayed for 2 nights for my honeymoon and could've have asked for anything more. Thanks to all the staff and the amazing resort.

Providing free WiFi, a sun terrace with a swimming pool, private beach area and garden, Kondey Villas is located in Kondey. Featuring full-day security, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. This small boutique hotel is very new, and the rooms are furnished in a way that you cannot find in any of the local islands. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. If you are looking for a small local island experience and see another point of view of the Maldives it is really great. We combined this with a couple days of resort experience and it was perfect for us. The rooms are large and and very comfy. There is a small pool right outside of your room.

Offering quiet street views, Suncoral Maldives in Kondey provides accommodation, a garden and a shared lounge. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house offers garden views, a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

For guests with children, the guest house features a baby safety gate and babysitting service. A bicycle rental service and a private beach area are featured at Suncoral Maldives. it is very nice guest house on beautiful green island. Owner Abdull is very helpful and take care for us. He arranged for us cheap return flights from Male-Koddoo then speedboat to this beautiful island Kondey. Food is very fresh and delucious. Organized trips are for good price and offers lots of variations - for example - snorkeling trips, diving, night/day fishing, sunset piknik, desert island trip.. and more. Suncoral guest house is very clean and roomservice is everyday. AC works quietly and perfectly. Bed is very comfortable. I enjoyed stay and will return again :) I traveled lots of places in Maldives and i can say that in this island is still beautiful nature, not destroyed by mass tourism. I recommend it for people who like beautiful nature full of life.

The resort boasts 43 over-water and 25 beachfront villas with a breathtaking sunset view and 20 villas with their own private pool. The interiors use striking colours merged with stylish and contemporary Maldivian design. All villas feature an outdoor terrace, indoor and outdoor showers, an HD TV with international channels, WiFi, and USB port chargers. Everything was perfect... my first, but certainly not the last!!! I decided to travel at the very last minute and I must say that reservation team has been super helpful ie with the domestic flight, upon arrival to Malé, at the lounge... When in the hotel, it was just like a dream!! All was amazing... looking forward to returning there soon!!!

The villas offer stylish interiors, finished with Middle-Eastern and Maldivian design elements. Beach villas and suites feature a secluded private garden with pool and outdoor shower - just a few steps away from the beach. Over-water villas and suites offer amazing views over the open ocean and also have private pools and outdoor showers. Unforgettable vacation!! We would like to come again

Enjoy luxurious stays on an exclusive island at Park Hyatt Maldives, with 5-star villas located steps from powdery white sand. It features an outdoor pool, PADI 5 Star dive and activity centre, first-rate spa and fitness centre. Location, mosque and decoration

Set in Gaafu Alif Atoll, ROBINSON MALDIVES features bungalows and villas with spa tubs, terraces and outdoor rain showers. Free snorkelling equipment is provided. Free WIFI is available.

The restaurants offer island views. The property offers paid airport shuttle serivce. Great atmosphere, food, friendly staff, lovely room and amenities. Loved the spa as well! Will definitely return in future if we can.

Dining options include REEF that serves a selection of Asian delights, SURF that serves grilled sea food and Pizza Kaage, where guests can enjoy light meals and get takeaway pizzas. Iru Bar is a beach bar whereas cocktails, drinks and snacks can be enjoyed at Thari Bar while the sun shines and beyond at the pool bar. In my opinion, this is the best place on earth to relax and disconnect from the craziness of everyday life. This is also the only resort in the Maldives that I have no hesitation returning to. The staff, the food and the facilities are fabulous, but the best thing about this place is the house reef with its beautiful marine life. Nothing beats swimming with and amongst the beautiful fish and countless other sea creatures. You can't experience that in places offering just a blue lagoon. The water is crystal clear when the weather is good, the sand is soft, and you are not stepping - and shouldn't anyway - on any corals. You have to swim a bit to get to them. The staff at the restaurant are lovely and very happy to accommodate any special requests guests might have, but quite frankly, I doubt they have to do it often as the variety of dishes offered is plentiful and very well prepared. I love staying at this resort and will be heading there again in a few days' time. I can hardly wait! I highly recommend this place to anyone wishing to visit the Maldives and have the best experience possible.

If you wish to be a bit more adventurous in exploring the island and the crystal-clear blue waters of the atoll, The Pullman’s PADI 5-star certified Suvadiva Dive Center and Water Sports offers a large choice of motorized and non-motorized activities, diving courses, daily excursions, and mermaid courses. Other activities on the island include karaoke, golf, nature walks, tennis, beach volleyball, bicycle rental, and many more. The location was simply stunning! The room was super clean and absolutely comfortable. Although there were other guests, it felt so private, as we were the only people on the island. Even without snorkelling, you can see so much marine life while out and about, including shark, stingrays, eagle rays and turtles. The entire complex was well maintained. The food was of great quality, and the staff was kind and ready to help. This property is true paradise!
