We had an incredible stay at the Intercontinental Maldives. Our two-story villa with a private pool and ocean view was beautiful and luxurious — the perfect place to relax. A highlight of our trip was the dolphin excursion, where we saw a group of 40-50 dolphins — truly an unforgettable experience. The food was exceptional, especially the breakfast, with an impressive variety of options. The different restaurants offered a great selection, ensuring every meal felt special. The staff were amazing — so welcoming, friendly, and attentive. They were especially kind to our daughter, which made her feel right at home. The kids’ club was incredible, with fantastic activities that kept her entertained and happy throughout the trip. If you’re looking for a luxurious and family-friendly getaway with stunning views, delicious food, and outstanding service, the Intercontinental Maldives is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be back! Read less

We was in Maldives 10 times and all hotel same level provide better service for their guests, Also in the beach side in the water have planktons witch give to skin very strong allergy its happens same time with me and my husband. When we go to their medical room their doctor is smile and tell its happens here:( Maybe better to tell guests in advance that they can have some allergy ( If i know i never swim because im pregnant and this allergy is not good for me(( 15.000$ for 7 days and just waisting money unfortunately!
