Everything you need is covered. There are champagne breakfasts, scrumptious lunches, and dinners at its international, IndoCeylon, Peking, R.A.W, M6m and Joie de Vivre restaurants. There are bottomless drinks with Champagne, whiskies, international beers, premium spirits, and more than 80 wines. There’s your complimentary mini-bar, topped up daily - even the champagne. There are unlimited snorkelling excursions and non-motorised water sports. And, the longer you stay, the more complimentary diving or spa treats you get.

Ozen Life Maadhoo is a truly remarkable resort that combines luxury, stunning surroundings, and impeccable service. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the dining experience, with a special mention to the incredibly talented Chinese chef. His dishes were outstanding, showcasing authentic flavours, beautiful presentation, and a level of skill that made every meal unforgettable. He cooked breakfast with delicious fried rice/noodles, master level Peking dinner, as well as the fish we caught on our fishing trip. The resort itself is paradise – from the crystal-clear waters to the private beach and numerous activities like snorkeling and diving, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The staff were warm and attentive, making us feel welcome and well cared for throughout our stay. Read less
