The hotel

This tropical paradise is a haven of tranquillity with beautiful, white sandy beaches and a wealth of amenities - the perfect ingredients for idyllic island living. As you would expect, there are water sports in abundance, as well as plenty of land sports, including tennis and volleyball. Beach and overwater villas are furnished with contemporary touches and come well-equipped with the latest amenities, and private pools with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. If you feel in need of pampering — after all, you are on holiday — head for the hotel’s spa, set across a bridge on Crusoe’s Island. Indulge in the latest massage and beauty treatments, feeling refreshed and ready to face the world again. With so many activities on offer, you’re sure to build up an appetite, but with a choice of excellent restaurants to tempt you, there’s no worries on that front! Get your day off to a great start at Raha, serving a hearty breakfast buffet with a slice of paradise views.

Review for Radisson Blu Resort Our stay at the Radisson Blu Resort was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the level of hospitality and service was truly exceptional. The culinary experience was a standout feature of our trip. Chef Alae delighted us with his incredible dishes and treated us to authentic Moroccan tea—a unique and memorable touch. Chef Suresh also impressed us with his outstanding meals, combining flavors and presentation that were simply exquisite. A special mention goes to Mustafa, our private butler, whose impeccable service and attention to detail made our stay feel truly luxurious. He went above and beyond to ensure every moment of our visit was perfect. Soban and Dolma were equally exceptional, always attentive and ready to assist with warmth and professionalism. Their care added so much to our experience. We also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Bilal from the dive center, whose expertise and friendliness made our underwater adventures truly unforgettable. His passion and knowledge ensured a safe and exciting experience that we’ll treasure forever. Nashid from the shuttle service deserves a huge thank-you for his incredible kindness and helpful nature. He made every transfer smooth and enjoyable, always going the extra mile. The resort itself is a paradise, with breathtaking surroundings, luxurious amenities, and an atmosphere that promotes relaxation and joy. Every detail was carefully designed to create a truly magical stay. Thank you to the entire team for making our time at Radisson Blu Resort so special. We cannot wait to return! Read less

One of the best destinations we ever been to. The hospitality of the entire staff was magnificent. Must mention the best hospitality ever served to us by the Chefs Prasad and Sajith at the Resort’s main restaurant was truly inspirational. Definitely come back again for a memorable holiday.
