I was here for my honeymoon with my wife in the start of november. Truly a unbelivable experience. It started with us arriving at the Male airport where an employee was waiting for us and everyone that came with the same plane. He brought us to the speed boat where the crew drove us to the island while they gave us bottled water. It was a warm welcome at the island with lemon scented frozen towels to freshen up and passion fruit juice. Our host Azaliya (she was wonderful for the whole trip. Checking in on us, explaining everything and bringing us the daily news about whats happening on the island) took care of the check-in. After enjoying a wonderful buffer breakfast we were driven to out accomadation. We have taken the vila with the acces to the sea which i also recommend. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is buffer style, but there are also a couple of other restaurant which offer different trypes of cousine. A funky bar next to the pool that offers cocktails and other drinks. Next to the pool is also a specialty coffee where they roast their coffee beans. Everyday there were animations, or sport tournament, live music etc. On the island there are spa and sauna options and sports center. Our housekeeper Abu Taher was very friendly cleaning the room in the morning, new fresh towels, water, coffee etc. And again in the evening time a quick refreshment of the room. The waiter from the captains bar always observant, and ready to offer the right option while sunbathing by the pool during the day or relaxing on the sofas late in the evening while puffing shishas. The two lovely ladies working at breakfast, always smilling and bringing joy. Our host Azaliya realy made us feel special. She was there for us 24/7, helping, offering and taking care of us. 10/10 hospitality. But the Maldives... thats the superstar here. The colour of the sky. The colour of the sea. The softnes of the sand. The perfect climate where its never to hot and never cold (day 32°C, night 28°C). Truly a paradise on this world and suitable name for the island. Read less

couldn’t recommend villa nautica enough. We were treated like VIPs from the moment we landed in the airport. Our host Juliana went over and above to make sure our stay was amazing. From spa bookings to sorting out a late check out without us even asking! We could not have asked for me. Thank you for an amazing stay 🙏🏻 we hope to come back!

Okay first the not so great stuff. I don't think the hotel is maximizing this potential. The activities such as using a jet ski it's way too expensive and as a result they are not use very often. Lower the prices make it more attractive and you will see them in full use more often and that will bring in more revenue. The same applies to the massage therapy options. It was fabulous believe me but they had quite an uptake because they ran a special and cut the price by quite a bit. Travellers should be aware that if you want to use the steam room you need to book it in advance you can't just go and use it. There are also levels to the all-inclusive be aware. The normal will inclusive doesn't entitle you to whatever you would like. Now to the good stuff. It begins and ends with the staff. They are very welcoming very eager to help very kind so pleasant. I was there for my birthday and they made my birthday quite memorable as you will see from the pictures below. Now I had the names of the people who stood out to me but sadly I've lost that the piece of paper. At least I have pictures of them to share. Thank you thank you thank you to you all. The island itself is I think quite large when compared to others around. We stayed in a beach villa which was perfect if there was plenty to see in the waters and there are excursions you can go on. The beaches are lovely and clean. And I never struggled with the food there was always something for me. If you're going to eat outside of the main dining room definitely consider the Italian restaurant at the end of the pier. The pizza was excellence as was the service. Thank you again we hated to leave. Read less
