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!
