Our honeymoon at Radisson Blu Maldives was nothing short of magical! The team went above and beyond to make our 6 days truly unforgettable. Choosing the all-inclusive package was the best decision—it included a complimentary seaplane journey, a relaxing couple’s massage, and a dreamy floating breakfast.
We immersed ourselves in incredible adventures, including four water sports, a manta & turtle tour, whale shark excursion, dolphin cruise, and jet skiing to a sandbar where we even spotted dolphins. Highly recommend the whale shark, dolphin cruise, and jet ski experiences—they were absolute highlights! You can skip Manta & turtle if you think 4 is a bit too much.
Special thanks to Alif at Raha for his exceptional service, Ahoo for guiding us on the water sports, Nashid for always being prompt and friendly with buggy service, and Akhil for keeping our room immaculate every day. The team’s care and attention to detail made our honeymoon a dream come true.
Radisson Blu Maldives is the perfect destination for a romantic escape, and we can’t recommend it enough!

My partner and I stayed at Radisson Maldives for 7 nights (403) and it was an amazing experience thanks to the staff, facilities, location.
All staff were so friendly and extremely considerate which made us feel like family.
We had dinner at The Lab which was such an amazing experience which consisted of a 4 course dinner with wine pairing. The sommelier, Ruwan paired the wine so well along with his assistant Adelia. Both of them ensured we had a memorable, fun evening. All 4 courses were delicious. Special mention to the chef for the dessert (chocolate sphere), it was absolutely delicious… something we have never tasted before and really enjoyed. Ruwan and Adelia made sure that we were having a good time throughout our stay.
Our housekeeper, Venu was so attentive to everything he did. Our villa was always in immaculate condition even down to our laundry being folded. For my birthday, he surprised me with the most beautiful design on the bedding and then outdid himself when we were leaving with the most creative ‘goodbye’ He deserves a special mention that “leadership is not about your title, it’s about your behavior”
Every morning we had breakfast at Raha and without fail, Soban checked on us everyday. He not only made sure we had everything we needed for breakfast but also checked in to see how our stay was and if we needed anything.
Every restaurant served the best bread rolls. Compliments to the baker for the softest, tastiest rolls.
The resort was perfect for the 7 days. The beaches, restaurants spa and gym were great and the staff throughout the resort were friendly and courteous.
A few things for the resort to note:
* we had the lobster bbq on one night and the very next night at Kabuki and felt that it was repetitive with getting sushi and meats/seafood that were not spiced.
* We were very sad to see the fish being fed rolls instead of fish food or similar.
* The sun loungers could be upholstered.
Despite any of that, we had a wonderful time at Radisson Maldives and would recommend it to anyone wanting a luxury resort.

The experience is incredible. Every person that works there are super sweet, helpful and hospitable.
Have a Dosa every morning Suresh is a Gem. Everyone remembers you and everyone says morning, hello and goodbye, it’s the small things.
Bilal and Ahoo are great guides for whale shark seeing too. Can’t wait to come back
Expensive but so so worth it
