We had an unforgettable experience in Avani Maldives. Our guide beautiful Nathu is really nice, she helped us solved many problems and satisfied any needs that we required to help us with a wonderful honeymoon holidays.
Food: really nice and delicious, especially Charcoal, where my husband really liked it and we booked two dinners there.
Staffs: all people are nice and friendly, they made lovely beds and warm words to help us with our sleep.
Villa: Nice and new. Good snorkeling views.
Definitely strong recommendation. For anyone who come to Maldives, this could be your first choice!
We’ve travelled to many places around the world and stayed in countless hotels and resorts — some even more expensive than this — but Vakkaru is truly the BEST experience we’ve ever had.
Baa Atoll is already one of the world’s most pristine ecological reserves, and the resort’s blue holes and sandbanks are simply addictive. We could visit them several times a day and still never get enough. At any moment, you’ll find different kinds of fish swimming freely around you.
Beyond the beauty and the facilities, what truly makes Vakkaru unforgettable is the people.
Our butler Myat, the sommelier, and our roomboy Mohamond all went above and beyond, offering the warmest, most thoughtful care throughout our stay. Their kindness made all the difference.
It’s really hard for us to leave.
We will definitely be back — and without a doubt, we’ll choose Vakkaru again.
This island is actually not very big, but every part of it suits my aesthetic taste! There are only beach villas on the island, no water villas, and it is quite far from Male, so you need to take a domestic flight and then a speedboat to get to the island!
But I personally like it more!
The rooms are all wooden and retro in style. The rooms are very large and have front and back yards! Then just a few steps out of the door you can reach the beach 🏝️, the sand is fine and soft!
Compared to those internet-famous islands, this is really a good place if you just want to lie down!
There are three restaurants on the island! Generally, there is a fixed buffet restaurant! But the restaurant is very big, you can see the sea when you open the door, and there is also a fish pond!
The restaurant also has a wide variety of dishes. For breakfast, there are waffles and pancakes. You can also choose to cook eggs according to your own taste 🍳! There will be small BBQ skewers in the evening! Then the fruit will be cut and the staff will ask you if you like it and he can cut it for you!
There will be lots of activities on the island too!
This is my second time coming to Dhigufaru Resort Island. It was always lovely to come here. Our butler, Afa always prepared the best for us. The first time we came, on my partner’s birthday and they prepared us the complimentary cake and even help to figure out our transfer problem. The second time we came, there was a little miscommunication regarding our booking and our room choices were fullbook, but she managed for us so we still can get our preferences room based on our booking and evenmore better. The manta feeding was fun as well, so excited to see the manta & shark from very close to the beachline. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner are also good with various options. The room was clean and the amnities were completed. I love the smell of the lotion the most. A good place to creating memories. Definitely will come back again 💛
Shuifei arrives at the hotel in 30 minutes. The service is not bad. There are many types of breakfast and dinner, mainly Western style. Dinner is almost no seafood. There are grilled steak, grilled lamb chops and grilled shrimps. The hotel is really big and the tail beach is also very good Beautiful, the restaurant on the trailing beach only has lunch, there is basically nothing to eat, the taste is not suitable for Chinese people,
Very good holiday island, no children, quiet. The room service was very good, the housekeeper arranged in a well-organized manner, we came to clean as soon as we went out, and replenished enough water. The breakfast and dinner are very rich, the level is very high, satisfied. The only downside is that this time to catch up with the heavy wind and rain, there is no snorkeling and any sea activities. The pick-up service is very good, there is a lounge, at the water airport, some distance from the international airport, there is a car transfer, and the service staff will follow.
We chose this hotel, the price/performance ratio is really good. After the trip, some people arranged for pick-up and drop-off, arranged for the inland plane and speedboat to arrive at the resort. After arriving at the fake village, the service staff sent a welcome to each person. We originally booked 5 I lived in a luxury villa in the evening. Fortunately, I can live in the water villa on the 4th night. The two villas have their own characteristics. The luxury villas can see the sunset, the water villas can see the sunrise, and everything is well arranged. The beach has white sand and the water is very blue. We cleaned the room twice a day. We booked a full breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was also served in the same main restaurant. The waiter was very polite. Every night there are different dishes and facilities. Enough, in addition to drinking water, only one bottle is supplied per room per day. The water in the hose is only filtered once and the salt is not completely filtered. Therefore, it is not suitable for drinking. To drink extra water, you should buy it at the restaurant or bar.
Had a great holiday at the beautiful Westin. The 45-minute flight distance from Male Airport is just right, and the hotel's pick-up and drop-off services are very attentive. Our order included breakfast and dinner, and one of the dinners could be reserved at the Japanese restaurant. The buffet has a rich variety and you can taste food from different countries. Due to the strong wind and waves during this period, unfortunately we were unable to participate in sea activities such as paddle boarding, but the coaches held a fierce volleyball match in the swimming pool. You can see some corals 🪸 and tropical fish 🐠 while snorkeling. The room facilities are impeccable. The most impressive thing is the enthusiasm of the staff. Whether it is the welcome and farewell queue at the pier, the chat in the restaurant, or the greetings when we meet on the road, it makes you feel as if you are in a familiar community and feel more relaxed and comfortable. If there is a chance in the future, I will come again!
It was very troublesome to choose an island before. I chose Four Seasons through various comparisons. I read many reviews before and they were not from Ctrip, so it was difficult to get the information I needed. I would like to provide my experience for your reference.
1. Plan and book your itinerary in advance. Ctrip’s self-operated prices are competitive and the service is guaranteed.
2. Booking a meal package is definitely more cost-effective than ordering a la carte. Unless you don’t plan to have lunch or have a late flight and can’t have dinner on the first day, it is recommended to book a meal package as the most cost-effective option, because meals are not cheap.
3. One week before departure, be sure to remember to make an appointment with your hotel for pick-up and drop-off to the island.
4. If you plan to have three meals a day, don’t bring food to the island. Most people won’t be able to finish the set meals they provide.
5. There is a Chinese service. Generally, you can use WeChat to enter your requirements in Chinese.
6. Personally, I think there is no need to participate in sea activities. Just stay in the hotel and snorkel on the shore.
7. Regardless of whether it is the official website or Ctrip.com, as long as it is the same room type but cheaper, no matter it is a sunrise room or any description, as long as it is cheaper, the sea view will be blocked by the breakwater.
8. Don’t always live in a water house. The sand house is more convenient. The water house has a better sea view and snorkeling next to the beach is better. But if you are lucky when snorkeling in the water house, you can see the eagle ray.
9. There are only two restaurants for brunch, but there are more choices for dinner, and everything is delicious.
10. You may or may not give a tip for cleaning. If you want to tip, prepare a dollar or a dollar. You can decide how much you tip.
11. Entry is now visa-free, but you need to declare online
12. The service, environment and food are basically impeccable, but they must be receptive to foreign food.
13. Apart from being expensive, there is nothing wrong with it. If there are many people, they also have a private island that can accommodate more than 20 people. You can contact Baodao
14. The sand along the coast of the sand house is very fine, and the room has direct access to the beach. However, because the sand is very fine, it affects the snorkeling visibility to a certain extent.
15. If you are traveling independently, it is best if you know a little bit of English. If not, translation software will be enough.
In conclusion, this island is not a trap, but it is a bit expensive. Booking in advance will be much cheaper.

ّ I really enjoyed my stay at the resort! Everything was perfect — the hospitality, the facilities, and the relaxing atmosphere. Thank you for a great experience.
Unforgettable experience! Beautiful island, fortunately not rebuilt for tourists but with the respect of their Maldivian culture. Incredible nature and all the people that work there are all very kind and welcoming. we were truly happy.Tthe only small flaw is that the activities and extras are really expensive and in a hotel like this it is not proportionate. We could have done many excursions and booked every day massages etc but with such high prices we limited ourselves to two. the risk is to lose opportunities. so this is my only advice. Thanks anyway for this beautiful holiday! See you soon
The trip of the lifetime! Our butler Hassan made our stay smooth. Our daughter had ear pain on the first night and the Doctor gave her all she needed to recover. The island is gorgeus, the house reef is wonderful and you can see the underwater life at your first step to the ocean. We loved the food and honestly the helpers around us: Obbs, Alex, Bob, Mona, Saeed, Kabi, Pabi made our stay unforgettable! I was literally crying when we needed to return to Europe! I absolutely recommend the luxury villa with pool for families with children! Our daughter fell in love with Kids club and still talks about it. Seaplane absolutely worth it to Dusit Thani it is very funny and amazing view.
The most amazing staff ever. I travelled with my 2 daughters and I can not thank the staff enough for their amazing hospitality. We told them about the allergies my elder daughter has and they took extra care about that. Big thanks to the restaurant staff including the chefs for their hospitality.
真的觉得好赞 it’s very nice, and staff are extremely friendly and thoughtful. The view is amazing, and everything has been arranged perfectly. We enjoyed a lot with baby. Btw the photographer in the resort place is just amazing. Every pic he “randomly” took was been praised by all of our friends. Just perfect
The advantage of this Four Seasons hotel is that it's a large resort, so there are plenty of activities available, including water slides and some free programs, such as a free one-hour snorkeling class for beginners every day. The disadvantage is that because the hotel (by luxury hotel standards) has a large number of rooms, the service is not personalized. If you need more personalized hotel service, it's recommended to choose another resort with butler service at this price point.
