NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort Reviews

Truly amazing experience. Polite and passionate staff. Stunning view whole day. Nice food. Once in a life time experience one should have.

Haowoda is definitely the king of value for money in its price range. The snorkeling is great, there is a large lagoon, the rooms are not luxurious but adequate, the food is better than expected, and there are passion fruit trees there every day.

Excellent staff, special thanks to the attentive Ayaz, who greeted us kindly and was in touch with us throughout the entire stay. Nice clean large rooms. The only thing we didn't like was the very modest food, not up to par for a 5 star hotel. Otherwise, everything is great!

I went to the Maldives for a vacation some time ago, and I had a great experience staying at [hotel name]! From the moment I set foot on the hotel, I was attracted by its beauty. The white sand beach is as fine as powder, and it is very pleasant to step on. The room is a water villa with a private pool. The decoration is exquisite and warm, and the facilities are complete. The service staff is warm and thoughtful, and they also prepared welcome drinks when checking in. The hotel's dining is also great. The restaurant offers international cuisine and the seafood is fresh and delicious. Watching the beautiful sunset at the beach every evening is extremely romantic. There are many water activities, and you can see the colorful underwater world when diving. I highly recommend this hotel, which is definitely a great choice to relax and enjoy your vacation!

The room is new and nice. The service is very good and there is a Chinese butler. The service is very convenient starting from the Male International Terminal, and the arrangement of domestic flights is impeccable. The island reefs are beautiful, especially the corals are very healthy, and you can see all kinds of fish. Sharks and turtles are very common. Dolphins often appear in the nearby waters of Zaowan Bay, and you can see them on the island. The food is simple, but the resort is aware of it and is actively improving it. You can see the Milky Way at night when there are no clouds. Children are free of charge for food and accommodation. If there is no domestic flight fee, the cost performance is perfect. It is suitable for staying for a few more days. It is recommended to stay in a water house or a sand house on the east side. You have to walk to snorkel in the sand house on the west side. There is construction work at the diving center on the island, and large ships are moored, which is slightly inconvenient. In addition, snorkeling equipment on the island is not free, but the price is okay.

I was very satisfied with the hotel this time. Although the journey was a bit far, the environment was really good. I stayed in a water house for 6 days and felt it was worth it. The service staff were also very friendly. They started picking me up from Male and accompanied me in the queue until everything was arranged. I was very satisfied. I won't talk about the island environment. My Chinese is not good, so I can't describe it with beautiful words.

The hotel service is good, the staff is very friendly, the transportation arrangement is very good, the restaurant has a wide variety of delicious food, the facilities are new and clean, and the overall quality is very good.

We had the most stunning amazing time for our anniversary in Havodda. All our needs and requests were looked after by Murooj on the island who ensured we went to our appointments and activities. We will be never forget the beach, the fresh food, the hospitality of the staff, the amazing weather and the fantastic time you have there. The sunrise and sunset are to live for here. Please travel there if you want to make unforgettable experiences/memories. Remember to invite us as well!

We had an amazing time here. Beach was clean, rooms cleaned twice a day, food good, reef amazing. But what made our holiday the best ever was the staff. Just a few mentions. Alim our room cleaner did the best job. Our room was always clean, always fresh towels and outside swept. Ali, Kartiki and Dewi from the restaurant made our stay very special. Such lovely people, always friendly, helpful, nice to chat to about their life and where they are from. Always did everything for us, remembered our drinks and favourite table. Special mention to Pradeep the chef. He did his best for us. Arranged mangosteens at breakfast for us. Always made my favourite curries, came over to make sure everything was good for us at the table and prepared our favourite dessert for our last night. Anvy our butler arranged everything we wanted to do over WhatsApp and took the best photos of us snorkelling which we now have on our wall at home. Havodda is pretty far from male and the airport is terrible but I’d do it again to go back. Love this place. I’ve been to the Maldives five times and this place is my fav.

We have been in Maldives before but I have to speak from the bottom of my heart, that never have I received such an amazing service and atmosphere before than here. The staff in every field is truly professional, kind, active and brilliant. This place is from another world. I also had the best massage of my life! So I deeply recommend the Spa with wonderful treatments and professional therapists. NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort is the most beautiful place I have ever visited and so clean. My son was so happy there, that he cried when we had to leave. We stayed in water villa and would definitely choose that again. So, I must say to everyone in Havodda; thank you all so much for everything you do in your work to make visitors happy. So well lead in every detail.

It's very nice feeling in Havodda resort which views is so beautiful.I specially thank for my friend Axasd who giving us too much help that we can play in the island so well.what attracts us is the buffet whatever breakfast or dinner in the Reef.I will come here again if I have another chance

This was our third time at this stunning resort, and we are still absolutely amazed! It’s a true paradise for families, offering something for everyone, from the youngest to the oldest. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome and valued every single day. The resort’s setting is breathtaking, especially for those who love diving and snorkeling – it’s an underwater wonderland right at your doorstep! We noticed the new management by NH and heard about their plans for exciting changes. It will be interesting to see how the resort evolves while hopefully keeping its unique charm. The guests we met were equally delightful, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere throughout our stay. And don’t even get me started on the food – the buffet was a culinary highlight with fresh, delicious, and diverse options every day. If you’re looking for a perfect family holiday destination, this place remains a top recommendation for us. We’ll definitely be back again!

Our stay at NH Havodda was amazing, and here’s a quick overview: Food The food was outstanding throughout, and the pizza restaurant was a highlight—our Italian friends loved it! While delicious, a few more dining options would enhance the experience. Staff The staff were incredible, especially Anvy, our butler, who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Overwater Villas The villas were stunning—spacious, comfortable, and offering breathtaking views. Natural light enters in the morning, but it wasn’t an issue for us. The Spa The spa was excellent, with professional masseuses delivering truly relaxing treatments. The Island The island is beautiful and tranquil, though for non-divers or snorkelers, there may not be enough activities for more than 3 days. House Reef The house reef was nothing short of spectacular and deserves a perfect 10/10. It’s easily accessible, teeming with vibrant marine life, and a dream for snorkelers of all levels. This was one of the most memorable aspects of our trip. Diving While the snorkeling was exceptional, the diving experience was slightly less impressive. The dive sites nearby weren’t as extraordinary as we had hoped, so we’d rate it a 7/10 overall. That said, the diving instructors and manager, Chad and Joel, were fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, making every dive enjoyable. We did, however, find the diving center’s pricing a bit unclear. Prices for dives didn’t include additional charges, such as the boat fee, which we only discovered upon receiving the final bill. The equipment rental fees were also quite high, so if you’re planning to dive, it’s best to double-check all pricing details upfront to avoid surprises. Overall NH Havodda is an incredible destination with delicious food, luxurious accommodations, and stunning snorkeling opportunities. The staff’s exceptional service adds to the experience, and the house reef is one of the best we’ve seen. While we’re not certain if we’ll return, as we love exploring new destinations, NH Havodda holds a special place in our hearts. It’s easy to see why so many families visit regularly, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene and luxurious Maldivian escape—especially for those who enjoy diving or snorkeling!

Me and my wife had a great honeymoon in this magnificent resort, surrounded by nature and the beautiful colors of this atoll. The NH staff is very kind and helpful ( Mr. Axadh managed promptly some request of us in a very efficient way, Mr. Khalian really captured us with its acrobatic and delicious cocktails at the IRU Bar on the beach), our Dive center’s guide permitted us to watch sharks and sea tourtles during the snorkeling, the the water villa is so comfortable and also strategic to look at the beauties of the coral barrier. I also suggest the lobster at the BBQ on the beach that they organize weekly. We really hope to go back next year! Thank you!! Alessandro and Valentyna
