Ayada Maldives Reviews

Amazing place, special regards to mr zeeshan battler the best ever i had seen,

Ayada is a far place that requires a domestic flight and then a boat ride, so it's a bit tiring. However, if you enjoy snorkeling, you'll feel like you've been rewarded for the long journey by experiencing the amazing ocean. The clean and comfortable accommodations and the restaurant with air-conditioned rooms were also nice.

The overall experience was very comfortable. In general, except for the long waiting time at the end of the island departure, there was nothing to complain about. I sincerely suggest that the hotel can let customers check out 1-2 hours before leaving the island. I was tired after waiting in the lounge for 3 or 4 hours.

The beach villas are amazing Special praise to my butler~ Chinese little brother very good

There is a very organized team, quality service, But we recommend you to stay for a maximum of 5 nights, don't expect an activity, life ends as of 21:00 at night.. Gökhan and Burak are the most relevant staff.

Our 7 days here were simply wonderful. Ayada is blessed with an idyllic location, a thoughtfully considered facility design, outstanding villas, excellent food and most of all, a wonderful team that takes care of you throughout your stay. Particular shoutouts here to our butler Abdulla, our housekeeper Lathith, bartender Ada, the food service manager AK, and the resort manager Craig, but also the rest of the staff here, including the food service and spa staff we interacted with daily. Ayada is not the easiest place to reach. From Male, it is a 1+ hour flight, then a 50 minute boat trip. The effort is well worth it, for the isolation, the quality of experience, and the service. We stayed in a sunrise overwater villa, generously sized, with a plunge pool and direct sea access. Excellent design and well maintained. The snorkeling directly off our villa was the best I have ever experienced (we have snorkeled in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii.). Just 80 yards off the villas is a deep sea drop, and the reef is beautiful. Food choices are abundant for dinner, breakfast buffet is outstanding. Lunch is limited but the choices are still good. Over 7 days we repeated nothing for lunch of dinner. Bar choices include a number of excellent house cocktails, and the bartenders can make anything. We chose an inclusive package with alcohol, so we did not consider costs here. Our package included all meals except one special beach buffet (including a teppanyaki dinner at the beach), drinks, daily laundry, a couples massage, and more (Diamond package). I think we found good value from this package. Lower priced choices are possible, beware the a la carte costs can be high. This was our first trip to the Maldives, and it was excellent, thanks to the Ayada team. I’m not sure why we would stay anywhere else when we return.

This truly was a holiday of a lifetime. Ayada island is beyond beautiful, surrounded by reefs full of fish and even little sharks (which you can swim with). The waters are soo clear and the beach is super clean - as is the rest of the island! The staff at this resort are just unbelievable - they couldn’t do more for you! They really do go above and beyond to make each guest feel welcome and happy! They are super friendly and completely genuine which is soo nice… it was this exceptional service and friendliness from the staff that made my trip. They are super attentive, meeting you from the airport and helping you completely on your journey to Ayada, being the kindest most helpful people during your stay and checking you are okay all the way until you check into your flight home at Male. Thank you soo much to the staff for making my solo travels stress free! The manager of Ayada also goes out of his way to chat to all guests asking about their day etc, which is really nice. The island is full of super fun activities! I rented a glass kayak, attended the beach bbq and fireshow (which is a MUST!) and also went on the evening sunset cruise - the boat wasn’t as luxury as I expected it to be in this, but again the staff are just soo good! They even helped me film some nurse sharks we saw and took some fabulous photos for me! Other than this I spent my days snorkelling which is something you also must do here! I stayed in the garden villa which was pleasant and very clean but was a bit depressing after seeing the beautiful beach and water villas - wished I booked one of these instead! (Another reason to return I guess!) I had an all inclusive package and was really impressed by the quality of food (buffet food is not usually too great, but this was actually good!), lunch at zero degrees is amazing, as are the drinks - cocktails are 10/10! :) If you are considering booking this island, just do it, I promise you, you will have no regrets! Loved this island soo much, thank you Ayada for the lovely memories! Taylor

Ayada has the most beautiful ocean view I’ve ever seen. Thanks to our butler Mr Shahin, who has been very thoughtful during our stay and arranged very good villa position both beach and ocean for us, we were able to enjoy every moment of Ayada without worrying about missing anything interesting . Love the view, the ayspa, the carnival, the snorkeling and everything on this island. We begin to plan our next visit already!

This trip to Ayada was perfect! I was immediately attracted by the stunning sea view upon arrival. The rooms are well - equipped and the environment is quiet. Special praise goes to Monica. She provided attentive service throughout, arranging activities, recommending local cuisine, and always responding promptly. It was a worry - free and wonderful experience. I'll come back!

Wonderful scenery！Beautiful sea！Perfect service！We enjoy the vacation in ayada very much！It is the most beautiful island we have ever been.We will recommend the island to our friends!We will remember the days in ayada！Thanks your service ！

Ayada Maldives review If you are debating whether to choose Ayada over the other 100+ hotels in the Maldives … don’t. We have just had the most amazing 10 days there, everything is outstanding, staff, food and excursions house reef snorkelling with the team is a must. The weather is unpredictable but only as much as the Caribbean or any other tropical destination, the number of activities mean there is always something to do or if all you want to do is relax it is all there for you. We have been lucky to visit many 5* resorts and this is right up there at number one.. if you are a foodie chef Pathi and the restaurant staff will take care of anything you wish for, our butler made the stay care free, the dive kingdom team make you feel safe if you are a little nervous as we were.. all in all the best.. we will be back.

Our stay at Ayada Maldives was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and care, and the experience only got better from there. We stayed in an overwater villa, and it was absolutely breathtaking—waking up to the sound of the ocean and having the turquoise water right at our doorstep felt like living in a dream. The villa was luxurious, comfortable, and beautifully designed, making it the perfect place to relax and take in the stunning surroundings. A huge highlight of our trip was our incredible butler, Zee. Zee went above and beyond to make our stay truly unforgettable. His attention to detail, kindness, and ability to anticipate our every need made us feel so special. He’s such an amazing person, and we’re so grateful for everything he did to make our experience exceptional. The entire staff at Ayada was phenomenal. Everyone we met was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our stay perfect. They truly made us feel like family, and their hospitality left a lasting impression on us. We opted for the Crystal Package and Ayada Experience Package, and they were both absolutely worth it! From the BBQ dinner on the beach under the stars to the floating breakfast in our villa’s private pool, every detail was so thoughtfully planned. The massage and full-body treatment were the ultimate indulgence, leaving us completely relaxed and rejuvenated. And the food—oh, the food! Every meal was heavenly, with so many incredible options to choose from. Whether we were dining by the water or enjoying a casual snack, the flavors and presentation were consistently outstanding. Ayada Maldives is a slice of paradise, and we cannot recommend it enough. It’s not just the beauty of the resort, but the people and experiences that made our stay truly unforgettable. We’re already dreaming about coming back one day. Thank you, Ayada, for giving us memories we will cherish forever!

We visited Ayada on our honeymoon trip. The downside is that it's far from the airport, but other than this, everything was perfect. The scenery, excursions, food, room, service, and staff are all perfect. Highly recommended! I definitely want to come back. :)

Everything was perfect ! We spent 10 days in Ayana in a luxury ocean villa with a perfect view and a private pool. The quality of the Villa was amazing and housekeeping was very meticulous as well. Also we eould like to thank the man in charge of the mini bar who was very caring with our habits. The food was delicious, the Magu restaurant even provided gluten-free delicious options for me on breakfast lunch and diner time. The water activity were really nice playing times and we even had a chance to see a big shark. We would like to give a special thank you for the chef Wahyu with who we spent an amazing evening at the Mizu restaurant and was in charge of our breakfast at the Magu. Also a special thank you for our butler Hadi who was very caring and professional for everything. And finally, we would like to add a special thank you for Samah for his smile and kindness and professionalism at the Zero degree bar. To end the transferts and flights were perfectly managed.
