Ayada Maldives: The Most Comprehensive Guide!
Ayada Maldives: The Island of Hexagonal All-rounder that Makes Me Forget My Worries. The Most Comprehensive Guide!
💰[Package Options]
Half Board (HB) and All Inclusive (PAI) are available. We recommend the all-inclusive package for a worry-free experience:
PAI All Inclusive: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, unlimited drinks at Zero Bar, and one sunset cruise.
You can upgrade to the 520 package (USD 520 + 16% tax + 10% service charge) after arriving at the hotel. The package includes one spa treatment for two, one dolphin and shark watching tour for two, one floating breakfast, and one beach BBQ for two. We recommend this package for its great value!
Honeymoon couples will receive the following complimentary services: one in-room breakfast, a welcome drink, one honeymoon dinner, and one rose bubble bath.
✈️[Transportation] Direct flight + domestic flight + speedboat:
Direct flight: Shanghai to Malé. The latest direct flight Q2397 by Maldivian Airlines will be launched in January 2025. The flight departs at 00:10 and arrives at 06:30 (Maldives time, 3 hours behind China, flight time is about 8.5 hours). The biggest advantage of this flight is that you can go directly to the island on the same day without staying on a local island for one night.
Domestic flight + speedboat: After arriving at Malé, find counter D2 and follow the Ayada staff to the lounge to wait for the domestic flight. The flights are at 07:20, 10:50, and 12:00. The earlier, the better.
🏖️[Room Number] Beach Villa + Water Villa (2 Beach Villas with Pool + 3 Water Villas with Pool)
Beach Villa 315: Almost the only beach villa with a pool and a view of the beach (photo 15). Beach villa numbers to avoid: 201-204, 222-223, 230-232, as the views are average.
Water Villa 529: Close to the channel (snorkeling + lagoon). Recommended room numbers: 510-520 (520 requires an additional USD 500 + tax/service charge, 528-533). Room numbers to avoid: 501-503 (close to the pier); 601-603 (close to the restaurant).
👩💼[Butler + Tips]
The butlers are nice, but during peak season, one butler is responsible for about 10 rooms, so they may be busy. Tips: USD 1-3 for cleaning, USD 20-30 for the butler, and others are optional.
🍴[Dining]
Breakfast and dinner are served at Magu Restaurant, with a good variety. Breakfast is average, but the Florentine eggs are delicious. Dinner is great!
Lunch is served at Ocean Breeze, a restaurant with a great view (photos 1/2) and many nurse sharks under the restaurant.
Unlimited lobster BBQ is available on the beach every Tuesday, which is delicious (USD 199 per person, we recommend upgrading to the 520 package for better value). The fireworks show is amazing!
🏃Next time, we will talk about other activities (snorkeling, scuba diving, cruises, and equipment rental).
