What Travelers Are Saying: Milaidhoo Maldives

These reviews highlight the exceptional service, luxurious accommodations, and unforgettable experiences that guests have enjoyed at Milaidhoo Maldives.

Guest Highlights:

“We just spent five days at the Milaidhoo Resort and had a wonderful time. We had been in Milaidhoo already in 2018 and it was just as perfect as the first time. To us it felt like an unparalleled escape into luxury and tranquility. From the breathtaking ocean views to the impeccable service, every detail is meticulously crafted to create an unforgettable experience. We stayed in a water villa, which was spacious and had a wonderful and sophisticated decoration. We loved the water villa, as we come to the Maldives because of the water. The villa had beautiful sunset views! We found the restaurants are world-class (and we do not know of any hotel in the world that would have such a fantastic breakfast buffet!). A big thank you to Nazeer, Alfie and the entire restaurant team. We deeply enjoyed relaxing on the pristine beaches and swimming in the turquoise waters between the sandbanks. We did many snorkeling trips a few scuba diving trips and saw sharks, turtles, rays and a lot of other wonderful marine life. Zaeem, our diving guide, was an excellent instructor and made our dives truly memorable. Milhaidoo Resort surpassed all our expectations! It’s truly a slice of paradise. The Manager and his team are so gentle and kind, helpful and friendly. You feel truthfully welcome here in this paradise! We will definitely come back and can highly recommend this resort. It could not be any better. A special thanks to Akoo, who was always there to fulfill any of our strange wishes (such as finding sugarfree chewing gum somewhere in the Maldives and getting it to Milhaidoo…). Thank you so much to all of the „Milhaidoos“ for making our holiday unforgettable!”

“We were celebrating a belated 50th wedding anniversary and it was the best anniversary we have ever had! Everyone at Milaidhoo treated us like royalty. We felt that they really cared about us. Murey arranged a very special dinner for us, we had champagne and a bubble bath one evening after dinner, an anniversary cake and more champagne, and a private breakfast on our terrace and more champagne! The Seafood Market was so amazing that we did it twice. Every single meal that we had was excellent. We would especially like to thank Ahmed (our butler), Murey, Nadeem, Shippe, and Qassan. We had a beautiful beach front villa and WOW. All we had to do was walk out our villa and we were snorkeling on the amazing house reef.”
