The only thing we truly liked was the island itself. It is a very beautiful and scenic place with amazing nature and views.

    “The water villa is a must at the resort. We absolutely loved the stay, the attention from the staff is exceptional. The facilities options are many. The staff at restaurants, spa, bar, the host who handles your requirements.. everyone around the resort is ever ready to assist. The chefs also pay attention to your requirements and needs. They customise whatever you need.”

    “Our stay at Alila was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The resort is beautifully designed, the villas are stunning, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it the perfect place to unwind. What made our experience even more special was the incredible team. Every member of the staff was genuinely kind, welcoming, and attentive, always greeting us with a smile and making us feel at home. A very special thank you to our host, Syn, for the outstanding hospitality and care throughout our stay. Syn was always available to help, ensured everything ran smoothly, and made our holiday even more memorable. Thank you to the entire Alila team for creating such a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to return!”

  • A serene and restorative stay, defined by exceptional hospitality and true comfort.

    “The breakfast was exceptional, with a perfect menu and flawless execution. Everything was beautifully balanced and suited the palate perfectly. I particularly loved Umami; the dinner menu was thoughtfully curated, and the food was exceptional. The location was peaceful, calm, and exactly the right setting. It was a truly delightful stay, marked by tranquillity, comfort, and exceptional hospitality; the staff were incredible and made us feel not merely welcome, but part of one big family. I left feeling thoroughly rested, refreshed, and restored.”

  • Very disappointing stay overall. The experience did not meet expectations at all and the management handled the situatio

    “Ruined my husband’s birthday, our wedding celebration, and Eid. Extremely disappointing service, no privacy, poor management, and zero accountability. Definitely not the luxury experience we expected.”

    “We stayed at this wonderful hotel with our family in November. It was our very first experience in the Maldives, and I can confidently say it was an absolutely incredible one — truly one of the best vacations of our lives. The hotel provided a unique and unforgettable experience in every aspect: from the warm and welcoming staff to the impeccable cleanliness, delicious food, and outstanding service. Special thanks to our villa butler, Sultan. We are incredibly grateful to him for his constant support and care throughout our stay. We were traveling with our five-month-old baby, and he managed everything flawlessly, taking care of every detail and making our vacation completely stress-free. We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. This vacation was absolutely worth it in every sense. We wish the hotel continued success and prosperity and would be happy to return again.”

    “It’s true that we had a good time and the people were really nice, but there were still several negative points: the appointments were not well organized, the dinner didn’t live up to a 5-star standard, and the the bathtub doesn’t fill up for villa 224… quite a disappointment for a hotel of this level.”

  • Wundervoller Aufenthalt.
