Budget Hotels in Lhaviyani Atoll

"This review is written for fellow professional and frequent travelers who know what true five-star service looks and feels like. We recently stayed at Dusit Thani Maldives and had an exceptional experience that truly stands out, even among other five-star island resorts. We booked the Over Water Villa with Pool, which we highly recommend for its generous layout, serene privacy, and direct access to the house reef. From the moment we arrived, we were in excellent hands with our butler, Mona (Gulnoza). She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and proactive—anticipating needs before we voiced them and ensuring every detail of our stay was seamless. Dining was a highlight. The Sea Grill restaurant impressed us with both its culinary finesse and hospitality. A special mention to the grill chef whose skills elevated every dish, and to Slyp (Mohamed) for his exceptional service—warm, attentive, and consistently professional. We also had the pleasure of dining at Benjarong, Dusit Thani’s signature Thai restaurant, led by Rungnapa. Her deep knowledge of food and beverage, coupled with an evident passion for genuine hospitality, made each visit memorable. She’s a standout professional in every sense. Lastly, breakfast at The Market was a daily delight. While the variety and freshness of offerings were excellent, what made it even better was the gracious service from Shahina and Ahmed—always welcoming, efficient, and personable."

"A fantastic resort. All the staff are excellent. The food options are fantastic, especially Just Veg. We will return."

"This wasnt just a resort. It was an experience! We went with the over water villa which had a private pool and snorkeling access via a stair case from the patio. We had the all inclusive and they meant just that. Mini bar was also included. If you want to keep the bill fown better go all inclusive. Had to take a sea plane which is seperate round trip and will chrge extra for weight so pack light. There are some exclusions but it will be more than enough. Our stay also included the bike rental to get around but there is a shuttle and a on call buggy service free of charge If you are not into cycling. Its two islands that you can roam and enjoy. We ate at the Uni restaurant which had a beatiful view and great food at a resonable price. The exclusive restaurants are not all inclusive but the alcoholic/ non alcoholic remained all inclusive. And you need reservations unlike the buffet locations. The Buffet have themed nights ever other night. Seafood night was absolutely amazing. The resort is everything and more you see in videos and pictures. Abdullah was our assigned guide that was there to help schedule things and ensure our questions was answered. He as amazing. From the elcome to the departure it exceeded all expectations. We snorkeled everday and saw all kinds of wild life. If you worry about swiming they have life jackets in the room so that you can still enjoy and it is fairly shallow around your bungalow so standing and walking is an option as well. "

"A True Slice of Paradise From the moment you step onto the island, you know you’ve arrived in true paradise. I’ve traveled to many countries and stayed at various hotels and resorts, but I can confidently say this experience sets a new standard — offering a level of luxury and uniqueness that’s truly unforgettable. We were warmly welcomed by our personal concierge, Poula, who went above and beyond to make us feel like royalty. He and his team arranged a stunning private dinner setup and helped us book an incredible professional photographer. We ended up purchasing two albums because we simply couldn’t choose from all the amazing photos. This place gave us the perfect balance of peace and adventure. We originally came to celebrate our anniversary but were gifted a once-in-a-lifetime experience we will never forget. I’ll definitely miss this place and can’t wait to return with my family."

"Excellent in every way possible. I highly recommend."

"Our stay at Siyam World Maldives was nothing short of magical, and we owe a huge part of that to the amazing staff who made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality, but what really stood out was the incredible service we received from our island ambassador Vanessa and the wonderful team at the Together Bar—especially Divya and Rico. Vanessa was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond to ensure that every moment of our stay was smooth, relaxing, and filled with joy. Whether it was organizing activities, making sure our preferences were always taken into account, or just checking in with a warm smile, she made us feel genuinely cared for. Divya and Rico at the Together Bar were equally amazing. Their energy, attentiveness, and positive vibes made every visit a highlight of our day. They took the time to remember our favorite drinks, made great recommendations, and were always up for a friendly chat. It felt like we were hanging out with friends rather than just being served. The beauty of Siyam World speaks for itself—stunning beaches, luxurious villas, and an endless list of things to do—but it’s the people that truly make the experience special. We’re already dreaming of coming back! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a mix of luxury, comfort, and exceptional service in paradise All staff were amazing and polite. Especially Rico, Vanessa and Dyvia. "
