"Where do I start?!?!......
We've just returned from our honeymoon in the Maldives and it was everything we ever dreamt of, AND MORE....
My wife and I unfortunately are not in a position to be regular Maldives visitors, and so for us, this was a potentially once in a lifetime trip to create some incredible memories on our first holiday as Mr & Mrs... And all I can say is "WOW"!!!
This was in no small part thanks to the absolutely incredible time we had at Cora Cora...
From the moment we landed in Male the fantastic airport team were there to great us and whisk us across to the Seaplane check-in and then in to the lounge...
We landed on the Island and were greeted by a small team including our Freedom Coach who gave us an introduction to the island and a buggy tour, before dropping us off at our beach villa where our luggage had been already been dropped off.
Having looked forward to snorkelling for months, ever since we booked the trip, I got straight into my gear and headed for the water, and my God was I blown away!...
The food offered in each of the restaurants was incredible, the beaches were the true Maldivian paradise we'd hoped for and the snorkelling was unbelievable (including blacktip sharks, Emporer Angels, Triggerfish and every different type of Tang just to name a few)...

"We noticed a nice looking hotel online at Kamadhoo island and thought it would be a nice stop for our Maldivian island hopping experience. We booked in for one night at the Swarn by Hawks. It was a beautiful hotel with amazing ocean views. The floor to ceiling glass view of the ocean is quite spectacular. We were upgraded from the Deluxe Sea View to the Executive Suite, which was amazing. We enjoyed it so much we decided to extend our stay a couple extra nights. Our travel plans changed and we ended up extending our stay at the hotel for another week. Ravin (the manager) was very accommodating in every way. The staff went out of their way to make our stay amazing.
We only ate the breakfasts at the hotel and it was a delicious buffet breakfast. We can’t comment on the other meals because we ended up eating out at the local restaurants.
There was construction going on around the hotel and there are deficiencies in the newly built hotel, but they are addressing them and doing renovations as needed. The cost/night reflected this and more than compensated for the issues.
The staff were all very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. As we were leaving one of the workers ran up to us to give us a few items that we accidentally left behind in the room.
Everyone at Swarn by Hawks contributed to make our stay a memorable one. Thanks for everything!!"
