Independent, South Male Atoll hotels

"This was our first trip to the Maldives, and we absolutely loved every moment of it! We visited to celebrate our daughter’s 18th birthday, and staying at OBLU Xperience Ailafushi turned out to be the perfect choice. The resort is just a short 15-minute speedboat ride from the airport, which made getting there quick and easy. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the resort itself is very family-oriented, with plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy. The overwater gym was a highlight — there’s nothing quite like working out while watching a stunning Maldivian sunset. There was also a great variety of food options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — something for every taste. The ocean water around the island was crystal clear, calm, and perfect for snorkeling or swimming alongside the colourful fish. We loved every single day we spent there and would definitely recommend OBLU Xperience Ailafushi to anyone planning a Maldives getaway!"

"I recently stayed at Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives to celebrate my birthday, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcomed, valued, and celebrated in such a personal way. Traveling solo as a woman, safety and comfort are always my top priorities—and I can honestly say I felt completely at ease throughout my stay. The support staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail of my trip was special. On my birthday, the team, including the chef, truly exceeded my expectations. Not only was the food outstanding—beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor—but the care and thought they put into personal touches made me feel so appreciated. Every meal felt like it had been crafted with passion and pride, and the variety and quality were remarkable. One of the absolute highlights of my trip was my dolphin excursion with Captain Heavy Hands. His expertise and professionalism were evident from the start, and his warm personality made the experience even more enjoyable. Spotting dolphins so close to the boat was an unforgettable birthday gift in itself, and I felt completely safe in his hands the entire time. It was clear he loves what he does, and his energy made the outing so special. Overall, Centara Ras Fushi delivered everything I hoped for and more. The combination of stunning scenery, world-class food, and staff who genuinely care about their guests made this trip extraordinary."
