We stayed in Bungalow 727 in Dream Island, that is really great place to stay with a family of 3. The small pool and direct access to the lagoon for snorkeling make them the best spot in the island. The room was always kept very cleaned and fresh. Our focal point CJ did attend all our needs and we need to thank him for the readiness and support. All staff in the island is very friendly and ready to help, what was marvelous. The staff work hard to maintain beaches and islands tidy. Sailing with the ''house'' sailor was fantastic. The vegetation is luxuriant and provide sufficient shade while walking around. If Snorkeling is a passion once you arrive in the island, head directly to the Diving center peer and start your snorkeling around the reef. Don't forget to bring your fins and your snorkeling mask with you. Bring short fins and avoid touching the corals....many destroyed but we also saw some recovering what was very good to see. Turtles, Nurse Sharks, Lobster, Sting rays and so many other sea creatures. All vehicles are electric.
Located within Emboodhoo Lagoon, Hard Rock Hotel Maldives is only a 15-minute speedboat ride away from the airport.

Everything is outstanding. We liked the location near Male airport. Also, all the staff working there is amazing while special thanks to both (Sukaina & Pathum) who helped us even beyond to recommend restaurants and other tips to enhance our stay experience. Highly recommended for families

This is not 5 stars Hotel , the standards, facilities , service , amenities are below average..
If an island paradise of chic simplicity in a charming adults-only tropical setting is what you need, the white sand and azure waters of Anantara Veli Resort will provide the perfect setting.

We loved everything about this hotel. Paradise island with white sand and turquoise water. Excellent staff who were professional and dedicated to making our stay perfect. Excellent choice of restaurants. The room was a very good size and beautifully decorated. We loved there were many excursions and activities offered too at this resort. We dived and got involved in coral planting. The resort was perfect !!

The beach bungalows were incredible. The way the room opened up to the beach was an absolute dream. They were clean and bright, and just had a very happy and calm vibe. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was amazing. The food was very good, with lots of options, buffet style. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For anyone considering it, ask for one of the rooms starting with a 7 - like, 74-78. We thought they were the best ones.
Anantara Dhigu Resort is surrounded by soft, white sand beach on Dhigufinolhu Island in the Maldives’ South Malé Atoll, a 35 minutes speedboat journey from the island nation’s international airport.

the Island is small you can circle it in 15 min, water was beautiful and also the fishes under whater, i newer saw so many,this is positive. Rooms need renewal , light switches for example are in strange positions, also the toilet and the paperholder was uncomfortable, you don't have bedside tables:), they clean the rooms 2 times a day though(less the 2 last days when they always came late so we were in the room and let it go) meals are ok lots of local cuisine but good.

Both family and couple orientated the place is just fantastic, despite some hiccups the overall is very good . Is very peaceful and the island(s) quite big so not easy to get bored. Sea life is vibrating and staff excellent. Many activities to do . Try stay in bungalows with pool. This will raise the quality a noch, that will definitively make your stay more pleasant.

So, let me tell you about our recent getaway to South Male Atoll - it was like stepping into a postcard. From the second we landed, it was all about those island vibes and clear blue waters.
Our digs were top-notch, I'm talking overwater villas and cozy beachfront bungalows with views that made us never want to leave. And don't even get me started on the snorkeling and diving - we swam with manta rays and checked out some seriously cool coral reefs.
But it wasn't just about the underwater action. On land, we had spa days, tried all the water sports, and chowed some seriously fresh seafood. And let's not forget about the locals—they were so welcoming and friendly that it felt like we'd known them for years.
Long story short, South Male Atoll is the ultimate chill spot. Whether you're into relaxation or adventure, there's something here for everyone. We left feeling totally refreshed and already planning our next trip back.

Very well organised - you are taken care of as soon as you arrive until the security at the airport. You don’t lift a finger, luggage is collected/delivered. Transfer by boat was very efficient - excellent service

The place is amazing, the watter and everything you seen in the photos and videos is exactly the same or even more beautiful.
Thake care about the UV solar power, on our stay was maximum on the scale and a 50 spf is highly recommended as with 30 spf you will get burned and believe me is happening so fast 🤦🏻♂️
The temperature is quite constant and even during the night is very hot.
Seaplane transfer can be quite expensive.
Definitely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime!

The water bungalow experience was fabulous; stepping down the bungalow steps straight into the sea and the reef area for snorkelling was amazing. There was so much underwater life to see.
Although the bungalows were a little tired and the bed was not the comfiest, we loved the experience. As they are semi detached, pray you don’t get a noisy couple next door!
The sunsets were stunning.

The Vellasaru experience starts from the point you come out of the airport to the point you hand your bags at the airline counter. It was amazing throughout.
The staff at the resort were extremely friendly. Breakfast was great. Room was spacious and clean. The island was really well maintained. And honestly we could not ask for more. Views were amazing, marine life was decent and plenty of activities to keep you busy for 5 days. My little one did not want to leave the island and wanted to buy a house in the Maldives 😀
Water villa was very nice, someone available to clean morning and evening which is helpful when you have kids, saii app was very good and reception responsive and buggy arrived within 10 minutes of requesting. Food was decent and could use facilities at hard rock hotel too although sai lagoon facilities were nicer. In addition, kids club had a variety of activities and had to book in advance. Hannan at reception was very helpful and transfer to the resort was quick and someone at airport to collect and transfer
We loved the place!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling to the Maldives. We have been to a few other resorts in the Maldives but this one is really special from the moment you arrive at the airport and threw all our stay. People are just so nice and attentive and they know about your needs even before you. Don't let me start about their restaurants, apart from the main one, the M6M (underwater restaurant) and the Traditions Indoceylon really swept us off our feet.
The view from the room was fantastic - especially the Grand Water Villa. Our host Cora was outstanding. She was available for whatever we needed and was able to give me suitable and precise answers to any question I had, whenever I asked within a reasonable timeframe. I loved this concept of being connect with them via WhatsApp and I applaud the hotel for using technology for taking guest service to the next level.

it was the perfect family getaway destination! the staff were all courteous and friendly. it being connected to another island which happen to have another resort that’s accessible to both the resorts guests is a plus factor. buggy service and bicycles are available, there are variety of restaurants around the islands, loads of activities for the entire family is offered from morning till midnight!
The size of the hotel is great, you can spend every day in a different part experiencing the stunning views. Choice of restaurants and food quality was a great standard. Hotel entertainment was enjoyable, there are enough areas to escape if you feel you need to. Bikes for each room was a great addition meaning it was easy to explore the resort.
Water bungalow was very comfortable, beautiful ocean view. enjoy sunrise and sundown from the balcony.
staff super friendly and helpful. good food. nice complimentary breakfast in the room. ocean view from the bathroom.
hotel staff went out of their way making a super fun new year’s eve party. everything very neat and clean.
The Island and Reef are just amazing to do snorkel. The ambiance is calm and slowlife. The hotel is not luxurious but everything you need, maintaining the essence of the island and nature, which is amazing. The food buffet has a lot of variety and every day the theme changes, amazing grill and pasta.
Excellent experience at the Hard Rock Maldives. Special thanks to the hotel team, the guys from the pool bar (Hassa, Dinesh, Ronga, Iyaad, and all the others). The brazilian team was great too (Leo, Leandro, Amanda, DJ Carol and the others). Hope to come back someday.
It was the best hotel experience in my life.
The staff and the attention is a 10 ( a one dedicated person for you the 24 hours). You will be feel like a King.
