5-Star Hotels in Baa Atoll, Maldives

On Maldives we come for the third time, the Royal Island Resort was the first time and remained very satisfied! The transfer to the island was a hydroplane and a boat (thank you for the hotel that didn't have to wait until lunch of the inner flight). Back by boat and plane by internal flight. The transfer backward was free, for which also a separate thank you. We arrived at the hotel at 8 a.m., we were settled immediately. We took the Villa sunset, and our house was super successful - far from the pier (in those closer to the pier - it is not very convenient to swim and there is no reef) and close to the beautiful reef. ”The food is very tasty and a great variety, every day for lunch and dinner there were necessarily seafood dishes, fruits, crazy desserts, ice cream, all in abundance. ”The staff is friendly, our waiter at the restaurant brought drinks by the moment we had already got the meals - come to the table, and the water is already poured into glasses and a teapot on the table. Host Mark also liked it very much, everything told, showed. The chief manager at Ali restaurant constantly approached asking how we were eating, whether everything likes. - Cleaning every day , replacing towels every day, including beaches. We have a lot of where we have visited and what have seen, and in our opinion it is a very worthy resort, with excellent price/quality ratio - recommended !!!

We’ve travelled to many places around the world and stayed in countless hotels and resorts — some even more expensive than this — but Vakkaru is truly the BEST experience we’ve ever had. Baa Atoll is already one of the world’s most pristine ecological reserves, and the resort’s blue holes and sandbanks are simply addictive. We could visit them several times a day and still never get enough. At any moment, you’ll find different kinds of fish swimming freely around you. Beyond the beauty and the facilities, what truly makes Vakkaru unforgettable is the people. Our butler Myat, the sommelier, and our roomboy Mohamond all went above and beyond, offering the warmest, most thoughtful care throughout our stay. Their kindness made all the difference. It’s really hard for us to leave. We will definitely be back — and without a doubt, we’ll choose Vakkaru again.

An absolutely amazing resort with the most helpful people and beautiful facilities. I loved my stay there. The only downside was that you had to pay huge prices for everything. The resort price alone is really expensive, and they should add some of the water sports to that expense. Not everyone wants or can afford) the all inclusive, so a few of the water sports should be included for everyone. Kayaks, paddle boards etc. should be “free” for every guest.  I really can’t complain about anything else, it was beautiful and peaceful, and it is a great resort to go to! They also communicated with the sea planes and made it super easy to get to and from the airport to the island. Thank you!

We stayed at Water Villa with Pool for 7 nights in February 2023. ＜ Snorkeling ＞ Close to the room to drop-off, snorkeling is the best. Be careful not to catch corals as the front is quite shallow. There were many kinds and quantities of fish, and I could see turtles every day. If you don't chase, you will swim nearby. According to the staff, I have seen the best ５ at once. It is said that the snorkeling between water sports jetty and Benjarong is the most. The life jacket provided in the room was easy to use. I entered the sea from my room every morning, but there was a flow depending on the day and it was difficult to reverse, so I went up from the sandy beach near Benjarong while being washed away by Xu 々 I went back to my room. The water villa on the 501-510 side is the best for snorkeling, but the sound of the waves hitting the shore was quite loud, and it was a little negative that I could hear all the time in the room. ＜ Yoga ＞ There were several free yoga lessons every day (reservation required) The teacher was a young Thai woman teacher and was quite authentic. The participants range from the first to the veteran 々 and up to 6 to 8 people. There were various venues such as indoors and outdoors along the sea. Matt also Manduka For reference, the schedule for February 2023 was as follows. (Month) 7:30-8:30 Sunrise Yoga 10:30-11:30 Yin Yoga 17:00-18:00 Gentle Yoga (Fire) 7:30-8:30 Yoga Stretching 10:30-11:30 Relief & Relaxing Yoga 15:00-16:00 Gentle Yoga 17:00-18:00 Yoga & Breath exercise (Water) 7:30-8:30 Hatha Yoga 10:30-11:30 Yoga Stretching 17:00-18:00 Vinayasa Yoga There were 4 to 5 free activities every day, and there were a lot of things such as Soundbath meditation /Nature walk /Easy Island Run / Thai massage lessons. ＜ Customer layer ＞ Traveling from China has not yet resumed in a big 々, so there weren't many Chinese. Most Asians are young Korean couples (a little bad manners), and Japanese are not yet there after Corona. Many Europeans came as families, and many Europeans were in terms of number, but it seems that there are usually many Asians (China and South Korea). ＜ Food ＞ I made it all-inclusive. Drinks in the room (soft drinks, beer, tea, coffee, etc.) are included, but some alcohol in the room and restaurant are charged. If you had lunch on the first day, the lunch on the last day was an extra charge (butler explains). The food was delicious at every restaurant. ＜ Room ＞ Water circulation (washroom ２ or place) The amount and temperature of the shower was perfect. You can also store hot water immediately in the bathtub. The water leaked on the floor on the first day, but I was able to fix it immediately. Bed wanted a twin, but was told not to be a prior request, but when I went to the room, it was made into a Hollywood twin. The bicycle installed in the room was convenient (no brakes, type that stops the pedal with a reverse saw, there is a bar in the middle like for men, so the tight skirt may be tighter ... You can ride on a dress i'm sorry. The private pool in the room is seawater. On the last day, I wanted a boat ＋ domestic flight from the resort on a plane from Male at 23:40, so there was a guide the day before and I was able to use the room until 18:00 when I checked out 19:00 resort departure.

Highly recommended! All the hotel's facilities are new, the beach is A-grade, the snorkeling is A-grade, and the service is top-notch. All the restaurants on the island are very delicious. It is recommended to include breakfast and dinner because the dishes are so large. When we were on the island, the only Chinese-speaking housekeeper was on vacation. Our housekeeper was Nathu, a very beautiful, cute and capable girl, and all the waiters on the island worked hard to interact with us in Chinese, which was a good experience. There is a professional snorkeling instructor who is very enthusiastic about explaining which types of fish can be seen in which areas. We stayed for 5 nights and snorkeled 3 times. We saw babyshake, rays, swordfish and many colorful small fish. . It is recommended to participate in the sunset fishing activity. I caught a lot of fish in 2 hours and the experience was great. This is a resort worth experiencing. Compared with islands of the same quality, the price of Avani is obviously much cheaper and the price-performance ratio is very high. highly recommended!

Had a great holiday at the beautiful Westin. The 45-minute flight distance from Male Airport is just right, and the hotel's pick-up and drop-off services are very attentive. Our order included breakfast and dinner, and one of the dinners could be reserved at the Japanese restaurant. The buffet has a rich variety and you can taste food from different countries. Due to the strong wind and waves during this period, unfortunately we were unable to participate in sea activities such as paddle boarding, but the coaches held a fierce volleyball match in the swimming pool. You can see some corals 🪸 and tropical fish 🐠 while snorkeling. The room facilities are impeccable. The most impressive thing is the enthusiasm of the staff. Whether it is the welcome and farewell queue at the pier, the chat in the restaurant, or the greetings when we meet on the road, it makes you feel as if you are in a familiar community and feel more relaxed and comfortable. If there is a chance in the future, I will come again!

We chose this hotel, the price/performance ratio is really good. After the trip, some people arranged for pick-up and drop-off, arranged for the inland plane and speedboat to arrive at the resort. After arriving at the fake village, the service staff sent a welcome to each person. We originally booked 5 I lived in a luxury villa in the evening. Fortunately, I can live in the water villa on the 4th night. The two villas have their own characteristics. The luxury villas can see the sunset, the water villas can see the sunrise, and everything is well arranged. The beach has white sand and the water is very blue. We cleaned the room twice a day. We booked a full breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was also served in the same main restaurant. The waiter was very polite. Every night there are different dishes and facilities. Enough, in addition to drinking water, only one bottle is supplied per room per day. The water in the hose is only filtered once and the salt is not completely filtered. Therefore, it is not suitable for drinking. To drink extra water, you should buy it at the restaurant or bar.

A great trip, it hasn't rained for the past four days, the island is beautiful and the temperature is very comfortable. Shuifei sees the island is also very beautiful, that is, when you go, you can't catch up with the water. You have to turn to the inland water and transport the children with a little toss, and everything else is very good. There are many things to eat on the island. The fruits are very fresh. The next day I went to the sea to see dolphins. A group of people went to the sea to fish in the evening of the third day. It was also full of harvest, so they could be processed and sent directly to the hotel. For a big meal, you can have an extra bed, a bed for children under 11 years old. The hotel must specify the information of each traveler, age of men and women, help them arrange check-in information, make an appointment for water flight in advance.

Shuifei arrives at the hotel in 30 minutes. The service is not bad. There are many types of breakfast and dinner, mainly Western style. Dinner is almost no seafood. There are grilled steak, grilled lamb chops and grilled shrimps. The hotel is really big and the tail beach is also very good Beautiful, the restaurant on the trailing beach only has lunch, there is basically nothing to eat, the taste is not suitable for Chinese people,

The scenery didn't have to be said, but from the evening, there were a lot of huge cockroaches indoors and outdoors. It was very affecting the experience. On the day of the departure, the hotel made a mistake in my trip, which caused me to wake up at 5:30 in the morning and told me that I had to leave the store after 20 minutes. They put the notice of leaving the store at an inconspicuous place at the door. I didn't see the information that I personally think is important. It is best to ensure that I can do it if I can do it. My best day experience will not be destroyed.
