5-Star Hotels in Kaafu Atoll, Maldives

Villa Nautica was an excellent choice. Only 15 minutes by speed boat from the airport. Lots of activities to choose from and very friendly staff!

We chose the ocean water villa to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The positive side, the resort provided a lovely small cake for the occasion, arranged a photo session with a photographer and the food and drinks were delicious. The resort itself was spotless, and our host (Osama) was excellent, addressing all of our questions and a great guy! Major downside was the lack of privacy; the key reason we booked the ocean water villa was for privacy. Despite the website stating that drones are not allowed, drones were consistently used throughout the resort. One drone came within a few meters of our room and recorded us on the balcony and inside the room, clearly violating our privacy (see pictures, can't upload videos). I called the front desk who said they will let security know & later that day , another drone was hovering near the beach, recording the area again. I spoke to one of the workers, who said they would inform the front desk, but I could see the drone operator from the other side of the venue and resort staff stood nearby without taking any action for breach the rule. The frequent drone usage really compromised the privacy, especially in the premium rooms and was quite loud. I would recommend opting for a more basic room or venue if privacy is important to you. I understand that the resort is beautiful and drone footage captures it wonderfully, but the resort should consider allowing recording only at specific times and in designated areas, under supervision, to ensure privacy is respected and not compromised. That said, aside from the drone issue, the resort is lovely and conveniently close to the airport.

There was an initial problem trying to contact the resort to clarify certain things prior to arriving as emails were not responded to. However after this issue was rectified, upon arrival everything was superb, 5*. The resort is excellent and service is paramount. Food is very good and there are additional activities offered (charged). Well organised transfers from and to the airport and airport assistance was provided which was very good. Staff were friendly and willing to help at all times. Highly recommended.

We went to the resort for our Honeymoon, it was amazing our stay at Coco Bodu Hithi, the island just beautiful and incredibly romantic. We originally booked a Water Villa but upon arrival, we were upgraded to an Escape Water Villa (a lovely surprise). The bed was huge and had the softest sheets imaginable, the view from our bedroom overlooking the ocean was divine, the indoor bathtub was two was amazing and we loved our own private pool. The villa over water is perfect, a few meters snorkeling we found baby sharks, rays, lots of different fishes and turtles. The breakfast is very wide and the service was fabulous, unfortunately in November the weather is not so good, but we had very sunny days. Thanks to all staff for everything. We would recommend this hotel to other families and will definitely stay again when we return to the Maldives.

the island is small but we we see variety of fish ,small shark, Manta Ray, we went snorkeling along the trench, fish groups there! despite the coral are dead, the ocean is beatiful, relatively clean and limpid; people there friendly, service good and efficient, breakfust also delivious and sorts covers a wide range of food; sedfood is seldom; others are very good, also the pizza very tasty. the island is suit for me since it is my first time come to maldives, when we come for annual leave within Christmas and New year days; the hotel arrange us at very calm place, I even saw the captain of an airplane in uniform one day night for 1day stay at my neighbor next door; I like Malahini very much! the lovely people , the seashore view, the sky when at night the twlinking stars so near when you look up. i will be back beatiful Maldives!

It is not worse than the slides and other top hotels. It is recommended to add a 24-hour self-service shopping store. Direct access from Pudong, no need to wait for QR code, 2 minutes to exit customs efficiently, 3 minutes walk to the pier, if you are lucky, you can board the boat and go to the island without waiting, it will be dark at 18:00. The welcome ceremony at the pier was very cordial. I checked in while sitting, and then the butler drove the sightseeing car to introduce the various areas of the island in detail; The water house can go to the sea, and it is very quiet at night; The luxury speedboat is stable and there is high-speed wifi and bicycle commuting throughout the island; The room is disinfected and free of mosquitoes, and the air conditioning is powerful; Bao has a little cough, and there is a clinic that praises it; Motorboats and chartered boats to see dolphins, the service attitude is first-class, and it is comfortable to tip; I have tried several restaurants on the island. If you have a heavy taste, you must bring instant noodles. The butler sent the Chinese menu in advance, and you can eat directly in advance. Don’t panic with poor English; Thanks again to the butler Guizhou Yaomei Cherry Sun for her meticulous service!

Ma Dai did not look at the sea when he returned. Walu Island is a newly opened island, 45 minutes from the airport by speedboat. The island’s food, drink and fun are all-inclusive. There are a wealth of activities, including sunset cruises, sunset fishing, snorkeling twice a day in the morning and afternoon, various non-motorized water activities such as kayaking, and other paid motorized water activities, but these are free Is enough for you to play! Let’s talk about the room types. There are sand houses, pool sand houses, water houses, and pool water houses. I can guarantee that you will be shocked when you enter the house, because it's so ~ great~! The room is large, the facilities are good, and the waiter cleans it very cleanly. The mini bar is replenished twice a day. There are various snacks, chocolates, coffee, tea, and beverages. See the photos for details. It also comes with sunscreen and mosquito-resistant lotion. Finally, let me talk about what I want to eat. The main restaurant has different patterns every day, so you won’t get tired of it every day in the main restaurant. Besides, there are seafood restaurants, Madai restaurant and barbecue restaurant. Every day I go to the main pool bar to drink juice and sunbathe. It's so comfortable! All of this is free! ! !

Obľu Select Sangeli is an unforgettable resort located on a stunning beach. I had a very pleasant and relaxing holiday here. Here is my review of Obľu Select Sangeli. First of all, the service here is impeccable. From the moment I arrived, the hotel staff impressed me with their friendliness and professionalism. They were always ready to help me with any questions and always treated me with a smile and a warm attitude. Whether dining in the restaurant or needing service in the room, they always handle it promptly and attentively. I really felt how caring and attentive they were to their guests. Secondly, the facilities at Obľu Select Sangeli are amazing. The room I stayed in was very spacious, comfortable and full of modern amenities. The room also had a private balcony which gave me a stunning view of the ocean. The hotel's pool and beach area were very pleasant and I spent a lot of time here. There are also multiple restaurants serving a variety of cuisines, whether local specialties or international dishes, which kept me coming back for more. Obľu Select Sangeli also offers a variety of activities and entertainment so I never got bored during my vacation. I participated in their water activities such as snorkeling and sailing excursions and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The hotel also has a luxurious spa where I had a relaxing massage and treatment that left me feeling extremely comfortable and relaxed. Furthermore, the location of Obľu Select Sangeli is ideal.

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Only 25-30 mins journey by speedboat from the airport. Amazing first time in the Maldives. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and clean. Every day there are free activities you can do like sunset yoga, snorkeling etc. Everything about this hotel is perfect. The only thing is the prices for some extra activities like dolphins trip, snorkeling with sharks etc are quite expensive (around 150$ per person). Alcoholic drinks vary from 10-25$ per glass but their bars have happy hours. Dinner buffet is 90$ per person. We tried the room service food, was quite good. In general, I would recommend this hotel to everyone. You won’t regret staying here.

The water house is really good, the room facilities and services are top-notch. There is a piece of glass on the floor inside the room to see the sea below. Each water house has a small pool of infinity, perfect for taking pictures. The sea is also very clear, there are many coral reefs, and there are many fish. You can see a lot from the room, and the snorkeling equipment hotel is free. The beach here seems to be very good, but it is a pity that I only stayed for one night and didn't go. There are two restaurants on the island, one Japanese restaurant needs an appointment, the other western restaurant does not need to make an appointment, and the production is not bad, but it is relatively simple, basically a main course of 20-30 dollars. Reservations are available as early as possible, and other meals can be ordered at the restaurant. Breakfast must be praised, the butler can be sent to the room, sitting on the terrace looking at the beautiful sea, leisurely to eat. There are many stars in the evening, very beautiful. Overall, an island with good value for money, not far from Male, the airport transportation fee of 130 dollars a room is slightly more expensive. The island is relatively small. After walking for 15 minutes, it is recommended to play for 2-3 days. It is boring to live again. The island is beautiful.

Villa Nautica was an excellent choice. Only 15 minutes by speed boat from the airport. Lots of activities to choose from and very friendly staff!
