5-Star Hotels in Kaafu Atoll, Maldives

Our time at Villa Nautica Paradise Island was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, the stunning views and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for an incredible getaway. The inclusive package offered a wide array of activities that kept us entertained throughout our stay. We eagerly participated in everything from water sports to the lively Adult Canoe Race, where the spirit of friendly competition made it all the more exhilarating. Another standout activity was the Outdoor Gym Challenge, which added a fun and adventurous twist to staying active while soaking up the beautiful surroundings. The staff at Villa Nautica truly went above and beyond to make our experience special. They were not only friendly and approachable but also incredibly knowledgeable about the island. They recommended charming little spots to explore, which helped us uncover some hidden gems that added a personalized touch to our trip. The culinary experience was another highlight. The food was delicious, offering a variety of options that catered to different tastes and dietary preferences. Every meal felt like a treat, whether it was a hearty breakfast to start the day or a delightful dinner. Overall, our stay at Villa Nautica Paradise Island was everything we hoped for and more. It’s a place where relaxation, adventure, and exceptional service come together seamlessly. We left with beautiful memories. If you’re looking for the perfect island retreat, this is it!

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.

Simply magnificent! My wife and I are on a tour around the world (as a continuation of our honeymoon) - we have seen many five-star hotels in different countries, but this is a completely new level of hospitality. My wife and I thank the Sheraton Maldives team with all our hearts for the best vacation. From the very beginning of the trip to the very end, they accompanied us as if we were part of their family. About the hotel itself: - the rooms are good, high-quality, very well preserved. There is a huge TV in the room. - the hotel grounds are beautiful, you want to take a photo of every step and post it on Instagram. - the breakfasts are divine: respect to chef Max. - the staff always say hello, which is nice. - the room is cleaned twice a day. - several beaches, they clean them. - there are two gardens. - 30 minutes of kayaking are included free of charge and you can take masks and tubes for snorkeling. Truly perfect. We will come back again and again. Sincerely, Roman and Milena

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!

I am very satisfied. The hotel's facilities are complete and every detail is in place. The service staff are very friendly but not overly serviceable. The scenery and environment are great. I especially like the semi-outdoor design of the sand house bathing house, which integrates the sky and the floor with nature.

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! ! !

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.

From start to finish our experience at the Oblu Sangeli was incredible. It was our first time visiting the Maldives and it was everything we could have wished for and more. We stayed in the water villa and it did not disappoint. The room was beautiful and the access to the lagoon was amazing. It was great for snorkelling and had plenty of corals where we saw baby sharks, manta rays and lots of colourful fish! We embarked on the turtle snorkelling trip and saw many turtles which was wonderful! The buffet was great and we appreciated that they changed the dishes every day so you had a variety to choose from. A huge thanks to Chef Rahul who not only made excellent Indian food for us, but also became a good friend and was always so kind to us. Another big thanks to the waiter, Yathrib, who was so friendly and attentive to us and gave excellent service. This really made our experience even better. We also really enjoyed the fine dining experiences included in the Serenity plan. Both restaurants (just grill & just wok) served delicious food and a nice view of the sunset. A highlight for us was the pool as it was right next to the ocean and the view was incredible. We loved the slide leading into the ocean, that was a vey unique touch for the hotel and lots of fun at the pool party too and recommend you throw a pool party a couple times a week as it was great! We really enjoyed the live entertainment in the evenings and especially loved listening to Dee & Jay singing so beautifully! A highlight for us was definitely the excellent service from the staff. From the first day we could see that they were genuinely nice people and took pride in their job. A special shout out to the Sangs bar staff who were always kind and friendly to us. They made our experience better by just being genuinely nice people and their service was excellent! A big thanks to Pradeep and Lahiru who lead the team and always greeted us with a smile and made us feel at home. A huge thanks to Ibrahim and Madheeh who made us laugh everyday and gave brilliant service. You made our experience even better by just meeting you all. We will definitely return to the hotel in the future as it was the best holiday we've ever had! The Maldives is really paradise on earth! Don't think twice about booking to stay at this hotel because it's perfect!
