It’s taken us a little while to write this review, as not long after we returned from the Outrigger Maldives, we welcomed our new son into the world. What a perfect way to spend our last holiday as a two! Reflecting on our stay, we are filled with gratitude and wonderful memories of an experience that was nothing short of extraordinary. We have been fortunate to stay at various resorts across the Maldives over the years, but this by far is the most incredible location we’ve ever visited. The combination of breathtaking beauty, exceptional service, and heartfelt hospitality makes Outrigger Maldives a standout destination, and we feel so lucky to have experienced it. From the moment we stepped onto the island, we felt not only the warmth of the Maldives weather but also the genuine warmth and welcome from every staff member we met. It truly felt like we had joined the Outrigger family, and it was a privilege to experience world-class hospitality from such dedicated and passionate people. Ian thoroughly enjoyed his time spent diving with the incredible dive team on the island. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine passion for the underwater world created unforgettable experiences for him. Every dive was carefully planned and carried out, offering breathtaking views of vibrant marine life and stunning coral reefs. The team’s enthusiasm and expertise truly made Ian’s time exploring the ocean a highlight of the holiday. It was inspiring to see just how much attention and care the team at Outrigger paid to the care and health of the waters and coral around them. A particular highlight for both of us was the incredible culinary experience led by Chris and Chinthaka. Every meal was an absolute delight, showcasing a level of thoughtfulness and creativity that left us in awe. The Thali they prepared was an unforgettable moment of our holiday. Each bite was perfectly crafted with carefully chosen spices, oils, and proteins, resulting in a dish that was nothing short of magnificent. The pastry chefs also deserve special recognition for their stunning creations, with each dessert a masterpiece in both flavor and presentation. Ali and his food and beverage team were phenomenal, delivering exceptional service across all the resort’s restaurants and bars, including Koto, Kofee ‘n Chill, Art-I-San, Moodhu Grill, Cuisine Gallery, and Edgewater Bar. Their service elevated every dining experience, and the cocktails they served were the best we’ve ever tasted. The rest of the resort’s staff were equally impressive. Riyaz and the housekeeping team kept our villa immaculate, with thoughtful touches that made us feel so cared for. Azim and the maintenance team worked tirelessly to ensure the island looked pristine and operational, even after a stormy night, which is a true testament to their dedication. Our spa visits with Rohit and his team were incredible, with the hot stones and Kizhi treatments being standout highlights. Their passion and care created
Outstanding
