Hotels With Spa in Baa Atoll, Maldives

The hotel is brand new, you can still smell the fresh plaster! 😀 All the furniture, bedding, towels, and sanitary ware are new. The first room we got was too small for two people. The next day, we asked if we could switch to a different room. The staff were very accommodating and gave us an amazing room, at no extra charge, in another building of the HAWKS chain. There are three hotels in the chain: NEST, WINGS, and WRANS. After three nights, they offered us a free upgrade to an improved room with a balcony and ocean view. All three hotels provide slippers, bathrobes, and a wide range of personal hygiene products, even natural loofahs. The bedding and towels are spotless white. Beach towels, masks, snorkels, and fins are all provided for free upon request. The buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner were just okay. For a hotel of this caliber, it could have been much better. No one starved, of course. You can also order from the à la carte menu. It's tastier and sometimes even cheaper. Dinner itself costs $15. The staff are very responsive and always resolve any issues. Special thanks to Ali and Hassan. Hassan is a waiter and a photographer all in one! I'd recommend the hotel owner replace the sun loungers on the beach with more comfortable ones, and definitely improve the food. I recommend this hotel and might even return. Oh, I forgot to mention, the hotel offers welcome compliments. Just ask, as they don't really advertise them.

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 !!!

I left the hotel today and am writing this from a fresh perspective. I'll say the main thing right away: the hotel is in a great location; fresh salty air wafts through the open window in the mornings and evenings. The hotel is right on the pier where all the boats are—it's beautiful. In the evening, sharks come swimming. You can feed them fish. Inside: the rooms are large, new, and fully equipped. They clean every day, and there's plenty of drinking water. Beach towels are plentiful. In the midday heat, you can linger in the shade of the trees on the shore near your room. Sun loungers, umbrellas, and tables—everything is there. Snorkeling and SUPs are the best place for it. This hotel is right there. The staff: kind, helpful, and empathetic. The house reef is great: dolphins, turtles, manta rays, schools of fish. I saw it all myself. Bikini Beach is a 5-minute walk along the shore. You can walk along the streets – 10 minutes. The breakfasts were nutritious. They helped organize all the boat excursions and fishing trips. They were very supportive and attentive. Adam is the manager. Always ready to talk and help. A special shout out to Yusuf 🤍 Without him, my understanding of the island and local life would have been limited. He did everything he could every day to ensure I enjoyed myself. It was an incredible experience. I'll definitely be back. And to this hotel. There are hotels on the island closer to Bikini Beach, but you won't hear the surf or see the sunrise there because of their location. And the hotels are located on the streets – it's stuffy. If you're choosing where to stay, choose this hotel. I recommend it!

We had an unforgettable experience in Avani Maldives. Our guide beautiful Nathu is really nice, she helped us solved many problems and satisfied any needs that we required to help us with a wonderful honeymoon holidays. Food: really nice and delicious, especially Charcoal, where my husband really liked it and we booked two dinners there. Staffs: all people are nice and friendly, they made lovely beds and warm words to help us with our sleep. Villa: Nice and new. Good snorkeling views. Definitely strong recommendation. For anyone who come to Maldives, this could be your first choice!

Our stay at Isla Retreat was 100/10! We loved absolutely everything. I'd like to express my gratitude to all the staff who looked after us with care throughout our stay. The food was incredibly delicious, the cleanliness was impeccable, and the overall service deserves no less than 5 stars. Upon arrival, we were given a short tour of the island, and then they showed us on a map where everything was, where you could swim, and where there were dangerous currents. The hotel offers a variety of activities: a library, billiards, SUPs, and bicycles. We even looked at the moon through a telescope! We had breakfast and dinner, and everything was delicious. The menu was extensive enough that we didn't get bored, and everything was so delicious that we chose many of the items several days in a row (catch of the day ❤️). The rooms always had plenty of drinking water and towels. And in general, every detail in the room deserves special mention – from the kettle to the yoga mat. All the staff are always ready to help or answer questions. The hotel is surrounded by greenery, and flying foxes can sometimes land on the balconies, which we were thrilled about. There's a small beach near the hotel where you can relax in the shade or gaze at the starry sky. Fehendhoo and Isla Retreat broke my heart, and I hope I can come back 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!

The hotel is located in the center of the island, the rooms on the first floor, the view from the window is not very good. Everything else was nice.

🌴 Review: Dreamland Maldives (Stayed July 7–11, 2025) 🌴 Just returned from an amazing 4-night stay at Dreamland Maldives, and overall we were really impressed — especially if you love marine life and peaceful surroundings. 🐠 Snorkeling & Excursions – Absolutely worth it! The house reef around the island is full of life. We saw nurse sharks, sea cucumbers, and even sea turtles while snorkeling close to shore. Our favorite excursions were: • A trip to Hanifaru Bay to watch the majestic manta rays. • A nurse shark tour around the Dreamland reef — exciting and well organized. 🍴 Food – Delicious and better than expected We chose the Full Board package (3 meals per day), and the buffet meals were consistently good. Each day offered a variety of beef, pork, chicken, and fish dishes, along with rotating international options. We were pleasantly surprised to find Thai dishes occasionally included — such as Tom Yum Chicken Soup and Thai Fish Cakes (Tod Mun Pla) — both authentic and flavorful. 💧 Note – Full Board doesn’t include water Still water is not included in Full Board. • A 1.5L bottle costs around $3.50 USD, which adds up over several days. • If you prefer not to worry about extra drink charges, we recommend going for the All-Inclusive package instead. 🌧️ Weather Tip – Be cautious in July On our departure day, a storm delayed our seaplane, and we missed our international flight. If traveling in July (monsoon season), plan extra buffer time or stay a night near the airport before your outbound flight. Dreamland offers a relaxing and nature-filled getaway with great snorkeling and tasty food. We’ll gladly return — but next time, with All-Inclusive and flexible travel plans during the rainy season!

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.

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.
