Adaaran Prestige Water Villas

The name says everything!

by tiontor about Paradise Island

We stayed at Paradise island, an island 30 minutes away from Male (the capital) with speed boat. It is a great island, with bungalows and water villas. It is full of flowers, plants and palm trees. It has a main restaurant serving huge international buffets, a japanese restaurant and italian. We stayed in a beach bungalow. The room was big, with all the facilities, cleaned every day. The water villas seem nice as well but they are very close to each other. Outside of our room we had our place to sit and relax, among the palm trees. In front there is a long white beach with clear and shallow water. It is a very quite 5 star hotel, beautiful, absolutely GREAT!

FUN! FUN! FUN!

by sheherezad about Club Med Kani

Go to Club Med Kani and stay in one of the water villas. The sea is azure - simply gorgeous! You can be alone when you want to or have fun with the rest when you want to! Watch the baby sharks swim up and down from the restaurant by the water! :-)

BTW the sea is undisturbed in Jan-Feb = the best time for snorkeling/diving or just wade the water front to see wonders of the sea!

Have fun! :-)

Sangu Resort

by Russ60

The level of service in the Sangu Resort was excellent as was the selection of food. There was a buffet style breakfast with various hot and cold selections as well as a cooking station where the chefs would prepare omlettes, fried eggs, scrambled eggs etc. We chose to stay in a Jacuzzi Beach Villa because in order to use the facilities of the Sangu Resort your accommodation had to be either a Jacuzzi Beach Villa or a Water Villa. Our personnal thoughts were that the Water Villas were possibly at the wrong side of the Island whereas the Beach Villas had a fantastic uncrowded beach and the sun virtually all day.

A snug little haven

by leigh767 about Thulhaagiri Island Resort

Consistent with what the Maldives is famous for, this little hotel/island offers friendly and personal service without being far too intrusive.

I stayed in both the beach and water villas and would certainly recommend the water villas-- it's worth so much more than what you have to pay for it, and the view is spectacular. Expect a few herons to drop by your balcony at night. At night you can turn on a spotlight that shines into the water. Watch schools of fish swarm to the spot through the glass panel of your coffee table that looks directly into the sea!

For those animal lovers, this island has its own flock of budgrigars too! Why not stop by and listen to their morning chorus on your way to breakfast?

The only caveat I can offer is that this is a very small island-- you can walk around it in 10 mins so if you're planning a long break to the Maldives, this *might* not be what you're looking for. But for those looking for a small island to chill, you'll love the intimate feel that Thulhaagiri offers. There is great joy to be had just being able to smile and nod at fellow vacationers at the small restaurant because... wasn't she the one who sat next to us when we were watching the sunset yesterday?

The island also offers multi-floor houses/lodges that can accommodate groups of 6. Well known for its buffet and incredible spread from Si Chuan beef to local delights, Thulhaagiri is the food lover's heaven. With 3 buffets a day and a revolving repertoire of dishes, it's hard to believe I didn't gain *any* weight after 5 days there!

Amazing Resort

by Crowe about Taj Exotica Spa

What an amazing place we spent our honeymoon hear like most other couples i think. You will be greated with your first view fron the plane, look out for the big leaf shaped complex.

We stayed in a deluxe lagoon villa in July 2004, the weather was really good clear every day even though we were suppossed to be in monsoon season. The water was very clam and allowed you to snorkel every day. You can dive off your balcony and believe me it is amazing. Maldivian tuna will swin in formation with you and if you are quiet you can watch a parrotfish munch on coral. The slits are actally a perfect nursery for baby fish so you can dive straight off your accomadation and see baby fish.

Food is the best I have ever tasted. However we couldnt eat three meals a day. In hindsight breakfast and dinner would be the best value for money

The excursions are quite expensive, however we benifited from the weak dollar. App the rsort sustained some damage from the tsunami and will open early 2005 however I am sure they will sort it out to be amazing aagin.

The hotel is very generous with free excusions. I would recommend going to Male and book ahead a trip to the whale submarine. Its expensive but worth it. Male is much maligned, personally I thought it was a lovely capital with a real provincial feel about it. Dont buy in the resort shop wait till the airport or go on a day trip to male!!

People go on about the beach villa personally it would annoy me people walking in front of your house and staring in. The lagoon villas are by far more private. In fact you can only see other villas sundecks when you snorkel into the lagoon. Spa, med cuisine restaurant, Sea View restaurant, Water villas, beach villas, plune pool, lovely coral sand, Best place ever I realyy want to go back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Water villas

by weekaiser101 about Most Islands

When going to the Maldives spend that extra money and get a water villa a once in a lifetime experience Lie in your bed at night and watch the fish below

Maybe the best private island

by erikute3534 about One&Only

it was best, better than expected.. absolutely perfect!
both villas are nice - water and beach. Beach villas are with or without pool... was nice to 'have' pool but we never used as ocean is too nice with all those colored fish! still to compare, we can suggest to stay half stay in water villa and other half in beach villa to know the difference.
Both houses perfect! only maybe beach villa more quiet as water little bit away and is not as noisy ...:) privacy...

exceptional accomodation- sangu water villas

by DOUGALSMUM

"The sangu water villas-worth every penny"

i am a great fan of water villas and the sangu ones at kuredu are particularly nice ones- take a peek

"their full title is "sunset water villas""

The situation of the villas means that you can see some pretty spectacular sunsets from your own balcony

not a bad view to wake up to is it?
