Perfect location - just 15/20 minutes by speedboat from Malé Airport, with a convenient round-trip transfer option (USD 110), ideal if you prefer to avoid long travel times.
The food was delicious, with buffet options available at one of the restaurants if you’re on a meal plan. Otherwise, there are several other restaurants on the island to explore.
The island has a wide range of villas, and you can swim freely around different areas. Standard rooms are a bit small but all are beach-facing right from the door, which is a big plus. Deluxe rooms are more spacious, though not all offer a direct beach view you may need to step outside to enjoy it.
Marine life is a highlight - different parts of the island offer unique underwater experiences, including colorful fish, small sharks, and beautiful coral reefs.
The staff were friendly and attentive. Rooms were cleaned twice daily, and the entire island was well-maintained and spotless throughout our stay.
One minor downside is that seaplanes frequently pass overhead since the island is close to the airport, which may be noticeable at times.
Overall, a fantastic stay with great service, vibrant marine life, and a lively atmosphere.
The room was absolutely satisfying – quite spacious with a large and comfortable double bed. The sea view from the balcony was excellent. The ground floor (G level) houses the restaurant, while what Trip.com calls the 'first floor' rooms (standard sea view rooms) are actually on the second floor. Deluxe sea view rooms, which are slightly more expensive, are on the third floor and above. The hotel guests are a mix of Europeans/Americans and Chinese. The front desk staff spoke English and I experienced no discrimination whatsoever. Some reviews mentioned that higher floors were given to Westerners, but perhaps they just booked a second-floor room to begin with. Actually, the second-floor rooms are also beautiful, perfectly level with the palm trees. Because Trip.com noted my booking as a 'first floor' room (which is actually the second floor, as the actual first floor is the 'G' level with only the restaurant and front desk, no rooms), I specifically requested a deluxe sea view room on a higher floor than the first, and I was given a room on the fifth floor with an amazing view. When arriving by speedboat, a dedicated staff member was there to pick us up. Although it was only about 200 meters, the hotel still used a golf cart for us and a three-wheeled vehicle for our luggage, delivering everything directly to our room after check-in. When departing, the front desk booked our speedboat tickets for us. The front desk manager personally saw us off to the golf cart and politely asked about our stay experience. The staff carried our luggage all the way to the boat. The service was truly superb.
On our first day, we went out to sea, and I left my underwear on the bed since I was wearing my swimsuit. When we returned, the room had been cleaned, and my pajamas and underwear were neatly folded and arranged on the bed. Because the room attendant was male, my daughter and I felt a bit embarrassed. For the following days, we put up the 'Do Not Disturb' sign, and after returning in the afternoon, we only requested fresh towels and water refills. The staff would still often ask if we needed our room cleaned – the service was truly outstanding.
The ground floor breakfast area has plenty of seating, and breakfast starts at 6:30 AM, which is perfect for not delaying our excursions. There's a wide variety of food, including egg pancakes and corn pancakes that cater to Chinese tastes. I didn't pre-book dinner, but there was a good selection, costing $20 per person, and cash payment was accepted. There are many island excursions available, offering plenty of deep-sea experiences and photo opportunities. All in all, my experience at Kaani Hotel on Maafushi Island was fantastic, and I highly recommend it.
The hotel was incredibly easy to find, practically right in front of me as soon as I arrived in Maafushi. It was so close to the airport that I didn't have to wander around at all after my transfer, which was a huge relief with all my luggage. Its accessibility also made it super convenient for tours and getting around during my stay.
There were tons of cafes and restaurants nearby, perfect for grabbing a bite or just relaxing. The location was ideal for soaking in the Maafushi vibe. A big plus was the really fast Wi-Fi; I had no issues using the internet, and uploading photos or streaming videos during my trip was completely stress-free, which I really appreciated.
The pool was well-maintained and pleasant to use, and the panoramic views of Maafushi from there were absolutely stunning. My only minor gripe was that I didn't find the staff to be exceptionally friendly, which was a bit of a letdown. However, overall, the convenience and location of this accommodation made it a thoroughly satisfying stay.
I had booked the sea view room. The view, staff, environment, and breakfast — everything was amazing. The standout was a female receptionist; I can't recall her name, but her behavior was wonderful, and she was helpful.
The hotel itself is beautifully designed and located in a dreamlike setting. However, in certain areas, the resort occasionally shows its age, suggesting potential for minor modernizations here and there.
We stayed in a water villa, which was very well-equipped and exceptionally comfortable. A particular highlight was the impressive variety of fish that could be observed right outside – a true standout feature.
Some beach sections were less visually appealing, for example, due to visible drainage pipes. This, however, did not affect the water villa area. With a bit more attention to detail, these areas could certainly be made more harmonious.
Cleanliness throughout the resort was exemplary. Fresh beach towels were always available, and our room was even cleaned twice a day – which we greatly appreciated.
Most of the staff were exceptionally polite and eager to make our stay pleasant. Occasionally, some individuals seemed a bit reserved or less engaged, but this was balanced out by the friendliness and professionalism of the other staff members. Overall, we felt that efforts were made for our well-being.
During meals, drinks were offered very attentively. At times, we were asked multiple times if we wanted to order wine, cocktails, or other beverages. Since we felt the prices were on the higher side, we consciously declined. A slightly less insistent approach would have been more comfortable for us.
At the bar in the evening, we would have liked a more atmospheric ambiance. It was quite dark in places, and subtle lighting of the beach section or, for example, a fire pit, could have added extra warmth and harmony to the atmosphere.
Overall, we still enjoyed our stay and thank you for the relaxing time. With a few small adjustments, we believe the experience could be further enhanced.
We extended our stay one more night. Our last night was at their best room which provided a stunning view. Thank you to Magic and Lucky for upgrading our room. We are so thankful for their service. Also, everyone else who works at the hotel are very nice people.
This island is great, offering excellent value for money. The Italian and Thai restaurants serve delicious food, and the buffet's bread and desserts are also fantastic. I found the snorkeling environment to be excellent as well. An unforgettable trip!
In all my travels, the Maldives is the first country where you don't need to exchange dollars for local currency because you'll lose money on the transfer. Everywhere accepts either dollars or rufiyaa, but each has its own exchange rate. It's the same with everything. I contacted the hotel in advance and found out how much a boat from the airport would cost. They quoted me $25, but when I arrived, it was $30. I booked a sea-view room for 5 days and was assigned to the first floor. 🤦♀️ Of course, there was no sea view, plus the smell of the kitchen made it impossible to move. The room was cleaned every day, and it was quite good. The hotel itself is new, but the furniture is already cracked, and the bed linen and towels are good. Breakfast is very poor; I had lunch and dinner there too. There's no coffee machine, all the coffee is instant, so I ate juices and smoothies. There were flyers at the reception desk about fishing and snorkeling. I wanted to book one, but the girl said it was only for groups of 6 or more. I asked if she could help, and she said okay, and that was it. No interest whatsoever.
Our vacation at Grand Park has come to an end, and I'd love to share my thoughts 🌴.
First off, this was our first time in the Maldives, and we were absolutely thrilled.
We stayed in two types of villas: lagoon and ocean water. They are completely identical and face each other.
The lagoon villa has a huge advantage: it's practically wind-free. All the ocean breeze is absorbed by the ocean villas. The lagoon side offers sunset views, while the ocean villa offers sunrise views.
The ocean villas definitely have a better view; from the lagoon, you can see several islands, including the neighboring Hilton.
The rooms are very clean and were serviced twice a day. Linens were changed upon request, towels were fresh, and all necessities were provided: slippers, a beach bag, and umbrellas.
Upon arrival, we immediately picked up masks, snorkels, and fins for the entire duration of our stay (these are complimentary). By the way, the watersports equipment rental manager speaks Russian and was very helpful and friendly.
We brought water shoes with us but never used them. We always snorkeled with fins, and when we just swam from the villa, we couldn't even reach the bottom. They might be useful if you enjoy beach holidays and swimming from the shore, as the ocean entry there is indeed full of corals and shells, but we're just not fans of sand and didn't even go there.
The reef is excellent; not quite the Philippines, of course, but there was still plenty to see. On the very first day, we spotted an eagle ray swimming right next to us – this was on the reef near the watersports rental, which I highly recommend for snorkeling as it's far less crowded than the reef near the villas.
We wanted to go on an excursion to see nurse sharks, but a 'white flag' (meaning strong winds) was declared for all the days of our stay, so all excursions and even jet skis were canceled.
We were very happy with the food. Breakfasts were quite varied, only lacking in meat (cold cuts or sausages; only pork options were available). We mostly had lunch in our villa, and it was delivered quickly. Dinner was also diverse; you definitely won't go hungry.
All the staff were incredibly friendly, very open and responsive. Everyone smiled and greeted us, and the main phrase of our trip to the Maldives was “enjoy,” which we heard constantly 🥰 and we certainly did!
The only excursion we managed to do was swimming on the floating platform, which we highly recommend. We took the package for $129, which included 4 cocktails + 3 snacks. We expected something like canapés, but they brought out full-sized dishes! It even ended up being cheaper than our usual dinner 😂. We ate our fill and enjoyed a beautiful sunset, and the photos there are amazing! You can stay there as long as you like, there’s no time limit. We recommend going at sunset around 4:30 PM or even 5:00 PM when the sun has already set to avoid the heat.
The hotel is stunning, with very well-maintained grounds. The beach was constantly being cleaned, things were being trimmed, transported, and repaired – they were busy working all day long! There are many lizards on the property, and the Maldivian heron was also frequently seen))
The vacation was 10/10, the hotel was 10/10 – simply a perfect paradise! 🩵🌴
We left feeling incredibly grateful ✨
It was beyond our expectation. We were upgraded to Dakani, which was a good deal. The room was big. The service was provided by a black guy who added taige. It was very nice. Children had to pay an extra 30 USD per day. We booked at a very cheap price of 500 RMB/day. The free upgrade felt like we made 1 million. We were very lucky because the speedboat from Maafushi back to the airport was indeed 15 USD/person. There was a sign at the entrance of the hotel. Maafushi was really fun. Going out to sea to snorkel with sharks was a life of vogue. The best way to explore Maldives is to go to a residential island + a resort island. By the way, the Furawasi that we went to later was really beautiful. The sea view was the most beautiful in Furawasi among the three islands in Maldives I have been to. It was a super tricolor sea!
Very Good

GGuest UserBest stay ever in Maldives! My fourth trip to Maldives, but this stay is the best. Beautiful water villa with pool and very clean and comfortable. Joey was at the reception when I checked in and she was very patient to explain on use of app and things to note. The experience at Hardrock Cafe was fantastic, great food and music. There are 3 islands connected and you can see sunrise and sunset near the Pavilion. The staff at Pavilion (Mr Sunil Giri )was so kind to help me take some pictures with the sunset. There are many shops like canvas painting, pottery making etc to participate in. The staff at merchandise shop (Mr Aalif) beside Hard Rock Cafe has a sense of humour and made one shopping experience a great one! Kudos to all the staff and recommend everyone be it solo or families to choose the hotel, you will never regret! Lastly thanks to the hotel for giving me a bottle of champagne and a birthday cake to make the stay a memorable one!
GGuest UserIn our opinion, this hotel feels a bit like a Turkish resort. Since we came here after staying at Tinadhoo, the differences were quite noticeable. The restaurant doesn't have a great view, but the variety of food is decent, and there's a kids' corner. Buggies transport guests around the island, which is very convenient and fun for children. What we didn't like is that because of this, there are a lot of concrete paths, so you can't walk barefoot. The service was a bit disappointing; it felt very mass-produced. They didn't respond about our transfer or contact us themselves, so we had to find their counter at the airport on our own and call the hotel. This was probably because we weren't arriving by plane. We also didn't receive a welcome bag, and the bed for the third person was only made up after we called reception. These are minor things, but you tend to notice them more at a resort. Overall, we liked our villa; it wasn't new, but everything was well-maintained. In front of our villa was a lagoon, and beyond that a breakwater, so there wasn't really an ocean view. However, thanks to the breakwater, the lagoon was very calm. There's a reef, but it's quite monotonous; the corals are brown and all look the same, and you can only swim over them at high tide. There are large fish and stingrays, so there's enough to see for a couple of days. Overall, it's not bad, but we definitely wouldn't return. It would probably be a good choice for families with children, though, due to its proximity to the airport and kid-friendly amenities.
JJazzabongoThe experience was amazing. Over water villas were incredible. Very comfortable. Snorkeling off the balcony and seeing black tip reef sharks and stingrays. The staff were incredible, excellent service at Midi by the pool. And food in Soi and Cocoon was amazing. The island and beaches were lovely and getting there was so easy. Look forward to going back.
JJeffGCIf you are looking for a Maldivian getaway that balances island relaxation with a bit of ”city” energy and variety, SAii Lagoon is a fantastic choice. Unlike the more isolated private islands, this resort is part of the CROSSROADS Maldives project, which means you aren't just limited to one resort’s dining and activities.
🚤 Location & Arrival
One of the biggest perks is the 15-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. After a long flight, being at the resort and checked in within 30 minutes is a luxury in itself. No waiting hours for a seaplane!
🛌 The Room Experience
The design here is very ”Boho-Chic”—bright, colorful, and modern.
• Sky Rooms: Great value with a beautiful balcony view of the lagoon.
• Beach Villas: The direct beach access is worth the upgrade. The ”creature comfort” pillows and the ability to customize your own bathroom amenities at the Aroma Bar were unique touches that made the stay feel personalized.
🍴 Dining & Activities
This is where SAii really stands out. Because it’s connected by a footbridge to The Marina @ CROSSROADS and the Hard Rock Hotel:
• Variety: You have access to over 10+ dining options. We loved Miss Olive Oyl for Mediterranean flavors, but having the option to walk over to the Hard Rock Café or the Ministry of Crab at the Marina kept things exciting.
• The Hub: The Marina has a discovery center, shops, and a beach club (Café del Mar style).
• Snorkeling: The house reef is decent, and we spotted plenty of colorful fish and even a few small reef sharks near the overwater walkways.
💡 Pro-Tips for Travelers:
1. Download the App: Use the SAii App to request buggies or book dinner tables—it’s much faster than calling the front desk.
2. Explore the Marina: Don't just stay on the SAii island. The sunset views from the Marina pier are some of the best on the island.
3. Hilton Honors: If you have status, the perks here (like breakfast or room upgrades) are well-recognized as it’s part of the Curio Collection.
Summary: Perfect for couples or families who want a vibrant, social atmosphere rather than total isolation. The proximity to Malé makes it the ultimate stress-free Maldivian escape!
Would I return? Absolutely, especially for a shorter trip where I want to maximize my time on the sand rather than in transit.
GGapOlkaA hotel with high European standards of service and a pleasant staff. It's located right next to the pier where sharks and rays swim up in the evenings. Since I didn't feel like eating much in the morning, the staff packed me a breakfast in a lunchbox. It's a shame I only stayed there for one day.
GGuest UserWhat a generous host you are !
Warm and excellent service by all the staffs .
Beautiful island.
Thank you for the romantic dinner by the beach.
Nice watching sunset with dolphins.
Nice food . Definitely will come back . Love so much !!
