Hotels With spa in Baa Atoll, Maldives

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!

This is my second time coming to Dhigufaru Resort Island. It was always lovely to come here. Our butler, Afa always prepared the best for us. The first time we came, on my partner’s birthday and they prepared us the complimentary cake and even help to figure out our transfer problem. The second time we came, there was a little miscommunication regarding our booking and our room choices were fullbook, but she managed for us so we still can get our preferences room based on our booking and evenmore better. The manta feeding was fun as well, so excited to see the manta & shark from very close to the beachline. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner are also good with various options. The room was clean and the amnities were completed. I love the smell of the lotion the most. A good place to creating memories. Definitely will come back again 💛

Communication with booking department was bad, it was hard to get information about transfers, they didn't answer half of my messages. The boat to the island was delayed for more than 1 hour but I wasn't informed about it. Timing of the speedboat is not the best as it's public transport mainly used by locals, the boat departs from the island about 7.30 am. The staff at the reception are friendly and trying to help but sometimes there are some misunderstandings. Check in was fast and smooth but no information was given at all. Everything is in another building - Swarn. I didn't feel very safe walking around after sunset as this building is in the middle of nowhere.. The island is beautiful but full of construction. The bathroom is tiny and there is absolutely no place to put wet towels and swimsuits. The hotel building is next to a very noisy construction, there were some works in the building itself. I was given a room with the sea view which is nice but also opposite the elevator which produces loud sounds every time someone presses any button on any floor. When it was windy some food waste was in the water and on the beach (

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!

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 !!!

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.

Our stay in isla retreat was on 100/10! I liked absolutely everything. I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff who surrounded us with care throughout the rest. The food was incredibly tasty, the purity is flawless, the whole service deserves not less than 5 stars. When we arrived, we took a small tour of the island, and then on the map showed where what is located, where you can swim, and where dangerous flows. There is a lot of entertainment in the hotel: library, billiard, waist, bicycles. We even looked at the moon in the telescope! We had breakfast and dinner and everything was very delicious. The menu is large enough to not get bored, and all so delicious that many positions we chose for several days in a row (catch of the day ❤️). There was always enough drinking water and towels in the rooms. And in general, all the filling of the room deserves a separate mention - from the teapot, to the yoga carpet. All staff are always ready to help or answer the question. The hotel is surrounded by green, the balconies can fly the bats, which we have been infinitely delighted. There is a small beach near the hotel where you can rest in the shadows or look at the star sky. Fehendhoo and Isla retreat broke my heart, I hope I can come again! 💔

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.

We stayed at Water Villa with Pool for 7 nights in February 2023. ＜ Snorkeling ＞ Close to the room to drop-off, snorkeling is the best. Be careful not to catch corals as the front is quite shallow. There were many kinds and quantities of fish, and I could see turtles every day. If you don't chase, you will swim nearby. According to the staff, I have seen the best ５ at once. It is said that the snorkeling between water sports jetty and Benjarong is the most. The life jacket provided in the room was easy to use. I entered the sea from my room every morning, but there was a flow depending on the day and it was difficult to reverse, so I went up from the sandy beach near Benjarong while being washed away by Xu 々 I went back to my room. The water villa on the 501-510 side is the best for snorkeling, but the sound of the waves hitting the shore was quite loud, and it was a little negative that I could hear all the time in the room. ＜ Yoga ＞ There were several free yoga lessons every day (reservation required) The teacher was a young Thai woman teacher and was quite authentic. The participants range from the first to the veteran 々 and up to 6 to 8 people. There were various venues such as indoors and outdoors along the sea. Matt also Manduka For reference, the schedule for February 2023 was as follows. (Month) 7:30-8:30 Sunrise Yoga 10:30-11:30 Yin Yoga 17:00-18:00 Gentle Yoga (Fire) 7:30-8:30 Yoga Stretching 10:30-11:30 Relief & Relaxing Yoga 15:00-16:00 Gentle Yoga 17:00-18:00 Yoga & Breath exercise (Water) 7:30-8:30 Hatha Yoga 10:30-11:30 Yoga Stretching 17:00-18:00 Vinayasa Yoga There were 4 to 5 free activities every day, and there were a lot of things such as Soundbath meditation /Nature walk /Easy Island Run / Thai massage lessons. ＜ Customer layer ＞ Traveling from China has not yet resumed in a big 々, so there weren't many Chinese. Most Asians are young Korean couples (a little bad manners), and Japanese are not yet there after Corona. Many Europeans came as families, and many Europeans were in terms of number, but it seems that there are usually many Asians (China and South Korea). ＜ Food ＞ I made it all-inclusive. Drinks in the room (soft drinks, beer, tea, coffee, etc.) are included, but some alcohol in the room and restaurant are charged. If you had lunch on the first day, the lunch on the last day was an extra charge (butler explains). The food was delicious at every restaurant. ＜ Room ＞ Water circulation (washroom ２ or place) The amount and temperature of the shower was perfect. You can also store hot water immediately in the bathtub. The water leaked on the floor on the first day, but I was able to fix it immediately. Bed wanted a twin, but was told not to be a prior request, but when I went to the room, it was made into a Hollywood twin. The bicycle installed in the room was convenient (no brakes, type that stops the pedal with a reverse saw, there is a bar in the middle like for men, so the tight skirt may be tighter ... You can ride on a dress i'm sorry. The private pool in the room is seawater. On the last day, I wanted a boat ＋ domestic flight from the resort on a plane from Male at 23:40, so there was a guide the day before and I was able to use the room until 18:00 when I checked out 19:00 resort departure.

This is probably one od the newest resorts in the Maldives opened only a few years ago so everything is new, clean and functional. I highly recommend getting a water villa for the full experience, the higher price is definitely worth it. All the villas are extremely spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms are tiled in marble and are the size of a small apartment. The rooms are very comfortable and modern with stunning views. On the first morning we woke up to dolphins greeting us (not joking!). The island is obviously beautiful, with a lake in the middle of it and fantastic tropical vegetation. There is a plant nursery on the island where all plants are grown and once they reach the right size they are planted around the island by the expert gardening staff. Baby sharks and other beatiful fish are always around and you can see them all the time. What mad the experience very special was the hotel staff. Apart from being professio al and well trained, they all went out of their way to be super friendly and polite. Special thanks to Nadheem (aka Totti) and the rest of the Food and Beverage staff who made the experience extraordinary! I must also commend the owners of the hotel for the way they treat their staff. In a country where every square centimetre of land is a priceless commodity, the owners had a football pitch built for their staff, within their restricted area. They organised an interdepartment tournament with all the perks. Special kits (uniforms), commentary, scoreboard, everything. Some of the guests (including us) were invited to watch and it was a lot of fun. I have been to resorts around the world (including my own country) and I think this should be an example to all of them. No wonder the staff are friendly and professional when they are treated well and respected! To sum everything up, this resort is perfect for a romantic couples vacation and I highly recommend it! Definitely going back there at some point! I recommend the water villas facing south for the most beautiful views. Get the all inclusive package, it is worth it. You won't need your wallet (or shoes) during your whole stay. One friendly suggestion to the staff: the music in all venues is very repetitive and after a few days it gets to your head. I would suggest investing in a few good playlists that reflect the island mood. It wouldn't cost much but it would give that extra sparkle to the experience.
