AYADA MALDIVES RESORT Reviews

Stylish houses on stilts in the ocean. Very nice service.

I loved it so much the only thing that was difficult was the way of getting there. But the overall experience was amazing. The staff are nice and helpful suman from magu restaurant made our day by preparing our favorite food. Shiraz our Butler was great too and helpful. The water Villa was wonderful and we had so much fun. The food is absulotly delicious we will return hopefully soon

Quiet and quaint private island with everything you need. Very romantic place and picturesque location. Great staff and activities as well.

Ayada was magnificent. Its the perfect place to escape. The staff, facilities, rooms and location is perfect!

Heaven on earth! Couldn't imagine a better place for vacation.

Wonderful with the meanings of this word I hope to continue.

Trully amazing BUT the boat trip we had to take was at 3 am at really rpifh sea and was not safe at all .we freed for our life and it was the worst experience we've ever had. Do not recommend guys unless the boat trip back to your airport is during the day . Omg still shaking glad we made it alive .
We got told by the hotel staff to go on that boat at 3 am in the storm or lose out international flight . Unbelievable. Apart from that all is stunning

My husband and I decided to spend our honeymoon at Ayada resort. Just by looking at the pictures before booking, we had very high expectations of the place. And having spent the last 8 days there, I can easily say that Ayada exceeded our expectations. This is by far the best place you can choose for honeymoon or any type of vacation. The experience started the moment we reached Maldives; there we had an assistant to take care of our luggages and book us on the domestic flights while we were relaxing in the lounge. It takes some time to reach the hotel from the airport (domestic flight + speed boat) but once you re there, it s really worth it. We felt so special from the moment we reached - special welcome by the staff, then a tour of the resort by our butler. Resort is too beautiful like a paradise on Earth (as beautiful as the pictures are, they still don t do it justice), rooms are amazing, food is toooo good; Kai restaurant, Ocean breeze, Zero degree all have served great food. The resort has so many activities to offer that I will not dwell into in this review. BUT what makes this resort amazing is the people who work there. Our butler, Aisaf, was there for us for everything we needed and more- taking amazing pictures for honeymoon dinner, snorkeling, even providing contact lenses from Male. We ve never had such an amazing experience with butlers even in high end hotel chains. Biggest thanks to you for really making our honeymoon more memorable. Also special thanks to Saad, Chamil, Craig, Ismail and everyone there, I m sure I forgot a lot of names. Highly recommended for couples celebrating their honeymoon, also for families (saw a lot of families there with their kids and they were so cute and happy :p). We felt like we are part of the Ayada family and we hope that we will come back soon

I do not give more stars because there is no ...
Beautiful island beautiful beautiful, super attentive and helpful staff .. clean 10 ... nothing to point ...
My best vacation ever ... what I thought of ayada so I had it !!

Amazing . Word can't describe how great everything is. You have to experience it !

By far the best resort I ve been to, hands down! Don t think any place can even remotely come close to how heavenly this place is.

Great hotel, always on customer service, the long journey from Male definitely worth it.

An outstanding resort with endless views of the clear ocean. I truly appreciated each moment as everything was just right! Aisaf, our butler did an amazing job by constantly checking up on us. He is very polite and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend Ayada Maldives!

The resort is brilliant, very friendly wellcome and staff. Rooms are spaceous, i book beach suite but the room a bit dark and does not include private beach, upgrade my room to ocean villa that was very good and special. Last day we rest in lagoon suit it was perfect i love it. Staff, food and view amazing.

Thank you.

We stayed at Ayada for 5 nights. Spectacular about describes it. My husband and I are vegetarian and the chefs and other staff did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. We would like to particularly name

Chef Amit - for lovely breads
Chef Humayun - for some wonderful noodles specially made for us
Chef Shubham - for his wonderful curries that spiced up our day

We are naming each staff who contributed to our feeling of delight every step of our holiday not because they did their jobs but because they stretched themselves with genuine delight to make sure we loved every bit !

Overall staff seemed happy and relaxed - resulting in a great experience for us.

Thank you everyone !

I learned advanced diving here.
Not only is the instructor very reliable, but it is an environment where you can learn diving with confidence because it is 1: 1.
It was a pity that I didn't leave nitrox, but the rest of the hotel and diving are the best!

A fantastic experience lived with the awareness of being in a unique place in the world. My week went by in the blink of an eye. Continuous spectacle of nature between reefs, fish, lush vegetation and dream temperatures. The structure is well beyond the banal 5 stars ... one drawback ... the dive kingdom is not very reliable and kind unlike the rest of the resort's services.
Great food and lots of variety.
Too bad everything goes too quickly.
FANTASTIC.

Very nice hotel, I stayed here for three weeks, which brought me a lot of pleasure, wonderful staff, interesting activities, delicious food, large area, warm welcome, excellent spa, rooms are very comfortable and clean, if you are planning a vacation in the Maldives I can guarantee you this the best hotel of its kind.

I had an exceptional unexpected awesome experience here. I had 5 days stay and my wedding ceremony was held over there (wedding package). The best decision that I didn't plan my wedding in Australia.
- The greeting has a character and warms you up for next awesome things waiting for you
- This butler thing is a great idea, our butler was really helpful, respectful and he tried to help us even when something didn't seem to go our way. Our butler (Dev) was more than awesome.
- We had the wedding package organised by Kamran. He was a great guy, helpful, funny and friendly. He made our life a special day more special
- I can say Ayada paid attention to any single detail, both in the accommodation, activities and also the staff.
- The managers were so down to earth, even they apologised to us because of the rainy weather.
- The staff were really friendly (from the heart) due to their work conditions.
- Mizu (Chef Patrick) and Kai restaurant were the best
- Diamond package is the must

Quiet place extremely well organized and the staff are very friendly

The best honeymoon i highly recommend the sunset lagoon it s just unbelievable,
Everything their is just beautiful, rooms design, cleanliness, it s the best place to relax and chill and forget about the whole world.
For the food Magu restaurant is very nice and delicious.
For the transportation in the island, you can tell your own butler to bring you bicycles to roam around the island and enjoy every little bet of it

Recommend! Maldives vacation, food in Turkey, with a tropical slant.

This is my first time visiting the Maldives. As soon as you finish with customs, you re greeted with representatives who take your luggage. Our flight to a nearby island was scheduled to be a few hours later, but was rescheduled to be within 30 minutes. On the island, you re almost instantly greeted with other representatives, and driven to the harbor to get on a 50 minute boat ride. When j got to the Ayada Island, you re greeted with musicians and friendly greetings. Our stay overall was very amazing, the rooms are right on the ocean and the views are amazing. The staff here is very friendly, and you are able to bike everywhere you need to go. Overall, my only complaint is the pricing of everything, as almost all of the food is imported, a simple lunch for four people can cost $150! I have nothing to compare this experience to, but I believe Ayada Maldives does an excellent job at treating their guests to the best of their ability, thank you!

Luxury + Happiness + Comfort + Fun + Peace + Royality = Ayada Maldives.

We were in ayada resort during the month of October and did 4-5 dives with dive kingdom. We enjoyed very relaxed diving under the guidance of our instructor Ms. Yun Jo. Since we were always diving in very small groups, attention was at most as my wife was beginner diver. Ms. Yun keeps everything very calm, and relaxed with kindness and consideration to the divers. We felt very safe and relaxed diving with her. Waters were clear with beautiful unspoiled corals and marine life as the sites were on the unspoiled southern maldives. Once again would like to thank for wonderful experience.

Perfect vacay!! Villa is amazing & staffs r super friendly :) This should be 6 stars resort not only 5. Worth the money.

The resort is comfortable, the staff friendly and the variety of meals enjoyable and the cleanliness more than excellent

Very good. It just takes too much time to get here.

I work starting time 26 month finishing carpenter

The food is tasty, the environment is clean and beautiful, the water on the water is divine. Transportation to the island is very long. 1h with a plane and 1h with a speedboat, but when you see this paradise on the ground, you forget the long journey. But it's very expensive

This place is wonderful the rooms are very large and each room has a private pool and is on the porch and the water is very good because it is not cold nor is frever and next you have a hammock that under the hammock is the sea but you have stairs by the pool to go to the sea and in addition to having a hammock you have two sunbeds and a quarda sun and the beds are very comfortable and the bathroom is huge and the 3 restaurants well one is not quite a restaurant it is kind a bar and the front you have a huge pool and next to the pool you have stairs to go to the beach and the other is bofe and the restaurant is beautiful because it seems that someone is getting married and the other is what the breakfast lunch it is dinner and it is also bofe and the landscape is beautiful.

Mesmerized with the beauty of such breath taking views. Amazing place

From arrival to departure everything was perfect. Super friendly, attentive staff and very tasty food. One of the most beautiful places on earth.

I would like to especially thank our butler Burak and the boss of the diving school Faysal.

BUT...
For me one of the bigger problems in the Maldives are the Asians who don't care about their environment and step on corals and break off. Of course, not all are meant, but sadly most of them. Although it is explained to them that it is forbidden to do something like this, they do not understand it. That should be more strictly controlled and "punished" everywhere in the Maldives!

Most amazing trip of my life. The BEST place for a honeymoon. Treated my husband and I like royalty. Made sure that we had an amazing honeymoon. We had champagne upon arrival, breakfast in bed, unlimited food and drink, and amazing view from our over-water villa! Zeeshan was our butler and was the absolute best! You must request him. Thanks for our honeymoon gift Zeeshan! Ayada forces you to slow down and connect with your spouse. Would not pick any other place in the world! We were so spoiled and still miss Ayada.

Beautiful and friendly. Snorkeling and jet ski is fun. Water is clear and villas are amazing. Bit overpriced for activities and room service menu could be more flexible. Morning buffet is great though . Enjoy

We chose Ayada for our honeymoon and we were highly satisfied with our stay. Even if it's a bit far from the arrival airport and hard to get to, but Ayada is not just a resort, it's a beautiful little island inhabited by a very friendly family, that's the impression that we had. The sunset lagoon villa was magical, the food was very delicious, rich and generous, and people were very welcoming, smiling and helpful.

We would like to give special thanks to :
- Chef Karim for his hospitality, speaking with us in Arabic and French and explaining everything we ask for.
- Shifaaz, our butler, for his availability, his kindness and his suggestions.
- Louise, even if she was an intern, she is very talented and multicultural minded. We enjoyed having a talk in french about the resort and the especially the meals and their particularities.
- Nabith, the room service guy who was very kind and brave with us. He has a sens of details and didn't hesitate to suggest some tips that made our stay more enjoyable. He even added some beautiful bed decoration the day we were leaving.

We recommend booking at Ayada, because it's a real paradise on earth !
