The hotel

This tropical paradise is a haven of tranquillity with beautiful, white sandy beaches and a wealth of amenities - the perfect ingredients for idyllic island living. As you would expect, there are water sports in abundance, as well as plenty of land sports, including tennis and volleyball. Beach and overwater villas are furnished with contemporary touches and come well-equipped with the latest amenities, and private pools with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. If you feel in need of pampering — after all, you are on holiday — head for the hotel’s spa, set across a bridge on Crusoe’s Island. Indulge in the latest massage and beauty treatments, feeling refreshed and ready to face the world again. With so many activities on offer, you’re sure to build up an appetite, but with a choice of excellent restaurants to tempt you, there’s no worries on that front! Get your day off to a great start at Raha, serving a hearty breakfast buffet with a slice of paradise views.

We have stayed in villa which was over ocean. Room was clean and perfectly done. There is only one problem with over ocean villas, it is far from restaurants you need to call shuttle every time which if it’s busy hours you will wait 10-15 mins. Reaching the hotel is kinda hard as you need to use sea plane, it has specific hours which you need to choose they work only sunlight. As service from radisson when you land Maldives their staff is taking you and taking care of your needs in lounge. Check in was pretty comfortable they give you application for every service and island host in our case Hassan. He was basically perfect because in our 5 day stay I was sick cause of air conditioning 4 days he basically took care of everything, every need with doctor, food and everyone. Second it was my wife birthday again Hassan made a perfect arrangement with cake and drums with bunch of people. So basically every hotel depends on service of their people in our case Hassan made it perfect. Read less
