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.

Nice view with spacious room and private infinity pool. Romantic place for honeymoon. Staff are helpful and friendly. There is shuttle service from everywhere that we didn't need to walk in the hot sun. Can be improved if alcoholic drinks can be provided in the room for AI package.

A luxurious paradise. The resort is the whole island, every beach, every tree, every pool, bar, lagoon is yours to enjoy. The food is next level amazing, so much variety, all so well made, nothing just bulk-smashed-out. And so much. And the people. From the guy that rakes the beach of stray rubbish or corals, to the hosts, activity leads, the cooks and bar-tenders, maintenance and cleaners. Everyone - everyone - is so friendly, happy, excited to be there and to help anyway they can to make your moment even more special. Never been so excited to go somewhere, and it was everything and more than we could imagine. Read less

This resort is amazing! The staff are the nicest people we’ve ever dealt with! Nicole was our island host and was available anytime we needed her for extra reservations or to book our spa treatments. She was so friendly and knowledgeable and spoke English wonderfully. We actually got a little teary eyed leaving because we were treated so fantastically. Thobin was our room housekeeper/go to guy. He always made sure the mini bar was stocked and we had fresh towels and sheets. All of the restaurants were great! The food was outstanding. A huge variety of choices at Raha, Carusoe’s for lunch bites and fun music. Eats and Beats was probably our favorite. The food/variety of choices was excellent and the staff there always remembered us and our orders. We loved staying here and despite the 24+ hour travel time for us, we would go back in a heartbeat.
