The hotel

This is no ordinary Maldivian island.

Everything you need is covered. There are champagne breakfasts, scrumptious lunches, and dinners at its international, IndoCeylon, Peking, R.A.W, M6m and Joie de Vivre restaurants. There are bottomless drinks with Champagne, whiskies, international beers, premium spirits, and more than 80 wines. There’s your complimentary mini-bar, topped up daily - even the champagne. There are unlimited snorkelling excursions and non-motorised water sports. And, the longer you stay, the more complimentary diving or spa treats you get.

We chose Ozen Life Maadhoo for our honeymoon and it was a fantastic decision, genuinely can't think of a bad thing to say about the place or staff. The facilities are brilliant, we had a Wind Villa without a pool and it was perfect, fantastic snorkling off the back, we saw loads of fish including a shark. The food overall was amazing including the buffet. My wife is a coeliac, the food is clearly labelled for an allergies plus the staff were a great help including the chefs who made her gluten-free pancakes. We were incredibly lucky to have Anu look after us, he helped organise our stay including a trip to the hydroponic garden, booking the tennis court, appointments at the spa and just generally being fantastic. Finally, I would highly recommend the snorkling with sharks, I was very nervous about it but so rewarding! Read less

What an amazing place, wonderful staff and the best All Inclusive option in the Maldives. From the moment you land in Male, the Ozen staff will take care of everything you need. We chose OLM to host our wedding with a few friends and we would thoroughly recommend this package to anyone thinking about getting married in the Maldives.

Great services! Faiko was the best butler from all 10 experiences that we have had în Maldives. We seen the guy only when we need his help. He respond (positively) to all our requests. Also great services at restaurants. They need to improve 2 thinks: some of the villa interiors must be replaced. The breakfast should be improved with much more european food. We have the chance to taste the exceptionel asian food at dinner or Lunch. But în the morning you need alsonsomething familiar. The all inclusive is not quite all that you need.... the mini bar stock should be improved. Overal excellent experience! Most probably we will return in the future. After we will read that they will refurbishing villa interiors. Thank you Faiko! Thanks to all the people from OZEN for beautiful holiday! Read less

My husband and I traveled from NY, USA for our honeymoon. Maldives is absolutely beautiful, and it does matter where you stay to enhance that experience further. Ozen Life Madhoo went above and beyond any expectations we had. This is truly world class 5 STAR Luxury at its finest. From when we arrived to the Airport, we were escorted by Ozen Staff to an air conditioned exclusive lounge while they checked our bags in and we waited for our boat transfer. The lounge accommodated with sifts drinks, tea/ coffee/water. Once we were escorted onto the boat, the boat was comfortable, soft drinks were also given along with water/ air conditioning and once we arrived we were welcomed with a beautiful traditional welcome where we automatically felt comfortable and excited to join this amazing experience. Our Butler, Shuhaadh was accommodating throughout our whole stay. We checked in which was very fast and easy. We were taken to our Overwater Villa with Private Pool that was immaculate. Shuhaadh arranged all itinerary / reservations and any excursions we wanted. He made sure from arrival to departure that we were taken care of. He made our Honeymoon so magical with special touches. Cleaning Service done by Aneesh was to perfection. He was always very helpful and sweet. Hussain at JDV bar was fantastic with amazing service and drinks! Augustina was an incredible DJ every night filling up the space with such ambiance and vibes! Couples massage by Sundari and Verni was amazing and so relaxing, this is a must! To say The Palms Restaurant and their entire Staff was outstanding is an understatement! Shazeen with his incredible staff made this vacation just that much more special, Dita, Saurabh had amazing hospitality and service making us feel a part of the family. Guru, Varun and Kelvin (Chefs) - their food was WOW (no words to describe how delicious!). We literally cried when we left, we felt like we were leaving our Maldivian family- with that being said we will be returning and are already looking four our next Holiday here at Ozen Life Madhoo. Thank you all for this beyond amazing experience. It’s not just the location that makes Maldives beautiful, it’s all of the wonderful people who made this trip memorable and special. We loved it!
