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.

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.

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!

Soban, Vineet, Anil and all the Indian staff were very cooperative and their hospitality was very good. The water sports are expensive and scuba was not as expected. Our host Moby was very helpful through out our vacation. Our overall honeymoon was a pleasant experience.

Dear Radisson Blu Team Me and my husband visited Radission Blu to celebrate a special occasion and spent 3 days there. We stayed in a lovely lagoon villa and the room was amazing. Sparkling clean, very romantic vibes and a beautiful set up. We had a warm welcome by our host Cheran and all staff with many surprises awaiting in the room. The water sports were so existing and the trainers were so caring and made sure that we are safe while having fun. The best part of our visit was food. All our requests were warmly accommodated by chefs and staff in Raha, Alifaan & Chusoe’s restaurants. Our heartfelt gratitude and a very special thanks goes to Executive Chef Brandy, Chef Prasad, Chef Sajith, Chef Indika and Ruwan. Your dedication and willingness to go out of the way to make us feel welcome, happy and have the best time ever is amazing and commendable. When we leave today, we are leaving with the expectation of visiting all you beautiful people very soon. Thank you all for making this tour such a memorable one and we look forward to seeing you all again very soon. Take care and all the best!! Dinali & Hashan Read less

Everything was perfect start to finish. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was incredible. Activities were plentiful and fun. We deeply wanted to see and swim with a whale shark and our first outing was unsuccessful. We tried again and it looked like our second attempt would fail too but our guides NaFiz, Umair, and Rageeb went the extra mile and took a little while longer and we ended up finding one. Enterally grateful that they went above and beyond to give us that experience. We would go again and not change a thing. Read less
