The hotel

This is no ordinary Maldivian island. Sure it has the turquoise lagoon, powdery sands, and overwater and beachfront villas (all with sunrise or sunset views and some with butler service or lap pools) but, OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, Maldives brings something new to the beach: their Indulgence All Inclusive plan. 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 went there for our honeymoon. It was truly, truly comfortable and fantastic! The staff were kind and made it easy to spend time there. It gave me a warm feeling. There were many honeymoon perks as well. The butler, Mr. Blue, was incredibly kind and attentive; he was the best.

We stayed at a beach villa with pool. The pool was large enough to swim. There were two thick wooden drinking stands in front of the bed, but I felt that a normal table would be easier to use. We enjoyed breakfast and lunch at Palm Restaurant, but PEKIN is recommended for dinner. We also enjoyed the free sunset fishing and sunset cruise. The resort staff were all kind and cheerful. We are especially grateful to Taka, the guide at the diving center, for all her help. And we were very lucky to encounter manta rays at Manta Point. Read less
