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. There’s also light bites and signature serves at Eats & Beats and the freshest of seafood at Alifaan.

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

We had a wonderful experience at the Raddison Blu Maldives. From the prompt, kind, and attentive service of the staff, to the carefully tended to natural beauty of the island, to the array of delicious food and beverages, to the posh over-water villa, we had an exquisite experience.
