The hotel

It’s hard to return to everyday life after a stay at OZEN Reserve Bolifushi: the very definition of luxury. Your beach villa is entirely secluded, but still gives direct access to the beach or lagoon, putting you just a swim from one of South Malé Atoll’s healthiest house reefs and five shipwrecks. At your villa, every luxury awaits: an oversized L-shaped pool (you can swim from your bathroom, around your villa, to your terrace), semi-open rain showers, interactive TVs, even adjustable mood lighting. In fact, it will be impossible to holiday anywhere else after you’ve lazed on the daybeds enjoying cocktails at B4R, dined with your feet in the sand at Mu Beach Bar, woken early for yoga in the spa garden and sunk into the massage table in an overwater treatment room. And, with one of the Maldives’ largest kids' clubs and Ice Ice Maybe, the Maldives' first ice rink built from artificial 'Glice', who can disagree?

Where is it

In the South Malé Atoll, on the island of Bolifushi, surrounded by one of its healthiest house reefs, just 20-800 metres from five shipwrecks for diving. You’ll be welcomed on arrival in Malé and taken to the resort’s airport lounge where fresh coffee and homemade cookies await. Board a luxurious catamaran for a 20-minute scenic ride past tropical islands to your resort.

Booked this for our honeymoon and I must say our stay here was beyond perfect. We booked their much hyped slide pool villa, and it definitely was worth the hype!! The resort is beautiful but the real quality arises from the service provided by the wonderful staff. The island is magical. From a great photo shoot session to a relaxing spa, all in all it was beyond expectations!

I've visited Jumeirah Vittaveli when they introduced the Royal Residence which is $36,000 per night and can accommodate up to 10 people. Royal Residence was built on a secluded side of the main resort island equipped with its own arrival jetty, 2 swimming pools, a restaurant with personal chefs, a gym and an 8-seater Jacuzzi. It was a very short luxury speed boat ride from Male'. The speed boat was very comfortable with its sofa, free WiFi and bumpy-free ride. The Island is huge and the water villa design is very eye-caching. All the villas are very luxury and the facilities. Certainly, its a resort under Jumeirah Group. They have variety of dinning options to fall in love. What I do not like is, their staffs & the service. Staffs barely smile or greet. I have noticed they give priority for the high class guests which is terrible in hospitality industry. I believe this will be improved under new franchised brand Ozen. I do recommend the resort for families, couples and anyone who is specifically seeking privacy on accommodation. Read less

I was at Jumeirah Vittevali for their grand opening of their brand new villas. The resort was 20-minutes luxury yacht ride from Male' Airport and it was an absolute ride. No bumping on rough water, very comfortable sofa seats, free wifi... You would feel like you are in the sky. Once in the resort, their customer service is outstanding.… Read more

No bumping on rough water, very comfortable sofa seats, free wifi... You would feel like you are in the sky. Once in the resort, their customer service is outstanding. Beautifully designed luxury villas, huge bathrooms, decent size of private pools, private villas if you are looking for privacy. Plenty of dinning options to dine-in. A huge gym with a nice instructor, award winning spa, plenty of water sports to select, certified dive center... I wish to go back again with my family soon in future. Read less

The one star is because the resort put our life in danger and i don't trust them anymore. ITS NOT A KID FRIENDLY PLACE. Please don't go here with your kids atleast. When we were returning from the hotel to the airport we had the worst experience on their "luxury" boat. My little sibling was standing outside when the boat suddenly started shaking like crazy. After a minute we realised that he was standing outside so I ran out to get him to find him holding onto the railing petrified. The drivers did not understand english nor did they warn us about the waves or give us life jackets. We felt sick in our stomach, on my way back after getting him I fell from my seat, the glass jars on the table broke. We kept asking them what is going on and received no response and blank stares, its like they didn't understand us at all. I don't get how can they put all our lives in danger and especially the child who would have literally flown off into the water if we had not acted. The "5 star luxury" hotel refused to take any responsibility for our experience and this is why I won't be returning. Read less
