Villa Park Sun Island

Maldives, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

One of the largest resorts in the Maldives and Green Key certified, Villa Park Sun Island, really does have something for everyone. If your ultimate dream is to experience the stunning surroundings and get close to the colours of the natural world beneath the ocean, you can scuba dive, snorkel, or sail a catamaran in the pure blue water. Or if you prefer to catch up on some of that much needed rest and recuperation, perhaps some gentle fishing could be for you. On the other hand, if you feel your days are better spent horizontally you can take advantage of an aromatherapy treatment and massage, or simply sunbathe in a secluded cove with absolutely no sign of anyone, anywhere. This is just some of the advantages of this picturesque island in South Ari Atoll. For the evenings, the wealth of restaurants boast an excellent choice of cuisine from around the world, including Al Pontile (the overwater Italian restaurant) and treetop dining experience ZERO.

No complaints, cannot find a fault. Very friendly and helpful staff in all areas, with Pratik in the Vani Coffee bar making us feel exceptionally welcome. Food options leaving little to desire for. Really was our trip of a lifetime. Teena and Princy in the Spa were great and left us both feeling relaxed and well pampered.

Room cleaning is amazing 2 times a day and both times in detail cleaning. Food is awesome always something new and something for everybody (if something is missing it is almost the same second added with more) We even got 2 free nights (we were suppose to stay at a villa without the pool then we upgraded) Sea and beach are clean and amazing looking.
