South Ari Atoll accommodation from NZ$278

A Truly Unforgettable Stay! We recently returned from a stay at this stunning resort in the Maldives, and while the natural beauty is truly breathtaking - from the crystal-clear waters to the serene beaches and luxurious villas - it's the people who made our experience genuinely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and gracious hospitality. Every staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our stay as special as possible. It's rare to feel so seen and cared for while traveling, but here, it felt effortless on their part. A special mention must go to Chef Prasad, whose culinary talents left us speechless. Not only was every meal absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, but Chef Prasad also took the time to personalize dishes and share stories behind the flavors, adding a heartfelt and memorable touch to each dining experience. We would also like to give a heartfelt thank you to Vinet, Basim, Aalif, Musak, Nashid, Soban, Narsu, Das, Tshering, Zar, Thoriq(John), Bosan, Pilu, Riley and Shifau, who each went above and beyond in their own ways. Whether it was anticipating our needs before we even asked, sharing local insights, or simply greeting us with a genuine smile every day, they all played a part in making our trip feel more like a homecoming than a holiday. We can’t wait to return!

Honestly, one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! The resort was absolutely WOW in every detail and the staff were amazing. Every single day was full of fun and we never felt bored, not even for a moment. We regretted not booking more nights because it was truly one of the most unforgettable vacations. Everything exceeded our expectations – we can’t wait to come back again soon

Excellent resort
