"We absolutely loved our stay at OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi. The staff were incredible—so warm, attentive, and genuinely made our experience extra special. We stayed in a family beach villa and had requested beforehand to be placed on the first floor. They accommodated our request, and we ended up with a lower-level villa that opened straight out to the beach—such a beautiful and convenient setup. For an all-inclusive resort, the food really stood out. It was not just good—it was honestly the best we’ve had compared to other all-inclusive resorts we’ve been to. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared and enjoyable. Overall, such a fun, relaxing, and memorable stay. We would definitely come back."

"The restaurants (not the buffet) had delicious food. The breakfast buffet was also very good. There were a couple common drinks not available to order and I thought the swimming at the over water villas should be open the same time as the pool. The transport there and back was a bit pricey. Everyone was friendly and the excursion we did was great. We also enjoyed the music at the dance parties. "

"Great resort, with lots of restaurants to pick from. We loved getting around the island with the bikes. It’s great for couples and families with kids. Note: The water was very shallow by Platinum villas and although ocean view you are facing the city. If I had to go again I would pick the Diamond Suites. "

"Welcoming!"

"Room was ok but a little small as under the impression we had booked a ocean facing room. Room has a few knocks here and there with the decor. Staff very attentive, helpful and polite and cannot say anything bad about them. The breakfast was ok but not for us as caters more for Asia guests, but thats fine. It is facing the sea and therefore the location was very good and only 15 mins from the airport and nowhere near the hussle and bussle of Malè city centre. Overall very good stay."

"Staff were amazin. the transfer was amazing. the room was very noisy"

"Clean room, housekeeping assigned to our room did a wonderful job everyday. Staff are excellent, kind, friendly, very knowledgeable who we connected with. There are few names that went above and beyond for service and made us feel at home are Sanjeev, Maria, Birendra, Layaan, Nur and Ankit. Not forgetting the Managers Ajay and Tee are awesome. Beach view is the greatest. Turquoise warm clear water. We stayed in over the water villa which was mind blowing. Definitely going back. "

"Our honeymoon at Villa Nautica was unforgettable! We stayed in a Water Villa for six nights, and we had the most amazing time from activities to food to drinks. Our host, Zameer, was fantastic, he handled our reservations, minibar restocks, and explained our package perfectly. At the Lagoon buffet the service was unforgettable. The Chef personally guided my vegan husband through the menu, our waiters (Arjun, Salman, and Tharun) were incredibly sweet and always remembered our drink orders. Novi at the Lagoon front desk was very sweet, helpful, kind and funny. Kartik was a great instructor for our Discover Scuba experience. We had so much fun diving! We loved the Captain’s Bar, since the waiters were so attentive and knowledgeable about the drinks. We tried the sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi for the first time and that was so much fun. The all inclusive package was definitely worth it! We enjoyed delicious drinks, the incredible Japanese restaurant, and snacks at Dhaavani. Having snorkeling gear, canoes, and the sunset fishing tour included made the trip even more fun and memorable. I want to thank the entire team for making our honeymoon so special!"
