VARU by Atmosphere - All Inclusive with Free Transfers
"Everyone was amazing! The island is full of adventure and relaxation, the all inclusive aspect is really there if thatโs what your looking for"
OBLU NATURE Helengeli - All-Inclusive with Free Transfers
"The rooms was cleaned daily, food was great, I have a few allergies and they could not do enough for me, cooking me specially meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner highly recommend. This is the place to come if you love snorkelling not if you want to walk out on a sand bar. All the staff were great"
Silver Oasis Maldives
"We loved everythingโฆin particular the very friendly, helpful and professional staff.Thank you"
Meeru Maldives Resort Island
"This is a beautiful island and well worth a visit. The waterfront villas were perfect and had everything you could possibly need. Food was excellent, and that included the buffet breakfast, buffet lunch and buffet dinner. There was plenty of choice and it was great quality too. We also used all 4 of the ร la carte restaurants which were also excellent. The beaches were wonderful and the sea was the typical turquoise green as you see in the photos of the Maldives. Pools also looked great, although we didnโt use them. The island is about 2km in circumference and very easy and enjoyable to walk around. You could request golf buggy transportation whenever you needed it which was very useful. Drinks and extras were expensive if you were not on an all inclusive package (US$14 for a beer) so that is something to be aware of. Apart from that, a perfect tropical island retreat! ๐๏ธ"

Joy Island
"What an incredible place! The views, the peace, the sheer beauty, everything was all we wanted and more. The staff are incredibly helpful and the kindest we have ever encountered. Naseem was our island host who felt more like a friend, helpful, attentive and caring. Ravi, the cleaner for our beach villas was faultless! He works so hard and kept everywhere pristine, was always happy and left beautiful decorations on our bed using grass reeds! Puja, our favourite waitress in the market, took care of our family of six at every meal time. There are so many people to thank for our amazing stay! We will be back again one day! We miss everyone and everything about this place. If you are undecided where to go, Joy Island should definitely be somewhere you pick!!"
