The name may not be as well known worldwide like other luxury brands but Ayada Maldives can compete with the best of them, Four Seasons, Jumeirah, Conrad and Taj.
Whilst the journey is around 2 hours from Male (1 hour domestic flight and 1 hour boat journey) it is well worth it when you step onto this stunning resort. There is a closer domestic airport currently under development and once this opens then the journey would be 1 hour domestic flight and 15 minute boat journey.
The Maldivian welcome on the arrival (local Bodu Beru Band) is a lovely first impression.
The island is stunning, with dense vegetation, winding paths covered by Palm Trees and spectacular views of the Indian Ocean.
The Villas are spacious, and luxurious furnished and decorated with a Turkish/Moroccan feel. Plenty of vegetation around the villas allows for privacy.
The bathrooms feature indoor and outdoor showers, a large bath tube and his and her vanity units. The bathrooms come complete with good quality bathroom amenities.
With the exception of the Garden Villas, all Villa categories come complete with plunge pool and oversize day bed.
Interconnecting Beach Villas are available for families.
The Ocean Villas exude the same quality of luxury, with spectacular views of the never ending ocean and direct access the warm waters and easy access to the house reef.
The main restaurant Magu offers in door and out door seating and serves buffet style meals.
The Tappenyaki restaurant was a great experience. The food was plentiful, delicious and the Chef was very entertaining. Dinning under the stars, with ice around your feet to cool you down from the heat from the flames as the Chef serves you up a delicious 8 course meal.
The Kai restaurant serves up an Asian journey experience and is set amongst the tropical vegetation.
