The location and the resort are amazing. White beaches, lots of fish and clear water. Take shoes to get in the water as there are rocks, but it's where most of the fish are! The staff was incredibly polite and available all the time. They clean the room twice a day! Even the activities offered are nice, all depends on the weather of course, but we managed to go for a snorkeling trip, kayak and sunset cruise. The restaurant is very nice, good variety of dishes 😋 be aware of mosquitos! They do a fumigation every day but it's not enough. There is a recreation centre with table tennis, pool and other games as well as the bar (with amazing mocktails) and the pool area. You can go for a nice walk on the beach all the way to the end of the island. In the evening, lots of crabs come from the sand, but they are harmless. We really enjoyed our stay! Ps: Saabina at the restaurant was pur favourite, super polite and friendly!

They could cover the desserts at the restaurant from the flies, like they do with the salads. Maybe some other evening entertainment.

- Beach front room was very nice, modern and clean - It is a very beautiful and quiet island. I always found an empty part of the beach just for myself if wanted (It was not high season though) - No alcohol policy was Ok but very expensive moctails and non-alcoholic drinks. Water was included to lunch/dinner and they filled two bottles in my room twice a day. I appriciated that very much - Nice pool area and facilities

- Breakfast selection was not for my full taste. missed fresh juices, more fruits and healthy options. Coffee was good - dinner and lunch ok. Quality was not standard. Some days were better than others - one staff member was ”too friendly”. He made me feel uncomfortable with his questions about my profession etc. I acted as I did not understand his question as I did not feel like talking about my personal or worklife. otherwise staff was very nice, caring and professional

We reviewed all resorts and came to the conclusion that our honeymoon was going to be at Fiyavalhu. It was the only resorts that met all criteria within our price range. And Fiyavalhu did not disappoint. The service was just amazing. Biggest highlight has to be the food. First off the chef, waiters and Food & Beverage Manager continued to check up on us daily to see if everything was good. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, all were perfect. There was a different menu every day full with meat/fish/vegan options. There were not many guests on the island so the resort was super private/exclusive and the service was personal. Everything we asked for was provided for no extra charge (UK->EU adapters, DEET mosquito spray). All sea plane travels were planned by the resort. We received clear and timely instructions on when to checkout and depart. All facilities were clean.

Even though there was pest control twice a day, there were still mosquitos after us on the island. Luckily the resort provided us with extra DEET spray. There were watersport activities but it felt limited during our stay (e.g. there was no duo canoe, waterscooter). Apparently the latter was arriving in the same week so we just missed it. The resort is still adding more watersport activities.

I was thoroughly impressed with the facilities, room, and staff. Maryam at the reception was particularly amazing, making our stay even more enjoyable. Mia and Charlie at the Diving Center were incredibly helpful and contributed to making our vacation perfect. I highly recommend the Dolphin View and Turtle Snorkeling tours to everyone.

Leaving :)

- The alpha & omega of this resort is the staff. So friendly, smiling and willing staff I haven't experienced yet! From the cleaning service to the restaurant staff to the reception - all of them are very helpful and you have felt that they are only for you there! A huge praise for the personal manager who is in charge of this. - You often feel like the island is just for you. Great privacy. This is perfect for INTROVERTS. - Resort was very clean including beaches. - The village walk tour outside the resort was amazing and strongly recommend to you if you want to see how the local people live! Big thank to the Zee (If I remember correctly the name) from reception for a guide.

- When I asked about transfer from the Male international airport to the resort I got two choices of transfer - seaplane and airplane + speedboat. We chose seaplane because it must be a super experience but then they were answered to us there is only airplane + speedboat variant.

Everything was well planned and on time. The air conditioning was VERY controllable. The staff were efficient and friendly.

Perhaps a few more sun beds could have been available.

it’s halal that’s mean no alcoholic drinks and it’s friendly staff

There are few elements which have made this place and our stay special for us 1. Nice, sincere, responsive people and-end-to end service. We were surrounded by attention and support - at the reception, in restaurant, in villa. Special thanks to Eva and Bipana who helped our kid to recover from dehydration and find right food 🙂 2. Excellent, new villa. We stayed in a beach villa and i highly recommend it. Well equipped, with nice layout, amazing view and just few meters from ocean. We felt like at home from day 1. 3. Cool play room with hockey, soccer, billiard, tennis - we have spent quite some time playing there with entire family. 4. Nice food throughout a day - all for your choice, including several meat dishes, fish, fruits and deserts. We took All Inclusive package and it worked very well for us.

2 or 3 sentences can't sum up this delightful island. The wonderful and friendly staff. The facilities, food, service, including more excursions and watersports than I can mention. Go for the peace and tranquility and relaxing Spa treatments or for the amazing and exhilarating activities on offer. I stayed for 21 nights in September and it's an experience I would recommend to anybody; of any nationality, culture or religion. Fiyavalhu caters for everyone's individual needs. Rooms are cleaned at least twice a day + a turn down service in the evening. Whilst it is a non alcoholic island there is a Gin Palace called 'The Safari' moored approximately 20 meters off the jetty for those who enjoy a tipple. There is also a games room, well equipped gym and resort shop. The native barman at the bar situated by the infinity pool offers a very efficient poolside service and an amazing variety of fruit cocktails. Room service was available 24/7 and there is a well run concierge and reception service. I arrived at Male and took the domestic route (Internal flight + speedboat) and returned to Male via seaplane. I enjoyed both. To the many staff I now consider as friends and those who work silently behind the scenes to keep the resort beautiful, I thank you all. I simply can't name all of the pluses and am struggling to think of a single, justifiable negative!

There is one unusual, but necessary procedure which takes place at around 5pm. It is called de-fogging. It lasts for no more than 10-15 minutes per evening and essentially rids the resort of mosquitoes. The fog clears very quickly. Rooms are also equipped with a plug in mosquito repellant. I took my own with me anyway and am glad to have done so, placing one either side of the enormous bed. I am an absolute mosquito attractor, yet in 21 days was only bitten a few times, no more than in any other country I have visited. So, for me anyway it was NOT really a negative.

Excellent service, full privacy, very clean and comfy. Many thanks to everybody who helped in our stay especially Rizleen, Kath and Arees for making our stay special.

nothing, all was perfect
