Just returned from a week at Safari Island with my partner, our first time in the Maldives and it exceeded our expectations! The island is gorgeous and our water bungalow was fantastic. Waking up to the stunning water views from our bed was incredible, and being able to step right into the clear water full of fish and reef sharks from our private steps was a highlight. We spent most of our time snorkeling in the sea, as there was so much to see. We also enjoyed the free snorkel boat trip. The staff were all amazing - friendly, helpful, and attentive. The restaurant staff, from our waiter to those serving the food, were particularly great at accommodating my gluten-free needs. They even had gluten-free pasta and bread available upon request. We would love to return in the near future - it was simply stunning!
The resort is absolutely beautiful, showcasing the true essence of the Maldives with its sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, water villas, and vibrant coral reefs teeming with fascinating marine life like fishes, sharks, rays, and turtles. It's quite secluded, making you feel like you're in a remote paradise, especially at night. It's a perfect place to escape from reality if that's what you're looking for. The food is delicious, offering a mix of Western and Asian cuisine. Just keep in mind that premium items are not included in the all-inclusive package. However, what truly sets this resort apart is the exceptional service provided by the staff. From the waiters in the restaurant to the villa cleaners, receptionists, and everyone else on the island, everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating.
