Adaaran Prestige Water Villas ★★★★★

We stayed in Water Villas and the private premium service is great. Adam, our personal concierge, took such a great care of us and made sure our stay was memorable. The Water Villas restaurant, while at first didn't meet our expectations, after we made our wishes clear, they not only improved, but exceeded our expectations. Chef Nuwan and his colleagues were amazing. Our server Ifaau (sp?) went beyond and above. All staff at the resort just makes the stay a really pleasant experience. If we ever returned to Maldives, we won't hesitate to return to this resort.

The staff were all very helpful. They often already knew I needed gluten-free meals, so I helped point out what I could have and what they could adapt for me. Our butler Niyaz helped us book excursions and meals and gave us interesting information on the local wildlife, which is plentiful. The complimentary snorkle equipment was the most useful thing this holiday. We spent most days going for at least one snorkle around the home reef, with its hundreds of fish species and ocean life. It was like swimming in an aquarium. We even got to see a few turtles on our swims. The cocktails were lovely, plentiful, and not weakly poured. The bed was huge and super comfortable. And we were thankful we could turn the light on the aircon unit off. The curtains even blocked out most light for sleep, which was brilliant. The back jacuzzi was wonderful, sitting in that whilst a storm rolled by with a cocktail and canapes in hand was a wonderful experience. I can not recommend enough going to Hanifaru Bay. We got to swim with feeding manta rays who came so close that they would sweep past and touch us slightly. Such giant majestic creatures, really it was a magical experience.

I can't think of much here. Occasionally the villa pool wouldn't be manned but we could call for what we wanted.

Arne best holiday I have ever been on. Too many reasons to list. Thank you to Adam who made the stay so comfortable.

Nothing.

The water villas were right on the reef so had great snorkelling. They also came with an exceptional restaurant and a personal butler.

Not much to be honest.

Everything is to like about the property. To start, I travelled in my own and was a bit apprehensive trying to choose a good 5* place in Maldives to cater for my needs of having a relaxing time away from the noise and cold of London for 2 weeks, good service, excellent food and variety of choices, I am so glad I chose the Adaaran Water Villas!: the location of the water villas cannot be better, snorkelling is fantastic, it was a fantastic exclusive place, as I wanted it to be. My butler Chandan was extremely kind and very respectful during the whole stay, reminding me of bookings I had and taking me every time to the spa treatments I booked in the golf car they have to transport guests in the island. he also helped me with reservations and gave me advice during my stay. he was available 24x7 (not that I called him at funny hours! but I knew he would be there in case of an emergency etc) The food is second to none in the water village exclusive restaurant and the service of Human, Asim and so many others made the whole stay to feel at home while being on holidays, really cannot fault anything! thank you for an unforgettable stay!

none!

Really well executed transfer from the hotel, and resort intorduction upon arrival. Great room with swim in -swim out facilities for those keen on snorkelling. Really great staff - always happy and smiling and keen to make sure our stay went well

One one minor issue was the level of the music coming from one of the resort bars - could have been turned down particularly after 22.00 / 23.00 when many people had turned in for the night.

We had a wonderful stay at the water villas and can highly recommend it! We didn’t have to lift a finger - everything we needed was just a call to butler away, and the food in restaurant was delicious and well-balanced. Menu was changing everyday, and we could choose from many different options. In fact, we were so content with Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner menus that we forgot to try ordering evening finger food or visit the ice cream hour. We enjoyed the high tea several times though and it was a lovely touch. There was also a big selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails which was a pleasant addition to the holiday. Service was good and not pushy, all personnel we interacted with was friendly and pleasant. I would like to note that room cleaning totally exceeded our expectations! It was not only extra clean every day, but even the smallest items were put together in a super organized manner, including charging cables and hair bands. We loved our stay and are willing to come back.

The location and Villas, being so close to the reef and the sealife. The staff are also exceptional.

The shower could be better. The food at the restaurants were excellent but would be good to see more by way of grilled fish and seafood, and Maldivian cuisine.

Loved the staff all were so warm & thoughtful - and especially Niyaz, Homam, Shivan, Devi Rani and Iyaz- who went out of their way to make guests have an amazing experience! The water Villa was perfect especially being able to step off our deck into the water to snorkel on that stunning reef - wonderful! Food was fabulous too - particularly the wonderful curries made by Shivan “Iceman’ and in the Indian restaurant.

The gym was very tired, poorly equipped and not very clean - not matching a resort of this standard.

an amazing 16 days with the Adaaran Prestige Team. everyone made for an unforgettable stay

the resort manager . he is not polite and don’t respect customers

Spa was lovely very relaxing.

Draws in the bedroom as only one small one in the whole room.

We loved the reef and the water villas, a lot of food choices with 5 restaurants. Special thanks to our butler Raj and Niez. The massages at the spa were very good. All in all we really enjoyed ourselves at Adaaran.
