After searching through so many hotels in the Maldives we chose the Royal Island and so glad we did! There's nothing quite like getting on a sea plane and flying to our own island in the middle of the ocean. If you don't like flying I would not recommend staying here (or I'm sure there would be a boat' but... More

This was our first visit to the Maldives and we think that we chose well.Our first impression was how friendly and helpful the staff were.The whole island was spotlessly clean including our bungalow.Teams of men swept the beach and paths every day.The restaurant had a wide range of food to suit most tastes but we preferred to try the local...

We booked a last minute trip to unwind from the rat race. The resort can be reached by turbo prop 30 minutes from Male Hulele airport and 15 minutes by boat or by Twin Otter sea plane 40 minutes. With 150 rooms, i.e. beach bungalows it is not too big. GENERAL Please bear in mind that you are in a... More

We stayed in the really superb beach villas, which were spacious, nicely decorated, with a beach terrace. There is a shower inside and outside. You just step out of your villa onto the beach and are right at a beautiful resort reef with excellent snorkeling. The snorkel gear was free. We also did some dives and found the school to... More
