My partner and I, plus our two small children, stayed at Island Hideaway in October and I can honestly say that it was the best holiday I have ever had. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place but not at all glitzy, so don’t take your Jimmy Choos. It really is barefoot luxury and the scenery is breathtaking. We... more

I am posting some brief reviews of Maldives resorts visited over the past few years, to share information that might be useful to prospective visitors. The resort may of course have changed quite a bit since our visit. I am also leaving out the obvious - you would expect beautiful beaches and a warm ocean teeming with tropical fish, for... more

Split our time in the Maldives between I.H ( based on TA reviews) and Banyan Tree, Vabbinfaru ( tried and tested). There is the extra flight involved in getting to I.H, we flew with Emirates, who I have to say were excellent, and arrived in Male at around 8.30 am , our connection was at 10.30 so we had a... more

I absolutely loved this holiday, just got back yesterday evening after spending 10 lovely days there. Went with my parents.

He served us at breakfast and at dinner and organised anything we wanted to do. Thanks to my parents... more

Incidentally, some UK travel agents are pricing Cinnamon as the more expensive, don't judge on this, IH has <50 rooms... more

We are from Australia and when deciding where to go on our honeymoon, we wanted good food, great service and the feeling of being alone on a tropical island! We had a hard time deciding which resort to go to in the maldives as they all seemed so nice. We chose Island Hideaway and i must say it was the... more

Unbelievable spot, private villas with private beach and tranquil aqua waters! Lots of sea creatures to see. Highlight was spotting the 3 Eagle Ray right in front of our private beach...I was happy snapping photos of my son and wife in the water and I spotted the eagle rays playing and swimming through. Never seen an Eagle ray before this... more

Island Hideaway definitely provides the ultimate Robinson Crusoe escape island experience. It is extremely private as the villas are spacious and built far apart from each other. In fact you never really saw other guests except when eating / drinking at the islands restaurants or bar. I can imagine this could be a bit off putting if you were staying... more
