The BEST resort
One of the best family holidays that we have been to. Zeeshan hands down the best butler he helped us throughout our stay and fulfilled all of our request. All of the staff there were amazing too. Friendly and always ready to help. Resort wise, it was magical. Overall, my wife and my 2 boys and myself enjoyed very much. Will definitely come back again.
A true 5-star escape — worth every mile of the journey
I picked Ayada Maldives based on its TripAdvisor reviews, and I didn't regret it for a second. This is a genuine five-star resort that lives up to every bit of the hype. The house reef is the star of the show. It's in pristine, perfect condition, and you can swim straight from your villa out to the reef drop-off with ease — no long boat rides required. Once you're there, you're greeted by an incredible variety of coral and fish, right on your doorstep. The dive center team deserves special mention too: friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. We joined one of their aquarium snorkel tours, and it was worth every single penny — don't miss it. The rooms are beautiful and lovely, and the housekeeping team did a wonderful job keeping everything spotless each day while happily accommodating every request we made. On dining — there aren't a huge number of restaurant options, but the variety of food is excellent and they shift the theme slightly every day, so it never felt repetitive. I also have to give real credit to the general manager, Simon Quarrell, who keeps the resort in absolutely perfect shape. Honestly, I've never seen a hotel GM show up every single day, in a different restaurant each time, just to talk to guests. That level of hands-on care sets the tone for the whole place. One practical tip: the resort is quite far from Malé (MLE) airport, so you'll likely need to spend your first night at a hotel near the airport before continuing on. Well worth planning for — and well worth the trip. Highly recommended, and a resort I'd happily return to.
Amazing Drone Photoshoot
We had such a great experience with the drone photoshoot at the hotel! A huge thank you to Inaz, who did an amazing job. He was super professional, friendly, and really paid attention to every detail. You could tell he genuinely cared about getting the best shots for us. Thank you so much, Inaz, for your great work!
A trip to paradise
Our stay at Ayada Maldives exceeded every single expectation. It was truly magical from start to finish! This was our very first trip to the Maldives, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. We stayed in Beach Villa 216 with our 12-year-old daughter, and everything was perfect. The villa was beautiful, private, and just steps away from the stunning turquoise water. A special mention to Mark and Graig who even prayed for us to see dolphins 😀 Mark constantly checked in to make sure everything was perfect, and their kindness and attention made us feel so welcome. The food was outstanding, especially at Magu Restaurant. Chef Tulsi deserves a huge thank you for taking such great care of us. every night he made sure our daughter got her favorite pizza! special thanks to Insani and big hug to Rashi for his cheerfulness and good mood every morning. At Zero Degree, the staff were incredibly friendly and polite — thank you Hakan, Ali, and Fitri for your warm service and smiles. A massive thank you to everyone at the Dive Kingdom for their professionalism and enthusiasm and the biggest shout-out goes to the Jet Ski team, who gave us the best two afternoons of our lives! Also The snorkeling at Ayada is out of this world, crystal-clear waters, colorful corals, and so much marine life. All in all, Ayada Maldives is exceptional in every way. We left with full hearts, wonderful memories, and a strong wish to return soon which we will next October!.Thank you to every single person who made our stay unforgettable
