Hotels with Spa in South Male Atoll, Kaafu Atoll

"We had an absolutely brilliant family holiday for a week over New Year! Everything was so easy, with special thanks to our hotel ‘connector’ who organised all of our wishes and was super responsive! No ask was too much. The food options were excellent, hotel comfortable and family friendly…. With something to do for all ages. The staff were some of the friendliest I’ve come across in luxury hotels and paid attention to all the fine details. The New Years Eve gala was quite impressive - the largest spread of all types of food, from grilled lobster, crab and oyster bar, sushi, Indian, freshly made papaya salad to name a few!! The band and fireworks were fantastic and the service was excellent for such a large event. Thank you to all of the staff who made our stay so fabulous and memorable!"

"The property is very clean and well maintained. Really felt very comfortable and very well taken care of. "

"Our stay at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa in the Deluxe Overwater Villa with Pool was absolutely fantastic and truly memorable. From the very beginning, the experience was seamless. The airport pickup was extremely smooth — the Taj team was already present before we arrived, handled our luggage, and escorted us to the speedboat that took us to the island without any hassle. Check-in was quick and effortless, and we were assigned a dedicated staff member who stayed in touch with us throughout our stay and took care of every requirement promptly. A special shoutout to the housekeeping team — their service was simply exceptional. Every time we stepped out of the villa and returned, the room felt like it was prepared fresh for day one. This happened multiple times a day, and honestly, I’m still amazed at how perfectly they managed it. The entire stay was truly relaxing. Not even for a single moment did we face any issues or feel the need to follow up on anything — everything was handled proactively and with genuine care. Thank you, Taj Exotica, for such a flawless and luxurious experience. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to return!"

"Spotless room, Excellent service and outstanding setting. Highly recommend "

"Excellent location"

"The beach villa is nice. Close to a small beach. You can walk to any place from the room, but the facility sends you a buggy to pick you up and drop you anywhere you like. The room is clean, the staff is super friendly at all times. Balcony faces the beach but there is some green and some trees in between. Still nice private room."

"We really enjoyed our stay - the service and attention to guests is some of the best we have experienced. We loved the bikes, watersports centre and the spa. The planting and little details in the plant areas on the island are really lovely. We liked our overwater villa size, layout and sunset view (although the new Mandarin Oriental being built nearby slightly detracts). The decor does need an update soon though (eg. Loungers are clunky to adjust, tiles in the pool are a little jagged and the bath is unusable). We liked all the restaurants (especially saffron and soyi), our experience of Origin was less good due to a large table with loud adults and kids and the fish menu wasn’t as good as I was expecting. Champagne generously flowed and was a nice one. We thought the red wine list would benefit from an extra option with a bit more oomph (eg a. Malbec). However overall a really enjoyable holiday. "

"Stunning resort with all amenities the staff cares about you all times , Excellent experience "

"Veli is an amazing resort to visit. I cannot say enough about the staff at Veli. They were all so attentive to our needs and did everything in their capabilities to keep us happy. I really appreciated the management cocktail party because it gave us a chance to meet everyone who makes Veli such a wonderful experience. Loved Rifau, Prem, Ruth, and all the others who made our experience possible. "
