The resort is absolutely beautiful, showcasing the true essence of the Maldives with its sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, water villas, and vibrant coral reefs teeming with fascinating marine life like fishes, sharks, rays, and turtles. It's quite secluded, making you feel like you're in a remote paradise, especially at night. It's a perfect place to escape from reality if that's what you're looking for. The food is delicious, offering a mix of Western and Asian cuisine. Just keep in mind that premium items are not included in the all-inclusive package. However, what truly sets this resort apart is the exceptional service provided by the staff. From the waiters in the restaurant to the villa cleaners, receptionists, and everyone else on the island, everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Our time at Safari Island Resort was absolutely amazing. The resort not only has stunning bungalows, but also offers an exceptional dining experience. One highlight was the barbecue dinner, where Anura and his team created incredible dishes that left us speechless. Anura's friendly demeanor always brought a smile to our faces, and his dedication to ensuring every guest was satisfied truly stood out. We are grateful to Anura for the unforgettable culinary experiences. Another standout was the delicious cocktails mixed by Adu Miah. Each evening, he treated us to his creative concoctions, adding a special touch to our nights. Adu's passion for cocktail making was evident and never failed to impress. However, the true treasure of Safari Island Resort is the team behind these experiences. Their exceptional friendliness and attentive service immediately made us feel welcomed and appreciated. It was clear that they carried out their work with joy and dedication, going above and beyond to make our stay truly special. Overall, we had an incredible time at Safari Island Resort, thanks in large part to the outstanding team. Thank you for the unforgettable memories.

The service is good, the food is average, and the location is fantastic. There are sharks, mantas, and a variety of colorful fish, but there is no danger. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit!

The water villa was stunning and provided just the right amount of shade for a cool retreat. The food was tasty and the staff was incredibly friendly 😊 We highly recommend taking a private boat ride to spot mantas or sharks and to snorkel in the remote waters. It was an unforgettable experience!

Just returned from a week at Safari Island with my partner, our first time in the Maldives and it exceeded our expectations! The island is gorgeous and our water bungalow was fantastic. Waking up to the stunning water views from our bed was incredible, and being able to step right into the clear water full of fish and reef sharks from our private steps was a highlight. We spent most of our time snorkeling in the sea, as there was so much to see. We also enjoyed the free snorkel boat trip. The staff were all amazing - friendly, helpful, and attentive. The restaurant staff, from our waiter to those serving the food, were particularly great at accommodating my gluten-free needs. They even had gluten-free pasta and bread available upon request. We would love to return in the near future - it was simply stunning!
