"Very nice resort with a friendly, accommodating staff who go above and beyond. Their dive program is handled with the utmost professionalism and I felt safe diving with them. The villas are kept clean and fresh every morning and with a turn down service at night. Several restaurants are on site, as well as the buffet. The resort is in very good condition. Bicycles are included with each villa which makes getting around very easy. Each villa has a villa host who is very helpful. Everything is scheduled via an app which made it super easy to book dinner and spa reservations. Highly recommend!"

10/10 Excellent
"Maldives meets White Lotus. Dusit Thani was a dream destination. The lush vegetation and beautifully kept grounds were paradise. Although there were a ton of things to do (restaurants and activities), we chose to do absolutely nothing but relax and soak in the beauty of the island. The staff and service are 5 star. The food was so fresh and delicious. I would definitely return for a longer stay. "
"This was the absolute best resort experience I’ve ever had. The resort is the only one on a private island. The staff is so kind and thoughtful and no detail is overlooked. We booked this trip as a one-in-a-lifetime experience and it BY FAR exceeded our expectations! If you are interested in going to the Maldives, look no further. It was truly a dream come true!"
"A True Slice of Paradise
From the moment you step onto the island, you know you’ve arrived in true paradise. I’ve traveled to many countries and stayed at various hotels and resorts, but I can confidently say this experience sets a new standard — offering a level of luxury and uniqueness that’s truly unforgettable.
We were warmly welcomed by our personal concierge, Poula, who went above and beyond to make us feel like royalty. He and his team arranged a stunning private dinner setup and helped us book an incredible professional photographer. We ended up purchasing two albums because we simply couldn’t choose from all the amazing photos.
This place gave us the perfect balance of peace and adventure. We originally came to celebrate our anniversary but were gifted a once-in-a-lifetime experience we will never forget. I’ll definitely miss this place and can’t wait to return with my family."
