South Male Atoll hotel guide. Jumeirah hotel in South Male Atoll, Kaafu Atoll

"I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to this time. Our experience at Hard Rock Maldives was absolutely flawless from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of—even on the morning of our 5am departure, we were surprised with a delicious breakfast delivered right to our room. A special shoutout to Ibrahim, who went above and beyond throughout our stay. He was always available with a friendly smile, ready to drive us around the island in the buggy whenever we needed. The bicycles were also such a fun and relaxing way to explore the resort. And let’s not forget the food—every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. This resort truly knows how to deliver a luxury experience. Can’t wait to return!"

"We had a wonderful stay at Adaaran Club Rannalhi and would definitely recommend it to families and couples alike. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with a comprehensive and professional briefing by Ollie, who set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The stunning white sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, and excellent snorkelling make this a true Maldivian paradise. Whether you want to mingle or find a quiet corner to unwind, there’s plenty of space to do both. The buffet meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner were a standout — probably the best selection I’ve come across in my extensive travels. The food caters to a wide range of tastes and dietary needs. A special shoutout to Moosa in the restaurant — his warmth, humour, attentive service, and even napkin artistry added a personal touch that made every meal feel special. Housekeeping was also excellent, with twice-daily service that was always prompt and of high quality. A few areas for improvement: the inclusive drink selection is lacking — low-end spirits, frequently substituted brands, only one beer on tap, and cocktails made from overly sweet, pre-mixed syrups. Also, the spa services and excursions are priced far too high for the all-inclusive market segment the resort is targeting, which seems to deter many guests from taking part. Overall, a great resort with friendly service, incredible scenery and outstanding food — just a few tweaks would take it from great to exceptional."

"Amazing 10 days with fabulous staff "

"I had an amazing experience at this hotel — truly unforgettable! I want to extend a big thank you to Shifaz for the warm hospitality and especially to Kaula, who went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. The room was absolutely perfect — stunning views, incredible comfort, and everything was spot on. From the service to the ambiance, every detail was just wow. If you’re looking for a place that offers not just luxury but genuine care, this is it. I highly recommend this hotel — don’t even think twice. If you want to enjoy your stay to the fullest, this is the one. 💯"

"Ozen is a beautiful resort with exceptional service. Their staff is very friendly and the experience here is truly one of a kind. "

"The resort was beautiful and the staff were very accomodating"

"What a wonderful stay we had. The hotel is right on the bikini beach so you step out of the hotel and BAM beach time. The hotel is clean and fresh and everyone has their role to play. Great snorkeling experience and felt safe and well looked after. Meal options are fab and the buffet dinner is a treat. We stayed in the deluxe room with balcony, room 1704 and it was amazing to see the sun set, beach from our bed. We met Anisur whilst dinning and he was always so friendly with us. Giving us tips off lovely food and drinks to try at that time. He was attentive with our dishes and drinks and always was very respectful and happy and smiling. A true asset as out a lot of other staff we met but couldn't remember there names. Absolutely recommend this hotel and look forward to coming again."

"One of the best resorts I've ever visited "

"Incredible experience with a truly amazing staff. Rooms were a little warn down but the property and privacy/quiet nature of the resort itself helped absorb that one fault. Will absolutely be back! "
