Wow, what an amazing trip!

The location was awesome, sunsets, outstanding!
This really was the perfect holiday. The staff were impeccable and so attentive, without being pushy. The butlers Dinesh, Aki and Ash were incredible and nothing was too much trouble.
All departments, ensured that our holiday was the absolutely best it could possibly be.
Top class food from top class chefs, wonderful waiting and bar staff, housekeeping were so thorough it was always a pleasure to return to our villa, reception staff were so warm and genuinely friendly.
The relationship between management and staff was a pleasure to behold, staff were treated both kindly and courteously by management, it was obvious that there was such mutual respect (which sadly you don't find often in 5* hotels)
If you are considering Maradiva Villas Resort and Spa, just book it, it will exceed your expectations!! 
Thank you to all especially Bertrand Blanchet (General Manager) Olivia Zacharias (Resident Manager) and Vincent Bertois (Food and Beverage Manager)

Perfection!

The hotel is immaculate with lovely grounds and the 65 villas are nicely spaced to provide privacy. The staff are attentive and very helpful. Shout out to our butler Dinesh and Adarsh on the beach who could not do enough for us. The four restaurants were all excellent ,although food orders were sometimes misinterpreted. A small issue.  It has a lovely bar to watch the sun go down from with a cocktail in hand. The spa service was excellent with good massages and great sauna and steam rooms and pool. The gym provides good fitness classes and yoga, often on the launch by the beach. Overall a very relaxing stay.

Delightful stay in charming hotel with super staff.

Luckily enough to have stayed at a variety of lovely hotels around the world - however Maradiva tops the lot! The villas are really special, food was of great quality and the service was super friendly and incredibly attentive and nothing was too much trouble. For instance when arriving for breakfast, it took only a day for Akeel to know our preferences! Bertrand the general was friendly and approachable and always on duty to make sure everything ran smoothly and our
Butler Aki deserves a special mention - always in touch on WhatsApp to make sure we had everything needed and restaurant reservations. 
Maradiva is all about low key high end luxury- not the place for a buzzing resort (unless you are there for the
Annual white party!) but if you are after quiet high end luxury you can’t beat it. Can’t wait to return.

Paradise

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Maradiva for October half term. It’s a really special place, where you feel personally welcomed and looked after- you are not just a hotel room number. Absolutely every member of staff was so friendly, kind and helpful, to the extent my 7 year old daughter has come back with lots of new ‘best friends’… they remember your coffee preferences at breakfast and your cocktail preferences at sunset. From housekeeping to the beach bar staff, to the spa, our wonderful butler, to the concierge, you get the impression they enjoy working here and are proud of the hotel, and happy to share it with you. 

The location is stunning, right on a beautiful beach, and easy to explore the island. The whole place is landscaped thoughtfully with luscious gardens. 

Our villa was beautifully appointed - you can tell it’s been recently renovated as all the little details are so well thought through. Having the private pool was wonderful for our two children and so relaxing for us. We’d be sitting there in the afternoon after leaving the beach and the doorbell would go - they would bring a plate of macaroons and little cakes to enjoy. So thoughtful. 

We really enjoyed all of the restaurants. The half board system worked really well and it was always very clear what was included-we rarely went above the half board limit. Breakfast was fantastic, so relaxing and delicious. Haiku was perhaps our favourite with the show cooking being a real highlight, it made for a fun evening. We had some super lunches at the Beachhouse Grill. Cilantro has some delicious cooking, and Cassine’s menu changes all the time with some delicious options and some live music which created a lovely atmosphere. Lantana (the bar) at 6pm was a real highlight - our family called it ‘cocktail and fruit bat hour’ as you watch the fruit bats come out as the sun sets, with some excellent cocktails and delicious nibbles. What a way to end the day/start the evening. 

The boathouse offering is excellent and the staff there were so helpful. We really enjoyed some sailing, kayaking, snorkelling, pedalos and glass bottom boat trips. We then organised an incredible full day boat trip with them where we saw SO many dolphins, a turtle, had a bbq lunch on an island, snorkelled. A real highlight. 

Absolutely nothing was too much trouble throughout our stay- organising a car for a trip out, reserving the various restaurants at the times we wanted, doing absolutely everything to make sure our stay ran smoothly. Main credit for this has to go to our butler Dinesh, who was simply outstanding. He checked in with us each day to check how things were, and even ordered chicken nuggets ahead to specific restaurants so the children didn’t have to wait and we could enjoy the more sophisticated cuisine! Special credit should also go to the hotel manager and the restaurant manager, both of whom were so visible on a daily basis, checking everything was going well but in an unobtrusive way. 

I would also mention that for us the hotel worked perfectly for a family holiday (with a 7 and 8 year old), in that the children were actively welcomed (not just tolerated) everywhere we went, but the overall ambience is calm, sophisticated and grown up. So even during half term it doesn’t feel that you’re surrounded by other people’s noisy children… but you’re able to enjoy quality family time. Perhaps because the beach is so large that everyone has their own space. Perfect if you want a family game of Uno over cocktails in the evening, not if you want a kids’ disco-that’s not the scene. 

When we left we genuinely felt we were saying goodbye to new friends, and we will certainly be coming back to such a special gem of a hotel. I can’t wait. Thank you, Maradiva.

Outstanding stay at this special gem of a hotel

We have just had a wonderful 9 night stay at Maradiva Villas.  We are a family of 4, with children aged 13 and 10, and we were incredibly well looked after by the Maradiva team.  The resort is beautiful, in a wonderful setting by the sea with views of the mountains.  What really makes it special though are the people.  Dinesh was incredibly helpful in arranging restaurant reservations, tennis court bookings and anything else we needed.  It was our daughter’s birthday while we were there and Dinesh and Gavin organised an incredible birthday dinner for her on the pier.  Veen and his team on the beach organised a beautiful birthday flower display on the beach for our daughter as well.   Anacy was always very friendly and helpful when we had lunches by the pool.  Breakfasts were always lovely and the team there, including Pritila, Zainab and Dhanish, made us feel very welcome there every morning.  The Reception team were also very helpful, especially Hena.   We were lucky enough to be there for the annual Crystal White Party on the beach with a firework display over the sea, which was amazing!  We were very sad to leave Maradiva but will hopefully return again.  It is a very special place.

Wonderful Maradiva!
