The food was good, although the variety limited. The island is small and the facilities restricted but then most of the islands in the maldives are... More

“Honeymoon Destination - Impossible to match!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

We stayed here 4 years ago, but I had to write a review of our experience here. Taj never ever disappoints! Located on a small island, this is as exclusive a resort as we have stayed in. Maldives remains as the best beach and resort destination we have visited thus-far. Warm turquoise colored waters, sandy beaches, stingrays floating by -... More

Was there 2 weeks ago and can't recommend the place highly enough. Words just can't describe how beautiful it was and how friendly and welcoming the staff are. Stayed in a deluxe water villa which was brilliant and housekeeping was superb the whole place and experience has left us wanting to return as soon as possible 10/10
