What a great little island. This was our 14th trip to the Maldives and we think we have finally found the best all round destination. Whilst some islands have slightly better food, some better AI, some better house reef diving and some with bigger rooms we felt that Maaf was best overall. The beach villas were spacious with enough storage... More

I have always dreamt of going on holiday to the Maldives and this year we decided to treat ourselves and booked a stay at Maafushivaru based on the reviews here. I have to say from the moment we arrived the whole experience just blew me away - it was worth every penny and we ended up having the best holiday... More

Having never been to the Maldives before I'm not surprised we were almost speechless as we arrived for our honeymoon but that shouldn't take away from what was a quite wonderful vacation on a beautiful island run by a professional company with a lovely, personal set of staff. If I had one reservation on arrival, it was the food going... More

Just finishing a week on Maafushivaru (writing this by the beautiful pool using the complimentary wifi) and have to say that the island meets and even exceeds all expectations for first time Maldives travellers. From the welcome at the jetty, all of the resort staff are massively helpful and can't do enough to make you feel truly spoilt. The island... More

I'm not sure I can add much to all the good reviews of Maafushivaru that hasn't already been said, we did absolutely loved it, which I'm pleased about as I did loads of research and stressed about which island to go to that would be right for us. Maafushivaru is a fairly small island but it doesn't feel so, we... More

We have just returned from a week on Maafushivaru. I'm not going to write a lengthy review as I have little to add to what has already been said so thought I'd keep it brief and attach lots of photos! A previous reviewer mentioned the 'polished concrete' finish in the bathroom; I can't say I was keen on that either... More

Just the odd review on here that doesn't love it, but we thought it was fab. This was our 3rd trip to the Maldives so the following is based on that experience. We had e-mailed the resort beforehand to request a beach villa in the 108-112 range and got the standard reply 'we will do what we can'. So we... More

We have recently returned from Maafushivaru having previously visited the Maldives on 16 previous occasions and 14 different islands. Of these 14 Islands only Ari Beach and Fesdu have been disappointing ( both now revamped and renamed ). All islands offer something different so they cannot satisfy everybody all of the time. Our choice would be to take something from... More

My husband and I have also just returned from our second visit to Maafushivaru, where we stayed in a Beach Villa for 14 nights. This was our fifth time to the Maldives, having been to Komandoo, Veligandu and Grand Centara. We had such an amazing time the first time round and we wondered for a split second whether we should...
