Baglioni Resort Maldives

Baglioni Maldives is an amazing destination. We visited for our honeymoon and spent 10 days at the resort in mid-October. Baglioni was the only resort we stayed at during our time, and the weather was perfect, with only one night of rain and a brief five-minute shower one afternoon. Our over-water villa with a plunge pool was ideal. The snorkeling on the house reef was fantastic, with even great spots right by the over-water villas. We planned one activity per day, leaving plenty of time to relax by the beach and poolside. Our top activities were the Snorkeling Adventure (where they take you to a different reef), Floating Breakfast (a lot of fun if you have a plunge pool), Aperitivo (sunset drinks and appetizers by the pool before dinner), Boduberu (a traditional Maldivian music and dance performance), and the Whale Shark Excursion (an unforgettable experience and our favorite activity). The food at the resort's restaurants was very good. In 10 days, we never got tired of the food options. Our favorite restaurants were Fuego and Yama. Even the buffet was excellent, with many stations offering freshly prepared dishes. The staff truly made our trip unforgettable. Every member of the Baglioni team was extremely helpful, friendly, and genuinely great people. Traveling from the USA to the Maldives is quite a journey, taking about 24-30 hours. Despite this, I would absolutely recommend coming. The final leg on the seaplane is very cool, and the Baglioni lounge at TMA is a great place to relax before arriving at the resort.

We visited Baglioni for one week for our honeymoon, first of all I would like to thank the following staff at Baglioni who really made our stay on the island impeccable: Swadha, Ramees, Siraan, Chef Andrea, Megan, Harris, Prafhul, Zacky, Jin, Margaret, Chef Ajay and the General Manager Monica. All the staff on the island are extremely friendly and helpful, the ones mentioned above just went that extra mile to make us feel so welcome and they really looked after us during our stay. Restaurants & Bars: Fuego BBQ on the beach is amazing lots of variety of fish and meat, Gusto the Italian was fantastic a new menu recently released, Yama the Asian unfortunately was not as good food wise as the other two restaurants in our opinion, all the restaurants are lovely inside and have breathtaking views over the ocean. Pool bar is great has great food and drink options with a proper wood fire pizza station at lunchtime, lunch menu here is good. Taste is the main restaurant only went here for breakfast and few lunches not dinner, this is all buffet here. Aperitivo on the beach during our stay was fantastic drinks and cocktail bites with the sunset was great got to meet the staff and mingle with other guests. Villas / Rooms: The villas are fantastic extremely clean modern lots of space, beach villa with pool was better for us but you do not have much privacy between villas, the water villa with pool was lovely but just too noisy if high winds and rough sea. The daily turnaround of the room cleaning was always to perfection and thorough. Leisure Activities & Facilities: They have great facilities at the resort, big swimming pool, spa, yoga, gym, tennis courts, snorkeling excursions, dolphin cruise, watersports, all these facilities were great and met our expectations. Games area also at the pool bar, pool table, tennis table. Cooking classes, Cocktail making classes. Movie night, Bingo night, Karaoke night, Maldivian culture night. Every night they always have on new entertainment or different theme nights, they were a good laugh and break the evening up, so you do not just end up going back to your villa after dinner, was great they always mixed it up. Snorkeling: Great island to go diving or snorkeling around, shallow and deep areas across the island and on the outskirts off the reef and cliff edges. The island itself and beaches are great not to rocky and not so much damage coral etc around the island. An island that is extremely environmentally friendly. Once again just like to say a massive thank you to the Baglioni team for looking after us during our stay.

The resort is fabulous. The staff is so friendly and attentive. The views are amazing. Food is FABULOUS! We did several awesome adventures and they were so wonderful. I highly recommended Baglioni Resort - you will not regret your time spent there..

The best thing about this resort is the people. The workers go above and beyond to satisfy all your requests. They almost felt bad if you had to ask for something! They are the kindest workers EVER. Zaha was our butler/concierge, we LOVED her. The island is 0.66 miles, we walked all the way around in about 15 min., the water & sand were amazing! The only reason I have it a 4 instead of 5 was that the resort needs updating. The furniture, etc needs updated. The resort is listed as luxurious, but IMO opinion, the pictures & videos make it look way more luxurious than it is.

The hotel is nice and cozy, villas are in perfect condition, all the employees (from waiters up to the general manager) are friendly and very helpful. Special thanks to Spa therapists, Kids Club manager Shaba and our guest relationship manager Diana !
