Alila Kothaifaru Maldives

The resort is absolutely breathtaking! Food exceeded all my expectations (although there are not many restaurants, the Seasalt restaurant menu was very extensive and food was delicious). We went for our honeymoon and got a sunset over water villa. The room was perfect, the views were incredible, and it was very well kept. The staff at the resort is amazing, so kind, helpful and friendly. We were assigned a host when we got there and she handled all of our requests throughout our stay. I loved that. Instead of having to call a front desk every time we needed something, we just WhatsApped her and she responded within a minute. There were no mosquitoes either! I recommend this resort to anyone travelling to Maldives.

This was a great experience. The rooms were large, modern and well equipped, and all had a pool. Food was excellent, delicious buffets and very good ala carte choice. The island was very well kept if a bit on the small side. The best aspect of Alila was the staff. All were friendly and keen to help in all situations. A special mention must go to Shifa our villa host, Sandeep and the Mirus bar team. In Umami, Ned, Mifzal and Ayu deserve special thanks for making our stay so special. Finally a special thankyou to Clare and the team at Angelfish travel who resolved a very worrying late flight amendment by Gulf Air and found us an alternative flight with Qatar. If this hadn’t happened then we would have lost the first day of our 5 day stay at Alila.

It was the best experience. The hotel has such a nice energy. Everyone is so attentive and try to mke the best time for the guest. Sandip and his team at the mirubu was insane. Sandip is the heart of the hotel he and his team made everyhing so enjoyable

This trip was truly like a dream! The scenery was stunning, with a light-blue lagoon, amazing food, and incredibly friendly staff. It felt like a snorkeling paradise—every day, we encountered small sharks and rays that swam alongside us. The sunsets painted the sky in a spectrum of colors, making it the perfect escape from any worries. A special mention goes to our butler, Mr. Sultan, who was simply fantastic. He’s a true Maldives expert, with seemingly endless knowledge about the islands and a knack for arranging the best experiences. If you’re ever here, I highly recommend connecting with him—he’s great to talk to and will make sure your stay is unforgettable.

We spent our honeymoon at Alila and enjoyed two weeks in a beach villa. We were absolutely amazed by the island! Alila has the perfect mix of luxury while still being humble, embrasses the nature that the island has to offer and pairs it with very high international standards (in regards to all the facilities as well as food & drinks). Most importantly, all staff members really made our honeymoon unforgettable! From our villa manager Sull, to the whole bar team at Mirusbar (Sandip and his team incl. the DJ), to the staff in the restaurants (Hafix and his team at Seasalt) - excellent service is lifed by every single staff member and it was incredible! We are looking forward to visiting again soon!
