Barceló Whale Lagoon Maldives

Spectacular island, calm & cozy mood, and super friendly, welcoming stuff. Shoutouts to Maisoon, he’s professional!

Our time at Barcelo Maldives was an unforgettable experience of pure serenity and luxury. We spent two nights in the elegant Beach Villa and another two nights in the breathtaking Water Villa — each offering its own charm and tranquility, perfectly capturing the essence of island paradise. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful team at Sea Salt Restaurant. When my wife wished for some hot soup noodles with chili, the chef graciously went out of his way to prepare it for her. We also had the delightful opportunity to learn pizza-making, as well as how to make a refreshing smoothie, both fun and memorable experiences that added a personal touch to our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the snorkeling trips, where we had the incredible chance to see colourful fish, nurse sharks and stingrays gliding in the waters. We also indulged in a wonderful Balinese massage, which left us feeling completely relaxed, perfectly complementing the tranquil atmosphere of the resort. My wife especially enjoyed a yoga session led by the warm and encouraging instructor. We also had the memorable opportunity to take part in a tree-planting activity — a meaningful gesture that will remind us of this beautiful island and the wonderful people who made our stay so special. Special thanks to Rejin, Muny, Ifhaam, Soman and Aiham for their exceptional hospitality at the Sea Salt Restaurant, to Akbota at the reception for her warmth and attentiveness, and to Borja, the manager, whose sincerity and genuine concern made us feel truly at home. Thank you everyone at Barcelo Whale Lagoon Maldives!

Our honeymoon was excellent. Very modern interior design in both villas — water and beach. Very delicious restaurant — Sea salt, we liked a lot of dishes there, european cuisine was great. Room service is very good and every location is very clean. Also we liked an entertainment in resort. Halloween decor and sushi and dj evening. Thanks to Rejin for organisation and his energy there! I liked how boys encouraged us to dance there, it was very good party for enjoy and networking with other people! Also we liked sunrise snorkeling and seeing there Mantas and Turtles We enjoyed our staying here and we will recommend this resort to other people, because it was unforgettable and very comfortable

Our stay at Barceló Whale Lagoon was absolutely perfect — everything exceeded our expectations in every possible way. Every dinner, whether at Seafood BBQ, Surf & Sushi, or the main restaurant, was outstanding — the food was simply exceptional. The staff were truly amazing — always smiling, attentive, and genuinely kind. A special thank-you to Rejin, who made every day even more enjoyable with his warm attitude and wonderful conversations — it was a pleasure meeting him each day. Our villa was spotless, cleaned several times a day, and always felt fresh and luxurious. The pools, bars, and restaurants were beautifully designed and created a relaxing, elegant atmosphere. The Halloween celebration was incredible — everyone was dressed up, and the decorations were stunning! In one word — magical. 🌺 We highly recommend this resort to anyone dreaming of a perfect Maldives getaway.

Great resort and amenities, we booked the over water, sunset villa and an all inclusive package. It was perfect for us. The staff is wonderful, would like to recognize Muny for her exceptional hospitality in the Sea salt restaurant. The dolphin excursion is a must do !!

Excellent overall resort. Service was great. Staff excellent, in particular Hussain the waiter and Somen the chef. They were excellent and went out of their way to help. Only draw back was that check in took too long and often involved a hard sell to book activities and dinners outside the package. Also having staff present these sales pitches whilst dining is a turn off and annoying.
