We stayed at the Hideaway over the 2024 Easter holiday. We can honestly say that it is by far the best experience at a resort we have ever had. This was our first trip to the Maldives and it didn't disappoint. The choice of resorts is of course mind boggling. To help us with this we went through an agent (Destinology). Obviously you pay for the privilege but this decision paid back several fold following some wrinkles in the trip. Keith at Desitinology was fantastic and extremely supportive both before and during our stay. We narrowed down our options pretty quick on the basis that we had younger children (5 and 7 at the time) and we wanted an excellent house reef very close to the beach. This left us with only a few options and the extra privacy and space that comes with this being a larger island swung the decision pretty quickly. We decided to opt for the White Platinum package which really is a must unless you routinely spend $100s of dollars for every meal (which we don't!). The package is extremely comprehensive and more than catered for our needs, we never felt like we were missing out on anything, We stayed for 10 nights, and wanted to split our stay 50/50 between a beach villa and water villa. Because we wanted to be close to the reef for snorkelling we booked a sunset beach villa (no pool) followed by a water villa (which in terms of room quality would be an improvement towards the end of the trip. Our butler was Suci, needless to say she was fantastic. Couldn't have asked for her to be anymore attentive. The trip itself didn't get off to the best start. Our flight over was a nightmare meaning (Our LHR departure was delayed and we missed a connection in Dubai meaning we arrived at the island about 9 hours later than planned). This was a really downer because it meant we missed our seaplane transfer. However, Keith / the resort quickly organised alternatives (domestic flight and speedboat). When we arrived we were greeted by our butler Suci (who for the record was absolutely fantastic throughout the stay and went above and beyond several times throughout the stay. We were taken to the water villa for the first part of our stay, this wasn't what we requested, Suci set to sorting that straight away. By the end of the next day the resort had offered us a double room upgrade for the second half of the trip to a Sunset Beach Villa with pool some of the best rooms on the island (in our opinion) as much for the proximity to the house reef (literally 10 feet of the beach) as the room (which was also amazing. This was the last thing to go wrong on the trip and it was rectified almost immediately. We were very happy with how the resort dealt with it. Rooms: The water Villas were amazing. We were greeted with welcome drinks / decorations / platter. The room itself was extremely well appointed, very clean. Perfect really. What you see on the resort website absolutely reflects the quality, Kids would flop into the water from time to time, we
