We have travelled to many exotic destinations and this year we decided to return to the Maldives after 11 years. We chose the resort of Kudafushi randomly thanks to a travel agent and it was definitely a good choice! Once again, it was a wonderful vacation that we will fondly remember. The resort has an amazing atmosphere full of sunshine, exotic smells and friendly smiling people. We had tried staying in a water villa in other places years ago and this time we chose to stay in a beach villa. We were thrilled! The villa is steps away from the beautiful blue ocean with a breathtaking underwater world just off the shore, surrounded by fine white sand, you can swim any time of the day and spend your nights like we did with the door open filled with the sound of the sea... Absolutely amazing! In addition, all inclusive really excellent varied food, excellent wines, a great selection of mixed drinks and great coffee. During our stay the hotel manager offered us the option of moving to a different type of accommodation on the other side of the island to experience all that the resort has to offer, but we gratefully declined, we were perfectly happy in "our" villa. We were also happy to take the opportunity to diversify our holiday with sports and regularly played tennis and rented a kayak. Also the snorkelling here was unique, the coral reef starts right at the beach so we could dive at any time and it was always amazing. There was a varied programme for guests during the day and every evening, and sitting in the beach bar with a drink as the sun set was wonderful. We were a little surprised that there was no dress code for entering the restaurant, especially for dinner. But it is very liberating to spend the whole holiday without shoes on the sand! The housekeeping service in the villa worked well too, perhaps I just missed the lovely creative floral decorations on the bed, or the little surprises of fruit or a bottle of sparkling wine in the room, as has been the case in other resorts where we have holidayed. It's the little things that put a smile on any guest's face. The resort is open relatively recently, it is rated as 5*, but some of the amenities of the beach villa would already deserve repair or replacement. I understand that the bathroom, located very unconventionally and imaginatively outside the villa, is exposed to non-stop weather, but all the more care needs to be taken with the treatment of the wood and sanitary facilities. Even the flooring in the villa could do with a renovation and certainly a better quality material. It didn't spoil our good impression though, we loved Kudafushi and would love to come back again! I would also like to praise the very good service of the local travel agency that arranged the transfer from Malé airport to the seaplane airport and back. Everything worked absolutely perfectly and the staff were very friendly and willing to help with anything, it was very pleasant.
