Our stay at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives resort for our honeymoon was really nice and we enjoyed every moment. Everything was really good. The staff is excellent but we have to give extra credit and a big thank you to our personal concierge Tanissa! She helped us with EVERYthing from start to check out. She was very kind and whenever we contaced her she was always available, no matter what time it was. She definitely made our stay so much better. Best romantica experience is definately ”Cinema under the stars” if you go, you have to try it 🥰 Loved this Place!

Offering a year-round outdoor pool and a private beach area, OZEN LIFE MAADHOO - Luxury All Inclusive is situated in South Malé Atoll. The resort is approximately 45 minutes away from Malé by speedboat. A children's playground and a restaurant are available at the property.

We loved the place!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling to the Maldives. We have been to a few other resorts in the Maldives but this one is really special from the moment you arrive at the airport and threw all our stay. People are just so nice and attentive and they know about your needs even before you. Don't let me start about their restaurants, apart from the main one, the M6M (underwater restaurant) and the Traditions Indoceylon really swept us off our feet.

Guests can enjoy relaxing spa treatments in over-water pavilions, or hop on a Maldivian boat and watch the crew demonstrate traditional fishing methods. Resort facilities include a fitness centre, tennis court and infinity pool with the view of the beach and the ocean. Chinese speaking staff is available for assistance.

Everything was perfect! We had an amazing experience. The facilities, the beach, and the services were exactly as promoted and shown on pictures. Food was amazing both on Vella (buffet) as well as the restaurants. Although we mostly enjoyed the teppanyaki restaurant, but also the others were amazing and exceeded our expectations. Big bonus for Velassaru was the absolute excellent service from the staff. We lost things a couple of times and every time we could find them on the reception, while they catered to our needs in no time. Last but not least, what really exceeded our expectations was the level of how clean everything was! Everything cleaned to the spot! Everything you see in the pictures regarding Maldives and Velassaru 100% the same in reality... SIMPLY AMAZING! Many thanks to the staff of Velassaru and rest assured you will be seeing us again.

    Staff were friendly, especially Agra in the restaurant. Nice beach area with shade umbrellas over some of the chairs. Great house reef to snorkel on, free snorkeling equipment provided by the dive shop worked well. Food was good and varied. Loved the overwater bungalow. The boat transfer from the airport worked well. Nice selection of alcoholic beverages as part of the all inclusive plan.

    Amazing resort and super friendly stuff (Receptionists, Butler and house keepers). Starting from the transfer, everything went smooth. The resort representatives were waiting for us in the airport and they have organised directly the transfer. Regarding the facilities, we had an amazing view from our Overwater Sunset Villa. The food was amazing even though we had "All inclusive" package, we had the opportunity to choose from "A la Carte menu". highly recommend !!!
