We stayed at Water Villa with Pool for 7 nights in February 2023.
< Snorkeling >
Close to the room to drop-off, snorkeling is the best. Be careful not to catch corals as the front is quite shallow. There were many kinds and quantities of fish, and I could see turtles every day. If you don't chase, you will swim nearby. According to the staff, I have seen the best 5 at once.
It is said that the snorkeling between water sports jetty and Benjarong is the most.
The life jacket provided in the room was easy to use. I entered the sea from my room every morning, but there was a flow depending on the day and it was difficult to reverse, so I went up from the sandy beach near Benjarong while being washed away by Xu 々 I went back to my room.
The water villa on the 501-510 side is the best for snorkeling, but the sound of the waves hitting the shore was quite loud, and it was a little negative that I could hear all the time in the room.
< Yoga >
There were several free yoga lessons every day (reservation required) The teacher was a young Thai woman teacher and was quite authentic. The participants range from the first to the veteran 々 and up to 6 to 8 people. There were various venues such as indoors and outdoors along the sea. Matt also Manduka
For reference, the schedule for February 2023 was as follows.

< Customer layer >
Traveling from China has not yet resumed in a big 々, so there weren't many Chinese. Most Asians are young Korean couples (a little bad manners), and Japanese are not yet there after Corona.
Many Europeans came as families, and many Europeans were in terms of number, but it seems that there are usually many Asians (China and South Korea).
< Food >
I made it all-inclusive. Drinks in the room (soft drinks, beer, tea, coffee, etc.) are included, but some alcohol in the room and restaurant are charged.
If you had lunch on the first day, the lunch on the last day was an extra charge (butler explains). The food was delicious at every restaurant.
< Room >
Water circulation (washroom 2 or place) The amount and temperature of the shower was perfect. You can also store hot water immediately in the bathtub. The water leaked on the floor on the first day, but I was able to fix it immediately.
Bed wanted a twin, but was told not to be a prior request, but when I went to the room, it was made into a Hollywood twin.
The bicycle installed in the room was convenient (no brakes, type that stops the pedal with a reverse saw, there is a bar in the middle like for men, so the tight skirt may be tighter ... You can ride on a dress i'm sorry.
The private pool in the room is seawater.
On the last day, I wanted a boat + domestic flight from the resort on a plane from Male at 23:40, so there was a guide the day before and I was able to use the room until 18:00 when I checked out 19:00 resort departure.

Price is the cheapest on the island

Very good holiday island, no children, quiet. The room service was very good, the housekeeper arranged in a well-organized manner, we came to clean as soon as we went out, and replenished enough water. The breakfast and dinner are very rich, the level is very high, satisfied. The only downside is that this time to catch up with the heavy wind and rain, there is no snorkeling and any sea activities. The pick-up service is very good, there is a lounge, at the water airport, some distance from the international airport, there is a car transfer, and the service staff will follow.
The staff works great!
Questions to the owner/management.
The price of the hotel is not in line with the quality.
There are other interesting hotels on the island at a more pleasant price. But you have to book in advance (we unfortunately took the hotel to the holiday, and as they say, what's left). Breakfast is not a Swedish table. It starts late at 8:00, you order from the menu until you prepare 30 minutes. Coffee for breakfast for a separate fee-5$. However, you will be given a smell of two strawberries and you can choose from which grains you will prepare coffee.
There is a mosque right next to the hotel. At 5 a.m. it might wake you up.
Shuifei arrives at the hotel in 30 minutes. The service is not bad. There are many types of breakfast and dinner, mainly Western style. Dinner is almost no seafood. There are grilled steak, grilled lamb chops and grilled shrimps. The hotel is really big and the tail beach is also very good Beautiful, the restaurant on the trailing beach only has lunch, there is basically nothing to eat, the taste is not suitable for Chinese people,
The room is so beautiful and big. The service attitude is very good. The room is cleaned several times a day. Every time I go back to the room, it is tidy and clean. I will go again next time.

Outstanding
I’ve been fortunate to travel to many islands in the Maldives, but Baa Sand Hotel on Kudarikilu completely stole my heart. It’s not your typical luxury resort—it’s better. It’s real, personal, and full of soul. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed like an old friend. The staff—Ali, Hasan, and everyone at the hotel—have a way of making you feel seen and cared for without being overbearing. Every request was met with a smile and genuine warmth. Traveling solo, I usually stay low-key, but here, I found myself chatting with locals, joining a sunset fishing trip, and even hanging out with the parrots at reception (yes, they’re adorable!). The room was spacious, spotless, and surprisingly well-equipped—great water pressure, big comfy bed, strong Wi-Fi, and daily housekeeping that rivals big-name resorts. I also loved the rooftop space and the peaceful garden vibe around the pool. The island itself is small and quiet, with a couple of local shops for snacks and essentials, and a calm beach just a few minutes’ walk away. I swam with manta rays on a half-day trip organised by the hotel and watched baby turtles hatch right on the sand. It felt like a dream. But honestly? What makes this place special isn’t just the scenery—it’s the people. The Baa Sand team delivers something you don’t often find anymore: hospitality with heart. If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic Maldivian escape with genuine care and comfort, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’m bringing my friends
ّ I really enjoyed my stay at the resort! Everything was perfect — the hospitality, the facilities, and the relaxing atmosphere. Thank you for a great experience.
CCarlitos TravelsThis place is really good, clean, nice design. The Sri Lankan chef makes fantastic food. We had a bit of a misunderstanding with dinner as we had already paid through trip but it was cleared quickly.
We used them to organize a whole day of snorkeling sadly we only saw a turle, due not being the season for mantas nor whale sharks. They took us to an empty island with white sand and crystal blue sea, it was lovely. I think the lunch could have been better but it was a great day. We also went night fishing, we only caught one fish but another couple caught four! Again it was nice being out in the seat night, we then went back to the hotel and the chef grilled the fish we caught!
We were very happy with our stay!
The trip of the lifetime! Our butler Hassan made our stay smooth. Our daughter had ear pain on the first night and the Doctor gave her all she needed to recover. The island is gorgeus, the house reef is wonderful and you can see the underwater life at your first step to the ocean. We loved the food and honestly the helpers around us: Obbs, Alex, Bob, Mona, Saeed, Kabi, Pabi made our stay unforgettable! I was literally crying when we needed to return to Europe! I absolutely recommend the luxury villa with pool for families with children! Our daughter fell in love with Kids club and still talks about it. Seaplane absolutely worth it to Dusit Thani it is very funny and amazing view.
Unforgettable experience! Beautiful island, fortunately not rebuilt for tourists but with the respect of their Maldivian culture. Incredible nature and all the people that work there are all very kind and welcoming. we were truly happy.Tthe only small flaw is that the activities and extras are really expensive and in a hotel like this it is not proportionate. We could have done many excursions and booked every day massages etc but with such high prices we limited ourselves to two. the risk is to lose opportunities. so this is my only advice. Thanks anyway for this beautiful holiday! See you soon
