The room was clean and the balcony faced the sea, offering a wide, unobstructed view. Being on the 7th floor was very comfortable. The service was excellent; staff helped with luggage during both check-in and check-out. There was also an electric shuttle service, and the beach was right outside. There were even evening performances. We could request a packed breakfast for early morning excursions, though it was quite simple and didn't include drinks, which was a bit of an oversight.
Perfect location - just 15/20 minutes by speedboat from Malé Airport, with a convenient round-trip transfer option (USD 110), ideal if you prefer to avoid long travel times.
The food was delicious, with buffet options available at one of the restaurants if you’re on a meal plan. Otherwise, there are several other restaurants on the island to explore.
The island has a wide range of villas, and you can swim freely around different areas. Standard rooms are a bit small but all are beach-facing right from the door, which is a big plus. Deluxe rooms are more spacious, though not all offer a direct beach view you may need to step outside to enjoy it.
Marine life is a highlight - different parts of the island offer unique underwater experiences, including colorful fish, small sharks, and beautiful coral reefs.
The staff were friendly and attentive. Rooms were cleaned twice daily, and the entire island was well-maintained and spotless throughout our stay.
One minor downside is that seaplanes frequently pass overhead since the island is close to the airport, which may be noticeable at times.
Overall, a fantastic stay with great service, vibrant marine life, and a lively atmosphere.
Beautiful place und Thulusdhooo! The room are very nice and comfortable, the staff is lovely and helps with any questions and the local breakfast was great!
Would definitely stay here again!
We extended our stay one more night. Our last night was at their best room which provided a stunning view. Thank you to Magic and Lucky for upgrading our room. We are so thankful for their service. Also, everyone else who works at the hotel are very nice people.
A Dreamy Island Escape at Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa
From the moment I arrived at the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, I was greeted with warmth and genuine smiles, making me feel instantly at home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail of my stay was perfect — from helping with my luggage to offering personalized recommendations for activities. Their hospitality truly elevated my experience and made me feel valued throughout my stay.
I have traveled to over 50 countries and stayed in countless 5-star hotels, yet this is by far my favorite hotel. Every aspect, from the serene atmosphere to the attentive service, exceeded all expectations. Dining at the resort was a culinary delight, with seven restaurants and bars offering diverse international cuisines and refreshing cocktails. They also have on-site spa
Whether I was seeking adventure with activities like snorkeling and jet skiing or simply relaxing on the beach, the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa offered an idyllic setting. The attentive staff’s care and hospitality made my stay unforgettable — truly a paradise made perfect by the people who run it.
The staff were all great. The only issue was that as a family of four, there were no triple rooms available, so we had to book two double rooms. The sea view was decent, but the rooms and beds were too small, so the sleep quality wasn't the best.
We spent almost a week in the hotel and the cleanliness and helpfulness of the staff was great.
Unfortunately, we did not have a good start due to a flu of my husband, but they did not hesitate and we were immediately helped and we were driven to the doctor and supported and lovingly cared for. We can recommend the hotel to everyone and thank all employees for this excellent service!!!
such a wonderful hotel, from the services, hotel staff, rooms and the breakfast! we have been greeted by the hotel staff at the harbour once arrived to Dhiffushi and the hotel staff fetch us by hotel taxi. it was just 2 mins journey. while waiting for the room, the hotel staff bring us to a quick tour around the island by hotel taxi and it was totally wonderful! i have stayed for two nights, with two different rooms (premium view room with balcony at the top floor and also superior room at ground floor) which both of it are excellent! they hv rooftop club area as well which opens at 4pm till midnight which you can use all the amenities there including snooker! we need to leave early on our last day and they have provide us with packed breakfast since we need to depart at 630am. to conclude, this hotel is very very highly recommended! we have an amazing stay ❤️
The hotel exceeded all expectations. It's an incredibly beautiful, lush, and authentic island, without feeling overly polished or brand new. It felt like being on a deserted island, yet everything was clean, and details like lighting were perfectly highlighted. The nature felt untouched.
The ocean was stunningly beautiful. The turquoise water stretched for dozens of meters from the shore (but remember to bring water shoes!).
The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. You didn't even have to ask for anything; they proactively offered everything. Towels were changed twice a day, and they constantly checked if we needed anything like water or coffee. The service was so good that you often don't find this level of attentiveness even in much higher-category hotels.
Breakfasts were fantastic, with everything you could need: pastries, hash browns, made-to-order omelets, eggs, waffles, and pancakes. There was always a wide selection of fruits – watermelon, papaya, two types of melon, pineapple, passion fruit, bananas, and oranges. Breakfast was truly complete.
Dinners were a little less impressive, but that's just my personal preference; I'm not a big fan of everything being in sauces. However, I could always find something to eat.
It was my friend's birthday, and at dinner, we were given a specially decorated table, the entire staff congratulated him, and there was a cake with candles. While we were enjoying dinner, our room was decorated with birthday greetings. I was impressed by how well thought out and coordinated their actions were.
We also received a free upgrade to a water villa. We spent 4 days in a beach bungalow, room 301, and then 3 days in a water villa, room 506. There's a separate restaurant for the villas, which we were also able to visit and did. That was a very pleasant bonus. Thank you. Our vacation was unforgettable, and we will definitely return.
This is simply an incredible hotel for the price.
This hotel has a great location, very close to the beach. The bed setup is perfect for families traveling with children, and the room is well-equipped with everything we needed. Most importantly, the staff here are extremely friendly — from the restaurant servers and the front desk receptionists to the staff who arranged our snorkeling and boat trips, everyone was exceptionally warm and helpful. If we come back to Dhiffushi Island in the future, we would definitely choose to stay at this hotel again!
Very Good

Great
Mmeic.wthanks for the seamless check in process which start from the airport pick up , and specifically thanks to Joey who hosted us from jetty to our room and brief us all the required info with her extremely friendly personality, all the other staffs are very helpful and smiley too, the room is very specious with nice ocean view as well as we opt for the overwater villa, very happy with the stay here and will definitely recommend to others.
GGuest UserIn our opinion, this hotel feels a bit like a Turkish resort. Since we came here after staying at Tinadhoo, the differences were quite noticeable. The restaurant doesn't have a great view, but the variety of food is decent, and there's a kids' corner. Buggies transport guests around the island, which is very convenient and fun for children. What we didn't like is that because of this, there are a lot of concrete paths, so you can't walk barefoot. The service was a bit disappointing; it felt very mass-produced. They didn't respond about our transfer or contact us themselves, so we had to find their counter at the airport on our own and call the hotel. This was probably because we weren't arriving by plane. We also didn't receive a welcome bag, and the bed for the third person was only made up after we called reception. These are minor things, but you tend to notice them more at a resort. Overall, we liked our villa; it wasn't new, but everything was well-maintained. In front of our villa was a lagoon, and beyond that a breakwater, so there wasn't really an ocean view. However, thanks to the breakwater, the lagoon was very calm. There's a reef, but it's quite monotonous; the corals are brown and all look the same, and you can only swim over them at high tide. There are large fish and stingrays, so there's enough to see for a couple of days. Overall, it's not bad, but we definitely wouldn't return. It would probably be a good choice for families with children, though, due to its proximity to the airport and kid-friendly amenities.
JJeffGCIf you are looking for a Maldivian getaway that balances island relaxation with a bit of ”city” energy and variety, SAii Lagoon is a fantastic choice. Unlike the more isolated private islands, this resort is part of the CROSSROADS Maldives project, which means you aren't just limited to one resort’s dining and activities.
🚤 Location & Arrival
One of the biggest perks is the 15-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. After a long flight, being at the resort and checked in within 30 minutes is a luxury in itself. No waiting hours for a seaplane!
🛌 The Room Experience
The design here is very ”Boho-Chic”—bright, colorful, and modern.
• Sky Rooms: Great value with a beautiful balcony view of the lagoon.
• Beach Villas: The direct beach access is worth the upgrade. The ”creature comfort” pillows and the ability to customize your own bathroom amenities at the Aroma Bar were unique touches that made the stay feel personalized.
🍴 Dining & Activities
This is where SAii really stands out. Because it’s connected by a footbridge to The Marina @ CROSSROADS and the Hard Rock Hotel:
• Variety: You have access to over 10+ dining options. We loved Miss Olive Oyl for Mediterranean flavors, but having the option to walk over to the Hard Rock Café or the Ministry of Crab at the Marina kept things exciting.
• The Hub: The Marina has a discovery center, shops, and a beach club (Café del Mar style).
• Snorkeling: The house reef is decent, and we spotted plenty of colorful fish and even a few small reef sharks near the overwater walkways.
💡 Pro-Tips for Travelers:
1. Download the App: Use the SAii App to request buggies or book dinner tables—it’s much faster than calling the front desk.
2. Explore the Marina: Don't just stay on the SAii island. The sunset views from the Marina pier are some of the best on the island.
3. Hilton Honors: If you have status, the perks here (like breakfast or room upgrades) are well-recognized as it’s part of the Curio Collection.
Summary: Perfect for couples or families who want a vibrant, social atmosphere rather than total isolation. The proximity to Malé makes it the ultimate stress-free Maldivian escape!
Would I return? Absolutely, especially for a shorter trip where I want to maximize my time on the sand rather than in transit.
GGapOlkaA hotel with high European standards of service and a pleasant staff. It's located right next to the pier where sharks and rays swim up in the evenings. Since I didn't feel like eating much in the morning, the staff packed me a breakfast in a lunchbox. It's a shame I only stayed there for one day.
Kkellyy56Very nice and comfortable accommodation. Went with a friend of mine back in October 2023, and we were greeted by a warm friendly receptionist and a clean lobby. Our room was on the second floor, with very comfortable beds, toilets, and necessary amenities. Except that the sink's tap water smelled a little funny which we avoided using. However the reception was quick to send over whatever we requested, like water, clean towels etc. Would definitely book again if i ever visit Himmafushi again next time!
AAnonymous UserEven though it opened in 2017, the rooms are wonderfully neat and clean, and the Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk were very welcoming and attentive. The Ocean Villa we stayed in is actually just opposite the Lagoon Villa, and the rooms are exactly the same, which might be helpful for others to know. The all-inclusive three meals a day package felt a bit luxurious, as I only ended up eating two meals a day. You can step right out to the ocean, and the entire island is very clean. I've attached the menu and prices so everyone can decide for themselves whether to go for the meal package or not.
GGuest UserThe staff were all great. The only issue was that as a family of four, there were no triple rooms available, so we had to book two double rooms. The sea view was decent, but the rooms and beds were too small, so the sleep quality wasn't the best.
