A Memorable Family Stay at a Unique Resort

This location is genuinely special. Our family, consisting of two adults and three children, had a remarkable stay at the resort. Host – Afrin Afrin, our host, was exceptional. She met every need promptly and was always available with valuable information. We are deeply thankful for her superb support. Southern Restaurant – Manager - Himanshu We stayed in a Water Villa and ate at the “Southern Restaurant.” Himanshu, the manager, greeted us warmly and provided excellent care. On our final day, he surprised us with a beautifully arranged farewell table. Southern Restaurant The chefs, hailing from Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, crafted each meal with careful attention and flavor. They met every request with enthusiasm, ensuring each dining experience was delightful. Water Villa Accommodation We stayed in two connecting villas over the sea, ideal for our family. Each villa had private ocean access, letting us see marine life like turtles, stingrays, and small sharks from our terrace. The water depth around the villas ranged from about 0.5 to 1.5 meters, making it safe for swimming and walking. Sport Activities There were numerous free activities to enjoy, such as billiards, tennis, basketball, and table tennis. Everything was conveniently accessible with no waiting times, making our stay relaxed and enjoyable. Pool Area The pool area was never crowded, and we consistently found loungers available. The pool was spotless. Cleanliness The resort was very tidy and most rooms were refurbished. No one in our group experienced any health issues during the stay. Bird Park & Gardens The island features a picturesque bird park surrounded by gardens. We saw exotic birds like peacocks, parrots, cockatoos, and macaws. A standout moment was holding the parrots on our shoulders.

#maldiveshotel Villa Park (Ex.Sun Island Resort & Spa) Once known as Sun Island*, **Villa Park in South Ari Atoll has quietly reinvented itself — not with flashy luxury, but with **warmth, space, and soul**. This isn’t a tiny boutique hideaway. It’s a **1.8-kilometer island sanctuary**, where you can walk for hours without seeing another soul, find your own stretch of powdery sand, and fall asleep to the rhythm of waves — all while being steps from one of the **richest marine worlds on Earth**. All rooms feature AC, minibar, smart TV, free Wi-Fi — but here, technology fades. The real magic is in the details: morning coffee on your private terrace, barefoot walks at dawn, and the sound of palm fronds like whispered poetry. Explore: 🤿 Snorkel straight off the beach — turtles, blacktip sharks, clownfish in vibrant coral gardens, 🐠 Dive with **manta rays** and even **whale sharks** (seasonal, but unforgettable), 🧘♀️ Spa treatments with coconut oil, herbal wraps, and sea breezes. And yes — bikes are free, yoga mats await at sunrise, and the staff greets you like an old friend. But what makes Villa Park special? 👉 **Space**: one of the largest islands with plenty of privacy, 👉 **Marine magic**: world-class diving and snorkeling right offshore, 👉 **Authentic vibe**: no pretense, just honest Maldivian hospitality. This is the Maldives for those who want **beauty without fuss, adventure without stress, and peace that lasts long after you leave**. 📍 #VillaParkMaldives #SouthAriAtoll #RealMaldives #IslandSoul
