Lime & Chili offers high-quality and diverse breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. This time, we chose to stay at VARU by Atmosphere, an all-inclusive hotel that includes meals and alcoholic beverages. To our surprise, the breakfast menu changes daily 🤩, featuring unique and delightful dishes 😋 that keep things fresh and exciting, so you won't feel bored eating the same thing every day 🫠. Every Friday, the restaurant hosts a party with live band performances until 9:00 PM, followed by dancing, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere. My favorite dish is the crispy and sweet Indian flatbread, which has an amazing texture. The variety of sauces is unique and flavorful. The breakfast options are so abundant that it's hard to choose, making you want to try everything. Every morning, I eat to my heart's content before heading out for a swim 🤣🤣🤣. The restaurant staff are very diligent in clearing tables and quickly refilling food. The chefs greet guests and inquire about the quality of the food, showing genuine care for customer feedback and satisfaction. Their friendliness makes every morning's breakfast a joyful experience, starting the day on a happy note...😍

We embarked on our Maldives adventure at the end of January, on the second day of the Lunar New Year. It’s only now that I’ve had time to organize the photos and write this review. January is the best season to visit the Maldives, with perfect weather and abundant sunshine—ideal for relaxing and soaking up the sun 🤩. We stayed in an overwater pool villa, which was absolutely amazing. These villas are hard to book as they’re often fully reserved due to their stunning views and comfortable amenities. At night, the sky is filled with countless bright stars, so many that it feels like you’re surrounded by a sea of stars—super romantic. My husband and I spent every evening counting stars together, feeling incredibly happy and blessed 💞💕💖. The concept of one island, one resort makes the entire island breathtakingly beautiful, especially the beach, which is so stunning it leaves you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The hotel staff are all extremely friendly and greet you with a warm "Hi" whenever they see you 🥰. The island is so large that we got lost a few times, but any staff member we approached was more than willing to guide us to our destination. They were all very kind and courteous 🤗. The highlight of our stay was our personal butler, Bella 🥰. She was incredibly friendly and patient, and besides English, she also spoke Mandarin, making communication seamless. Bella was very thoughtful; when we needed to borrow snorkeling shoes for the beach and got lost due to the island’s size, she patiently explained the directions and even finished her tasks quickly to drive over and escort us back to our villa. Her care and attentiveness truly warmed my heart ❤️. I felt bad for interrupting her work, but she managed to take care of us despite her busy schedule, which was deeply touching. Bella handled all our arrangements at the resort, including dining reservations, spa appointments, and excursions, making our trip smooth and enjoyable. The hotel’s restaurants were all excellent, and the breakfast was incredibly rich and delicious 😋. This time, we opted for the all-inclusive package, which included unlimited alcoholic beverages, allowing us to indulge in food and drinks wherever we went 🍸🍹🍷. It was truly satisfying, and I’ll definitely return to this resort in the future 😁.

🚉Transportation strategy: It is recommended to fly to Male in the morning so that you don’t have to stay in Male. After all, the hotel environment in Male is very average. ❤Recommendation reason: Walu Island! There are very few Chinese people! Very comfortable! Very quiet! The difference between vacation and travel is that vacation should be comfortable and quiet. Lying flat is the real thing. Moreover, the all-inclusive package of Walu Island has a lot of gifts. You don’t have to feel bored or unfun on the island. 🌟Highlights: English is spoken more in the Maldives, tipping is common, and the sun is very hot! Remember to repair after sun exposure!

The honeymoon mecca, the fantasy island Maldives! The place we stayed was Baru Atmosphere Resort, and since it's in the center of the lagoon, you could see the mulberry-colored sea wherever you went. I definitely recommend a resort for honeymoons! If you forget about your daily life and swim in an open space, you'll feel like you're in paradise😆 #BaruBaiAtmosphere #Honeymoon #Maldives #AtmosphereBaru #BaruAtMosphere #MaldiveResort #MaldiveResortRecommendation
