ROBINSON MALDIVES

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying on this wonderful island for the second year in a row. We simply couldn't resist coming back because it's incredibly rare to find such a perfect combination of outstanding service and breathtaking natural beauty. The house reef surrounding the island is absolutely spectacular. Every day you can admire an amazing variety of marine life, including turtles, sharks, rays, octopuses, moray eels, and countless colorful tropical fish. Snorkeling here is truly unforgettable. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the entire island team for making our stay so special. A very special thank you to Zhaniya from the Front Office for her incredible support in Russian. For two consecutive years, Zhaniya has always been there to help us with every question or request, responding quickly and professionally. Her assistance has been truly invaluable, and we deeply appreciate everything she has done for us. We will always remember your kindness! Many thanks to General Manager Andreas for his warm hospitality and for personally preparing a delicious Eggs Benedict breakfast for us while classical music was playing. It was such a unique and memorable experience that perfectly reflects the genuine care shown to guests. A big thank you to the Executive Chef for the diverse menu and creative culinary ideas. Every lunch and dinner was a real pleasure. We especially enjoyed the special set menus offered during our stay, and we truly appreciated that one of the courses was happily replaced upon our request when it wasn't to our taste. Our sincere thanks also go to Chefs Prasath and Sidath, who were always attentive and happy to prepare dishes exactly the way we preferred at their live cooking stations. Thank you to Philipo from the restaurant for always having my favorite beer waiting for me whenever I arrived for lunch. It was such a thoughtful personal touch! A huge thank you to Maliik, the bartender, for his fantastic cocktails, great energy, and constant smile. Every visit to the bar was a pleasure. Thank you to Shiyaad, the bar waiter, for always serving our drinks promptly and making sure our glasses were never empty. A very special thank you to Pool Bartender Sajjadh. Your cocktails made every day even more enjoyable, and it was wonderful that you remembered me from our visit last year. That personal recognition meant a lot. Many thanks to Suman from Housekeeping for always doing such an excellent job behind the scenes. Everything was spotless throughout our stay, and your hard work never went unnoticed. These are only some of the amazing people who made our holiday unforgettable. We are equally grateful to every member of the team. Despite what has clearly been a challenging year for tourism in the Maldives, your dedication, professionalism, and genuine hospitality continue to maintain an exceptionally high standard of service. Thank you all for another unforgettable vacation. We sincerely hope to return to your beautiful island again in the future!

A barefoot paradise I’ll definitely return to I have visited the Maldives before, but this was my first stay at ROBINSON Maldives—and it certainly won’t be my last. From the moment I arrived at Malé Airport, everything was seamless. The domestic flight, followed by the speedboat transfer to the island, was perfectly organised and a wonderful introduction to what was to come. The island itself is stunning. You can walk around it in about 30–40 minutes, yet every stroll feels different. Colourful tropical flowers, crystal-clear turquoise water and swaying coconut palms create a setting unlike any other island I’ve visited in the Maldives. I spent most of my stay in a Beach Villa, which I absolutely loved. Walking straight onto the beach each morning, snorkelling from the shore and ending each day watching the sunset quickly became my daily routine. For my final night, I stayed in an Exclusive Reef Water Villa with Private Pool, and it was the perfect way to finish the holiday. If your budget allows, I highly recommend experiencing both. Before travelling, I downloaded the ROBINSON App, which made planning each day incredibly easy. It even reminded me that this is a true barefoot island—so there was no need to pack shoes! I also appreciated the thoughtful details throughout the stay, including the full-size Rituals amenities in the villa. As a solo traveller, I felt welcome from day one. Whether I wanted quiet time or to meet other guests, there was always the opportunity. The daily Meet & Greet before dinner created a relaxed atmosphere where it was easy to connect with people from all over the world. The snorkelling was exceptional. Every time I entered the water there was something new to discover, and during my stay I was lucky enough to see turtles, baby sharks and even dolphins. The Coral Garden excursion is definitely worth doing. The food exceeded every expectation. The quality was consistently outstanding, with an incredible variety every day. The Sushi Symphony evening and the Beach BBQ under the stars were particular highlights. What truly makes ROBINSON Maldives special, however, is its people. Every Robin I met genuinely cared about creating memorable experiences. It wasn’t just that they remembered my favourite drink or anticipated my needs—it was the warmth, authenticity and genuine passion behind every interaction that made the biggest impression. Before you leave, don’t miss the boutique. The talented tailor, Nilantha, creates beautiful made-to-measure clothing. I came home with three outfits that will always remind me of this very special place. ROBINSON Maldives isn’t simply a beautiful island—it’s a place where outstanding natural beauty is matched by exceptional hospitality. Thank you to everyone for an unforgettable holiday. I can’t wait to return.

We dined at YABANE and it was fantastic. Head chef Juber made the evening truly special. Thank you very much for this lovely evening.

The facilities at Robinson Hotel made me feel very comfortable. The scenery was very beautiful. More importantly, we had a great snorkeling experience! The snorkeling guide naushad at the snorkeling center was extremely professional, meticulous and patient, with a very friendly attitude. It gave me and my friend who was trying snorkeling for the first time a wonderful experience! dj tiger has contributed many wonderful songs for us on many nights, allowing us to fully enjoy every night on the island! This trip was extremely enjoyable! I highly recommend Robinson!

Our 2nd Robinson Club visit and 10th Maldives trip, so we knew what to expect but our expectations were surpassed! Arrival Landed at 8.55, met at international arrivals by the Robinson representative by name, checked into 11.40 flight, escorted to the domestic lounge. Flight was via GKK so took 2+ hours. More Robinson staff at KDM, swift delivery of us and luggage to the boat for 35 minute ride. Lovely welcome on arrival jetty, given bubbly and fast check in with Emma. We'd missed lunch but were offered complimentary club sandwiches on room service. Room We booked a standard beach villa and our request was granted to be on the south east corner, as we like the peace & quiet and a beach walk to meals. Room was comfortable, great aircon, well appointed, lovely Rituals toiletries. Plenty of storage in wardrobe and drawers. Wooden surfaces were a little sticky and not all the plugs worked. Room cleaning was very thorough, only missed 1 day, possibly as the staff worked hard all day to set up their first included beach bbq for all guests. On our last day we had an unexpected free upgrade for 1 night in a new exclusive reef water villa, which was an amazing experience! They transferred us with luggage at 12 and after lunch we enjoyed relaxing on the big terrace on the comfy loungers and in the cool private pool. Meals It's not a buffet, it's show cooking and it's exceptional. Every meal we were surprised by the variety, quality, presentation and passion of all the chefs and staff serving. Breakfast don't miss the scrambled eggs cooked in 2 minutes with smoked salmon and avocado from the fridge or bircher muesli and of course a tasty pastry to finish. Lunch the star was the freshly made stir fries or make your own tuna poke bowl, fresh salads, pasta & pizza station. Dinner on my god just amazing. We ate steak, lamb, ribs, ostrich, reef fish, giant prawns, steamed mussels, curries even fish & chips served by Andreas himself! We limited ourselves to 3 mini desserts a night, most were delicious but some had too much gelatine. Drinks We love the sustainable approach to water and staff happily provided an ice bucket at dinner as it does get warm quickly! We enjoyed pool side drinks from Saiaid who makes an expert Aperol spritz and the sundowner bar for a perfect margarita (no salt!) or Hugo spritz. Included sparkling wine was very drinkable especially when the team delivered it your room or sun lounger twice a week with music and dancing! The only thing missing was frozen drinks as we do love a mango daiquiri or margarita. Snorkelling Our no 1 criteria for a Maldivian island is the house reef and Robinson has one of the best. Easily accessible via the frequent posted cut outs or the jetty. We snorkelled every day bar 1 (stormy weather), always saw sharks, often 1 of the 2 turtles and countless tropical fish. Octopus, lion fish, eagle ray, sting ray, grouper to name some of the big ones. Several times we saw schools of parrotfish 50-200 strong cruising the reef. Activities We loved the 15.30 daily games, playing Viking chess, boccia, cornhole. I took several classes Aqua fit, Tabata, yoga from the in house and visiting fitness professionals. We attended the super fun night time pool party, which was basically an old skool rave with swim up bar, floating canapés, dj and inflatables. I'm sure the other shows were very good but they were too late for us, having finished dinner at 8.30. Service Robinson have not only well trained staff but a genuinely friendly approach, encouraging interaction at all levels, along with providing great service in every department. As long as we can afford it, we will be back and highly recommend this adults only paradise island.
