Ayada Maldives

The room we stayed in was the Sunset Family Ocean Suite with Pool. Ayada gave us a great experience in terms of room size, geographical environment, and AI package. We had a very comfortable stay. We would like to especially thank INAANI, the waiter at Magu restaurant, for his thoughtful service. This is an island I would love to visit again.

I spent my honeymoon with my husband in this enchanting paradise, and it was an incredible experience. The hotel and rooms were impeccably clean, the staff was exceptionally friendly, and the service was outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious. I have only positive things to say about this unforgettable stay. A special thank you to our butler, Ali, and to chef Shuhaam!

Amazing place! The resort is like a dream come true! We were very impressed with the staff and would like to give special thanks to Burak from Turkey and Misdar the Chef De Cusine. Special greetings from Ivan and Alanna from Bulgaria.

We came to Ayada Maldives for our honeymoon, and it was truly the most incredible experience. Everything from the people to the food to the snorkeling to the villa was unforgettable. We’ve been lucky to travel to some beautiful places, but this was on another level. The team made our honeymoon feel so special in every possible way. A few shoutouts to the amazing people who made our stay so memorable: Dev, our butler, was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived, he took care of everything. He was so kind, patient, and always responsive. No request ever felt like too much, and he somehow always knew what we needed before we even asked. He made the entire trip seamless and stress-free, always with a smile. We genuinely adored him. Notta was our snorkeling guide for both the private house reef excursion and the private snorkeling safari. I was really nervous about the reef sharks, and he was so patient and calming. Thanks to him, we ended up loving snorkeling so much that we booked again the next day. He made us feel completely safe and treated us like royalty, taking us to beautiful reefs and making the whole experience feel VIP. Rasih took care of us at Magu during breakfast and dinner, and also during our beachside teppanyaki dinner at Mizu. He remembered our drink orders, was always so warm and friendly, and truly made every meal feel personal. Faroog, our favorite server at Zero Degree, felt like a friend by the end of the trip. He was so attentive, knew our usual orders, and always made sure we were taken care of. We loved seeing him every day. Wahyu was our teppanyaki chef at Mizu, and he was hilarious. His cooking show was so much fun and the food was amazing. He brought so much energy to the experience and made it one of our favorite nights. As for the resort itself, it was absolutely stunning. We stayed in an ocean villa with a private pool and loved every minute. I had read reviews saying the villas are far from everything, but that wasn’t true at all. We used the bikes and got around quickly, and on rainy days Dev picked us up in a buggy. The room was beautiful, spotless, and so well taken care of. Housekeeping was great, and the minibar was well-stocked (they also brought any alcohol we requested). The food was fantastic across the board. Magu had a rotating dinner theme each night and everything was fresh and delicious. Zero Degree was our favorite for lunch and drinks. Mizu was an amazing teppanyaki experience right on the beach. The entertainment was also a highlight. The fire show was incredible and a must-see, and the carnival they hosted one day was a fun surprise. We also really enjoyed the excursions. Finally, transportation was smooth from start to finish. Ayada took care of every detail from the moment we landed in Malé, and we never had to worry about a thing. If you’re thinking about Ayada for your honeymoon or a special trip, do it. Truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had.

Ayada Resort – A Slice of Paradise Worth the Journey As a seasoned traveler who has stayed in countless hotels and resorts worldwide, I can confidently say Ayada in the Maldives stands among the very best. From its breathtaking location to its flawless service, this hidden gem exceeded every expectation. 1. Choosing Ayada: With so many atolls and islands in the Maldives, selecting the right resort felt overwhelming—until I discovered Adaya. It is just 20 miles north of the Equator, its tropical climate is reliably warm and stable, making it an ideal destination. We traveled at the end of April. 2. The Journey: While reaching Ayada requires an extra hour of domestic flight from Malé followed by a 50-minute speedboat ride, the resort’s seamless coordination turned the trip into part of the adventure. Transfers, luggage handling, and even a comfortable lounge were expertly arranged. Pro tip: Plan your arrival/departure flights to enjoy the mesmerizing aerial views of turquoise lagoons and coral reefs—it’s a preview of the beauty to come. 3. The Accommodation: We stayed in a Sunset Suite (600’s), a sprawling single-level overwater villa with three distinct living areas, crafted from rich, solid wood. The villa’s design blends luxury and privacy effortlessly: a private pool, a deep soaking tub, and direct access to the lagoon from our deck. Waking up to uninterrupted views of the Ocean felt like owning our own piece of sky and sea. 4. Privacy & Atmosphere: If you, like me, crave tranquility over crowds, Adaya delivers. The resort’s intimate scale ensures peace, with spacious villas thoughtfully spaced apart. It’s just you, the ocean, and the horizon—no distractions. 5. Dining & Experiences: The resort’s themed dinners were a highlight. Each night brought a new culinary adventure. I loved the Sea Salt Night under the stars to a beachside fire show that left us breathless. The chefs’ creativity shines, especially considering the resort’s remote location. 6. Service Excellence: Ayada’s staff elevates the experience from great to extraordinary. Our butler, Zeeshan was a gem—attentive, patient, and always just a WhatsApp message away. Whether arranging a last-minute excursion or fulfilling a special request, every detail was handled within minutes. 🥇Final Thoughts: Yes, Ayada is an investment—but one worth making. As someone who believes life’s joys are earned, I’d return in a heartbeat. Beyond the luxury, however, lies a sobering truth: The Maldives’ low-lying islands face an uncertain future. Scientists warn that rising seas could erase 80% of these islands within decades. Visit soon. Swim in the lagoons, marvel at the coral reefs, and watch the sun ignite the sky at dusk. Learn about the atolls’ fragile ecosystems and the resilience of Maldivian culture. Ayada isn’t just a resort—it’s a reminder of our planet’s fleeting beauty. What happens here echoes globally. See it, savor it, and carry its lessons home. Verdict: Ayada is more than a vacation; it’s a lifetime memory. Book now, cherish forever.

Absolutely magical honeymoon at Ayada Maldives! The resort is stunning—pristine beaches, crystal-clear water, and our overwater villa was pure luxury. Our butler, Natu, made it extra special—super attentive and friendly, ensuring every moment was perfect. Food was incredible, and the whole vibe was paradise. Can’t wait to return!

Had the best time here with my girlfriend for the 4 nights we stayed. The stuff is super nice and helpful. We stayed in the ocean villa and it was amazing, with a beautiful view, access to the ocean, complimentary bikes, food was also really good and alot of options. The fire show was super cool & also the grill dinner buffet on the beach with amazing sunset view.. highly recommended!!

It is a long journey coming to Ayada but it’s totally worth it. When you arrive on the island you are welcomed by your personal butler. Our butler was Dev. We were very lucky with him because I read a lot of good reviews about him! The villa was just like the pictures. We loved it😍 The food was also very delicious (my compliments to the Dutch chef, who also greeted us in Dutch - we were very surprised😃) We also had private dining one night to celebrate a special occasion (definitely recommended to experience this). Dev made a very beautiful set up on the beach, which we will remember for a long time. His service alone was worth 5 stars ✨ I was always able to reach him through whatsapp and he replied quickly. The other staff was also very nice and friendly. They will always greet you. Of course there were also some things that could be improved. For example the AC makes a lot of noise and you had to wait quite a bit for the drinks after ordering. But all together Ayada is one of the most beautiful resorts in the Maldives. I hope they will treat Dev good so he will still be there when we come back (because we will for sure)!
