Safari Island

Superb resort. Booked with TUI for 9 nights on an All Inclusive basis, flight was direct with BA. Excellent resort and we were both looked after from the onset. Constant temperature of 31 degrees all week. After landing at MALE, we went to TUI rep who directed us to the Sea planes, approx 30 min wait for our plane and off we went. The plane went to another resort before ours, 30 min journey before we got to Safari. At reception we were given a brief tour of the island and taken to our room wth luggage already there. Room - We had a beach bungalow we had our own bit of beach and a room boy, Limaz, who serviced the room twice a day. Excellent service and very clean, water was replaced daily, clean towels. Fridge and safe in room. Food and drink- Plenty of choice for everyone, you get the same table and waiter throughout your stay, breakfast was great, english bacon, egg cooking stations and food to cater for all. Lunch and dinner was excellent, lots of choice, lots of fish and meat, cooking stations all the time, cooking pasta, steaks, stir frys etc. All buffet style but was never busy. Lots of cheese and fruit. Alot of people went barefeet. AI included a selection of 15 cocktails, beer, wine, coke and multitude of soft drinks. Excursions - Limted entertainment, we had a singer and crab race, there was a beach BBQ but this was chargeable. We did the half day trip to another island, about an hour boat ride, island was bigger and is where the locals live. Take some USD to buy a souvenier and dont forget to tip the crew. Lots of swimming and snorkelling, we took our own float. Pool - Great pool, never busy, pool bar is good, had my drink replenished without asking. Tips - Take beach shoes and float. You get you own bit of beach with a beach bungalow so would avoid a water bungalow. Currency in use is USD to make sure they are new and crisp dollars.

First visit to the Maldives and what an incredible experience! Safari Island is perfect…. With only 80 bungalows it felt like you were completely alone in a tropical paradise🤗 The accomodation, we had a half sea bungalow, was incredible with stunning marine life swimming straight past our steps🪼🦈 The food was outstanding with incredible choice, flavours, local dishes, western classics and more, spoilt for choice👍 The staff were incredible, friendly, helpful and engaging. In particular i would mention Adu and Sanjay at the pool bar and palm bar and our table waiter Amir, they were exceptional at their roles and worked incredibly long hours. The snorkelling and sea life was incredible🦈🪼🤿 I would highly reccomend this island resort and hope to return one day👍👍

What a beautiful rustic island, just now sat waiting to leave on the sea plane and really don’t want to be going back to reality. The staff work tirelessly to ensure you have everything you need to make your staff as perfect as the island is. The pool bar staff are so attentive, always know your drink of choice and always refilled when empty. The house reef is great, plenty of sea life to look at and be amazed by. The restaurant was great, looking into the Indian Ocean when eating and the variety of food was exceptional. Overall we’ve had a wonderful 10 days on the island to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, to top it off our room was decorated and we received a complementary bottle of fizz on our anniversary day.

A truly special place. We have just got back from our honeymoon at Safari Island and we had the best time ever. The wildlife and the views are incredible. We loved all the birds on the island! And the fruit bats! We stayed in a beach bungalow and a water villa and both were very nice! The reef is amazing to snorkel, we loved seeing all of the fish and sharks every day! Food was great, the chefs are brilliant. All of the staff are amazing and make your stay even better. 100% recommend visiting this beautiful resort.
