We recently had the joy of staying at Alila Kothaifaru Maldives for our Honeymoon, and we must say it was an absolutely exceptional, superb, glorious, breathtaking, beyond amazing experience from start to finish.
The moment of arriving into Male, Faiz greeted us, incredibly warmly and his service was awesome! He took us directly to the sea plane transfer, took care of our bags and documents, checked us in, took us to the club and then escorted to the front of the line for boarding. The seaplane transfer was lovely. Big thank you Faiz for your service. This was just the start of the phenomenal service.
Once we arrived at Alila Kothaifaru Maldives, we were greeted by 5 staff, including the hotel manager, all singing us a traditional welcome song, along with our personal host, Miss Mal. Mal was our host for the entire stay and her care, service, attention to detail and warmth was astonishing. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she was absolutely wonderful. We booked our needs including, water sports, diving etc through her via What’s App. She always responded immediately. We can’t thank you enough for your care. You are a credit to the team.
One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional dining experience. The hotel's restaurants showcased an impressive menu featuring a fusion of local and international cuisine whilst catering for specific dietary requirements. I’m lactose intolerant and every waiter was aware of this, and always accommodated my needs. The food was expertly prepared, bursting with flavors, and beautifully presented. The attentive staff provided excellent recommendations and made sure we had an unforgettable dining experience. They even made us a special dinner that wasn’t on the menu. Additionally, we must offer a shout out to Zaheen & Sharn our waiters who were funny, kind, caring, lovely, attentive, and overall beyond amazing service. Thank you!
We stayed in a Sunset Water Villa and it was simply exquisite. Our room was tastefully decorated, spacious, and impeccably clean. The attention to detail was evident, with every amenity thoughtfully provided. The bed was incredibly comfortable and large (super king), and the luxurious bathroom offered both a deep soaking tub and a refreshing rain shower. The stunning views from our room added an extra touch of elegance and tranquility. There is a full coffee machine in the room and they decorated our bed with a Happy Honeymoon offering along with a beautiful welcome cake.
The hotel's amenities were top-notch. The fitness center was well-equipped with modern exercise machines and offered a range of classes to suit various fitness preferences, which were free. The spa provided a blissful retreat, with skilled therapists who delivered rejuvenating treatments in a serene environment.
The swimming pool and lounge area were perfect for relaxing. We often had lunch delivered to us pool side. The Mirus Bar staff were also amazing, they remembered our drink orders and delivered them to us, without even having to ask.
We completed the ‘Back of House Tour’, which was fascinating! Highly recommend.
The combination of impeccable service, luxurious accommodations, exquisite dining, and superb amenities created an unforgettable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a truly remarkable stay.
Every aspect of our stay, from the warm welcome at check-in to the impeccable service throughout our time there, exceeded our expectations in every way. Their genuine warmth and hospitality truly made us feel like valued guests who were the only ones there.
Honestly, don’t look any further if you are not sure where to stay. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Bloody amazing! Thank you to every single staff member, front and back of house for everything you did for us.
We can’t express enough our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible memories you created for us. The experience has left an everlasting impact on our life, and we are truly thankful for each and every one of them.
