My wife and I booked this resort for our honeymoon. We were both extremely excited as it was our first time visiting the Maldives. We booked with Luxuryescapes, and they along with Pullman resorts made our transportation very simple. Pullman even provided us with guided escorts in every airport.
Let me begin with the pros and then the cons
Pros:
• transportation to/from & throughout the resort was very easy. with a single call to the front desk, you’ll have a buggy right in front of your room for pick up within minutes and sometimes even seconds to take you wherever her you want on the island
• staff was friendly
• food was delicious
• Amenities- snorkeling gear/kayak/ massage vouchers/ one time 1 hour sunset cruise (where we saw dolphins!) photo shoot session are available all free of charge.
• mini bar in room was always replenished daily
• days where the weather was nice, they provided outdoor activities such as a pool party with food and movie night.
Cons:
• Bartenders did not have knowledge on how to make common drinks and the cocktails were not good in any of the places where alcoholic beverages were served
• limited amount of restaurants (2 restaurants a buffet lounge and a pool bar) this we felt like was not enough, we believe there should be at least 2 more restaurants added.
• Pillows/linen reeked of wet towels all week, even when we requested the linen to be changed.
• room service was not provided at the over water bungalow which surprised us as we have previously stayed in resorts that provided butlers that can assist with reservations & any other requests. We were very surprised as this resort was very expensive
•furniture in room and throughout resort looked a bit outdated. The bathroom in the bungalow was the most modern area
•staff member took a photo of our wedding invitation as proof that we were there for our honeymoon. He assured us that the room would be decorated for our honeymoon but unfortunately, this never happened. This did not bother me too much but my wife anxiously awaited to see this every morning when we would return to our room midday.
• beach has a little liter
While it was a nice vacation, the resort didn’t give me a Luxury feel. It’s missing the luxury aspect. Other than being on a beautiful island, it wasn’t really much different than other resorts I’ve been to that were half the cost.

An amazing holiday at Pullman…
Firstly, we’re scoring Pullman 5/5 because we will definitely return to this island, and the positives far outweigh any areas for improvement.
The positives, the AI concept is amazing, you literally have everything included, the drinks are premium, the choice of wines exceptional, the food in Souk Oven was by far the best and this was our favourite place to eat, the choice and the service was beyond excellent. We have to give a big thank you to Nawaz & Uswa and the team because they made our stay (including my 50th birthday) just the best experience ever, they are so good at what they do, they are one of the reasons we will return to Pullman.
The Hub (pool bar) was also amazing and Eva, Daniel and the rest of the team again were fab! The evening entertainment was really good, we sang the night away a few times!!
Bar snacks are excellent also at The Hub.
Saffron Affair is also the best sunset bar we have ever experienced in the Maldives and we’ve been to a few islands. Shout out to the team (Ana? Was great!). The DJ is great too!
We stayed in a beach pool villa (220) on the sunrise side, which we considered to be the best side of the island, close to the amazing sandbanks… paradise! This is the best beach villa we have ever stayed in, in the Maldives and this is not just because of absolutely fabulous floating breakfast I had on the morning of my birthday!! The Villa is huge, great space with large wardrobes, plenty of hanging space, iron, safe etc. there is everything you need in the room, hairdryer, coffee machine, kettle, fridge which is replenished twice daily, bottles of wine/spirits aswell as soft drinks and if you fancy a nibble there are snacks too. The bathroom is as you’d expect in the Maldives with an extra shower space indoors too. The outside areas has a large seating area to chill and a really good sized pool. We had sun all day. Our room guy Shahid was the best, we thank him for looking after us, nothing was too much trouble, and I have to say, Shahid made our stay extra special.
A point to note, the island is big, there are golf buggies or bicycles to help you get around.
More positives include the spa, we had vouchers for lots of different activities including a free massage, I highly recommend the spa, we paid a little extra for a longer massage and it was well worth it, the best massage I’ve had for a long while. We also used the water sports centre and used our vouchers for jet skiing (great fun!) and made use of the kayaks, there are other water sports included too.
If you get chance, go sunset fishing, we did this twice & it was just a good fun experience! And we saw lots of dolphins!
Snorkelling is great, the house reef is well preserved, colourful and plenty to see including numerous turtles, sharks and rays of all kinds, however, there is a negative here and the drop off is approx 400-500 meter walk (or swim depending on tide) from the beach, although if you make the effort it’s worth it when you get there, but not everyone has the energy for the journey out. If I can make a suggestion for improvement I would ask Pullman to organise a shuttle boat out to the reef maybe twice daily, just to drop guests off and they can make their own way back to the island at their leisure. That said, you can also snorkel in the lagoon area and we did see lots of colourful fish, sharks and stingrays there too near to our villa and around the Romeo and Juliet areas near the sandbanks, so perfect if you just fancy a quick look around.
We used the gym, it has everything you need. There is also a golf simulator room and a karaoke room (which we used!) plus other activities, all good fun.
Some areas for improvement - Melange, the buffet restaurant is not the best, we’ve stayed on other islands in the Maldives a few times and this is the poorest in terms of choice, and the quality of food, it just didn’t excite us at all, and we avoided it tbh. But of course, food is a personal choice and we appreciate others may be ok with it. We also tried Phat Chameleon twice, it’s vegetarian and ok, but the restaurant is soulless, no atmosphere, the food is nice but no one really used the restaurant, if we could suggest anything for improvement it would be to change it to a grill offering both vegetarian and meat options just to bring people in.
One final point to note, there are lots of mosquitoes and bugs flying around this island and although Pullman do their best to keep them at bay, we (& lots of other guests) got bit (a lot!!) so recommend taking some insect repellent and creams with you!! Don’t let this put you off though.
As we said, the positives far outweigh any negative on this island, we highly recommend it and will definitely stay here again, it was an amazing holiday, one of the best we’ve had, thank you to all the staff at Pullman you do a fantastic job we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Amazing Honeymoon
The Pullman is absolutely incredible. Anyone thinking of booking, especially for a honeymoon should do it! We travelled from Manchester to Dubai and Dubai to Male (4 hours) then had another 1.5 hour flight to the island then a speed boat over to this incredible place. Yes it is a long distance away but wow, it is so worth it, especially if staying for longer than 5 nights. We were kindly upgraded to an ocean villa with pool (we booked 9 nights). We were absolutely blown away by this gesture and the villa was so spacious, clean and modern. The bathroom was incredible. Staff were all so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The cocktails everywhere but especially in the sol rising were amazing. The food at the melange buffet was varied every night with chefs available to cook you whatever meat you desire. The quality of the food was some of the best we have had which I never thought a buffet could do. There is plenty to do, it rained on a couple of days we were there (rainy season) but we found ourselves in the Italian a la carte (sol rising) drinking cocktails and playing games over at the sports lounge. The spa is outstanding and well worth a visit, especially if a rainy day arrives. The only thing we found repetitive was the same singers each night at the hub (main bar) but we think this was due to it being out of season. Thankyou to all the staff at the Pullman, we had the most incredible honeymoon. I cannot wait to return some time in the future

50th birthday fabulousness
I decided to treat myself and my partner to a holiday of indulgent decadence in the Maldives to celebrate my 50th birthday. I chose the Pullman as I had heard amazing things about it from a client who had visited a few months prior. It was, from the outset, outstanding. From the moment we met the representative at Male airport to the afternoon (13 days later) we departed the island we were treated to the best, five-star hospitality that the resort is famous for.
Accommodation
We opted for the ocean villa with pool. It is a very hefty increase in cost having a pool out on the ocean compared to some of the other alternatives, but I have zero regrets. We literally sat or stood in or around our pool for hours on end looking out for the marine life swimming past or under our villa. Our visitors included: sting rays, eagle rays, sharks, turtles, numerous fish and even a guitar shark on a couple of occasions. We would jump in to snorkel with them whenever we saw something of interest. I often felt like a little kid and full of wonder at the natural World and I also felt so blessed to be so close to it in this way. These experiences were one of the best things about the accommodation we chose. I saw the other options around the island. Don’t misunderstand me: they looked terrific, but I am so pleased I paid the extra for this absolute ocean front experience. The villa itself was beautiful, spotless, well maintained and made up daily with everything you could need or want. We loved the outdoor shower and window in the floor to the ocean. On the days we were not scuba diving, we would swim from our villa to the House reef and spend hours snorkelling there, reluctantly dragging ourselves back to the villa to reapply sunscreen.
Food, alcohol
We loved the Souq Oven for dinner and lunch and when we were not there we were at Melange, the quality, diversity and variety on offer at Melange was simply outstanding. The seafood night was spectacular: lobsters galore and fresh, tasty sushi were standouts for us. The house champagne was our beverage of choice to start at most meals, but we also enjoyed the choice of reds and a few poolside, sundowner cocktails from the Hub also (mango frozen daiquiri was my fave). If you are a foodie, you will love it here. Nothing is too much trouble, and you can request special dishes and the friendly talented chefs will make it for you. We were treated to a meal cooked especially for us by Executive Chef Nyoman after a chance encounter chat with her. Wow, wow, wow what a treat that was. Chef Nyoman heads a very talented team of chefs and staff.
My partner organised a surprise private dinner for my actual 50th birthday on the Panorama Lawn. We had a private Chef (Tara…. she was fantastic) that cooked us the best lobster I have ever tasted. This venue is where people get married. This was one of the best nights of my life. The sunset, the service, the venue, the food, the drinks and sharing it all with my partner made it a 50th birthday of dreams.
Activities
I am a very active person and love to move as much as relax when I am on holiday. The gym is great with everything you need for a decent workout. We played tennis in the evenings on a few occasions, we even enjoyed a couple of games of darts in the Skillz area. There is table tennis too and gaming if you fancy that. We snorkelled on the House reef (see above) and we did 8 scuba dives in total. My partner learned specifically in preparation for this holiday, she is now spoilt for diving anywhere else! The dive boat, equipment and service was five-star all the way. The crew pretty much do everything for you apart from the dive itself. The diving was spectacular. We didn’t do some of the advanced dives as my partner wasn’t qualified, but it didn’t matter as we had 8 beautiful dives. If you are an advanced diver there are other options for you alongside the various reef dives we did.
There is no denying that this is not a budget holiday location. It is expensive for most of us humans but boy oh boy you will be rewarded with a holiday of a lifetime for your hard-earned dollar investment.
I will never forget my special 50th birthday at The Pullman, the memories will stay with me my whole lifetime. If you are looking for a high-end, island paradise and you can splash out for it, then this is the place.

Room for improvement
During our stay at Pullman Maldives in April, my partner and I experienced several issues that ultimately resulted in an unsatisfactory experience, especially when compared to our previous trips to the Maldives. We would like to offer our review based on 6 specific categories: Arrival, Accommodation and Nature, Trash Restaurants and Bars, Reservations, and Bikes.
ARRIVAL
Our poor experience began upon our arrival at Koodoo airport, where we found no buggies or cars waiting to transport us to the boat. After traveling for 24 hours, we had to walk 500 meters in extreme heat to reach the boat. Once there, we were instructed to wait under a palm tree next to a trash heap while our luggage was loaded onto the boat. This experience felt highly unprofessional for a five-star resort, especially considering the lack of refreshments provided to us during this time. Additionally, upon arrival at Pullman resort, we were not offered any refreshments and instead were ushered onto a buggy with two other couples for a tour of the island. We then had to wait for the other couples to be checked into their villas before we were able to check into ours, a delay that felt unnecessary and unprofessional.
ACCOMMODATION & NATURE
Despite the unpleasant arrival, the island, its sandbanks, and beach pool villa were very beautiful. However, there were a significant number of mosquitoes and ants present, and the AC unit in our villa (villa 215) was quite loud.
TRASH
While the beach was regularly cleaned to remove seaweed, we did find a lot of trash around the island, especially plastic bottles. I would like to highlight that the trash did not come from the tourists, since the plastic bottles were from cleaning detergents and cooking oils. We do believe that maintaining cleanliness and tidiness is very important in creating a desirable guest experience.
RESTAURANTS & BARS
Unfortunately, we found the service in most of the resort's bars and restaurants to be subpar, with the exception of Solrising for lunch and Souq Oven for dinner. It was not uncommon to wait 15 minutes for a drink, and we often had to approach the bar to place an order in the Hub bar. The drinks themselves were hit or miss, with Solrising making excellent drinks, while the Hub bar's offerings were often tasteless or undrinkable. The waiters at Melange restaurant were kind, but the service was slow. The food itself was generally good, except for the fruit, which was surprisingly tasteless given our previous experiences in the Maldives. On another note we would like to emphasize that there were many talented and very kind chefs that would cook anything you want.
RESERVATIONS
We found the need to make reservations for nearly everything to be excessive. While we understand the necessity of reservations for restaurants with limited seating, requiring a reservation for Souq Oven three days in advance during a holiday felt overly restrictive and stressful. Also, for an island this big having only 3 restaurants and one of them being vegetarian is simply not sufficient.
BIKES
As the island is quite large, bicycles were the best mode of transportation. However, we were disappointed to learn that renting a bike cost $10 per day per person, which felt excessive given the resort's five-star status and already high cost. We would recommend that the resort automatically assign bikes to guests free of charge, as many other resorts do. Alternatively, guests could call a buggy for transportation, but the waiting time for this service was often around 20 minutes.
Overall, while Pullman Maldives has some positive aspects, such as its beautiful island and villas, we encountered several issues that detracted from our overall experience. We hope that our feedback will help the resort to improve in areas where it is lacking and continue to offer a high level of service to its guests.

Expected More
My wife and I booked this resort for our honeymoon. We were both extremely excited as it was our first time visiting the Maldives. We booked with Luxuryescapes, and they along with Pullman resorts made our transportation very simple. Pullman even provided us with guided escorts in every airport.
Let me begin with the pros and then the cons
Pros:
• transportation to/from & throughout the resort was very easy. with a single call to the front desk, you’ll have a buggy right in front of your room for pick up within minutes and sometimes even seconds to take you wherever her you want on the island
• staff was friendly
• food was delicious
• Amenities- snorkeling gear/kayak/ massage vouchers/ one time 1 hour sunset cruise (where we saw dolphins!) photo shoot session are available all free of charge.
• mini bar in room was always replenished daily
• days where the weather was nice, they provided outdoor activities such as a pool party with food and movie night.
Cons:
• Bartenders did not have knowledge on how to make common drinks and the cocktails were not good in any of the places where alcoholic beverages were served
• limited amount of restaurants (2 restaurants a buffet lounge and a pool bar) this we felt like was not enough, we believe there should be at least 2 more restaurants added.
• Pillows/linen reeked of wet towels all week, even when we requested the linen to be changed.
• room service was not provided at the over water bungalow which surprised us as we have previously stayed in resorts that provided butlers that can assist with reservations & any other requests. We were very surprised as this resort was very expensive
•furniture in room and throughout resort looked a bit outdated. The bathroom in the bungalow was the most modern area
•staff member took a photo of our wedding invitation as proof that we were there for our honeymoon. He assured us that the room would be decorated for our honeymoon but unfortunately, this never happened. This did not bother me too much but my wife anxiously awaited to see this every morning when we would return to our room midday.
• beach has a little liter
While it was a nice vacation, the resort didn’t give me a Luxury feel. It’s missing the luxury aspect. Other than being on a beautiful island, it wasn’t really much different than other resorts I’ve been to that were half the cost.

An amazing holiday at Pullman…
Firstly, we’re scoring Pullman 5/5 because we will definitely return to this island, and the positives far outweigh any areas for improvement.
The positives, the AI concept is amazing, you literally have everything included, the drinks are premium, the choice of wines exceptional, the food in Souk Oven was by far the best and this was our favourite place to eat, the choice and the service was beyond excellent. We have to give a big thank you to Nawaz & Uswa and the team because they made our stay (including my 50th birthday) just the best experience ever, they are so good at what they do, they are one of the reasons we will return to Pullman.
The Hub (pool bar) was also amazing and Eva, Daniel and the rest of the team again were fab! The evening entertainment was really good, we sang the night away a few times!!
Bar snacks are excellent also at The Hub.
Saffron Affair is also the best sunset bar we have ever experienced in the Maldives and we’ve been to a few islands. Shout out to the team (Ana? Was great!). The DJ is great too!
