I’m really not a rare traveler and this was our 5th trip to Maldives up to now – but I could really consider Island Hideaway to be one of the best places I’d ever been. We (me and my husband) spent 10 wonderful days on the island and they fled as one. Nature is amazing, vegetation – flourishing, house reef... More

Island Hideaway is the perfect combination of luxe and clean. We don't like 5 star hotels to be all shiny shiny, this one is modern Maldivian - all sand, white and wood tones. And very luxurious. Yes it's expensive, but it's the Maldives - what do people expect to pay for ultimate luxury, amazing service in the middle of the... More

Despite a beautiful surroundings , amazing nature, a great place for snorkeling this resort is far away from being " a palace ".

We have recently spent a 2-week holiday here from 20th February until 7th of March 2013. My husband and I travelled with our 2 sons aged 6 and 7.

We really enjoyed it. I was told that it is busy at the time we were there, yet I did not notice. Butler was kind. We were not demanding, so we can not assess the capability of staff. Jasmine garden villa is the right choice in the Maldives for 100% privacy. Internet in restaurants is a good advantage. Yet it... More
