It is a beautiful secluded property. The service is great with your own villa host to help you with everything. The rooms are very well done and give you a true feeling of luxury. There are only 2 proper restaurants but the one called 'Medium Rare' is excellent. We loved the couples therapy at the spa and the complimentary snorkeling.... More

We spend a week here in 2008 (just enough time) could not have asked for more - peaceful, excellent service & food. It rained on 2 days 0 but there was plenty to do around the small island. More

We had a lovely stay. The staff were very accommodating and attentive. The food was amazing (and came with recepies on request). Candle lit dinner on the pier was a special touch. Our every request was catered for. Highly recommended. My wife is terrified of spiders, and the island has several large species (mostly inland), but the landscaping was immaculate... More

Maldives have some very good resorts, and we’ve been already in some, so that was our idea when we made the reservation for this trip – to relax and enjoy. And really the place is breathtaking. The hotel is not a very luxurious one – only the price is a luxury, 3 thousand US$ a day. The problem was our... More

My husband and I stayed at the Beach House Maldives for 5 days in early November for the second half of our honeymoon after 9 days of traveling in India.

Dear RhettSCP, It is a great pleasure to know that your vacation turned out to be everything you expected especially after the unfortunate issue of the seaplane at the start. To clarify your point on the seaplane, the resort does have two dedicated luxury seaplanes in which 99% of our guests are transferred to and from the airport. They operate... More

Stayed here earlier this year. Definitely not up to the standard. Don't ruin your once in a lifetime holiday here. Management are indifferent to concerns - they will put a public face on forums, linkedin, but after 6+ months they still haven't responded to my written complaint despite assurances they would. Compared to other properties in the Maldives and that... More

We have been to the Maldives several times before and always stayed at the amazing Baros but it was fully booked and therefore we were recommended to stay at the Waldorf Astoria - this hotel is not even close to the standards of other WA properties or any 5 star hotels period.
