Hotel Review

Royal Island Resort Maldives provides a serene escape where guests can truly unwind. Arriving at this stunning resort, you are greeted by lush greenery and the soothing sound of waves lapping against the shore. The design features natural wooden materials, creating a harmonious connection with the tropical environment. Each villa is a private haven, offering picturesque views of the water and a comfortable outdoor seating area. Real guests have praised the spacious Beach Villas for their serene ambiance and well-appointed amenities, including a bathtub and shower setup that adds a touch of luxury.

Dining at Royal Island is a delightful experience, starting with a daily buffet breakfast served at the beachfront Maakaana Restaurant. Guests can also explore seafood specialties at the Raabondhi Restaurant and enjoy refreshments at any of the four bars scattered across the resort. While opinions on the variety of food can vary, many guests highlight the delightful aspects of the buffet, especially on days when the chef excels.

The resort offers a range of facilities, including a large outdoor pool, a fully equipped gym, and tennis courts to engage in some recreational fun. Guests can partake in water sports such as snorkeling—often right off the beach—diving excursions, or simply relax with sunset cruises. The staff here is noted for their attentive service, contributing to the overall guest satisfaction reflected in a score of 9.4/10 from 1,492 reviews.
