Ayada Maldives

Very nice experience in ayada. We saw very beautiful sunset during sunset cruise. And food is wonderful here. Staff are very friendly, and Ava take care us alot.

Very happy to stay with Ayada, and thank you my butler Ava and her colleague Zeeshan to take care of us. I hope I can come back soon.

Recommend Lagoon sunset villas. Firstly stayed at beach villas, but sunrise not recommend much.staff was good. Especially Mr.Ali was fantastic turkish guy, gentleman, was careful for everything. Ocean water was so hot and you relax on water when swimming. Foods good.cleaning good.

Feeling spoilt again after another week at this beautiful resort . We stayed in the Sunset Lagoon Suite with pool providing us with direct ocean access and an amazing outdoor bathroom with garden. Food and beverage was excellent as was the great value Spa . The surf team of Fish and Kelly managed to put us in the best waves available every day . Definitely planning to return next year.

Our recent 10-day stay at Ayada Maldives was truly memorable. We arrived by boat after spending 10 days at Halcyon, and the first thing that struck us was the incredibly clear, bright blue water and the dazzling white sand — so intense it was almost blinding. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and given a tour by our butler before being escorted to our beach villa with a private pool. The villa itself was somewhat smaller and closer to the neighbouring villa compared to rooms we’ve experienced in other resorts, but its location directly on one of the most stunning beaches we’ve ever seen more than made up for it. The house reef was beautiful and offered great snorkeling opportunities. At low tide, it can be quite shallow, so you need to be careful when swimming over the diverse coral, but the underwater life is absolutely worth it. One of the highlights of our stay was a private island excursion, where we enjoyed a delicious picnic. These untouched islands do face the challenge of plastic washing ashore, but the staff had clearly made a great effort to clean it up. It truly gave us a Robinson Crusoe feeling for a few hours, although the reef there was slightly disappointing compared to Ayada’s. What really sets Ayada apart is the food and the people. The main restaurant offered an impressive variety every day, with live cooking stations and beautifully presented dishes. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive — nothing was ever too much to ask. Whether it was a special breakfast request or a particular fruit, everything was arranged with a smile. The spa experience was also outstanding. We booked four massages each during our stay, and Sugi, Lin, and Diane pampered us with incredible skill and care. Finishing with Coco’s ice cream afterwards was the perfect touch. There were just a few minor downsides. We missed having a padel court — Ayada offers many sports and activities, but unfortunately no padel yet (hopefully in the future!). Water at the table was charged, although still water in the room was complimentary. The use of bicycles was very convenient, but we understood they may come at an extra cost if you don’t book your stay directly through the resort. Our villa was kept impeccably clean by our always-smiling housekeeper Nasrin, seeing him instantly lifted our mood. We would also like to give a special thank you to Tulsi, the chef who prepared our delicious breakfasts and always took time for a friendly chat, and Koya, the kind waiter who made sure we had our favorite table and even anticipated our orders. The resort is beautifully maintained and offers a truly relaxing atmosphere. If Ayada ever adds a padel court, we will definitely return 😎!
