InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort

Wonderful experience. The island is lovely, great beaches, great snorkelling, good food, lots of diverse activities, ability to do your own thing and have plenty of privacy, and fantastic for kids of all ages. The staff is fantastic and our curator Iyaaz was absolutely wonderful. He could not have been more charming and helpful and he made our trip all the more special. Also important to mention that the GM Reinold and Christopher the resort manager go out of their way to make everyone’s experience here fabulous. Highly recommend staying here.

Our stay at InterContinental Maldives was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed every moment from the minute we arrived. The resort is stunning, peaceful, and the service is exceptional. My wife, my son Haroun, and I had a truly memorable experience. Everything was perfect—from the villa and cleanliness to the food and the outstanding hospitality. A special thank you to the team for the beautiful birthday surprise they prepared for my son Haroun. It was a wonderful gesture that made his day unforgettable and meant a lot to us as a family. I would also like to thank Sherif, the Curator who was with us during our stay. He was extremely professional, kind, and made everything easier for us, adding real value to our experience. Definitely a place we would love to visit again, and highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort and privacy.

My family and I had a wonderful experience here. Having visited the Maldives before and stayed on other islands, this was our first stay with InterContinental and it exceeded our expectations. The resort is well maintained and beautifully designed. We stayed in one of the beachfront villas, which was spacious, very private, and thoughtfully laid out. You can choose to relax by your villa pool or on your private sunbeds, or head to the main pool if you’re feeling more social. It’s worth noting that the main pool is family-friendly and can be a little lively at times, so for those seeking extra tranquillity, the Retreat area is a great escape. We were very happy with the dining options, with delicious food across all of the restaurants. Our particular favourite was The Lighthouse. We would recommend booking restaurants from day one with your curator, especially if you’re celebrating a special occasion, as some venues are closed on certain dates and availability can be limited. My mother celebrated her birthday during our stay, and the team were incredibly attentive in helping arrange flowers for her. Despite a small issue with the initial bouquet, it was quickly resolved and replaced with a better one. The birthday cake and card were a lovely touch, as was the sweet detail from housekeeping, who created a note on the bed. The spa is also great - we enjoyed some massages and there is a wide variety of treatments available. The gym is open 24/7 and well equipped with machines and free weights and we also loved the sunrise yoga sessions, which we joined on a couple of mornings. What truly made the experience exceptional, however, was the staff. Everyone was warm, friendly, and genuinely hospitable. Special thanks to Chris, our curator Yolanda, Ishaq, Joker, and the housekeeping team for making our stay so memorable. The experiences offered by the hotel are also worth highlighting. On days when the weather wasn’t ideal, the team organised thoughtful alternatives to keep guests entertained. One particular highlight was the resin art session with in house artist Anastasia, where we created beautiful pieces to take home as souvenirs. For those who love the water, there is no shortage of activities, including diving, manta & dolphin excursions, jet skiing, kayaking, windsurfing, and snorkelling. The house reef is stunning, and we saw an abundance of beautiful fish. A small tip: near the shores by the gym there is a resident triggerfish we had a brief encounter with, so it’s worth being aware before swimming too close. We also took part in the turtle safari, which was absolutely magical. We were lucky enough to see four turtles during the trip, and the staff were wonderful throughout the experience. Overall, it was the people - alongside the beauty of the resort - that truly made this stay so special. Thank you to the entire team for such a fantastic experience!

It was an unforgettable 5-day, 4-night anniversary trip at the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort. The entire resort feels new and well-maintained. The scenery around the island is breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters, beautiful sunsets, and a peaceful environment that makes you forget the outside world. Beyond the views, what made the experience even more special was the amazing team at the resort. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind — they made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. A special thanks to my butler, Daisy, & other staffs like, Ashraf, Vincent, Mannan, Chris, Jocelyn, Yolanda, Rauf, Ali & Fairy etc— for their friendliness, professionalism. Thanks to all of you who contributed to this wonderful trip.

What an amazing hotel with exceptional service and hospitality. The water is crystal clear and full of beautiful colourful fish. The restaurants are lovely. Food is excellent and plentiful. I did the Manta excursion which was a truly once in a lifetime experience. The team are all exceptional. It is so hard to name them all as everyone does an amazing job remembering your name your food and drink preference. Thanks to Chris and Yolanda who were always present to check in on me but never intrusive. This was a trip that had been on my wishlist for some time and it exceeded all expectations. I will be back!
