Ayada Maldives

Ayada may not be the newest, most beautiful, or cheapest resort in the Maldives, but it's undoubtedly one of the best we've ever been to. This is, of course, due to the beautiful Gaaf Dhaal Atoll, but also, and perhaps above all, to the staff. It's been a long time since we've encountered such a dedicated team, who truly went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Mr. Simon, the general manager, was everywhere and always there. In the evening, over dinner, he found time to chat with almost everyone. It was even a thrill to see him handing over suitcases at the dock. The Butler service was also a very pleasant experience. Ours was the head butler, Zeeshan Haider, and as you might expect, he was incredibly helpful. We also recommend the team at the diving center; they were professional, helpful, and extremely kind. The food was also excellent. Our favorite restaurant is Kai.

Our 7 night honeymoon at Ayada Maldives last April was out of this world! We had the most incredible time, before even leaving I was already planning when we can come back. From the moment we arrived, Zee welcomed us and was our go-to person! I couldn’t thank him enough for everything he did and made our trip so memorable - from planning our dinners every night to fun activities to do & everything in between I couldn’t fault anything at all! Food at Ayada was amazing also, the fire show on the beach & teppanyaki was defiantly the stand out for us. So many options and having the all-inclusive option was so worth it I wouldn’t do it any other way. We cannot wait to come back again soon, thank you again Ayada Maldives!!!

Ayada Maldives is amazing! We had a great stay in our beautiful ocean villa, with great snorkeling and swimming. Our butler, Nihad, was exceptional and he helped us with all of our reservations and accommodated anything we needed. We loved the breakfast selection, and one of my favorite experiences was dinner at Mizu. Our chefs, Waou and Felix, were so entertaining and truly made this amazing meal into a super fun night. We also enjoyed our Indonesian cooking class with chef Rexy, who was very kind and expert.
