You can also indulge in a spa experience at Duny Thai Spa or fall asleep to the soothing sound of waves.

The island is surrounded by a white powdery sandy beach and a crystal-clear water lagoon with an attractive house reef for snorkeling and diving. At Safari Island Resort, you can enjoy a variety of island activities and water sports, including windsurfing, stand-up paddling, water skiing, canoeing, wakeboarding, as well as exciting excursions such as Big Game Fishing, Manta Snorkeling, Half-Day Local Island Hopping, Sunset Fishing, Half-Day Snorkeling Adventure, and Sunset + Lucky Dolphin Cruise.

Important Travel Tips for Visiting Maldives

How do you choose the perfect resort in Maldives?

Cost & Budget: Depending on the price, there are different levels of quality, with the Maldives offering a range from relatively affordable accommodations to ultra-luxurious options. The most basic are a 4-star resorts, and then the categories rise to 5-star, 6-star, and 7-star levels.

Travel Purpose: Consider the purpose of your trip and who you are traveling with—friends, family, or as a couple. Understanding your travel purpose and needs will help you select the most suitable accommodation for your Maldives experience.

Location and Access: Consider how you want to travel to the resort. The resorts close to the Male International Airport have speedboat transfers, which are generally faster and cheaper. Those who are in other atolls need a transfer by seaplane or domestic flights, which are more expensive, but also allow you to enjoy impressive views from the air.

Type of Accommodation: Decide if you prefer an over-water villa or a beachfront villa. Each type offers a different experience and views. Over-water villas provide direct access to the sea and are quite private, while beachfront villas offer easy beach access and often come with private pools.

Dining Options: The Maldives resorts typically operate on one of four meal plans: BB (bed & breakfast), half board (breakfast and dinner included), full board (breakfast lunch, and dinner included), or a all-inclusive (all meals and beverages included). Consider your dining preferences and whether you'd like to explore different cuisine options within the resort.

Nature Condition and Service Ratings: Review the ratings on our Maldives page to gain insights into the quality of various aspects including snorkeling, sea views, beaches, privacy, family-friendliness, and sandbanks. Ratings range from 1 star to 5 stars, helping you understand the level of experience each resort offers in these areas.

Amenities and Services: Look for what amenities are important to you. Some resorts offer luxurious spa services, a private pools , water sports facilities, diving centers, and fitness centers. If traveling with children, check if the resort has family-friendly services like kids'clubs and family activities. View more Maldives Travel Tips >>

My Favourite Island
This Was our second trip to Safari Island there is just something magical about this island we absolutely love it there. Water Villas and Garden villas are all well appointed clean and spacious. The staff are amazing very attentive to your needs The pool bar is one of my favourite bars where you can just chill in the water with a cocktail. The palm bar over the water is fabulous to sit out on watching the sharks sting rays eagle rays swim past views out to sea are spellbinding they also do sandwiches at 11am 3-5pm we never missed them. Sunset Bar set up on an evening to watch the sun sink into the ocean.
The food was Fabulous so much choice from the buffet and also fresh cooked offerings as well the head chief was always making sure everyone got what they wanted they really looked after you. All the restaurant staff just went above and beyond.
Joy Diving speechless Nikki is an asset to this island she taught my daughter to dive gave her such confidence in the water. This trip Nikki got my daughter to Advanced diver, she accommodated all of my wishes for dive sites and returned me to those I loved. Nikki we will be back to see you again our love goes out to you.
From the seaplane trip to Island the welcome cold towel and cocktail, to the wave goodbye at the end of our trip I can't speak any highly of Safari.

A wonderful 10 days stay at Safari Island Resort!
We have just returned from 10 days at the Safari Island Resort and had a wonderful time.
We particularly wanted to give a special mention to the Safari Spa which was an incredibly enjoyable experience. Sandy and Orn were wonderful, professional and we went a couple of times. For my husband's birthday they made him a lovely birthday gift which was so thoughtful.
We really enjoyed the spa and I would highly recommend the back, neck and head massage!
We stayed in a beach bungalow which was beautiful and kept spotlessly clean.
The staff were friendly and accommodating.
The food was also excellent.
