If I ever come to the Maldives again, the only place I’ll stay is Royal Island Hotel. The nature is breathtaking, the beaches are stunning, and the cleanliness of the resort is top-notch. The hospitality of the staff is truly exceptional. A special thanks to Murali, who never missed a single special request of ours during meals. At the amazing spa, Radhika’s magical hands and the quality of the products made every massage unforgettable. And dear Noble — we’re so grateful for his sincere care, constant support, and kindness throughout our stay. Honestly, everyone needs a Noble in their life! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9cced8b1-d28a-42a7-8e05-deedab81c95e-1751747399782.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/850bc65e-5148-408a-9d7f-abf876bff5da-1751747402041.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### ISMAIL Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arjan Feb 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay, just perfect.

The island is idyllic and the accommodation is comfortable with excellent Aircon and fan in the bedroom. The food in the buffet was varied, fresh and delicious and the bar served excellent cocktails. The home reef is vibrant and perfect for snorkelling round. The dive centre gave my husband a great refresher course and good diving opportunities afterwards. Royal Island provides an altogether lovely, relaxing close-to-nature experience! ##### Alison Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gert Feb 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Top class vacation Royal Island Resort & Spa We really enjoy our stay at the Royal Island Resort & Spa. The villas had a high standard including the cleaning service twice a day, thanks to Nor for a good job especially warm welcoming & reunion-wish infront of our leaving. We had a Sunset villa and the view was really amacing. Every morning there were staff cleaning of the Island and beaches after the nights weather! The waiter at the resturant were professional & made us feel special welcomed every single time, special thanks for your service Habib & the hostess Lakhsii. The food at the resturant, the fresh fruit & all delicious were absolute top class. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8102AB65B5C57247AF033599B98939AFB29200271738611300675.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CCDCA4E7F3FE5BB1820F2A55600971E6DD838BB11738611465195.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ED055F0A2E24F9211FE870AFB5EF24EC507EF3FA1738611464609.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/12D5514A41E6ED78F290B524516CF0B1F310123C1738611463004.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gert Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie Jan 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The privacy on the beach, the views were stunning, the marine life was fabulous. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive. Our Villa was a little tired. The beds were rock hard and dips in the mattresses. Many tiles in the bathroom had cracks. The wooden floor was tired. Overall though a fabulous resort. ##### Melanie Stayed 10 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James Oct 8, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Resort The Royal Island Resort & Spa provides splendid beachfront just outside your villa style room. I very much enjoyed my walks along the beach surrounding the island and breathtaking views of the sunset. Snorkeling on site was wonderful, especially around the service jetty pier and the reef areas that surround the island. Royal Island Resort & Spa also provides excellent indoor recreational facilities including table tennis, badmington, racquetball & squash.... especially useful on a rainy day. ##### James ### 4/10 Poor #### Samimbanu Nazir Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### Maldives Excursion ripped off Food below average ##### Samimbanu Nazir Stayed 11 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful Island, but lower your expectations The island is beautiful, but we had the feeling of small minded management the whole time. Just small details everywhere that could have elevated the experience 100%. Two big details worth to mention are: 1) we had 5 days holiday but the island is so far and the transportations was not planned optimally, so we wasted 2 days on getting in and out of the island, just waiting... 2) There were many mosquitos and the island staff kept on fogging the dorms areas EVERYDAY and the smell was so strong we woke up with the taste of the repellent on our mouths every day.... The food was good and with enough variety that we never got bored of it. The staff is kind and prone to service. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emanuele Nov 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All good ##### Emanuele Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely place with a beautiful beach, lots of lush green, a nice pool and good facilities. The food is great! I’m vegan and was satisfied with the options. The spa looks not only beautiful, but the massage was great. Thank you, staff. Noble, he is so involved 🙏 But also the restaurant staff: kind and interested. The cabin was good. Outdoor shower, which I loved, could use a little update. The bed was horrible, though…hard. ##### Sandra Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darcy Jun 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Royal Island is a paradise! This was our first time to the Maldives and didn't know what to expect. The service was top notch from the time we stepped foot on the island. Staff were available to check in all groups arriving on the boat at the same time, so there was no waiting. We were set up with a contact via WhatsApp (Mark) and he kept us up to date with what was going on at the island each day and was available to address all of our questions. The food at the buffet was good and each dinner had a different theme keeping it interesting. Our server Naseer was friendly and efficient. Finally the setting! The island is beautiful! The clearest water outside of a pool I have ever swam in. We were at the west end of the island and there was easy access to snorkelling in the lagoon. There is some damage to the reef, but we still saw so many fish, rays and a shark. We also enjoyed the Wanderlust and Hanifaru Bay snorkelling excursions. The transfers were well planned (don't panic about not having the details until the day before). And bonus, because we had a late departure they gave us late check-out without an extra charge. Overall a fabulous experience. Highly recommend. ##### Darcy Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AUDREY Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cadre paradisiaque, plage et lagon sublime piscine magnifique.

Im Restaurant hatten wir viel Spaß mit unserem routinierten Kellner. Das Essen war abwechslungsreich und in großem Angebot. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in der idyllisch gelegenen Beach Villa an der Lagune. Beim Schnorcheln viele bunte Fische, Schildkröte, kleinere Riffhaie und sogar einen größeren Delphin springen gesehen. Es war schon ein besonderes Erlebnis auf der kleinen schönen Insel den Urlaub verbringen zu dürfen. ##### Petra Stayed 22 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Vommuli-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Maldives-Vommuli-Resort.h15858427.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru](https://www.expedia.ca/Landaa-Giraavaru-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Maldives-At-Landaa-Giraavaru.h1392594.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Furanafushi-Island-Hotels-Sheraton-Maldives-Full-Moon-Resort-Spa.h1326412.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuredhivaru-Hotels-Movenpick-Resort-Kuredhivaru-Maldives.h28858949.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Fasmendhoo-Hotels-Emerald-Maldives-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h22402311.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Miriandhoo-Island-Hotels-The-Westin-Maldives-Miriandhoo-Resort.h25027536.Hotel-Information) > > [Meeru Maldives Resort Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Meerufenfushi-Hotels-Meeru-Maldives-Resort-Island.h1451649.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Park Sun Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nalaguraidhoo-Hotels-Villa-Park-Sun-Island-Resort.h2917878.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Falhumaafushi-Hotels-The-Residence-Maldives.h6563347.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Ritz-Carlton.h58998476.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Maldives Rangali Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Rangali-Island-Hotels-Conrad-Maldives-Rangali-Island.h564176.Hotel-Information) > > [Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gaakoshinbi-Hotels-Sirru-Fen-Fushi-Maldives.h20823848.Hotel-Information) > > [Siyam World Maldives - 24-Hour Premium All-inclusive with Free Transfer](https://www.expedia.ca/Siyam-World.h53715771.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Kedhigandu-Hotels-RIU-Palace-Maldivas-All-Inclusive.h35002724.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Adult-Only Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kooddoo-Hotels-Mercure-Maldives-Kooddoo-Resort.h15439261.Hotel-Information) > > [SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Ehmafushi-Hotels-SAii-Lagoon-Maldives.h30435488.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fonimagoodhoo-Hotels-NH-Collection-Maldives-Reethi-Resort.h19893856.Hotel-Information) > > [Milaidhoo Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Milaidhoo-Island-Hotels-Milaidhoo-Maldives.h13580026.Hotel-Information) > > [Lily Beach Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Huvahendhoo-Hotels-Lily-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h8751436.Hotel-Information) > > [Furaveri Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Furaveri-Hotels-Furaveri-Maldives-Stay-4-Nights-Or-MORE-From-01-May-To-31-Oct-2025.h12809109.Hotel-Information) > > [LUX\* South Ari Atoll](https://www.expedia.ca/Dhidhoofinolhu-Island-Hotels-LUX-South-Ari-Atoll.h1520422.Hotel-Information) > > [Vakkaru Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Vakkaru-Hotels-Vakkaru-Maldives.h18646459.Hotel-Information) > > [Soneva Fushi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kunfunadhoo-Hotels-Soneva-Fushi.h2814412.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Maldives Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kooddoo-Hotels-Pullman-Maldives-Maamutaa-Resort.h39802685.Hotel-Information) > > [Atmosphere Kanifushi - Premium All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Kanifushi-Hotels-Atmosphere-Kanifushi-Maldives.h15114442.Hotel-Information) > > [Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Giravaru-Hotels-Centara-Ras-Fushi-Resort-Spa-Maldives.h5714044.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Emboodhoo-Lagoon-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Maldives.h31994718.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Prestige Water Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Prestige-Water-Villas.h1520790.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayada Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Maguhdhuvaa-Hotels-Ayada-Maldives.h7353026.Hotel-Information)
