NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort

Andrea Gioco

Luxury experience in Maldives. We had a Sunset Villa with a Private Pool, the room was great, the bed was comfy and huge, the bathroom is an outdoor room that guarantees privacy but gives you the opportunity to experience an outdoor showroom, outdoor bathtub, really cool. The private pool is small, but exactly what you want, on the beach, in front of the sea, incredible. The beach is small, especially in the late afternoon as the sea rises, but the sand is white and the colour of the water is exactly what you would expect from the Maldives. The food in the main restaurant was great, it changes daily, we never found the same dish twice. Everyday they prepare food from a different part of the world, and surprisingly it was always great. The staff is incredibly kind, always ready to help. We visited the hotel with our daughter Noa, and everybody was lovely with her. We booked through the NH website where I found a better price compared to the other websites, and as we booked for a week they organised the internal flight for us (one hour flight from Malè). Overall a really great experience.

It wasn't easy to get here After arriving at Maldives Malle Airport, I'll take another domestic flight.. Since then, I've been on the boat for 20 minutes. But it was worth visiting. I loved the clear water, the beach, and the water life. All the food in the restaurant was delicious, and the food kept changing, so I didn't get tired of it (Stayed for 7 days) The staff were kind.. Thank you especially for making scrambled eggs in the morning I hope that the sea will be kept clean in 10 years, and we should protect the environment in Korea. We saw a turtle shark stingray in the sea in front of our house. I've seen dolphins far away It was a fantastic and happy honeymoon Thank you.

Absolutely no downsides to the NH Collection resort! The coral reef was breathtaking, and the resort itself—its beach, sea, and hotel—equally matched the beauty of the reef. The staff went above and beyond, and the food was exceptional. Let's begin with the hotel. Our water bungalow provided a stunning sunset view, and the room was spotless, modern, and comfortable. The beds were incredibly cozy, and the outdoor bathroom was a delight with its two showers and convenient amenities. The thoughtful touches like vegan toiletries, wooden toothbrushes, and various necessities showed great attention to detail. The bedroom was spacious and well-equipped, with air conditioning and a balcony over the water that was pure magic. Moving on to the food and staff—what a treat! The staff's warmth and attention made us feel incredibly welcomed and taken care of. Special thanks to Santhosh, who made our breakfast and dinner experiences extra special. The cleanliness of the room and the prompt mini-bar restocking were impressive. As for the food, it surpassed our expectations. The ever-changing daily selection was not only visually appealing but also delicious. The kitchen staff and chefs took pride in their creations, ensuring quality and replenishment. Vegetarian options were plentiful, and the salad bar and healthy bites were excellent. Special requests were accommodated willingly, showcasing the chefs' dedication to pleasing every palate. The food's flavors and quality were outstanding, truly surprising us. Don't miss the poolside pizza, with its delectable thin crust and an array of toppings. For entertainment, we tried sunrise yoga—amazing—and the beach cinema, watching "Little Mermaid" under the stars with popcorn. Live performances, like the talented acoustic singer and the vibrant Maldivian night, added to the experience. The reef orientation and education night were informative and enjoyable. Even during departure, the hotel's thoughtfulness shone through. They provided a breakfast and lunch package for our early flight, ensuring our comfort until the very end. The staff's assistance at every airport stop was commendable. For those interested in water activities, the dive center offers a fantastic reef tour that's educational and fun. The wildlife, especially marine life, is abundant. The reef tour and snorkeling excursions were guided by Tarbo, whose passion for wildlife was evident. Remember not to touch or disturb the coral to protect the marine habitat. Speaking of marine life, the lagoons and reef are teeming with wonders. From stingrays to reef sharks, turtles, and colorful fish, the variety is awe-inspiring. The currents around the island provide a unique snorkeling experience, and even in the lagoons, you'll encounter plenty of marine life. The island's ecosystem includes fruit bats, geckos, and birds. Thankfully, mosquitoes were not a nuisance. Weather can be changeable, but brief rains are followed by intense heat. Rashguards are recommended to protect your skin while snorkeling. The resort's shop has essentials like swimming gear, clothes, and sun care products. On rainy days, the spa offers a soothing escape, like our relaxing couples massage. Additional highlights include the welcoming staff, Marooj's helpfulness during rain, and the provision of towels and water during boat tours. Don't forget a waterproof camera to capture marine wonders. The gym, sports activities, kids' club, and superb infinity pool cater to varied interests. Embrace the island's "barefoot" ethos—sand and decking are all you need. Lastly, gaze up at the mesmerizing night sky—it's truly extraordinary!

This place is paradise! We spent there one week with my family in March 2023 and it was amazing time. We had beach villa, close to the main pier and it was perfect for us, close to the hotel facilities and still quiet and private. Very clean rooms with a modern decoration, amazing bathroom with shower under the stars… :) Food- beyond our expectations! Beautiful coral reef just in front of our villa:) Kids club with super friendly staff :) Hope we will come back there soon :)

It was the second time for my wife and me visiting the Maldives and we couldn’t be any happier with our choice of the hotel! Even though the island is located far south within the Maldives coming here didn’t take longer than going to a resort that is nearer to Male by seaplane. Beginning from the arrival the whole staff gave their all to make it a memorable stay for us. We had a contact person (Markhaba) who we could contact at any time via WhatsApp and who provided us with helpful information. Also all employees working in the kitchen or the service area are super nice, attentive and taking great care of your wellbeing. We booked an overwater villa and got assigned #130 which is directed to the sunset side. We liked the location of the villa a lot because we had a view from the terrace on the cristal clear water and could see water animals like sharks, rays and fish even when hanging out. Also the reef is not far away to swim. The furnishing was modern & it got cleaned up twice a day (in the morning & in the evening). Best experience was the house reef which is still in very good condition because the nature is comparably untouched in this Atoll. Every snorkel trip was great, you can see everything you‘d expect: 3 types of sharks, 3 types of rays, turtle, plenty of fish, colorful corals and even dolphins! Would definitely recommend to come here!
