OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi Maldives

Matthew Neureuther

Amazing food! It was very hot in you but the room was always a haven and well air conditioned. The scenery is stunning but the food was the highlight. The underwater restaurant was amazing as well for the fish and we got to see several sharks there. Overall a great honeymoon, some kids around but not many, in the water villas were so peaceful.

Having been to the Maldives on 2 previous occasions I would say that this resort is not a typical Maldives resort. The restaurant /buffet was not a pleasant experience. The copper pot at additional cost was very good and we ate there regularly. It was too noisy by the pool and it lacked many places to sit outside quietly with a drink in the evening. Not a place I would return to.

Absolutely beautiful Island with stunning views. The resort is child friendly however the food choices for children is very limited. The music at poolside was also not always appropriate for kids as it had some swearing! Excursions and anything extra you may want to buy (snacks for kids etc) are VERY expensive as they add on government and tourist tax on everything (ice cream from shop was just under £4 for a cornetto!) Staff advised that as everything is imported, they have to add this double tax. Overall a lovely memorable family holiday.

We spent five nights in a water villa at Oblu Xperience Ailafushi and had a very pleasant stay. The turquoise water was stunning, and the resort’s location is ideal, only a 10–15 minute speedboat ride from the airport. There are many activities available, including snorkeling with turtles and dolphin-watching tours, which we particularly enjoyed. Additionally, we had a massage at the spa, which was very relaxing and a great way to unwind. It’s important to note that excursions, the underwater restaurant, and spa treatments are not included in the all-inclusive package. Prices are quite high, and additional service charges and taxes apply. However, for us, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we were happy to spend the money. The buffet at the main restaurant was varied, though some dishes were repeated. The service was always friendly, and our water villa was well-equipped. The bar was quite loud in the evenings, so we preferred to avoid it. Next time, we would choose a villa with a sunset view, as the morning sun was quite strong. Overall, a great stay with good value for money. We would recommend the resort and would love to return.

Paradise on the earth We were in Oblu in February 2025 - water villa (all inclusive) (602 -> terrace placed from bad side - sunsets and sunrise invisible... Better villas are 501-> right side, placed from sunrise side!) . Villa very comfortable - equipped with everything what you need - minibar (daily refilled), tea/coffee, terrace with ladder to the ocean, big smart TV, big and comfortable bed, bathroom "outside" (inside house but outside means that you see sky and ocean (see pictures) with very good cosmetics. Island is beautiful - big, nice and well planned. Electric buses available for anyone - from water villas you can go directly to restaurant or gym. Nice and big beach with lot of sunbeds, umbrellas (same on swimming pool). On swimming pool is loud music, beach is quitter. Beautiful sceneries, water and everything - classic Maldives but without reef (you can see baby shark and other fish but nearby restaurant - in water villas animals and fish are rare (unfortunately) Afternoon and evening nearby the bar is very loud - live music, karaoke etc till midnight. If you like calm evening, ask about villa away from bar. All inclusive package is nice but without "wow" effect - if you like sweet drinks, cocktails, good beers you will be satisfied (if you like good cognac/whisky - you need to pay for them additionally). Food in restaurant - delicious - international/Indian/Asian kitchens, lots of sweets, ice creams etc. - you will be heavier than before arrival:) Gym well equipped (trainer available) - sport shoes required. Flying the drones are possible but you need to respect privacy of other peoples! Most activities (jet sky, water restaurant etc) are additional pay and expensive. To make check-in you have to install Oblu application on you phone. In this app you can check prices and reserve activities Stuff are kind, helpful and professional. Free transfer from/to Male (speedboat). After check out you can stay in Oblu till your flight, but without using bar (lunch, dinner you can use) Biggest problem is internet - WiFi available is all hotel areas (villas/rooms too) but speed of this internet is bad (in this price of night it is unacceptable)! Streaming (Netflix) is possible but with some breaks - this is irritating Summary - if you want to spend nice time (e.g. aqua gym, volleyball, or normal sunbathing), see beautiful views (but not so many animals) and rest - this is the place for you and we recommend it!
