NNonthadej🌴 Review: Dreamland Maldives (Stayed July 7–11, 2025) 🌴
Just returned from an amazing 4-night stay at Dreamland Maldives, and overall we were really impressed — especially if you love marine life and peaceful surroundings.
🐠 Snorkeling & Excursions – Absolutely worth it!
The house reef around the island is full of life. We saw nurse sharks, sea cucumbers, and even sea turtles while snorkeling close to shore.
Our favorite excursions were:
• A trip to Hanifaru Bay to watch the majestic manta rays.
• A nurse shark tour around the Dreamland reef — exciting and well organized.
🍴 Food – Delicious and better than expected
We chose the Full Board package (3 meals per day), and the buffet meals were consistently good.
Each day offered a variety of beef, pork, chicken, and fish dishes, along with rotating international options.
We were pleasantly surprised to find Thai dishes occasionally included — such as Tom Yum Chicken Soup and Thai Fish Cakes (Tod Mun Pla) — both authentic and flavorful.
💧 Note – Full Board doesn’t include water
Still water is not included in Full Board.
• A 1.5L bottle costs around $3.50 USD, which adds up over several days.
• If you prefer not to worry about extra drink charges, we recommend going for the All-Inclusive package instead.
🌧️ Weather Tip – Be cautious in July
On our departure day, a storm delayed our seaplane, and we missed our international flight.
If traveling in July (monsoon season), plan extra buffer time or stay a night near the airport before your outbound flight.
Dreamland offers a relaxing and nature-filled getaway with great snorkeling and tasty food.
We’ll gladly return — but next time, with All-Inclusive and flexible travel plans during the rainy season!
KKai Tjieh AugustineWe are a family of 4, with 2 kids aged 11 and 10. We stayed in the overwater villa for 5 nights 6 days.
The Westin is located about 35mins by seaplane from Male. Its a small resort with 70 accomodations (28 water villas and 42 beach villas). It has 3 restaurants and the usual facilities of a 5 star resort. What seperates this resort from the rest in my opinion is the service and attention to detail by the staff. Special shout out to Santria (F&B manager) and Laurent (GM) of the resort. Our feedback and comments were indeed taken seriously and acted upon, and we had a good experience thanks to them.
The house reef is decent, and snorkling on a clear day you will see turtles, reef sharks and all the varieties of reef fishes. We took the sunset fishing trip and it is highly recommended, and we had our catch served for dinner the next day - it was so good.
All in all it was a very pleasant experience at the resort, and once again I emphasize that it is the people there that made this smaller resort stand out from the rest.
ゲゲストWe’ve travelled to many places around the world and stayed in countless hotels and resorts — some even more expensive than this — but Vakkaru is truly the BEST experience we’ve ever had.
Baa Atoll is already one of the world’s most pristine ecological reserves, and the resort’s blue holes and sandbanks are simply addictive. We could visit them several times a day and still never get enough. At any moment, you’ll find different kinds of fish swimming freely around you.
Beyond the beauty and the facilities, what truly makes Vakkaru unforgettable is the people.
Our butler Myat, the sommelier, and our roomboy Mohamond all went above and beyond, offering the warmest, most thoughtful care throughout our stay. Their kindness made all the difference.
It’s really hard for us to leave.
We will definitely be back — and without a doubt, we’ll choose Vakkaru again.
ゲゲストЭто была наша первая поездка на Мальдивы, и она превзошла все ожидания. Огромное спасибо Саиде за теплый прием, помощь с организацией романтического ужина и оперативное решение любых вопросов. Благодарим также Саджи и Мурали за внимательное отношение и отличный сервис. Мурали быстро запомнил наши предпочтения и всегда встречал нас с улыбкой.
Питание было вкусным и разнообразным, каждый найдет что-то для себя. На острове много развлечений: теннис, волейбол, бильярд и другие активности. Отдельно хочется отметить отличный массаж и потрясающий риф напротив нашей виллы 207 — уже в первый день увидели акулу, множество рыб и каждый вечер любовались невероятными закатами.
Из минусов — комары, хотя территорию регулярно обрабатывают. В остальном отдых был прекрасным. Спасибо всей команде за незабываемый отпуск!
Несколько советов для будущих гостей. Обязательно возьмите с собой хороший солнцезащитный крем и головной убор — солнце на Мальдивах очень активное. Для снорклинга и длительного пребывания в воде рекомендую закрытый купальник или буркини. Благодаря ему я практически не обгорела, пострадали только уши, поэтому панама или шляпа точно не будут лишними. Также советую захватить средство от комаров — несмотря на регулярную обработку территории, они всё же встречаются.
匿匿名ユーザー真的觉得好赞 it’s very nice, and staff are extremely friendly and thoughtful. The view is amazing, and everything has been arranged perfectly. We enjoyed a lot with baby. Btw the photographer in the resort place is just amazing. Every pic he “randomly” took was been praised by all of our friends. Just perfect
