Biyadhoo Island Resort

As this resort is closing in November to be redeveloped this review will soon be out of date. Such a shame as Biyadhoo is a lovely island. One of the few remaining resorts in the style we like and still affordable. The rooms are old and a bit shabby but all the staff do a brilliant job maintaining them and all the other areas. The island itself is very lush so do bring insect repellent as mosquitoes are widespread. We booked all inclusive; breakfast, lunch and dinner all served buffet style in the main, air conditioned restaurant. There was always a good choice including vegetarian options. Most drinks are part of the deal including two small bottles of water each day in your room but you do pay extra for branded spirits, some cocktails etc. The resort does offer beach barbecues, romantic dinners and such at extra cost but these are not pushed at every opportunity. Our main reason for going was scuba diving. Thank you to Rosa and Mau at Coco Diving for some really memorable dives and thank you to the mantas for turning up, what a show! The resort is close to some great dive sites so you can get there early before the other boats show up. 11 dives, including a night dive cost just over £1300.00 for the both of us, inclusive of boat fees and taxes. If you are booked to go to Biyadhoo before it closes we're sure you will enjoy the simplicity and peace it offers. Not everyone wants a plasma tv, infinity pools, underwater spas or personal butlers. Sadly it seems more and more resorts are heading this way, taking away the leave your worries behind ethos and moving the Maldives out of our, and many other people's, price range. So for some good diving, a great beach and a simple island getaway book Biyadhoo while you still can. Can't beat a G&T while watching the sunset through the trees at the bar.

From airport 35 minute by speedboat to resort! amazing welcome drink with reception staff beautiful smile. shortly checking. room are old but cleaned. food and activities is good. I am step on sea urchin it is very painful, one man from front desk (I forgot his name) help me and gave treatment also provide medicine his very helpful, if step on sea urchin use warm water it is help for relief from pain. all the staff are very friendly,Front desk, Bar, sport, restaurant & room cleaner staff excellent.

You know the hotel and it’s professionalism at the end of your stay unfortunately! In this review I will not discuss the hotel the location the food etc.. It’s the incredible rudeness,impoliteness and cheap manners that the so called “supervisor” at the reception used towards me because I am a woman by my self. I have booked my stay in all inclusive formula and paid for two people as they don’t have the option for one person. I went to the reception to ask for a late checkout if it’s available since my departure it’s 4pm and I was only one person. He came with the invoice and said that you booked for only one person. I replied politely yes because I am the only guest and the availability it’s only for two people since there is no one with me if you can give me late check out. He replied in an aggressive manner!: the rules apply to everyone you need to leave by 12 you book for one or two people doesn’t matter No apologies no nothing no manners totally the opposite! It’s is the low season now he could have done it but it’s obvious he is doing it on purpose and let you guess the reasons!

Amazing stay! Management, restaurant and water sports people were super helpful and nice. Highly recommend it for a family vacation

Sent you a email got no reply, my agent did the same no reply, your website says closed for reservations, are you open or not, as we would like too visit next April into May for 2 weeks. Also do you have stand alone beach rooms? Need a lot more information about this island

+ The island has fabulous vegetation, and the reef is impressive. A very large variety of fish species for snorkeling lovers. We were amazed by the kindness of the staff. In addition, they behave very well with children. The food was varied and delicious. We would come back anytime with pleasure. - The rooms need renovation, and the wifi is not very good.

We have just returned from our family holiday in Biyadhoo, it was our first time in the Maldives. I know one thing for certain, we will again choose biyadhoo for our next holiday. To us it was perfect - hotel rooms are simple yet functional, food is very tasty, staff are incredibly attentive, resort is very clean and the beach is amazing. Thank you for a holiday of a lifetime - it was absolutely worth it.

Ciao a tutti, esperienza unica in questo resort. Top restaurant, staff, activities, beaches, reef and much more. I hope to come back when the renovations works will be finished to have other amazing experience. Special thanks to Thoriq and Rashid, 2 lovely persons. Grazie Alessandro e Carolina
