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.

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.

Information about the area

Baa Atoll, Maldives

When you stay at Royal Island Resort & Spa in Horubadhoo Island, you'll be by the sea and within the vicinity of Nelivaru Finolhu and Mendhoo. This beach resort is within the vicinity of Hibalhidoo and Dharavandhoo Mosque.

The Baa Atoll consists of approximately 75 islands, of which only a few are islands. The region is known for its craftsmanship and its diverse flora and fauna. The more than 1000 shallow coral islands of the Maldives are full of sun, sand and sea, surrounded by colorful reefs, turquoise lagoons and fantastically white beaches. The crystalline water melts on the horizon with the blue of the sky. A stay in this paradise is medicine for stress-hit city people, but also ideal for honeymoon and of course for snorkelling and diving, because the exotic underwater world is hardly to be surpassed in color splendor and fishiness. Arrival by plane from Male.
