South Male Atoll, Kaafu Atoll hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great!"

"We stayed for 1 night in an overwater villa - the room was amazing, spacious and luxurious - we loved the bathroom and amenities. The outside decking and access to the water was amazing, and the view to die for!"

"Ozen Mahdoo in the Maldives is the best resort we've ever visited. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with exceptional service, breathtaking views, and a sense of tranquility. The resort beautifully blends luxury with nature. Our overwater villa was impeccably clean and spacious, featuring a private plunge pool and direct lagoon access. The fully stocked bar offered an impressive selection of high-quality wines, champagnes, and liquors, setting it apart as the best all-inclusive resort we've experienced. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the incredible staff. Special thanks to Shuhad, our butler, who ensured every detail was perfect; Samrat, our bartender, who crafted delicious cocktails; and Naushad, our housekeeper, who kept our villa immaculate. Every staff member was friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The dining experience was outstanding, with meals that could rival any NYC restaurant. The underwater restaurant was a highlight, offering magical views of sea life. Activities included thrilling snorkeling, a romantic sunset cruise, and a fun sunset fishing cruise. The world-class spa was the perfect way to unwind. Interestingly, we usually avoid returning to places, but Ozen Mahdoo is the first place we’re considering revisiting to see the friends we made. We’ll likely spend a few nights here and then explore elsewhere. Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking the ultimate tropical escape! "
