Meliá Whale Lagoon Maldives

“Lisa and Staff, Thank you for one of the most unforgettable vacation. The setting was perfect, the location was nothing you could ever imagine, and the resort and staff made it that much more memorable! We were here for our anniversary and let’s say we were not the only ones celebrating it, as it felt like the staff all knew, and felt like they celebrated it with us. As we got off the plane in Male’ they had a person waiting for us to get us on the seaplane as quick as possible. The seaplane into the resort was a highlight in itself. As soon as we arrived to Whale Lagoon, the staff welcomed us like we were one of them. Akabota got us checked in at their beautiful welcome venue right off the beach. She was very informative and wanted to make our stay special. Our villa was something we could only imagine with lavish surrounding and a view that seemed like a paradise never seen before. The staff put everything over the top and we got to know them like they were our paradise family with remembering our drink habits each day, seeing we were always taken care of by the pool, beach, or villa. Mithum and Aiham were our top guys at the Breeze Bar! They went above and beyond with our trip. For food it was incredible from our breakfast/lunch with Munefa/Hussain/Nadeen. Sursesh and Aiham gave us an unforgettable anniversary dinner on the beach in front of our villa with a remarkable seafood spread. Our villa was one of the suites with private pool and steps away from the crystal clear waters. The gentlemen that handled our villa was always surprising us with clean villa and welcome treats as we walked in from enjoy the day and evening! He always took care of us but was quiet to never interrupt our stay. We will be back and enjoying this paradise again as we fell in love with it and the people. It will be even better to see what Melia’ has in store with it for their upcoming remodel as it seems too perfect already, can’t wait!!”

“Our honeymoon stay at Meliá was truly a dip into paradise. The location is gorgeous, stunning, breathtaking. The staff kind, welcoming, attentive to all the details. From seeing all types of fishes, rays and sharks to the beautiful pools, corals and reefs, it is amazing for ocean lovers. The buffets were extensive with daily changes to make you feel like you constantly had options from many different cuisines. Special shout out to the spa, which was so spectacular we went back twice.”

“Amazing location. Amazing staff. And great for Gluten Free. My wife and I honeymooned here and stayed on one of the stilted villas over the ocean. We live in Australia and travel a lot, and were unsure if resort life would suit us. But we loved every minute and don't want to leave (waiting for sea plane). If you like snorkelling, look no further! The reef here is healthy with fish, turtles and even black tip reef shark (very small juveniles, don't worry!). We started every morning like this. And there are plenty of day trips with the local dive team, who are simply great. We weren't lucky enough to see a Whale Shark, but still had the best day searching and snorkelling secluded reefs. The Island's Bar, wait and all other staff were so kind and thoughtful. And went above and beyond with us. I must have eaten almost everything on the menu, which is all delicious! My wife, who is coeliac, gave the kitchen notice when we booked. The chefs and waiters looked after her and she had plenty on the menu. It's just sometimes the guests you have to watch our for contaminating spoons etc., but that is hard to control. She liked to arrive early to lessen the risk of cross contamination. All in all, the most amazing trip. We hope to return 🙏”
