Olhuveli Beach Resort & Spa Maldives

This beautiful island is reached by speed boat and takes around 45 minutes. Once you arrive you will not be disappointed! With the dazzling white sand and a turquoise lagoon, this all inclusive resort was one of the reasons we chose this one. As everything is imported prices of drinks and food is high so would definitely recommend going all inclusive when visiting the Maldives.

The food in the restaurants was really tasty and varied and also catered for my husband being vegetarian. We never got bored and there was a great choice of foods and the restaurant also had wonderful views. You could also book a private meal down on the beach for 2 at an additional cost.

The island caters for families as well as couples, but when we visited we didn't see any children and it was very quiet even though they were pretty full.

We used a few of the facilities such as the spa and we did try out a little badminton and snorkelled every day which was a breath taking experience as you step straight into a reef. We saw some amazing marine life including sea turtles, nemo fish, puffer fish, water snakes and a shark But the most amazing by far was the manta ray. You could sit at the end of the jetty at around 8pm and just watch them swim up and down as they had lighting, you could also arrange to dive in and swim with them as well.

We stayed in a beach villa which was clean and well equipped and came with free WiFi and also a mini bar and bottled water and tea and coffee making facilities.

We didn't do any trips but you could do a fishing boat trip but we were happy to sit and chill out and swim in the sea as there was enough to see for us.

I would recommend this island and I would love to go back again some time in the future.
