Madifushi Private Island

Absolument tout

Tout était exceptionnel

Difficile de ne retenir qu’une chose : l’accueil, les restaurants, les activités et la conciergerie ont tous été à la hauteur. Le resort est magnifique, avec un cadre exceptionnel ! On profite pleinement de la beauté des lieux à chaque moment du séjour. Les activités nautiques étaient super bien organisées, notamment le snorkeling, le sandbank et la sortie dauphins : de très beaux moments. Toutes les équipes, que ce soit à la réception, aux restaurants ou pour les activités, sont vraiment attentionnées et agréables. Un grand merci à Shiyad pour la conciergerie : toujours disponible, bienveillant et très professionnel. Grâce à lui, notre séjour a été fluide et rempli de très beaux moments.

Qu’un vol retour nous attendait déjà à la fin du séjour.

Le lieu assez isolé , gentillesse du personnel, la chambre spacieuse.

L’architecture des bâtiments, béton et acier, qui ressemblent plus à un aéroport qu à un hôtel de luxe. Le prix de la nourriture, exorbitant, comptez 150/pers par jour en plus du petit déjeuner, sans alcool. L’ensemble est semble t il sorti de terre récemment et des parties sont encore en construction , donnant à l’ensemble un aspect dépourvu de charme. Les plongées sont correctes mais loin d’être exceptionnelles , malgré la gentillesse du staff.

Abbiamo soggiornato presso il Madifushi Private Island e l’esperienza è stata semplicemente fantastica sotto ogni aspetto. Ci è piaciuto tutto: dal cibo alla sistemazione delle camere. Il buffet al Bluefin è ottimo, con una grande varietà di piatti per colazione, pranzo e cena. Anche lo Splash Bar, con formula all inclusive, propone un menù variegato e tutto davvero molto buono. Consigliatissima anche l’esperienza al Mojito Bar, dove abbiamo sorseggiato un cocktail al tramonto—un momento davvero speciale. La spiaggia è sempre perfettamente curata, con asciugamani puliti e sempre disponibili. Lo staff è eccezionale: già dal nostro arrivo a Malé siamo state accompagnate in una lounge accogliente dove rilassarci prima di prendere l’idrovolante. All’arrivo sull’isola siamo state accolte calorosamente dal team. In particolare, Anas è stato una presenza fondamentale durante tutto il soggiorno: sempre disponibile, attento e professionale. Ci aggiornava ogni giorno sulle attività e si occupava di tutte le prenotazioni, rendendo tutto ancora più semplice e piacevole. Abbiamo alloggiato in una sunset overwater villa con una vista mozzafiato. Anas era sempre disponibile ad accompagnarci con il cart, ma abbiamo anche utilizzato le biciclette, molto comode per girare l’isola in autonomia. Un ringraziamento speciale anche a Shakhawat per la cura impeccabile della nostra camera: doppia pulizia mattina e sera, sempre disponibile per ogni nostra necessità e capace di rendere ogni rientro ancora più confortevole. Spesso ci faceva trovare la vasca con bagno caldo già pronta e decorata con petali, un dettaglio davvero unico e super apprezzato. Il soggiorno è stato all’insegna del relax totale. Abbiamo anche provato la Mandara Spa per dei massaggi: esperienza bellissima, con prodotti balinesi di alta qualità e personale gentile e accogliente. Ho fatto questo viaggio con mia madre ed è stato davvero speciale.

Went for valentine´s weekend with my boyfriend. The island is superb, clean, airy, zen, calm. It´s a shame that the island is not very active on social media, where more daily photos could be posted. We loved the jetski trip to see the dolphins, it was amazing, we did other water sports. The massage was the best we ever had, my boyfriend still keeps talking about it, a big thank you to the spa team. Our stay was lovely, beautiful, modern place to be. The room was very clean, i think they clean 2 or 3 times a day, cosy pool, clean bathroom and toilet, very modern and stylish. We would like to thank Yaish for making our experience relaxed, he was extremely helpful, friendly and always available to help with any issues. He put my partner at ease regarding sharks in the island hahahha

We were a bit disappointed of how they organised the events in the resort. Most of the time we weren´t informed of live bands and music, or other events going on. The restarants are very limited on food choices, we paid for all inclusive but it was mainly buffet and some times the food was all the same and we had to pay for some drinks. We opted to eat at Farenheight where we paid for the food. Not much activities going around. The shops open and close at some odd times. Bikes are for hire, not included in the price. But overall we still had a great time

Honeymoons come once in a lifetime, and choosing Madifushi Private Island was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From the moment we arrived, everything felt exceptional: the warmth of the people, the beauty of the island, the greenery, the ocean, the marine life, the snorkeling, even the calm itself (although fully occupied, it did not feel crowded at all). The food deserves its own paragraph. Bluefin was a true game-changer, and the buffet: every single meal was genuinely delicious. It’s rare to say that and mean it this strongly. Recall the food is important in isolated islands. Our shadow Anas was a symbol of hospitality: attentive, patient, and always doing his best to help. A heartfelt thank you to Chef Suranga, Shakhawat, Abdullah, Ziam, Sanjeev, Ma’n, Sindhiya, Jhema, Ayri, Chef Lal, Chef Adham, Luh Sugiani, Manisha, and Novita for making our stay feel personal, warm, and unforgettable. If you’re coming here: make sure you try the experiences at Funaqua even if you are a beginner in swimming (ask Abdullah about them), and don’t miss a visit to the sandbanks, they pure magic (photos attached). Abdullah and Ziam took our visit to a whole new level. We’ll definitely be back.

In the final day, we were "offered" to move to a new villa (901) at 10 AM for a late checkout. The claim was that we can stay in our new villa until 2 PM. They probably wanted to prepare our villa for the next travelers for an early check in. However, it was a trap. The new villa had an empty fridge, faulty electronics, and NO PRIVACY due to its location. It was obvious no one would accept a stay at this villa. The irony was that we were about to get charged for soft drinks that were already free in our villa. We should have rejected the dishonest offer and stayed in our villa. I would have given the property a nine for this reason as honesty should always be a priority, but Abdullah, Chef Suranga, and Shakhawat made our stay truly "exceptional".

The place is surreal and magnificent, we were able to enjoy a wonderful and spectacular vacation. Our butler Ms. July, and the cleaning boy Mr. Shakawat were phenomenal and they really added a touch of personalization to our stay.

For extra mile, more options from Maldives' cuisine and Mediterranean cuisine options (already there are few). Music volume in the common pool side can be reduced, and Islamic touch in rooms based on visitor preference (Holy Quran, prayer mat, Qibla)
