Having had the pleasure of reviewing numerous properties in the Maldives, we can confidently attest that the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa stands out as a true gem. While the Maldives is renowned for its breathtaking beauty, luxurious amenities, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, the Sheraton's exceptional staff and personalized service set it apart from its peers.
From the initial communication, it was clear that the Sheraton's team was dedicated to tailoring our experience. They proactively requested our flight information, dietary restrictions, and interests to ensure a seamless arrival and stay. Upon arrival at Malé International Airport, we were greeted by a friendly representative who escorted us to the speedboat, expertly arranged by the resort. The 15-minute journey to the resort was a pleasant precursor to our luxurious getaway. Upon arrival at the resort, we were welcomed with refreshing juices, cold towels, and efficient check-in. Our luggage was whisked away, and we were escorted to our overwater bungalow, where we found thoughtful touches, including a beautifully designed "Happy Anniversary" display and complimentary vegan desserts.
The overwater bungalow was nothing short of spectacular, offering stunning views of the Indian Ocean, a private beach, and the soothing sounds of waves crashing against the shore. The spacious villa featured modern amenities, including a comfortable king-size bed, marble bathroom, and expansive deck perfect for sunbathing or enjoying a romantic dinner. We highly recommend indulging in this unforgettable experience. Waking up to the gentle lapping of the waves and spending evenings watching the sunset over the ocean was truly magical.
Throughout our stay, the staff consistently exceeded our expectations. Executive Chef Max and his team demonstrated unparalleled flexibility and creativity in accommodating our vegan dietary requirements, offering bespoke dishes that rivaled any fine dining experience. From decadent breakfast spreads to romantic dinners, every meal showcased the Sheraton’s culinary expertise. The attention to detail and willingness to cater to our needs was impressive, and we appreciated the chef's personal touch in ensuring our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional.
We began our stay with a romantic photoshoot, expertly captured by a professional photographer who guided us through stunning locations around the resort. The photographer's kindness, skill, and attention to detail made the experience truly enjoyable, and we cherished the beautiful memories captured. The resulting photos were breathtaking, and we treasured the opportunity to relive our special moments.
The resort offered a range of activities to suit every interest. We enjoyed canoeing and snorkeling, exploring the crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life. The staff provided expert guidance and equipment, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. We also took advantage of the resort's tennis court, which was well-maintained and equipped with everything needed for an enjoyable match.
One of the most memorable moments of our stay was the coconut tree climbing and Dhonkamana crafting experience. With expert instruction from the resort's staff, we discovered the art of coconut tree climbing and learned to weave elegant Dhonkamana hats from palm leaves. We felt privileged to take part in this genuine and engaging experience, which offered a unique window into the island's traditional practices.
The Spa, located on a separate island, offered an unforgettable experience. The serene ambiance, breathtaking ocean views, and soothing sounds created the perfect setting for relaxation. The expert therapists provided exceptional service, and the deep tissue massages melted away tension. Afterwards, we unwound in the relaxation room, savoring refreshments and stunning views.
As we prepared to depart, the staff's thoughtfulness and attention to detail shone through. We received a personalized note, a heartfelt farewell message that touched our hearts. The resort also offered a complimentary late checkout at 6 PM, allowing us to relax and enjoy the facilities until our departure. Additionally, we had access to the relaxation suite, where we could shower, rest, or relax before leaving.
As we bid farewell, the staff stood on the dock, waving goodbye until we disappeared into the distance – a poignant display of their genuine care and dedication. This touching gesture embodied the spirit of the Sheraton Maldives, where every guest is treated like family.
The Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa embodies the pinnacle of luxury hospitality, where extraordinary staff, exceptional service, and world-class amenities converge to create an unforgettable getaway. In our esteemed opinion, no other Maldivian property rivals the Sheraton's excellence.
We strongly recommend experiencing this haven for yourself, and suggest a week to two-week stay to fully appreciate its wonders. With its unparalleled charm and gracious hospitality, the Sheraton Maldives guarantees an unforgettable escape that will leave you enchanted and inspired.
