Summer Island Maldives Resort

This was amazing place, even despite coming in October during rainy season. Service was exceptional from the begging- person awaiting us on the airport, speed boat transfer late evening, with nice welcome and service (water/towels/wifi) We arrived late evening, so dinner packages were ready in the room. All Incl package was nice however we missed some food in between breakf-lunch and dinner. Issue is wifi which was not working properly/everywhere. Normally i think its ok as we do not need internet on such vacations, but as we needed to work one day it was hard. Again anyways. Great service. Hospitality of staff in restaurant and bar too. Also reception who gave us a chance of later checkout. It was very convenient as we travelled with 2yrs old toddler. Room was spacious, kept clean every day properly + water bottles delivered daily. Good snorkling trips for free provided daily.

Summer Island is a really well-run, friendly, and accommodating resort. It’s mostly a relaxing/luxury environment but had all the water sports and diving that you would look for plus ping pong, badminton, volley ball and a gym. Everything was well-explained. The island is thoughtfully designed to provide many different beach aspects as you go around; much is made of the sunset side being better but I wouldn’t worry as all rooms have interesting views/aspects and you can move around the beach no problem anyway. Guests seem split between couples celebrating (all ages), couples on breaks, and a few parent/child couples and a few young families. We were full board in the Hiya restaurant and the food, ambience and service was genuinely excellent. We also did a yoga class at sunset and the spa seemed relaxing and good; the location is stunning at sunset. All in all this was a very relaxing and reliable experience, having us asking “if we return to the Maldives, would we risk anywhere else?” as it was exactly the luxury relaxing break we were after.

Our stay at Summer Island Maldives has been perfect. We appreciated the kindness of the workers, the facilities, the activities that were organised, the beauty of this island, the dishes and we highly recommend this place❤️

all was fine except the girls in the reception, a real nightmare, rud and you can't understand what they saying to you because they hardly open their mouth, and they don't speak really English ... maybe they have some connections with the manager :-)

Fantastic holiday on a beautiful Maldives Island: Summer Island offered us the best blend of affordability and Maldives luxury. Our Superior beach room was a downstairs apartment with guests staying in similar above us, but other then the occasional furniture moving on the floors tiles we did not hear them. The food was great with plenty of choice and volume. Great cocktails available at the bar. The rooms had the most comfortable sun loungers we have ever used, and fresh beach towels every day. The speedboat ride to and from the airport was on time and very comfortable, taking 45 mins each way. Oh and flying Emirates you know the excellent standard you will receive. All round this was an excellent holiday and at an amazing price through *******.

We visited Maldives for the first time in November 2023. Even before the actual visit, the staff were so helpful and efficient in clarifying questions we raised and in assisting us with the transfers to and from Summer Island. We booked an over water villa - we asked for a sunset side. They couldn't guarantee it, but we were assured that they noted or request. We were given 510. The room was perfect. It was exactly as described and exceeded expectations. The surroundings are spectacular, but the villa adds to and complements the beautiful setting. We are vegetarians and we were not sure what to expect in terms of vegetarian Chinese of food. We stayed in a half board basis. There was a decent choice of vegetation food - it was tasty and varied. The presentation was of a high quality. The chefs and the food and beverage staff were so attentive and courteous that it made every bit of the stay memorable. We took the boat for snorkeling trips and we snorkelled in the house reefs. Words cannot capture the beauty of the area. Walks on the beach, watching the sunrise on the beach and sunset from the villa will stay in our memories forever. Thank to Summer Island for adding to the memorable experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful island. We stayed in a premium beach villa and it was serviced by the amazing Aboo! Can’t thank him enough. The food at Hiya restaurant was varied, plentiful, fresh and tasty. The waiting staff here were efficient and friendly. Staff at reception did all they could to help with any queries too. The negatives would be the tiny shop with very few options and way over priced. I got mosquito bites and was unable to buy just an ointment. Instead had to see the Dr ($25 consultation fee…..was with him less than 2 minutes) and charged $10 for ointment. My advice, be prepared and bring your own! But overall this did not tarnish my opinion of the place. It’s stunning and the staff are lovely. Well done Summer Island!
