There is nothing to complain about, the butler service for us was really great, we could with the butler go snorkeling, his birthplace, visit, boat tour and otherwise everywhere tips to the island received. Room cleaning was great the cleaning staff came at least 2 times per day. With mathematics have some employees on the island not so and we had to twice the invoices fix since we otherwise too much would have paid. We really felt very well cared for, if we wanted.2 restaurants, 1 bar Quality and quantity top, we have puzzled as fresh salad in this quality on this island comes. There … read more

Couldn't be better! Because of the size of the villas with private estate and private beach and butlersystems especially good suitable for families with lots of children. For divers a dream: one is always the only boat on the diving spot and mantas without limits! … read more

Since 11 years we are traveling to the maledives. We have seen most of the top hotels.Some are more exclusiv. In terms of size of the iland an conditions of beach and reef nothing could come close. You feel like robinson cruso,but pampert on a high level.By the way the breakfast is outstandig.If you like nightlife ,don,t come. By the way : Don,t come anyway! We love to keep it our secret. … read more

The service was for us the biggest gripe. Generally we found the butler as superfluous. May we have the concept not understood. Used the butler mainly for the food serve. Unfortunately his talent have very limited. Constantly things forget, coffee we were given after the breakfast. Partly extremely inefficient. Every evening, we had to him partly several times for an ashtray ask. Thought it would be so, that the butler did everything. Even the bar, it be refilled. The buggy, it reserved. Everything which we from the bar used, we had with him order. Automatically he has therefore not taken … read more

Information about Hotel Island Hideaway Spa Resort & Marina

Hotel own description

  • What the hotel offers
    The Island Hideaway at Dhonakulhi Maldives, Spa Resort & Marina is a new luxury boutique resort situated on the privately-owned uninhabited virgin island of Dhonakulhi, North Maldives, Indian Ocean. The resort was opened on 1st August 2005 with 6 types of spectacular guest villas. Our marina is the first of its kind in the Maldives. The Island is a haven of peace, tranquillity and serenity. The Island Hideaway is one of the very few resorts (currently 3) in the Haa Alifu Atoll The whole resort is well set up for families. Most of the rooms are more than large enough, there is a play centre attended by young female staff who also babysit (and the butler, of course, is happy to help), there are kids' meals, a kids' pool, and a large shallow lagoon ideal for swimming and water sports. And as all unpowered water sports are free of charge, this is perfect for families for messing around together

    The Island Hideaway at Dhonakulhi Maldives, Spa Resort & Marina is a new luxury boutique resort situated on the privately-owned uninhabited virgin island of Dhonakulhi, North Maldives, Indian Ocean
  • Accommodation
    There are 6 categories of rooms all built in that luxurious rustic style that is so right for Maldives. Every roof is thatched, every wall and column deliberately uneven; the floors are wooden, the textiles are cotton in plain earthy colours. The differences between the rooms are essentially size - of the rooms, the surrounding enclosure and the pool. The 176 sqm Funa Pavilions (7) and the 385 sqm Raamba Retreats (7) don't have pools and have less of a beach in front. The 550 sqm Donakulhi Residences (20) are in the majority and are perhaps the ideal compromise between price, size and position. The Jasmine Garden Villas (5) are an enormous 705 sqm with a 10-metre infinity pool and floating dining pavilion connected. With the butler bringing all your meals if you wish, there is no need to leave its confines. The ultimate rooms are the two Hideaway Palaces at 1,420 sqm that sit by the beach bulge and enjoy several infinity pools and eight separate thatched pavilions.
