Idyllic tropical island - close-to-nature feeling
We had a lovely tranquil stay, feeling very well looked after by the friendly staff. The island is idyllic and the accommodation is comfortable with excellent Aircon and fan in the bedroom. The food in the buffet was varied, fresh and delicious and the bar served excellent cocktails. The home reef is vibrant and perfect for snorkelling round. The dive centre gave my husband a great refresher course and good diving opportunities afterwards. Royal Island provides an altogether lovely, relaxing close-to-nature experience!

10/10 Exceptional

Royal Island is a paradise! This was our first time to the Maldives and didn't know what to expect. The service was top notch from the time we stepped foot on the island. Staff were available to check in all groups arriving on the boat at the same time, so there was no waiting. We were set up with a contact via WhatsApp (Mark) and he kept us up to date with what was going on at the island each day and was available to address all of our questions. The food at the buffet was good and each dinner had a different theme keeping it interesting. Our server Naseer was friendly and efficient. Finally the setting! The island is beautiful! The clearest water outside of a pool I have ever swam in. We were at the west end of the island and there was easy access to snorkelling in the lagoon. There is some damage to the reef, but we still saw so many fish, rays and a shark. We also enjoyed the Wanderlust and Hanifaru Bay snorkelling excursions. The transfers were well planned (don't panic about not having the details until the day before). And bonus, because we had a late departure they gave us late check-out without an extra charge. Overall a fabulous experience. Highly recommend.

Perfect, pristine, paradise.
Perfect pristine paradise, just as you expect in the Maldives. All villas are on their own stretch of gorgeous white beach. The island is very well maintained and we especially liked the flowers and gardens. Great food and drinks, and lots of water sport activities. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and cheerful.
