Ozen Reserve Bolifushi

Maldives, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

It’s hard to return to everyday life after a stay at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI: the very definition of luxury. Whatever villa you choose, it's entirely secluded, but still gives direct access to the beach or lagoon, putting you just a swim from one of South Malé Atoll’s healthiest house reefs and five shipwrecks. At your villa, every luxury awaits: an oversized L-shaped pool (you can swim from your bathroom, around your villa, to your terrace), semi-open rain showers, interactive TVs, even adjustable mood lighting. In fact, it will be impossible to holiday anywhere else after you’ve lazed on the daybeds enjoying cocktails at Ozar, dined with your feet in the sand at Sangu, woken early for yoga in the spa garden and sunk into the massage table in an overwater treatment room.

This was our third time at Ozen Reserve Bolifushi and once again it didn’t disappoint. We are not a couple to go back to the same place but I would truly call this hotel my ‘happy place’ Since our last visit they have added an extra restaurant which was excellent.As always the food in every restaurant was extremely good but I have to give a shout out to the Indian which is undoubtably one of the best Indians I have ever eaten in worldwide. The cleanliness of the villas and the Island in general is outstanding. As for the staff what I can say 7 star service all day every day. Thanks to all of them but special shout out to Moussa our butler who is super chilled but excellent and of course Cherry and Pearl who are both outstanding. Thanks to all the staff too many to mention but we appreciate all you do. Another fabulous holiday ❤️ Read less

My family and I have stayed at many exceptional places around the world, but we’ve always left feeling like we wanted to try somewhere new next time. This, however, is the first time we walked away thinking, “We want to come back.” That’s the highest compliment I can give: this resort left us eager to return, and we’ve already rebooked for another stay. From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The meet-and-greet upon arrival and the farewell as we departed were both made incredibly special by the attentive and friendly staff. It’s clear that hospitality here is taken to a whole new level. A special mention goes to our butler, Ahsan, who was absolutely brilliant. His passion for his job and the resort shone through in everything he did. He consistently went above and beyond to make our stay truly exceptional, adding personal touches that made all the difference. For families, the kids’ club is unparalleled. Our children (ages 11, 9, and 4) absolutely loved their time there, thanks to the wide variety of activities on offer. We’ve never experienced anything quite like it. While all the staff were fantastic, Saha, Dimsha, and Aisha deserve special recognition for their warmth and enthusiasm. Another highlight was the Spanish duet, Pel (singer) and Mariano (guitarist), who performed beautiful acoustic versions of songs by artists like Elvis Costello, The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, and Coldplay. They were incredibly talented and created such a wonderful atmosphere. We made a song request, and even though they didn’t know it, they went out of their way to learn the song and perform it the next evening—a truly memorable touch. Trevor, who runs the sports activities, was clearly very knowledgeable and experienced. My 11-year-old son went scuba diving for the first time, and his instructor, Tom, was very patient and professional. This incredible first experience has left my son desperate to go diving again and even take it up as a hobby. If I had to point out areas for improvement, I’d suggest expanding activity options for days when the weather isn’t ideal, as we found those a bit limited. Additionally, while we had a great time on New Year’s Eve, the entertainment and party didn’t quite meet the high expectations set by the rest of the resort. Despite these minor points, our stay was nothing short of incredible. This resort has set a new standard for our family vacations, and we cannot wait to return. If you’re considering a trip to the Maldives, this is the place to be! Read less
