Villa Park Sun Island

Maldives, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

One of the largest resorts in the Maldives and Green Key certified, Villa Park Sun Island, really does have something for everyone. If your ultimate dream is to experience the stunning surroundings and get close to the colours of the natural world beneath the ocean, you can scuba dive, snorkel, or sail a catamaran in the pure blue water. Or if you prefer to catch up on some of that much needed rest and recuperation, perhaps some gentle fishing could be for you. On the other hand, if you feel your days are better spent horizontally you can take advantage of an aromatherapy treatment and massage, or simply sunbathe in a secluded cove with absolutely no sign of anyone, anywhere. This is just some of the advantages of this picturesque island in South Ari Atoll. For the evenings, the wealth of restaurants boast an excellent choice of cuisine from around the world, including Al Pontile (the overwater Italian restaurant) and treetop dining experience ZERO.

The most amazing thing of our journey were the people we met. Anju will forever stay in our heart, and both of us, my wife and me, hope to see her one day in Germany. We liked her smile, to talk to her qnd her excellent service. Mary was the first of the ressort that met us with her warm smile. She was always concerned to get jummy glutenfree food for my wife Susi (who suffers from Cialac). It is a very good idea - especially at such a big Resort - to get someone as a personal... contact person, coach or however to call it. Sana did a great job and helped us with everything! And every day we got the program from her. Trinity, the kitchen-master, is very friendly and does everything to get your stomach filled with the freshest food you can imagine (we recommend lamb and gluten-free Lasangne). The people, that clean your room, are very friendly, too. Best wishes to Hassan! I hope, he and his 4 Children will be fine! I attended the sports and Yoga workouts, too. Granis Yoga is good, you can attend it as an beginner (or with a little more experience like me), she is also friendly and the Place to exercice (under big Palm trees close to the Swimming pool) is well chosen. Unfortunatly I didn´t ask for the name of the young man, who does Pilates, circle Workout and is referee for Volleyball. It was so nice, how he carried a wooden chair across the beach, so my wife could watch the game. I could write about snorcheling (great) and other stuff, but.. the people are the best reason to recommend this lovely island. Read less
