The hotel

This is no ordinary Maldivian island. Sure it has the turquoise lagoon, powdery sands, and overwater and beachfront villas (all with sunrise or sunset views and some with butler service or lap pools) but, OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, Maldives brings something new to the beach: their Indulgence All Inclusive plan. Everything you need is covered. There are champagne breakfasts, scrumptious lunches, and dinners at its international, IndoCeylon, Peking, R.A.W, M6m and Joie de Vivre restaurants. There are bottomless drinks with Champagne, whiskies, international beers, premium spirits, and more than 80 wines. There’s your complimentary mini-bar, topped up daily - even the champagne. There are unlimited snorkelling excursions and non-motorised water sports. And, the longer you stay, the more complimentary diving or spa treats you get.

I would specifically like to mention the names of our butler Mr Ayush, the team at the restaurants Mr Dinesh, Mr Sujeet, Chef Alok, Ms Aakansha, Ms Durga, Chef Abhishek and many more over there who made our trip memorable. It was like a dream come true trip as whatever we wished or ordered we got everything. Special mention to Ms Elizabeth who takes care of every guest personally and also bids special goodbyes to them. Thank you team Ozen for this wonderful experience.....it was due to your welcoming hospitality that we felt at home away from home and also we extended our trip for 2 more nights. We will love to come back again here and also will surely recommend the property to visit once for sure to everyone. Read less

This was our fourth visit to the Maldives, and without a doubt, Ozen Life Maadhoo stands out as the best resort we’ve ever stayed at. Everything — from the villa to the food to the service - was absolutely flawless. A solid 10 out of 10. A heartfelt thank you to Ayush, our amazing butler, who ensured every detail of our stay was perfectly organised. The young bartender at the Peking restaurant deserves a special mention — his cocktails were easily among the best we’ve ever had. Siri, our waiter, was simply outstanding — attentive, warm, and a true professional. Also, a shoutout to the buggy driver (wish I remembered his name!) — he mentioned he’s a footballer when he’s not working, and he drove us around with great energy and a big smile. In the M6 restaurant, there was a lovely young lady from India whose name started with M - incredibly kind and welcoming. Huge thanks to the kitchen staff across the resort. The food was exceptional at every single meal. The entire resort, including our villa, was spotless and meticulously maintained. We rarely return to the same place twice, but Ozen Life Maadhoo is an exception. We’ll definitely be coming back. Read less
