A Truly Wonderful Stay at Safari Island We had an amazing time at Safari Island and can’t recommend it enough. The food was consistently excellent – every meal was fresh, varied, and delicious. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we always looked forward to what was being served. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Their warm hospitality really added to the relaxed atmosphere on the island. We also took part in a few of the excursions, and they were absolutely worth it – well-organized, unforgettable experiences that gave us a deeper appreciation of the stunning surroundings. If we get the chance, we’ll definitely be coming…

Getting there
Safari Island Resort lies about 73 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport, the country's main gateway near Malé. The nearest domestic airport is Maamigili, roughly 55 km away, which matters if your transfer combines a domestic flight with a boat ride.
Resorts this far from Malé are usually reached by seaplane, or by a domestic flight followed by a boat ride; the resort confirms which applies and the timing, and seaplanes fly in daylight only.
The nearest other stays in this guide are Kandolhu Maldives (6.0 km), Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon (6.6 km) and Constance Halaveli (9.0 km). On resort islands, neighbours are usually separate islands reached only by boat, so distance says little about walking access.

If you want a relaxing, quiet location, this is the perfect place for you! It's a small island resort compared to others and no evening entertainment but this is just what we wanted. The weather was extremely hot(April/May) but pleasant breezes to keep you cool most of the time. We staying over water bungalow which we amazing, very spacious with floor to ceiling windows all around. All the staff are so helpful they can't do enough for you. The house reef is excellent for snorkelling, lots of sharks(harmless black tip reef sharks, nurse sharks) turtles,colourfull fish etc and easy access to the reef. Overall we had an amazing holiday and would definitely recommend it, we would certainly…
Beautiful island! Only negative point is the dumb tourists who are feeding the fish and stepping on the corals (same like on Angaga). I wish that Safari does more to prevent this behaviour. Otherwise I loved our stay!
