This resort was more than we could have hoped for! We stayed in a sunset view pool room that was stunning. The food was excellent at all the restaurants. The staff was amazing! Every single staff member we encountered was so kind and helpful that it enhanced an already fabulous vacation. I would definitely recommend doing one of the all-inclusive packages. The food cost if you’re paying per meal was extremely high. But with the classic or premium all inclusive package this is not an issue!

Getting there
Radisson Blu Resort Maldives lies about 115 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport, the country's main gateway near Malé. The nearest domestic airport is Maamigili, roughly 15 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 Meliá Whale Lagoon Maldives (7.3 km), Conrad Maldives Rangali Island (8.1 km) and Whale Shark Boutique (9.2 km). On resort islands, neighbours are usually separate islands reached only by boat, so distance says little about walking access.

Radisson Blu Resort Maldives averages 4.6 out of 5 across 1,100 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Overall , it was extremely beautiful. The villa was amazing, great facilities and the views were amazing, we didn’t wanna leave the room at all. The food was spectacular too, Mr. Vineet and his team were very kind and helpful and served us with all hearts and the food was a 10/10 too. Def would recommend this place to everyone wanting to visit Maldives .
I stayed at the hotel for 3 days and had a mixed experience. The kitchen and F&B staff were very friendly and attentive, and a special thanks to the Executive Chef, who was extremely understanding and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. However, I was a bit disappointed with the front office team, as the romantic dinner setup I had requested was not arranged as expected. Also, the housekeeping staff seemed disinterested and didn’t greet guests with a smile, which affected the overall warmth of the service. Despite these issues, the hospitality from the F&B and kitchen staff truly stood out, and I hope the other departments can improve their guest service in the future.
