My Stay At Sun Island Resort, Maldives

It can be tough to decide which accommodation option when visiting Maldives. Depending on your budget you can choose from hundreds of options whether it be rental houses (low cost, more home-like) or in a Resort (higher cost, in a guarded village).

For my trip, I stayed for 10 days on the island of Nalaguraidhoo at the Sun Island Resort and Spa.

If you’re ready to plan your dream holiday to the Maldives but would rather not spend a large chunk of your life savings then this 5-star resort is the right choice for you. I had never realized there were budget friendly Maldives packages available until I stayed here and With 462 rooms, 6 restaurants, a world-class dive shop and an award-winning spa, you’re in no danger of feeling like Tom Hanks in Castaway on this island getaway. Sun Island is one of the Maldives all-inclusive resorts, located in the South Ari Atoll and has those day-dream worthy Over Water Bungalows that are on everyone's bucket list.

The beach is practicable on the entire perimeter of the island. Inside there is a natural park with thousands of exotic trees, plants, and animals and in the resort, there is a large spa where it is possible to have massages relaxingelax treatments.

The food is excellent, varied and abundant with international cuisine. There are 6 restaurants, buffets and a la carte. The rooms stretch across the entire island except for the water bungalows that are built on the water.

One of things that people often don’t realize when they book a Maldives Holiday is that once you land in Male International Airport, you need a further internal domestic flight to get out to the island. To get to Sun Island Resort & Spa on Nalaguraidhoo Island there is only one option – Domestic Flight followed by a 5-10 minute speedboat ride and must be arranged through the hotel.

I loved staying here! I hope to return to the Maldives soon and live this blue dream all over again!
