Adaaran Club Rannalhi - All Inclusive, hotel in South Male Atoll

Enjoy relaxing beach holidays in over-water and beach bungalows at Adaaran Club Rannalhi - All Inclusive.

the Island is small you can circle it in 15 min, water was beautiful and also the fishes under whater, i newer saw so many,this is positive. Rooms need renewal , light switches for example are in strange positions, also the toilet and the paperholder was uncomfortable, you don't have bedside tables:), they clean the rooms 2 times a day though(less the 2 last days when they always came late so we were in the room and let it go) meals are ok lots of local cuisine but good.

    Both family and couple orientated the place is just fantastic, despite some hiccups the overall is very good . Is very peaceful and the island(s) quite big so not easy to get bored. Sea life is vibrating and staff excellent. Many activities to do . Try stay in bungalows with pool. This will raise the quality a noch, that will definitively make your stay more pleasant.

    So, let me tell you about our recent getaway to South Male...

    So, let me tell you about our recent getaway to South Male Atoll - it was like stepping into a postcard. From the second we landed, it was all about those island vibes and clear blue waters. Our digs were top-notch, I'm talking overwater villas and cozy beachfront bungalows with views that made us never want to leave. And don't even get me started on the snorkeling and diving - we swam with manta rays and checked out some seriously cool coral reefs. But it wasn't just about the underwater action. On land, we had spa days, tried all the water sports, and chowed some seriously fresh seafood. And let's not forget about the locals—they were so welcoming and friendly that it felt like we'd known them for years. Long story short, South Male Atoll is the ultimate chill spot. Whether you're into relaxation or adventure, there's something here for everyone. We left feeling totally refreshed and already planning our next trip back.

    Very well organised - you are taken care of as soon as you arrive until the security at the airport. You don’t lift a finger, luggage is collected/delivered. Transfer by boat was very efficient - excellent service

    The place is amazing, the watter and everything you seen in the photos and videos is exactly the same or even more beautiful. Thake care about the UV solar power, on our stay was maximum on the scale and a 50 spf is highly recommended as with 30 spf you will get burned and believe me is happening so fast 🤦🏻‍♂️ The temperature is quite constant and even during the night is very hot. Seaplane transfer can be quite expensive. Definitely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime!

    The water bungalow experience was fabulous; stepping down the bungalow steps straight into the sea and the reef area for snorkelling was amazing. There was so much underwater life to see. Although the bungalows were a little tired and the bed was not the comfiest, we loved the experience. As they are semi detached, pray you don’t get a noisy couple next door! The sunsets were stunning.

    The Vellasaru experience starts from the point you come out of the airport to the point you hand your bags at the airline counter. It was amazing throughout. The staff at the resort were extremely friendly. Breakfast was great. Room was spacious and clean. The island was really well maintained. And honestly we could not ask for more. Views were amazing, marine life was decent and plenty of activities to keep you busy for 5 days. My little one did not want to leave the island and wanted to buy a house in the Maldives 😀

    Water villa was very nice, someone available to clean morning and evening which is helpful when you have kids, saii app was very good and reception responsive and buggy arrived within 10 minutes of requesting. Food was decent and could use facilities at hard rock hotel too although sai lagoon facilities were nicer. In addition, kids club had a variety of activities and had to book in advance. Hannan at reception was very helpful and transfer to the resort was quick and someone at airport to collect and transfer

    Our villa over the sea was amazing. A few steps down into crystal clear torquoise sea water. Snorkelling, even around the villas withy water depth of around 1m was exceptional. It is exactly as imagined and seen in videos of Maldives over the years. Paradise. Staff were fabulous and the entire resort fabulous. Restaurants and food could not be better either. Our "host" Ibrahim, was so helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and on call, 24/7 if needed. We will be back and we will ask for Ibrahim again.

    The staff was very friendly and welcoming they made an amazing set up dinner so romantic they create an unforgettable experience that night and the housekeeping almost 24 hours they did a really good job and one more thing the spa was amazing. Overall, the place I believe is different from other places because of the Hard Rock Hotel and the marina the give you more options for dinners or parties.

    We usually prefer to stay at Taj hotels, due to their hospitality and the quality of the food. Our stay at Taj Exotica was quite enjoyable. Various other activities like scuba diving, parasailing etc can be enjoyed by the guests. We went on a wonderful sunset cruise where we got to witness the oceanic beauty of Maldives.

    Effort of management to make everything possible to fix the situation when we complied about quality of room/food/facilities which led to refund of part of our stay, after two days in this hotel we were able to switch it to better one for same price, you can really book top tier hotel for the price they charge

    The Island and Reef are just amazing to do snorkel. The ambiance is calm and slowlife. The hotel is not luxurious but everything you need, maintaining the essence of the island and nature, which is amazing. The food buffet has a lot of variety and every day the theme changes, amazing grill and pasta.
