Dreamland Maldives Resort

🌴 Review: Dreamland Maldives (Stayed July 7–11, 2025) 🌴 Just returned from an amazing 4-night stay at Dreamland Maldives, and overall we were really impressed — especially if you love marine life and peaceful surroundings. 🐠 Snorkeling & Excursions – Absolutely worth it! The house reef around the island is full of life. We saw nurse sharks, sea cucumbers, and even sea turtles while snorkeling close to shore. Our favorite excursions were: • A trip to Hanifaru Bay to watch the majestic manta rays. • A nurse shark tour around the Dreamland reef — exciting and well organized. 🍴 Food – Delicious and better than expected We chose the Full Board package (3 meals per day), and the buffet meals were consistently good. Each day offered a variety of beef, pork, chicken, and fish dishes, along with rotating international options. We were pleasantly surprised to find Thai dishes occasionally included — such as Tom Yum Chicken Soup and Thai Fish Cakes (Tod Mun Pla) — both authentic and flavorful. 💧 Note – Full Board doesn’t include water Still water is not included in Full Board. • A 1.5L bottle costs around $3.50 USD, which adds up over several days. • If you prefer not to worry about extra drink charges, we recommend going for the All-Inclusive package instead. 🌧️ Weather Tip – Be cautious in July On our departure day, a storm delayed our seaplane, and we missed our international flight. If traveling in July (monsoon season), plan extra buffer time or stay a night near the airport before your outbound flight. Dreamland offers a relaxing and nature-filled getaway with great snorkeling and tasty food. We’ll gladly return — but next time, with All-Inclusive and flexible travel plans during the rainy season!

From the moment we landed, a long journey from the UK, we felt our reset and relax buttons were pressed. Such a beautiful little island in the Baa Atoll, and I truly believe we were blessed with best beach villa, 150. To open the curtains each morning, what a view. The staff were all amazing, so friendly and always offering little tips or guidance, talking to them was a real pleasure and we thank them for making our holiday even more memorable. My husband snorkelled in the house reef several times and was lucky enough to swim with a turtle for about 20 minutes, another bucket list item ticked off. A shout out must go to our maid, Ahmed, who did a wonderful job. Keep doing what your doing Dreamlands and we hope to visit again.

Just arrived back in the UK and already looking at returning. Absolutely fabulous island kept immaculate by the grounds staff who do a great job. Stayed in a beach bungalow (149) and what a location as many of the other bungalows are. The staff are very polite and attentive and nothing seems too much trouble for them. The room was kept immaculate over the 2 weeks by our room attendant who worked tirelessly moving from one lodge to another making your holiday perfect. Endless amount of food on offer at meal times with a good selection of salads, mains and desserts and fruit. The snorkelling is out of this world with so many different types of fish of all sizes, had endless turtle encounters just outside our bungalow in the lagoon and was lucky enough to have an encounter with a Giant Moray Eel , Snowflake Moray Eel and Camouflage Grouper together with the islands Nurse Sharks which were most impressive. There is a small shop selling bits but do expect to pay inflated prices i.e.. paid 38 dollars for a factor 50 sun lotion and some ear plugs for 22 dollars (required for an ear infection). There are some relatively reasonable souvenirs here and you can get postcards and stamps and post in reception. We had a television in our room but did not put it on once over the two weeks. We were offered an upgrade on arrival to a water bungalow but really wanted a beach bungalow so stuck with that and did not regret it once. Be prepared to get a few mosquito bites but the overall holiday satisfaction you will get here makes it worthwhile. We sprayed our room regularly and took extra precautions with bands , plug ins etc but still managed a few bites. Have brought back some wonderful memories and if you are thinking of going don't read too many reviews just go , you will not be disappointed. If you want lots of nightlife and shops to spend your money this is perhaps not for you but if you want a relaxing break this is just the tonic. Thank You to all the Staff at Dreamland you all do a great job .

Where to begin, This hotel is absolutely amazing, gorgeous and absolutely breathtaking that gives a carefree attitude towards the whole island. Firstly, the food and drinks were absolutely delicious ranging from juice to cocktails, champagne to rum. The food was great and different everyday with unique choices and even the staff made sushi in front of you with your fillings. HELLO?! dream island 🥹. The amount of fruit was crazy and I stuffed myself everyday. Secondly, the staff were the best experience of it all. Not the beach, not the sea, but the STAFF. I cannot express how absolutely amazing they were. They really put an effort in to really get to know you as a person. I really looked to them as a friend who we can trust, making me excited every meal to see them again. They were amazing. Rooms/bungalows were breathtaking (beach bungalow) however I think it really impacts your stay where your room is. I recommend to look at the map and get rooms like 111 and that side for a great stay and I believe it's better than the water bungalows. The view was amazing with clean practical rooms however a bit of extra storage in the bathroom/outdoor shower could be better. The experience to even be there was superb. The reef was meters away from the beach and held extraordinary fish of all species and colors. The sharks were great too and very friendly (do not fear) . Many excursions were available such as shark snorkeling, turtle snoring and even trips to other islands. My family did turtle snorkeling and they came up so close up but you must be able to do it as you do A LOT of swimming with no brakes. Diving was also available along with many other activities that kept you busy. In conclusion this place is absolutely amazing and a must go with ok prices and great different food to eat while watching the crystal clear waters. Great experience!!!!

Thank you very much to Management for making our stay even better to upgrade us to water villa on our anniversary. That was a perfect beautiful holiday ever. Our villa was spotless the Staff/ Team was amazing always helpful and smiling. Hotel grounds clean very well kept beautiful beach and snorkeling never have better then in this spot 👌 steps away from shore small sharks octopus if you lucky hard to spot. Our steps to water was clean few times in a week food was great lots of choice delicious. It's small Island perfect to celebrate for couples or if you just need your peaceful time off. This spot is amazing for diving/ snorkeling Our stay was in February 2022 for 2 weeks long time but not to late to recommend this paradise.

Just returned from 12 days in Dreamland and this place was fantastic! If you are looking for pristine sandy beaches, a gorgeous reef and great food - look no further! We had an over water bungalow and enjoyed being able to jump straight in to an amazing reef just off the bungalow steps. Literally saw sharks, eels, turtles, octopus and so many colourful fish every single day. The reception will lend you snorkelling gear but deffo worth investing in your own - you will use it! And fins were super useful as the currents could be a bit strong at times. The buffet food was great - with lots of cooking stations - I particularly enjoyed sushi day where they were carving sashimi off a massive tuna fish right in front of us. We went for half board as we are not big eaters or drinkers - and I was concerned we would be charged loads for drinks when we got there - but actually found it quite reasonable. $5 for a glass of wine with dinner and about $10 for a (really nice) cocktail in the bar. Juice in the morning and bottles of water are free. So half board is definitely do-able here. Oh and as a first time visitor to the Maldives, I was a bit anxious about the seaplane transfer timings etc - but tui/Dreamland sorted all this for us making sure us and our baggage were well on time for our international flight even though it was early in the morning. So in summary - Dreamland is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the beautiful beaches and sealife!
