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!

Last sunday we leave for Milan. We had a wonderful relaxing holiday. Dreamland is a wonderful island, you can immerse yourself in a sea so beautiful that it feels like swimming in an aquarium, or relax under the shade of its palm trees and mangroves. Thank you to the helpful, kind, impeccable and very professional staff. Thanks for everything!

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!!!!

Where do i begin……..after arriving on a seaplane (amazing experience) we were taken to reception to be greeted with a cold towel & a lovely drink. We stayed in a beach bungalow no 160 which was perfect with our own little beach, perfectly placed for everything…….the staff are amazing, very friendly but not in your face …….we did lots of snorkelling from outside our bungalow…..we saw beautiful fish & one day nurse sharks swimming so close …..wow. The island is kept very clean by the staff. They offer a free trip we chose the snorkelling adventure one which was amazing we saw turtles, beautiful fish & sharks. We also did the sunset dolphin trip……we did indeed see the dolphins & also on the was back did fishing ( I caught a big emptier fish. What a fantastic island……amazing. The only negative I would say is we did get bitten by the mosquitos……remember your spray & bite cream.

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!

We are here at the moment. If you want paradise it most definitely is here. From our arrival by seaplane to a little jetty where we were met by a boat and taken a little way to the larger jetty, met by staff it was all very well organised. The staff greeted us with a very welcome cold, wet flannel. Taken to book in where we greeted with a very welcome drink. Booking in was quick and easy and soon taken to our accommodation. Accommodation We chose the over water bungalow which was stunning. A very large living area, bedroom. The coffee table with a glass bottom was a great touch. The bathroom is very roomy and well decorated with a lovely bath. Also an outdoor shower which was absolutely fantastic and very useful. In fact we didn’t use the indoor one. The air conditioning worked great. The rooms are clean & the staff come in after you’ve left for breakfast to clean, change sheets etc & come back in the evening to shut curtains & turn bed down. The internet is good (probably better in the bungalow than in the main areas) Restaurants We predominantly ate in the sea view restaurant as we could sit eating watching to fish go by including nursery sharks and many more. The food and staff were fabulous. Always a good choice of food. When you have eaten (all meals etc breakfast ) or had a drink at the bars you will need to sign a receipt. You can also take some water and a couple of cans of drink back to room. Bar The bar is by the bio top lake which is nice. In the evening there can be a few flies and mosquitoes around also watch out for bats flying around day and night. We snorkelled most days. I am by no means an experienced swimmer or snorkeller but we went out most days. The fish etc are incredible. The lagoon is beautiful. If you head toward the rocks and the reef it is awesome albeit a bit scary. Yesterday we swam with a huge turtle and a nursery shark. The sea is the clearest I’ve ever seen, absolutely crystal and the sand is so white it’s dazzling. There is a heron that visits most days and numerous crabs. The small ones are around in the day and last night coming back from dinner we saw the biggest crap. A few geckos dotted around also. We still have a week left of out two week holiday but today we have storms so took the time to right this review. As the weather is a bit rubbish today (still 30 degrees) I am having a massage. Also included in the all inclusive package is a free excursion which we are doing on Thursday. Island hopping. We can’t fault this holiday at all. It’s pure paradise and would definitely return.
