Our stay at Intercontinental Maldives was exceptional! Once landing at Malé a representative greeted us, took our luggage and passport to check you in for the seaplane. Once done, they escort you to the luxurious IC Car to transport you to the Seaplane terminal. If you need to wait a bit for your seaplane, you can enjoy their amazing lounge. The flight took around 45 minutes to the island non-stop. The island is true paradise, with amazing staff and meal options. We stayed at the sunrise overwater pool villa and it was really spaceous and comfortable. The outdoor area was nice as well with a large pool and a cute lounge area. We loved that we were provided with bikes for our stay so we could easily get around the island. But in the evening we used buggy service that made the dinner dates very comfortable. The main restaurant serves delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. The quality of the meals was extremely high in international 5* standards. We also tried the two specialty restaurants, the Fish Market (seafood) and The Lighthouse (mediterranean), none of them disappoint, make sure to try the mango sticky rice at the Fish Market! The best part of the island was the spa and the lagoon. The spa is honestly the most picturesque we have ever seen, each treatment is done in an overwater room with amazing views. The couple massage was great too, the staff was very kind and professional. The lagoon is amazing as the water is really calm there all the time and is beautiful just to chill around, perfect with kids! The resort is very kids and family friendly, however also great for couples. There is an adults only pool as well for the couples to enjoy. One of the great perks you get at resort is the Club Benefits that are given to every guest. This includes complimentary soft drinks during the day, afternoon tea and complimentary aperitif. The best activity to do is the Manta excursion which is one of the biggest highlight of the resort as there is regular manta ray presence around the waters of the hotel. The dolphin sunset cruise was also great, dolphins are very regular visitors in the area. We could not find any inconvenience or issue during our stay, the housekeeping service was also excellent and included turndown service. We will definitely be back to the resort and it definitely lived up to our high expectations!
