NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort

#maldiveshotel NH Collection Maldives Havodda — Where Freedom Feels Like Barefoot Luxury Back for the third time. And still in love with NH Collection Maldives Havodda (ex-Amari) in Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll— not because it’s flashy, but because it’s *free*. No heels. No dresses. No pretense. Just you, barefoot on soft sand, walking to dinner under stars — and no one cares what you wear. (Though I did laugh at a woman in stilettos and Gucci bag… honey, this is not Milan. This is paradise.) ✨ **Why We Keep Coming Back:** 📍 **Overwater villa 101** — home away from home. Perfectly located, private, peaceful. 🌊 Direct lagoon access — jump in anytime. Reef fish glide under the floor. 🌤️ **Weather magic:** → Feb: endless sun, calm seas, → Apr–May: sunny days, rain only at night — nature’s lullaby, → Oct: first half golden, second moody — dramatic skies, powerful rain, but never ruined the trip. 🍽️ **Food & Vibe:** → Buffet + à la carte — fresh seafood, local curries, global dishes, → No dress code. Just joy. → Staff? Warm, smiling, always ready with cold towels and a joke. 🤿 **Snorkeling:** The house reef is alive! Turtles, rays, blacktips — all close. We bring our own mask & fins — but rentals are free if you don’t. 🧴 **Eco-heart:** We skip sunscreen. It kills coral. Instead: UV-protective swimwear. I swim in long-sleeve rash guard + leggings — zero burns, full freedom. Let’s protect this beauty together. ⚠️ Big news:** Rebranded from Amari to NH Collection**. We hope prices stay fair — this place should remain within reach of those who truly love it. This isn’t just a resort. It’s a **state of mind**: simple, deep, real. See you here in August. Barefoot. Unplugged. Alive. 📍 Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll #nhcollectionhavodda #maldivesfreedom #barefootluxury #realparadise #anatravels
