Resorts in North Ari Atoll

"We had an amazing time, a week of sun and no rain. Very organised transfer to and from Varu via speed boat. Our room was the water suite with endless views of the sea. Good selection of food at Lime and Chili. Teppanyaki was worth the extra cost, managed to book the restaurant without sharing it with other guests. All staff friendly and welcoming. Managed to get lots of things done on the Island from star gazing, spa treatments, watching the sun rise and set!"

"Nem transport fra lufthavn til Bandos - ideelt for 4-5 dages ophold. "

"Great resort , well located 20-25 minutes speed boat ride to Male airport . Very attentive staff, great food and amenities. Water ocean villa are just amazing and very well kept like new. Also great to be able to snorkel around the island straight from the villa . Well recommended ! Thanks for a great experience! "

"it was the best experience with Centara we had the best time ever hope i will come back thank you guys so much "

"Had a blast w ocean view and loved it so much and were very sad to leave "

" Great island, water villa spot on. Foo outstanding and cleaners and waiters/chefs and bar staff amazing. Reception staff need more training to ensure the same consistent friendly experience as they did not look comfortable dealing with guests and slow support. Would revisit however resort management need to urgently change health and safety warrior their maintenance staff. Such low standards exhibited working with electric equipment in water under the spa, no risk mitigation which is not acceptable. No personal protective equipment and high risk to loss of life in addition to impact on guests. "

"Amazing place, great water bungalow, staff are fantastic and the reef is incredible "

"Incredible 10 day stay at Kuramathi - with our 3 year old daughter! Highlights: We chose Kuramathi partly because of the kids club, which was even better than expected. It's much bigger than the website photos suggest, with two splash pads and a pool with slide, a garden, and lovely indoor play area. Our daughter loved it so much and kept requesting to go back. The staff are fun, caring and engaging. Huge thanks to Konnie, Rashma, Rachelle and Sara for making Wren feel so happy and secure. We were full board and ate at the buffet restaurants, rather than a la carte. The food was exceptional, better than any other buffet we have eaten at. The breakfast almond croissants deserve a special mention! The house reef is huge, wrapping three quarters of the island. While some parts have suffered slightly bleaching, there are numerous healthy varieties of coral. The fish life is incredible, and there is a huge population of black tip reef sharks. Access is easy from the beach or jetty - even our toddler could do it. Watching the black tips hunting fish from the jetty was such a highlight. Rasdhoo Dive Centre was excellent - we did a refresher dive on the reef, Wata was an excellent guide. We also did the Madivaru Dive, famous for white tip reef sharks, which was stunning. The excursions are excellent, well worth the money. We swam with manta rays on two separate snorkelling boat trips, which was an unforgettable experience."

"My husband and I had a lovely time at the hotel. The staff are all friendly and go out their way to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. The hotel is new and spacious. The restaurants are all good with a lot of variety, the Indian was excellent and our favourite. I would recommend this hotel if you just want to chill and relax…"
