Travelers' Choice
Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa Maldives is an exclusive all-suite resort for those who demand genuine luxury and expect only the best. Space and privacy is a hallmark at Hideaway which has some of the largest beachfront villas in the Maldives. Opened in 2005, and widely updated in a US$50m renovation in 2014, Hideaway has 103 extremely spacious villas, all (except seven Sunset Beach Villas) with their own private pool or Jacuzzi. The 57 contemporary style over-water villas stand on stilts over the lagoon while the 46 beachfront villas have a timeless, classic Maldives feel, each with its own private beach and hidden away among lush tropical gardens for complete privacy. Hideaway’s island host (butler) service is near legendary, ensuring that a dream vacation with exemplary service is a reality. Famous for its outstanding double coral reef that brings a vibrant underwater world to just a few meters from its shores, Hideaway is a tropical paradise of long stretches of soft white sand beaches and a warm, crystal-clear turquoise lagoon. Only a 75-minute seaplane flight from the capital city, Male, Hideaway is also easily reached by more exclusive transport: its marina offers a berth for yacht owners while those arriving by private jet can land at Hanimaadhoo International Airport (HAQ), which is an easy 25-minute speedboat journey from Hideaway. Four restaurants and bars offer a world of fine dining including an excellent wine collection, and where the resort really stands out is in its tailor-made dining experiences. The spa is a true wellness haven with 12 private treatment suites, steam room and hair salon set in manicured gardens. For those who love to be active, two outdoor pools, the recreation centre with its gym, two tennis courts, beach volleyball court, as well as extensive watersports, fishing, diving and a range of excursions ensures there’s always something new to explore. Luxury travelers can expect more activities to come soon. A tennis academy by Nikolay Davydenko will open in November 2015. The Russian professional tennis player, who achieved a singles world ranking of 3, and his team will offer coaching clinics for all levels, from absolute beginner to professionals. Also opened in November 2015 is an over-water aqua park of floats, slides, water trampolines which is complimentary to all guests.

He made sure our anniversary was one to remember with a beautiful table decoration... He also decorated our table for our last night which made it all the more special... We just hope the tourists don’t ruin the reef as we did see some tourists standing on the coral which made us quite upset for Hideaway as they are trying to preserve the pristine and untouched environment of the island...

We had a smooth and quick check-in inside our villa by our professional butler Shahin, who was with us on a daily basis making our stay well extra special for being organized and hassle free throughout... The activities included in this package is well selected, we did the sunset dolphin cruise and snorkeling Thanks to Fouady who was guiding us in both qnd for being very helpful... it would be a good recommendation to include a spa option or one dine in room/ room service for either lunch or dinner during the stay in the all inclusive package... The staff are very helpful, kind and polite... Najima our waitress at Meeru Cafe and Samsara Asian restaurant was just amazing and made our experience exceptional... Making special arrangements and suggesting menu items... Thanks to all staff of Hideaway resort and special thanks to Shahin and Najima..... It was a nice to see the GM Amir looking after the guests and the staff during our stay .... We will definitely consider visiting Hideaway resort again...

    ...Upon arrival the turquoise clear water welcomes you, along with the friendly staff... We had the white platinum package which we would highly recommend... Complimentary bikes are included to get around the island or a buggy is just a phone call away... We were lucky enough to have Esraa as our Butler... She is a real credit to Hideaway as she did everything in her power to make our trip a very special one... On our anniversary she organised flowers as requested and there was so a lovely floral decoration in our room , along with a bottle of champagne on ice which we really appreciated... The food at Samsara Restaurant was faultless along with the superb service that was provided by Sonai... He made sure our anniversary was one to remember with a beautiful table decoration... He also decorated our table for our last night which made it all the more special... Sonai was very attentive with service and was always obliging to take photos... Thanks Hideaway, it’s a trip we will always remember, wanting to come back already!...

    ...We were met by our butler, Yana, who took us to our villa, explained everything we needed to know and told us about the bookings for restaurants and activities she'd made for us. Because the island is quite large, we had bikes to use to get around and could also call for a buggy to take us wherever we wanted to go... Thank you Hideaway Resort, for such a wonderful holiday... And a big 'thank you' to Yana, who checked in with us everyday to see if we needed anything and to chat about our plans...

    I, and my now fiancé (with everlasting thanks to the outstanding, caring and attentive people at Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa) had the great pleasure of experiencing one of the most picturesque, tranquil, relaxing and truly remarkable holidays at beautiful Hideaway Beach Resort and Spa for 6 days in February... The picturesque scenery, beautiful clear ocean waters, outstanding and large ocean villa, fantastic food at all the restaurants and the level of attention, care, consideration and service that Hideaway and its team offers is honestly unbelievable and truly world class... I have had the great fortune to have visited many different resorts all around the world, and Hideaway is certainly top tier when it comes to service... We had the pleasure of spending 6 days here and it was made all the more memorable and special, with huge thanks to the following: Jokey (Concierge/Butler), Amey (Excursions Manager), Thitima (Events Manager), Faudy, Abdulavihaad, Shafooga, Yousef, Shahid and Abul... Their collective efforts throughout our stay made this one of the most outstanding holidays and I/we can't thank them enough for making our stay truly memorable and remarkable... Christophe the General Manager also makes you feel extremely welcome and well catered for and quite frequently comes by at dinner or during the day to check and ensure that everything is to your satisfaction... Its no surprise that it was rated Best of the Best 2022...

    ...We would like to highlight first the team spirit , the service and the management support during the entire trip... I would like to mention a few people and staff but actually the entire team was outstanding... In the restaurant: Shahid who serve us the best breakfast ;-) For families with kids: the kids club offers fantastic activities for the whole day... As the island is far from the capital, there is only one seaplane per day so you most probably need to take the domestic flight and count with longer travel time... But beside that, the resort, the facilities and the service is perfect!... Diving center: Sara who managed for us many beautiful diving courses... Resort Manager / GM Amir & Christophe who always keen to provide the best solution... Last but not least our butler Muson, who support us during the entire holiday with passion and creativity!...

    This was the most amazing experience my husband and I have ever had... From arrival at Male Airport to departure everything was so smooth... We were greeted by staff and our transition to Island and return was awesome... The staff at the resort were next level, amazing, so happy, helpful and nothing was too much trouble... Our favourite was Samsara’s which we visited 3 times and a huge shout out to our waiter Sonai... Sonai was absolutely awesome, he was so helpful, informative and nothing was too much trouble... He made our last night so special and we were very spoilt and so thankful... Also a big thanks to Adi who waited on us many times, Markhaba our butler for making our bookings and our arrival and departure so smooth... Also a big thanks to Amir for his chats and making us laugh many times and for the fishing trip he sent us on and only to return empty handed.🤣🤣 However we had a great time... There are just too many people to thank individually as everyone was amazing, wait staff, buggy drivers, cleaners, dive staff and to the men that make the beach so amazing every day...

They send a golf buggy to take you to dinner and breakfast, or you can ride the bikes they provided, or you can walk... Staff were very friendly and accommodating, including our personal butler Thoriq... The seaplane transfer from Male to the resort offered a great view over the atolls...

    ...The Hideaway is a totally magical place from the moment you arrive to your departure you are treated royally. Our sunset villa was beautiful in an amazing location comfortable and welcoming with glorious bedding and an abundance of towels ... Both our butlers Nazym and Yana took care of us so well ... The housekeeping boys did a great job particularly keeping me well stocked with mosquito repellent certainly needed for me but it is that attention to detail that is so brilliant ... The service and food in the restaurants also excellent with Sam the sommelier being the most delightful man with incredible knowledge... Friendly professional service from the vast majority of the staff showing great training... Finally do visit the spa Boughie’s massage was incredible... Thank you Hideaway a wonder experience...

    ...Breakfast was a dream you do not want to miss out when starting your day...with as consequence that we skipped lunch every day during our two weeks stay. The Buffet during evening was good as well, particular the grill station with different selections of fresh fish every day... Salad bar, chease selection...everything else was simply world class... Willy and Quin organized wonderful dives and allowed a lot of flexibility in terms of departure times and places to visit... Often it felt like personalizied diving holidays as I was the only guest onboard... Only 15 minutes by boat you reach a Manta cleaning stations allowing fantastic opportunities to meet with these majestic animals... Last but not least the employees of Hideaway are the ones who make this Luxury place really different: everyone is friendly, helpuful doing everything to make your holiday an experience of a lifetime... Buggy service works fine and in case of any question or complaint there is always an immediate reaction to get things solved... Holidays in paradise, we certainly will come back A particular thanks to all employees of Hideaway: you realy made our stay unforgettable...

    ...Even though we were the only ones arriving at the time, the general manager Christophe and his staff were there to meet us with a very warm welcome. We were immediately driven to our beautiful overwater bungalow... After a very brief check in by our butler Zareer we were ready to begin our amazing 6 night stay pinching ourselves everyday - is this really real?... The location is beautiful beyond words and the service is the warmest and friendliest I have ever experienced... Everyone on the staff was so friendly, always with a smile and hello... From our butler Zareer who always somehow found us wherever we were to check in on us and make sure we had everything we needed, to Adi at the Meeru who always greeted my husband by name and remembered what we liked to drink, to Aris also at Meeru who was nervous because she was new but was super sweet to us, to the girl (I'm sorry I did not get her name) at the buffet who welcomed us every morning and always knew where we liked to sit... We preferred the bikes or walking for transportation but the times we called for a buggy ride, we were picked up within minutes... A final big thanks to our butler Zareer and the housekeeping staff who arranged for a beautiful surprise for us in our bungalow on the evening of our 20th anniversary...

It was so comfortable because you always responded to inquiries and requests with a smile!... Also, the next day after arriving, I hurt my hand while snorkeling, and Mrs Anita, who treated me sincerely, Especially, I was so touched that Christophe Adam, the general manager, wished me a good recovery and gave me chocolate as a gift!...

    ...I booked through Luxery Escapes and very pleased with their offers and customer service. Getting there and back was so easy thanks to their reps who meet you at check in and literally carry you through the whole process... Standard size check in luggage accepted and ours was very large but they do stick to the 20kg... We were a bit over and another guest under so they worked it out... No questions asked on our way back... Nice boat for the 20 minute ride to the resort and once you get there it’s gorgeous... Our butler Anastasiia look us for a tour and then to our beautiful overwater bay side villa 207... I asked for the most shade possible and by early afternoon we had full shade... Breathtaking view, enormous bathroom and comfy beds and we didn’t have to ask for extra hangers!... Definitely go for the platinum package as it’s so worth it and we enjoyed the tattinger bubbles at every lunch and dinner... Some wines worth trying are Garland Crest Chardonnay, Stoneburn Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot, Darling cellars cab/merlot blend and our fav Toro Centenario Malbec which they were nice enough to grab from another restaurant as they were out at Samsara, They are totally open to substitutions and special requests at all restaurants and in your minibar... The staff and service provided is outstanding... They are the perfect mix of providing everything you need but not hovering... GM Christophe is everywhere, always ensuring your happiness... The app is very helpful and answers to anything you need are just a WhatsApp message away... Special shout out to some of the wonderful staff we met... Anastasiia, our well traveled and so helpful butler; Buugie best massage ever, Sweet waitress from Bali who always remembered my macchiato order for breakfast; Max and Daria at the Sunset Pool cafe and finally the staff at Meeru including Manager Rashera who provided us so much background and info on the area, Adi and my personal favorite Agus...

The staff caters to you hand and foot... We had a villa in the water that comes with a pool and steps to the ocean (in which you can go snorkeling and see the coral in your back yard)... I’m so grateful my wife and I went her for our honeymoon...

Food was excellent every evening and we both enjoyed treatments at the spa (I recommend the Balinese massage)... Yana our excellent personal assistant messaged daily with ideas, bookings and everything and anything we needed... Buggy service was prompt and efficient and we made the very most of our free flow drinks package!... A perfect luxury escape in a world class resort...

Some of the memories that will remain with us forever is waking up every morning and watching the sunrise over the water while we drank coffee on on deck, riding bikes around the island, relaxing at the pool and some of the most amazing snorkeling we have ever done, not to mention all the playful dolphins we were able to see putting on a show during our dolphin cruise...

    ...We stayed in family Villa nr 135: a wonderfull, large and spacious Villa in maldivian style, a large infinity pool and your own private beach... What we particular enjoyed with Hideaway was that either you could stay completely alone with 100% privacy no noise, no neighbour in one of the family villas, or you join one of the many activities such as excursions, SPA, gym, sailing, diving, pool bar etc to meet other guests, relax, do sporting activities etc... It is not only the Taitinger champagne experience, the large wine and drink selection; also the restaurants available are simply fantastic... 5 restaurants (one - the Oasis - not included in the AI plan)... Breakfast was a dream you do not want to miss out when starting your day...with as consequence that we skipped lunch every day during our two weeks stay... The Buffet during evening was good as well, particular the grill station with different selections of fresh fish every day... Salad bar, chease selection...everything else was simply world class...

    Stayed at Hideaway during a recent visit. The Deluxe Overwater Villa is one of the best which we have stayed in... The villa was noticeably bigger than most villas you tend to find, extremely well made with all amenities you would expect and with a big private pool... The food was very good and the resort had many activities including a very good tennis court and an amazing gold simulator... The service of the team, especially our butler Nazeer, made the trip even more special...

    It is not hard to see why Hideaway was awarded 2022 Travelers' Choice Best of the Best!... The accommodation is beautiful, every amenity you could possibly need is provided... The ability to ride around the resort on a bicycle is so handy, and a great way to get your body moving after the endless supply of beautiful food and drinks... I cannot believe you can enjoy a meal at the Meeru Bar and Grill and walk not even 50 metres to snorkel on a reef which is comparable (if not better) than the Great Barrier Reef... We enjoyed the 3 day spa package, and were so well cared for and the treatment is, hands down, the best I have ever had... I have never had a massage as good and finishing in the steam room is a must!... Every person we have cycled past greets us, everyone has a smile on their face...and to be honest, why wouldn't you in paradise!... Everyone is a star at Hideaway Bay Resort and Spa...

The water-villas are very well equipped, spacious and comfortable... The private pool is the perfect size and very pleasant... The view on the lagoon is very nice, facing the sunset... We can only recommend this magnificent hotel, its very attentive staff and this heavenly site...

Thank you to all of you at the world's best place, Hideaway. We have been so fortunate to be there three times - most recently in October. And we will be back:) There is no better place. Hideaway fully lives up to its name. This time, we also tried out the Signature house with its own fantastic restaurant. We will for shore stay there again. It's dangerous to mention names - there are so many you would like to mention in such a nice place - but someone we want to highlight who has always been there is our good friend at the tennis/fitness facility. He always shows up and does everything to ensure you have the best training experience. For shore – we look forward to see Kanlesh, Yaiden, Dino, and Jefry also. An not to forget you Christoph. But as mentioned - unfortunately, we don't remember his name - but our friend at the fitness center is the very best and please say hallo to him from us Christoph. We have now stayed in room 302, 305, 130, and, not least, 502. And we will definitely return to both 502 and 305:) If we could wish for something Christoph, it would be: Merru could have some new dishes, and the living room in 302 could have a sofa instead of the large dining table. But these are small things. You won't find a better beach, better food, better service, better SPA, better training facilities or more privacy than at Hideaway. Thank you so much to all of you:)

Our stay at Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa was an absolute dream come true ! This was our second visit to the Maldives but first time in the resort and this resort was exactly as shown in the site and all the reviews we saw online!! We stayed on the water pool villas and took the all inclusive package which as always is the best option! Starting from the resort the management the staff and the amenities provided it was all GREAT and never regretted even for a second our decision to have chosen this resort for our anniversary. The resort it was amazing !!!! A little slice of heaven on earth, all natural and perfectly maintained with a wonderful reef for snorkelling. We also did the sunset cruise which was a great experience as we had the chance to see just right next to us a dozen of dolphins swimming and putting out a wonderful show for us. In regard to the staff, number one in our list will be our butler Shahin who was simply the best, a local from the Maldives!!! I really don't know where to start from, he took absolute good care of us, a real professional, kind and discreet who made us feel comfortable from the very first second we met, and always available and willing to assist the best possible way. Following him then would be Najima a staff member of the Meeru and Samsara restaurant (she was just adorable) she was funny and a pleasant company always welcoming with a warm smile and with excellent communication with every single guest. We are extremely grateful to her for surprising us by decorating the table for us with flowers as she knew the specific day that we had our anniversary and also on our last night there! It was highly appreciated and a touching gesture, it meant a lot to us. Last but not least will be Ravisha who was very friendly and excellent staff member of Meeru Bar Restaurant. Unfortunately we can't remember all the names of the staff from Meeru Bar Restaurant as they were all excellent and did their best to give us an excellent experience. We would like to thank every single person in the resort who made our stay so pleasant and magical and the management Mr Christophe for having such a crew!! Top recommendation for food : Samsara Restaurant and Meeru!!! Those two were our favourite!!!!! We would highly recommend this resort to anyone who would like to visit the Maldives and live the dream !! Hideaway gives the absolute luxury for unforgettable holidays. Thank you and Best Regards, Maria and Bob

My stay at Island Hideaway in the Signature Sultan Suite was nothing short of paradise. The snorkeling and water sports were absolutely incredible, providing an immersive experience in the stunning Maldivian waters. A special shoutout to Willie, the dive master extraordinaire, whose expertise made every dive memorable. Jokey's exceptional care ensured our stay was comfortable and worry-free. Island Hideaway exceeded expectations, thanks to its breathtaking scenery and a team that goes above and beyond. A definite must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable Maldivian retreat.

From the moment we checked into the Signature Collection Suite at Island Hideaway Resort, we knew we were in for a special treat. The suite was not just a room, but a haven of beauty, cleanliness, and attention to detail, offering a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Our butler, Jokey, was a standout. His professionalism, warmth, and remarkable efficiency made our stay extra special. He was always on hand, swiftly arranging a variety of activities that enriched our experience. The diving school, especially Willie, deserves high praise. Willie's expert guidance, coupled with his great sense of humor, made our diving sessions both safe and enjoyable. He's an excellent instructor who knows how to make every dive memorable. A surprising and delightful part of our trip was reconnecting with Mohammed from the water sports team, whom I knew from childhood. This unexpected reunion added a nostalgic touch to our already fantastic experience. The entire water sports team, including Mohammed, was fantastic, showing great patience and skill in teaching my friends how to wakeboard. The culinary experience at the resort was the cherry on top. Every meal was a delight, but the lobster dinner on our last night was truly exceptional. It was a gastronomic masterpiece that we won't soon forget. We extend our deepest thanks to the entire team at Island Hideaway Resort. Each member played a role in making our stay not just enjoyable, but truly memorable. We are already looking forward to our next visit to this little slice of paradise in the Maldives.

My stay was very pleasant. I particularly loved the customer service at the Meeru Restaurant. I distinctly remember the manager Kamlin. He demonstrated excellent professionalism as he met with guest to ensure that we all had the best experience while dining at Meeru. All staff exercised kindness and made extra efforts to take care of the guests. One waitress by the name of Najima, was simply amazing. She first greeted everyone with such an infectious smile. Then with such a elite passion to serve, I watched her work the room flawlessly. *Najima's style and grace and professionalism should be the standard as to how service should be provided around the World. ❤️ I was very pleased with the food, service and staff. The manager Kamlin and his staff made the guest a priority which is extremely for everyone who visits. The guest expect to relax and enjoy a nice dining experience and I must say that The Meeru staff did not disappoint. I considered that resturant to be the best on the Island. My favorite place to dine. I recommend that something special be provided for each and every staff who worked between November 8-15, 2023. Respectfully Submitted Mr. & Mrs. MICHAEL J.
