Hideaway Beach Resort and Spa

My partner & I absolutely loved this place! Island was amazing! Water villas were amazing! Great sized Villas very spacious! Food was great! Facilities were great! It was a perfect Holiday! 5 restaurants, everything you need and want! I highly recommend Hideaway resort! Also a huge shout out to Safar & his team at the MATHEEFARU restaurant. He was always accommodating, great service, nothing was too hard, organised a beautiful table for us at the end of the Jetty as it was a special occasion. Was always smiling & happy to help with whatever we needed, very professional! Thank you so much & we will be back again one day in the near future! 5 stars is not enough.

My partner and I stayed 10 days mid March 2025 in an Ocean Villa. Overall the experience was special and something we will never forget not least because of the friendly and great Hideaway team - from our personal butler Ismail, to housekeeping, the operations manager and all others in the background giving their all to make guests feel welcomed and at home. The Ocean Villa was spacious and clean. We wanted a villa facing the ocean, however on our arrival none were available, so we stayed one night in a villa facing the lagoon. The operations manager however made it possible for us to switch after 1 night to a villa facing the ocean - which was great! The highlight of the island itself is the natural and healthy house reef, which attracts a lot of sea life. Stingrays, eagle rays, sea turtles, reef sharks and a variety of fish can be seen nearly on a daily basis - even around the Ocean Villa area! We even saw some dolphins swim by close to the beach on our last day while having a sundowner - really special! The food on average is very good - the breakfast buffet has a large variety and our favorite restaurant was the Asian-fusion Samsara restaurant, which server superbly cooked dishes and had an outstanding service. The buffet dinner in the main restaurant changes its theme very day, so there is sufficient variety. Make no mistake, it is not cheap, with around USD 80 p.p. for the buffet dinner excl. drinks. Expect to pay around USD 400 to USD 450 for two persons incl. a lower end priced bottle of wine. Last but not least, the staff is incredibly engaged to make guests have a special experience and try to cater for all needs. Housekeeping cleans the villa twice a day - our villa was spotless! The grounds are maintained daily by the gardeners - cleaning and evening out the island pathways. Beach area is also maintained - with towels and glasses being cleaned up reasonably quick after guests left. A few examples to show the attentiveness of the staff - on my birthday, which I celebrated there, the breakfast table was decorated in my honor and I was given a small, delicious chocolate cake. We also booked a Turtle Swimming tour, which normally requires a minimum of 4 persons: we were the only couple, but the resort made it happen anyway as it was my birthday (so we had a private tour at no extra costs). Our private butler Ismail responded fast and professional to all our enquiries and requests, was friendly (but not overbearing) and always came at least once a days (at breakfast or dinner) to see if everything was all right. Thanks again to the Hideaway team for making this a great and unforgettable experience.

Had a wunderful time here and Hideaway was by far the best hotel we experienced so far. Everything was top - the service, the food, the outdoor activities (diving, gym, tennis, snorkeling) as well as the sea and the apartments. Whenever we had a question or a problem somebody was there whithin a few minutes to help us. Also everybody was super friendly - no matter which situation! Special thanks to Shahin, the best butler, Shahid, our best service man, Carmen, our diving teacher and Hridoy for the great housekeeping! Family Lindl

Amazing place and we had an amazing stay. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service that set the tone for our entire stay. Amazing staff, always smiling and ready to help you with anything. Thank you Majeed, Manjula, Tina, Bina, Ali, and all the staff for making our stay unforgettable.

Spent 7 nights at this beautiful hideaway for our honeymoon. Not only is the water villa beautiful but private as well, where you can attain snorkeling gear for free and snorkle around the snorkling area in the island. Lots to do and the staff are amazing at supporting and taking care of your needs and requirements. Customer service is top tier as they make every moment special and memorable. The food! Is absolutely amazing, my personal favourite is the seafood soup, tuna tartar and pineapple custard dessert at sunset Pool, where we met Bina who was so amazing to us! Great customer service and attentiveness, knowledge about the services the island provides and guidance. Following along was Vishahu and Ravindu who took well care of us during our trip. Speaking of attentiveness and guidance, Ishmail, our butter for the trip, was absolutely amazing, meeting our requirements perfectly and always made sure we feel comfortable and well taken care of. The food at Matheefaru was beyond amazing! Dinner was an absolute blast, with so many options from the buffet, including different themed nights. Never ate with my stomach beyond full, with amazing desserts, the red snapper was just on point. The whole process of travelling from Malé to hideaway resort was seemingly easy, as they made it very welcoming and straightforward. The customer service from the transport to our stay at hideaway has been above and beyond exceptional. Thank you again for having us! Would definitely recommend 👌
