We just came back from a week at SAii Lagoon Maldives – Curio Collection by Hilton, and honestly, it was one of the most beautiful experiences we’ve ever had as a familyand the best vacation ever! We stayed in a beach villa, then a beach villa with pool, and finally in an overwater villa with pool – each one better than the last, and all of them just amazing. The location is super convenient, really close to Malé (which means short transfer times), but once you’re on the island, it’s peaceful, quiet, and feels like a whole other world – quiet and calm, just pure paradise. Still, there are plenty of shops and restaurants to explore – we tried the buffet, Mediterranean, Thai, Indian, and even the Hard Rock next door, and everything we ate was absolutely delicious. We even got to meet the chef, Rami Ishak, and enjoy one of his special dinners – what a treat! The food variety and quality were perfect throughout the whole week. There were so many activities to join – we painted coconuts, decorated cupcakes, did snorkeling lessons, played volleyball, yoga, a cocktail masterclass, and even coral planting at the Maldives Discovery Centre, which felt both meaningful and fun. The highlight for us, though, was going diving with sharks – yes, it’s expensive, but absolutely worth every cent. An unforgettable adventure! In the evenings, there were shows and live music – our favorite was a fantastic lady band called V’NEZ. The rooms were spotless and cleaned daily (sometimes more than once!), and the staff – wow. Just wow. Everyone was so warm and kind, it felt like we were staying with friends. A huge thank you to Vicky (the manager), who went above and beyond to make sure we felt special. And big hugs to Sam, Maanu, Randa, Yusuf, and all the others who made our stay so memorable. We truly felt cared for every step of the way. We’re already dreaming of coming back.
