Summer Island Maldives

We just got back from our 10 day honeymoon at Summer Islands and had the most amazing time. Room- we stayed in an overwater villa and loved it. It was so wonderful to be able to always see into the sea and we saw lots of fish under our villa. It was very clean with a large, comfy bed and a big jacuzzi bath. Loved the bath and a large rain shower. I’m so happy we stayed in an overwater villa and would definitely recommend. When you stay in an overwater villa you have access to the over water restaurant and bar which is a chilled, quiet and romantic dining experience. Food- we had all inclusive and the food was delicious. The breakfast buffet was great, I think at the main buffet was maybe better because they make fresh waffles and pancakes. Lunch and dinner were 4 courses at the over water restaurant and it was really tasty food. Our waiter Zanveer was incredible, he always did the most to give us the best experience. All the staff were really friendly, helpful and lovely. Island activities- the infinity pool was stunning, we loved it. Table tennis and badminton were fun and the snooker table in the bar. The evening entertainment was good particularly the live jazz singer and DJ. Excursions- we did the sunset cruise and would highly recommend, it was romantic and special. It is a private two person cruise to see the sunset with sushi, desserts and champagne and it was incredible. We did the honeymoon package at the spa and loved it. It was relaxing and romantic. Would highly recommend. We did the honeymoon water sports package. The glass kayak was awesome, you see a lot of fish and potentially sharks. Also, we went on a jet ski and it was very fun. We did the Malé city tour and really enjoyed it. It was something different and cultural. The tour guide showed us loads and went above and beyond to take photos of us and ensure we had a great time. The best bit was the fish and food market and seeing all the sting rays in the water. Overall we could not have asked for a better honeymoon, we enjoyed every second of it and hope one day to return to summer island.

I and my wife stayed at summer island for 7 days from 10 Aug to 17 Aug. The first 3 days we stayed in beachfront villa and the next 4 days we stayed in water villa. Half board is enough for us since we don't eat too much. We just brought some snakes for our lunch. We arrived Male airport around 11pm and the receptionist already waiting for us in counter A10. Just taking 45mins then we arrived at summer island. The weather was good so we could see so many stars in a clear sky in the speed boat trip. Unfortunately, the weather turned bad from the 2nd day and lasted for a whole week, all day cloudy, always raining, sometimes strong wind. There was sunshine in a very short time in only 2 days. In the 2nd day, we received a notice from the hotel to advise us not to go into the water. We booked a snorkeling trip but it was also cancelled due to bad weather condition. Surely I was very disappointed. Some staffs told us that the weather was quite good in the previous week. Anyway it is just unlucky. Anyway, we went snorkeling by ourselves once we felt the weather was okay and we saw many carol fishes, baby shark, stingray, pufferfish, clownfish, butterfly fish near seashore. We bring our own marks, snorkels, shoes by ourselves. We paid 15 USD for lifejacket for a day and paid 10 USD for another half day. During raining and strong wind that the weather condition is not proper for snorkeling, we always went to gym room. It's good place when we feel nothing to do. There are 2 restaurants in the island. Samuga restaurant located in the middle of the island servers all people. Hiya restaurant located near water villa only serves the people who live in water villa. If someone who lives in beachfront villa and would like to go Hiya, they have to pay extra money. As we like Samuga more than Hiya, even though we stayed in water villa, we often have our dinner in Samuga. I would like to specially thanks to a waiter whose name Chathuranga. He works in Samuga restaurant. He is a polite person. He always smiling and very nice us. Every time when I and my wife just entered to the restaurant, he remembered which table we preferred and went there to prepare serving us. Summer island is a charming and peaceful small island. We liked to take a walk on the path. Everyone smiles and say hi to you. Every time when we walked to the pier we saw baby sharks. Their length is about 3-feet. One time we saw 3 baby sharks together. I also saw a big fruit bat flying in day time. I had never seen such a big bat before. There are many small lizards on the island. Very interesting!

Our 6-day stay at Summer Island Maldives was amazing! We started in a superior beach villa, just steps from the beautiful sandy beach and clear water. The villa was spacious, comfortable, and had stunning ocean views. Halfway through, we moved to a water villa, which was an incredible experience. Waking up to the sound of the waves and being able to step right into the sea was unforgettable. The best part of our stay was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with anything we needed. Their kindness made our trip even more special. Everything was top-notch, except for the slow WiFi. But honestly, it was nice to unplug and enjoy the natural beauty around us. A huge thank you to the Summer Island Maldives team for an unforgettable vacation. ❤️❤️❤️

Rooms here didn't feel luxurious. It was nice and clean, but felt lacking compared to other resorts. Food was also not so so. Some days there was barely any delicious food. There was a lack of variety. They repeat same dish from lunch to dinner sometimes. It's nice for a first experience. But after having had good resort experiences, it's a bit of a disappointment. Also, there was a lack of privacy in the beach. Workers just stayed chatting pretending to work on the trees. They stood there for a good 30 minutes and we couldn't come out as it was super awkward. They knew we were there coz they kept staring when we poke our heads out.

A wonderful place with a great atmosphere, very friendly staff and a beautiful beach. We liked a lot the free snorkeling tours where we swam with turtles, sharks and many fishes. At the buffet there were also a lot of tasteful vegetarian meals and a big choice of everything.
