"My experience at the resort felt special from the moment I booked. The team stayed in touch through WhatsApp and answered every question with patience and warmth. When my outbound flight was cancelled, Husaam from reservations went above and beyond, offering to move my dates even after the cancellation window, which gave me huge peace of mind. Arriving by seaplane was magical, and being welcomed with a cold cocktail set the tone. My host Kun was incredible — she organised all of our restaurant bookings, sorted excursions, and even found us a new room immediately when our air‑con failed. She genuinely cared about making our stay perfect. Our lagoon villa was beautiful, and housekeeping was consistently great, with Adam leaving us a lovely handmade anniversary message. Across the resort, the staff made us feel like royalty and friends at the same time. The superstars who truly made our stay unforgettable were Shinnu, Viaam, Rose, Sumit, Shush, Gabriel, Ruwan, Salta, Lavino, Afey, Ravi, Nasif, and Venera. Entertainment was a joy thanks to the multi‑talented Vera, who seemed to do everything from yoga to evening shows, and Rina, who was equally warm and engaging. Meals were consistently delicious, especially breakfast thanks to chef Supan. The reef, the trips, and the whole atmosphere made the stay feel dreamy. I left wishing I’d booked a few more nights — it was the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion, and I’d happily return."

"Our stay in Furaveri Resort was wonderful from the moment we arrived in Male. They arranged to meet us and took us to the seaplane along with our luggage. Every detailed was so meticulously planned. I can honestly say all the staff were very friendly from the manager, waiters, cleaners and groundsmen. They looked after us so well. The food was excellent, great spa treatment and sports facilities."

"Very clean and staff are very nice"

"Everything you need for the perfect Maldivian experience, The Standard has to offer. We are returning customers and plan on going back. There is simply no place like it. Extremely kid friendly, prestine beaches and excellent service. Food options well exceeded any expectations, with numerous options for every taste bud. Highly recommended The Standard!!"

"Reethi Faru is a true beauty with an unspoilt feel. There are tall palms, lush vegetation, colourful flowers, and a powdery ribbon of white sand around the whole island. Everything is well kept and very clean. Staff is welcoming and friendly, they are a great asset to the resort. My garden villa was of a generous size, loved the comfy large bed and the half-open bathroom. Food was of high standard consistently, the buffet was really varied and plentiful. The island provides a good balance between serenity and being active and bit more social, can do both. There are quiet spots, but also activities on offer. Personal highlights were the incredible spa - very high quality treatments and professional therapists at this beautiful facility - and the manta ray snorkelling trip. I do hope to be back some day! And in the meantime, absolutely recommend to visit, it’s just the right place for a wonderful Maldivian experience. "

"Clean rooms, good food , great house reef , lots of families which is to be expected as has a kids club- but when the resort is busy it’s difficult to avoid . As such not very romantic . "

" It is an amazing resort, and I was lucky enough to spend my birthday there. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, which made our stay truly special. We were especially impressed by Maniuu, who looked after us throughout our stay and made sure everything was perfect. We absolutely loved the sound and healing session overlooking the beach with the wonderful June – it was such a peaceful and unique experience. All of the restaurant staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the food was consistently good with great variety. The marine life around the resort is incredible. We saw sharks, many beautiful fish, and even manta rays, which was an unforgettable experience. The surroundings are simply stunning. We stayed in an overwater bungalow, which was fantastic – amazing views, a spacious and comfortable room, and the nets overlooking the ocean were my favourite spot to lie back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. I also received a birthday cake, which was not only delicious but such a thoughtful and lovely gesture. I truly felt spoiled. During our stay, we also took part in art classes with an amazing artist. I was genuinely surprised by how unhurried and detailed the experience was – he was incredibly patient, explained everything step by step, and we came away with a beautiful keepsake to remember our time there. We also enjoyed a lovely sunset cruise, which was the perfect way to end our days. Overall, it was a beautiful, memor"

"From the moment you arrive at the resort, Rohit and the team make you feel exceptionally welcome. Everyone is very friendly and took care of all our needs. Sid, our house butler, took excellent care of us for the entire week. Nazmul our villa attendant kept our villa spotless and was always very friendly. The choice of food is great with multiple restaurants available. Chris , the sommelier and Nitin , enhanced our dining experiences. The chef at Asiatique, sorry can't remember name, helped make a birthday celebration exceptional.. "
