Beautiful resort and facilities! Gorgeous pure white soft sand, clear torquoise waters, lush vegetation. So clean, tidy and immaculate. Great instagram opportunities. Good sized long island with many places where you can be isolated.
Abundance of staff who were so helpful, friendly and conscientious. Having your own "assigned staff" contactable via Whatsapp was very helpful. Everything we needed was dealt with through our contact, Jovi.
Great variety in eateries although very expensive in USD and 26% taxes. In room food delivery for USD$8++ ended up being the most effective for us. We really enjoyed the live mellow music and 2 for 1 cocktails at the East Bar Happy Hour. Highly recommend the whisky based Yamayaki and fruity Ikebana cocktails.
We stayed in a Beach Pavilion for 3 nights (room 312) and Water Villa for 2 nights (room 431). We loved the Water Villa! It was so beautiful and well laid out. It was a dream to lie in bed and watch the sea through the huge glass panes. We were fortunate to not have much seaweed in the water around our villa and had uninterrupted sunset. Beds in both places were so comfortable and even though pillows collapsed, they were surprisingly supportive. It was quiet in both places despite having neighbours.
We went on the free snorkeling tour about 10min boat ride away and there was a good amount and variety of fish. We hoped to catch sight of manta rays around the sea plane pier ~7:30pm but no luck on the nights we were there.
Staff made my 50th birthday so special - birthday messages and flowers made of palm fronds, discount and upgrade offers, front table on the beach at Allegria for a delicious dinner (Tagliatelle Lobster recommended) with restaurant staff singing "Happy Birthday" and a delectable chocolate cake!!! So spoilt!
As we take things slow, 5 nights wasn't enough at this paradise!
Aside - faulty booking.com didn't upload Water Villa jpgs

The staff on this island definitely deserve a 10/10 rating. From the bus driver, captain of the boat, reception (especially Khushbu) housekeeping, restaurant waiters (especially Majeedh) chefs, spa therapists, pool attendants (Shamim) pool bar attendant - they are all amazing. They know how to ensure that guests have a memorable experience at Villa Park. Thank you for making our stay a very pleasant one.
Rooms are beautiful and spacious. Beds are comfortable, food is delicious. Various watersport activities. Truly an unforgettable holiday!

We had 5 relaxing days on the over water villa. We walked to breakfast and dinner, enjoyed the white sand beaches and did sunset yoga. We also did the manta ray quest and nurse shark tour.

Travellers who truly “get away from it all” trust resorts to provide the pinnacle of all-inclusive relaxation. Resort guests are invited to enjoy communal onsite amenities like pools, spas, restaurants, activities, excursions and shops, and stay the night in luxurious private rooms, villas or apartments.
It was like heaven from the very beginning. The staff was extra friendly and helpful, they've solved all the issues we had immediately. The food was various and plenty. The nature was heavenly and clean. I recommend taking all-inclusive option for best experience.
I can’t overstate this enough, this is an amazing property with five star service, if you are lucky enough to be able to book here you will understand that the owners come from the top resorts on the island to provide you with a beautiful and private affordable five star experience. There is nothing they won’t do to take care of you and make sure you are happy there. Thank you Vilu for everything and can’t wait to return!
Resort is beautiful. We were very pleased with the service. All employees are very kind and friendly. They gave us helpful information. I will especially mention: Ibrahim, who welcomed us, Rachel and Zakir from the restaurant, Zeina from coffee shop, barbecue chef...Also everything was very clean. Food is tasty, and they have a variety of dishes. There are a lot of activities that you can enjoy on the island.
A wonderful entry-level resort.
The island is incredibly beautiful and quite large by Maldivian standards. They pay great attention to cleanliness and maintenance. The renovated villas are nicely done.
A great choice if you know that you are not expecting a top-notch luxury resort.
We had an amazing time here. We knew Koimala was not a resort holiday and it exceeded our expectations. We thought Koimala was very well organised. Every meal was delicious, the beds were comfortable, the excursions well organised and unforgettable. We saw so much in the sea during the snorkelling trips. We went for walks and cycles around the island and felt safe.
Special thank you to Rippon for looking after us!
We hope to return one day.
The resort is beautiful, we stayed in a Beach Villa with a pool and it was absolutely dreamy. The facilities in the room are top notch and the resort is very clean and well kept.
The resort was great. All employees are cultured and always smiling. They always keep it clean even twice a day from our personal experience. The food was excellent and the natural beauty cannot be described, it can only be experienced, Paradise.
Beautiful resort, delicious food and friendly staff is all I can say about Villa Park at Sun Island. Eliza was our lead and she was always available and very helpful. Special thank you to the kitchen staff who served us with delicious food.
We were for second time in the resort and in the same type of villa.
The facility was the same, there was a broad variety of tasty and sufficient in quantity food.
There was additional items added into 'All inclusive’ package.
