Among Maldives Island hotels, Maalifushi stands apart with its understated style, encapsulating the spirit of the Indian Ocean and the barefoot chic of a COMO private island resort.

It was first time we visited Maldives & it was nice to deal with Zeldiva Luxury team to plan our trip, they are very professional & giving clear information. We would like to thank Ellen who was very helpful & cooperative. Highly recommended
We had the best experience gassing off at the Sheraton Maldives for 3 nights and booking it was a swift all because of the excellent service by Zeldiva! NIA was very patient and accommodating of all my questions and several changes. She got us the best tailor made deal for our group of 11 pax. So much better than what I can get from agoda or booking. I can chat with her anytime and I am guaranteed a reply within the day. Sheraton charged us extra taxes that were already paid and Nia assisted in the refund of them. ELLEN met us at the airport during our arrival day, and also assisted us all throughout our early departure! It took the stress out of us because we didn’t have to figure out where to go or what was to do next. Nia and Ellen both made our trip worry free and therefore we enjoy the holiday a bit more! Thank you for your super excellent service! I totally recommend them for planning Maldives trip!
We had an incredible experience booking our Maldives trip through Zeldiva Luxury. Merissa, our concierge, was exceptional in every way. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay at Siyam World was unforgettable. Ellen, the airport representative, greeted us with warmth and efficiency. Thank you, Merissa, Ellen and Zeldiva, for making our Maldives vacation a dream come true! ?????
It was fantastic. Merissa from Zeldivia was really hungry not only for our business but fantastic in her service. She made the booking process so seamless and trustworthy as we didn’t know if making full payment was wise. However, what blew us away was the service from Ellen. On arrival, She personally picked us up and make sure we boarded the flight before saying bye. On departure, she queued with us till we received our boarding pass. We enjoyed your service and hospitality. Thank you Ellen.
It's our first trip to Maldives and we had a lovely time. I believe that for anyone to have a wonderful experience in Maldives, they need to plan their trip with a professional and experienced tour agency such as Zeldiva. I guess we were lucky to have dealt with Merissa from who was more helpful. Thank you Merissa for everything you have done for us.
