Samokatus Hotels

A restored waterfront resort on Büyükada combining a 19th‑century mansion with modern suites, Princes’ Palace Resort is praised for attentive staff, an excellent spa (notably the Turkish hammam), coastal views and refined dining. Reviewers repeatedly mention named staff who went above and beyond, while a few note slower service during large events.

Set on Maamutaa Island, Pullman Maldives Resort offers a premium all-inclusive experience with luxurious beach and overwater villas, all featuring private pools. Guests rave about the vibrant marine life—including turtles and sharks visible directly from the rooms—and the exceptional dining options across three distinct restaurants. The attentive service and acclaimed spa treatments make it a standout destination in the Gaafu Alif Atoll.
