I don't understand the people who give less than 4-star reviews to this holiday destination. They must be nitpickers who expect to have the conditions from One and Only Reethi Rah (the neighbouring island) at the prices from the Summer Island. Come on, you could stay there only one hour with the money you paid for two weeks at the Summer Island. All is more than reasonable at the Summer Island, I mean the location, the meals, the staff, snorkelling and diving opportunities.

The team at Summer Island were absolutely wonderful, doing everything with a smile. This is the place for ultimate relaxation (enough activities for you not to be bored if that’s your preference or sit and stare at the beauty of the property). We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and didn’t want to leave!

My perfect stay, year after year!

Summer island is my little piece of paradise. It was my third time there and I hope I can go back many more time! Everyone seems genuinely happy to see you there and to provide their best. From reception to restaurants and the transfer boat! Reception at the airport. The team is perfect! The island is fabulous!

Best place I have been to, the staff are amazing and super friendly. I especially enjoyed the service and quality of food at HIYA a la carte restaurant...a 4 course meal for lunch and dinner. The staff were just so attentive. We had an evening flight home but enjoyed a late check out until 3.30 and then the speedboat departed at 4.30. Thank you Summer Island for such a special holiday.

Simply A M A Z I N G. Everything during our 6 days stay has been perfect, everyone in the staff is kind, nice and polite, 24h/24 reception, free snorkeling every day, amazing sunsets drinking a cocktail sitting at the bar in the beach, watervillas with a beautiful view. We were a little bit afraid for the weather since it's not the best time of the year to go (we went in August) and we had only 5min of rain in 6 days. It's so hard to leave!! Thank you so much Summer Island Maldives, you made our holiday unforgettable, looking forward to come back again!

Fantastic holiday on a beautiful Maldives Island: Summer Island offered us the best blend of affordability and Maldives luxury. Our Superior beach room was a downstairs apartment with guests staying in similar above us, but other then the occasional furniture moving on the floors tiles we did not hear them. The food was great with plenty of choice and volume. Great cocktails available at the bar. The rooms had the most comfortable sun loungers we have ever used, and fresh beach towels every day. The speedboat ride to and from the airport was on time and very comfortable, taking 45 mins each way. Oh and flying Emirates you know the excellent standard you will receive. All round this was an excellent holiday and at an amazing price through Expedia.

Nice hotel, especially very friendly staff and good service. We had a water villa and the room was great. However was not as exceptional as we thought based on their website. E.g. the hotel could make the restaurants and bar more cozy, some areas of the beach were full of little stones and simply didn’t look like you imagine a beach in the Maldives, sun chair covers were a bit dirty, etc. No house reef directly reachable, only via boat. Prices were very high, a small pack of cookies 8$ and rent of snorkeling equipment for a day 15$.

Summer Island is a really well-run, friendly, and accommodating resort. It’s mostly a relaxing/luxury environment but had all the water sports and diving that you would look for plus ping pong, badminton, volley ball and a gym. Everything was well-explained. The island is thoughtfully designed to provide many different beach aspects as you go around; much is made of the sunset side being better but I wouldn’t worry as all rooms have interesting views/aspects and you can move around the beach no problem anyway. Guests seem split between couples celebrating (all ages), couples on breaks, and a few parent/child couples and a few young families. We were full board in the Hiya restaurant and the food, ambience and service was genuinely excellent. We also did a yoga class at sunset and the spa seemed relaxing and good; the location is stunning at sunset. All in all this was a very relaxing and reliable experience, having us asking “if we return to the Maldives, would we risk anywhere else?” as it was exactly the luxury relaxing break we were after.

I had the BEST time at the Summer Island Maldives. Everything was seamless from transfers to food. Absolutely perfect for solo travellers like myself. I had a Superior Bungalow which was unreal and I was fortunate enough to get upgraded to a water bungalow which was a great experience! All staff were amazing and work so hard to keep the island looking pristine. Food was great, I was half board and enjoyed every meal. Prices at the bar was reasonable too for lunch. Only small feedback is for the shop to have more snacks but everything else was PERFECT!!
