About the island

Royal Island Resort & Spa is located on the northeastern edge of the northern Baa Atoll in the Maldives. In the winter of 2005, it was selected by a large number of visitors as Asia's Best Resort. It is also praised as: Asia's most beautiful peach blossom spring. This is a leisure vacation spot that allows tourists to completely relax body and mind. Royal Island not only has very good hardware facilities, but has also put great effort into various services; projects such as SPA make people unable to forget them after enjoying them. In addition, the romantic and highly stylish candlelight dinner specially prepared by Royal Island for newlyweds will become the most unforgettable scene of a honeymoon journey.

Why stay here

Royal Island is famous abroad and is the first choice for vacations of world celebrities, leaders, and tycoons. Even the Russian president could not resist its charm. There are very, very few Chinese people on Royal Island, so there are also few guides and introductions about this island online. If you want to experience the bearing of Royal Island, you can choose to travel there and feel it.

Highlights

Good snorkeling, and the beach is also very good, like milk powder. The guest room furniture on the island is all finely made from Indonesian mahogany, full of royal dignity and style. Besides its noble atmosphere and very good service, another point about Royal Island, not sure whether this is an advantage or disadvantage, is that there are few Chinese people; everyone goes for honeymoons, so if the couple says something a bit loudly, no one can understand it, or perhaps this can be seen as a manifestation of very good privacy.

Before you go

The island only has beach villas, no water villas.
