Probably as far in advance as we were going to the Maldives, I have never been going. A ton of material has been studied. Members of the forum have been polled.

In December 2015, we bought Aeroflot tickets for August 2016, then the trip was postponed to November.

Type of holiday: Honeymoon from 2.11 to 10.11. 2016
Meals: breakfast only
Villa: 219
The hotel was purchased with a flight

Unfortunately, a regular and direct flight did not save us from a delay, having already loaded the plane into the floor, the result was a board replacement and a 3-hour wait.

Upon arrival in Male, we were met by a local with a sign The Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, escorted to registration for a seaplane. There we checked in our luggage and took the bus to a separate waiting area of ​ ​ the hotel. (5min from the airport). After 40 minutes we were put on a seaplane, fly 50 minutes, made 1 stop.


Upon arrival in Ira, a butler meets him, takes him to the villa on a golf cart, we had a regular one booked, we were upgraded to a villa with a gazebo on the beach, a trifle but nice.
The room is decorated, champagne and fruit.
They take a deposit of $2000 for 7 nights.
The villa is a separate ode to praise: a huge area, everything is thought out, not new but clean. The outdoor bathroom is pure bliss. Everything is beautiful, the cleaning is of high quality, there are adapters and mosquito repellents.
This place is noisy, as planes land, I would advise villas on the other side of the island. BUT! There is a very good entrance to the sea and less people. Literally a day later, the planes stopped straining.
The island itself is very green, all the paths are illuminated, in the evening there is where to take a walk. In the evenings, near the reception in the bar, animation is something like live music, then some kind of dancing. For children there are many entertainments: kids club, tennis, billiards, archery, water activities.

It was a little annoying that Butler somehow disappeared, there was no special participation at all, they went to the reception to ask something.
After 3 days, the butler was changed to us, there was a great guy who came a couple of times a day to find out how things were going, what was needed, and reported everything. once they turned to Selma to ask for details.
The breakfasts are sufficient, everything is there, not the Dominican Republic of course, but men will also find something to eat. Smoothies, fruits, pastries in a huge assortment.
Restaurants must be booked 1-2 days in advance, as the most popular Trio and Grill are full.
The average dinner we had was $150-200, the most expensive was $400. It was lobster day, but we don't drink much, a glass of wine. The seafood cuisine is excellent, but everything else is somehow mediocre, I would like it to be more decent for the money. The choice is small, each restaurant has a menu of a couple of pages. (Remarque, we love to eat delicious food, so we are spoiled by Moscow restaurants, so a little disappointment)

In the afternoon we went to the pool, ate fruit, pizza, drank cocktails. Lunch on average $50-60.

We did not go on excursions, we enjoyed the sun and each other.
We swam a lot, and generally just rested.

This is one of those places that matches 200% the presentation and pictures!
