Safari Island Resort & Spa Maldives is a resort in North Ari Atoll, set on its own resort island rather than on an inhabited local island. Like most Maldives resort islands, the island is given over to a single resort, so your room, the restaurants and the beach are all in one place.
Best for
Safari Island Resort & Spa Maldives suits travellers who want a self-contained island holiday, with the beach, meals and activities a short walk from the room, and who are happy to stay put once they arrive. The listed spa adds an option for slower days.
It suits less well travellers on a tight budget or anyone who wants to see everyday island life, because meals, drinks and excursions are bought from the resort, and leaving the island means a boat trip.

Trade-offs and what to know
Everything on the island is priced by the resort, so the meal plan and drinks make a large difference to the final cost. Transfers are part of the decision too: confirm how Safari Island Resort & Spa Maldives brings guests from the airport, how long it takes and whether it is included. Once you are on the island, outside excursions depend on the resort’s boat schedule.
Getting there and getting around
Resorts in North Ari Atoll are reached by seaplane, by a long speedboat ride or, for some islands, by a domestic flight to Maamigili followed by a boat. The resort arranges the transfer, and seaplanes fly only in daylight, so check the timing against your flights.

Before you book
Before booking Safari Island Resort & Spa Maldives, check which room category you are buying, the meal plan (bed and breakfast, half board, full board or all-inclusive), the transfer type, timing and price from the airport, and the cancellation terms. If you land late, ask whether the transfer can run on arrival or whether a night near the airport is needed first.
