Exceptional last-minute booking turned into one of my best decisions ever! Saud efficiently organized the seaplane, aligning with my schedule. Arrival was greeted with a refreshing drink, timely check-in, and assistance to my room. Opted for half board with a superior vista room featuring an outdoor shower, spacious balcony, and king-size bed. Thanks to being an Expedia gold member, the day after my birthday, a water villa upgrade became available, transforming my Maldivian experience. The villa was magical, with ocean waves lulling me to sleep and stunning sunrise views. For my birthday, a Stars and Sands dinner on the beach was breathtaking, with impeccable service from Rafiq and a surprise birthday cake. A spa massage with a good birthday discount was blissful. Taking advantage of the February wine discount, Rafiq delivered a bottle to my room. Dining experiences varied, with delicious options at both the buffet and Hiya restaurant. While Hiya lunches were pricey, the bar offered more affordable alternatives. Breakfast at Hiya, especially Rabeel's omelettes, was a highlight. Rafiq's exceptional service and Adi's friendly demeanor at the bars added to the experience. The pristine beach with designated sun loungers and clear turquoise ocean was perfect for snorkeling. Although the souvenir shop was pricey, the overall experience was paradise on earth. Summer Maldives provided a memorable trip I'm still talking about weeks later!

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.

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.

Summer Island - a splendid experience
We visited Maldives for the first time in November 2023. Even before the actual visit, the staff were so helpful and efficient in clarifying questions we raised and in assisting us with the transfers to and from Summer Island. We booked an over water villa - we asked for a sunset side. They couldn't guarantee it, but we were assured that they noted or request. We were given 510. The room was perfect. It was exactly as described and exceeded expectations. The surroundings are spectacular, but the villa adds to and complements the beautiful setting. We are vegetarians and we were not sure what to expect in terms of vegetarian Chinese of food. We stayed in a half board basis. There was a decent choice of vegetation food - it was tasty and varied. The presentation was of a high quality. The chefs and the food and beverage staff were so attentive and courteous that it made every bit of the stay memorable. We took the boat for snorkeling trips and we snorkelled in the house reefs. Words cannot capture the beauty of the area. Walks on the beach, watching the sunrise on the beach and sunset from the villa will stay in our memories forever. Thank to Summer Island for adding to the memorable experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful island. We stayed in a premium beach villa and it was serviced by the amazing Aboo! Can’t thank him enough. The food at Hiya restaurant was varied, plentiful, fresh and tasty. The waiting staff here were efficient and friendly. Staff at reception did all they could to help with any queries too. The negatives would be the tiny shop with very few options and way over priced. I got mosquito bites and was unable to buy just an ointment. Instead had to see the Dr ($25 consultation fee…..was with him less than 2 minutes) and charged $10 for ointment. My advice, be prepared and bring your own! But overall this did not tarnish my opinion of the place. It’s stunning and the staff are lovely. Well done Summer Island!

Nice and relaxing
Amazing customer service. The employees were friendly & helpful. The island is small and you can walk all around in less than 30 minutes. My beach villa was a 1st floor facing east and after going around the island several times and checking the all the beaches I would say that, hands down, east facing is the best location. Even better than the over-water bungalows, which by the way don’t look as nice as bungalows from other resorts. About my villa, it was very spacious & comfortable; only a few steps from the beach. This was the highlight of my stay! The not so good, the food is below average. It’s buffet style & each day I struggled finding something I really loved. Having been to other resorts with buffet style dining I must say this was disappointing. They had other dining options for a fee, but from what I heard from another guest-utterly overpriced for the kind of meal. They were charging $75 USD per person for a BBQ dinner & apparently they were offering chicken legs/thighs! I was at the lobby when a guest was furious about the money he spent on 3 dinners due to the dissatisfaction of the BBQ offering. If you like snorkeling and can do so, bring your own equipment. They rent them but, again, expensive. The resort offers 2 free snorkeling trips a day & it was a really nice activity. They also offer diving & snorkeling trips for a fee. Overall I enjoyed my time at Summer Island Resort but if I come back to Maldives I’ll probably try a different resort.

Exceptional resort and wonderful holiday
This was our second time at Summer Island, and it was just as enjoyable and memorable as the first. The resort is exceptional, and we have visited other resorts in the Maldives to compare. The staff are so friendly and the food is delicious. We have recommended the resort to people we have met in the Maldives and a coupe we know visited weeks before us, based on our recommendation. Love Nevi bar and the waters around the jetty and water villas. Has a great gym, two restaurants and well stocked gift shop. The highlight of our holiday was being recognised by many staff as returner guests, and making new friends with guests. Saeed at the restaurant was just as humble and polite as the first visit. 45 minute speedboat from the airport, close enough to not let the transfer take precious hours away from the trip, but far enough to feel isolated from the capital. Again, loved the resort and likely to go again!

Wonderful resort
What a beautiful hotel and a beautiful island. The resort was well organised. All of the chalets are next to the beach. The room was clean, comfortable and very chic. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Overall I would strongly recommend. If I were to recommend improvements, they would be limited to the following: (1) the hotel was not very helpful with arranging a transfer to the island - only offering to arrange a boat to the airport - which did not help as we were on a different island. Luckily the other hotel was more helpful in this regard so we arranged a private transfer. (2) whilst I understand that a half board hotel wants to avoid customers taking extra food from the canteen so that they will still need to order lunch, this can be a little strict/excessive. On one day, when I took a mini banana from breakfast to eat on the way back to the room, the staff tried to stop me from doing so. But these are relatively minor points - overall I would strongly recommend the resort.

We got Engaged aswell!
We Spent 9 days in Summer Island and loved every minute. If you get the opportunity. Drop everything and just go. We arrived to Summer Island via Sea plane ( this was a surprise birthday present), we were delayed 2-3 hours after this it was a fantastic experience. Greeted by welcome staff at the jeti. We stayed in the sea view villa. It was perfect. It had UK plug sockets, plenty of drinking water, a kettle (might be worth bringin your own coffee). We dinned in Samuga restaurant everyday for the half board which included breakfast and dinner buffet style, shout out to Ali for the amazing service by our waiter, he really goes above and beyond. One day we say him picking flowers to make up a birthday arrangement for one of the guests. In between meals we ordered room service and used the nevi bar snack menu ( would reccomment the Nachos) Everyday snorkling is included once per day, reccommend the morning one as much easier, we saw sharks, sea turtles,clams and lots and lots of tropical fish and coral. Would reccommend bringing a snorkle mask and fins with you. Would reccomend paddle boarding, BBQ on the beach, romantic dinner under the stars and lots of cocktails. Enjoy :)

Unwind in paradise
Very well maintained and run resort. It is on a small private island and makes a great place to unwind from a hectic world. I upgraded to the all inclusive as it includes the lunch and bar drinks. Definitely makes it a worry free experience. Resort handled the COVID testing and everything was delivered as required. Definitely will comeback.

Good but could be better
The stay was amazing and we enjoyed every single night. My advise for the people coming to this place is to get water villar or Beach Villa otherwise doesn’t worth coming since the other accommodations are not very comfortable since a lot of bugs and away from the Beach The receptionist are extremely busy so you need to wait to get a response. There’s dedicated resturant specially for water villa which is good I took romantic dinner package the set is acceptable but the food menu was so small good we had dinner include in our package otherwise we will be hungry so i hope they increase the portions I requested if i can change the dinner to linch but they didnt agree although i was paying above 150 usd for this dinner but i was really disappointed as some hotel half board means either lunch or dinner For the billing, i prefer if they can make a way to avoid any mistake as you dont have have to pay for anything only give your room number which is easily People could give wrong room number and you will be charged at check out! I took photographer and it was amazing! Recommended

Friendly, relaxed and spacious
Beautiful Island, very chilled, lots of space, i frequently had a section of beach all to myself. I stayed in an over water villa which gave me access to both restaurant, staff were very friendly. AVI bar at night time attracts fish and sharks while you relax with a drink. There is a daily free snorkeling trip, highly recommend and there is a man made reef off the pier which is full of fish and mantarays. Walkways are mostly sand tracks so no need for fancy footwear. Winds were very strong which made the current around the water villas very strong, was better on the sunrise side.

Excellent for a shorter stay. The staff are very friendly. Only downsides are the island is very small with limited activities and you can’t travel to other islands due to covid. Some of the food was decent but much of it had too little flavor or way too much of a flavor that wasn’t good. Also most of the meat dishes were over cooked to the point where they were almost jerky.

Summer Island was a dream getaway. I stayed in a water villa for the duration and the room was spacious, clean, and had brilliant views over the ocean. The hotel itself is spread out across the island, so it feels more “natural” than a three story hotel complex being plonked in the middle. The food each day was fabulous, as too were all the catering staff. Very friendly, welcoming and attentive. The same can be said for ALL staff at the resort. The island itself is easily walkable, surrounded with pristine beach and ample number of chairs and swings to lounge in. All in all, a high recommendation!

Good beach, clean property, close to airport, food variety can be improved, dive center needs to improve its service. No house reef. Recommended hotel if you are on a budget, it is good value for the money.
