Olhuveli Beach & SPA Resort 4 * is the only hotel on the whole island of the same name Oluveli. Therefore, it’s difficult to call it even a hotel. Rather, it is a resort complex, stretching over 800 meters in length. Incidentally, it has a pretty good location, because it takes only 45 minutes to go to Male International Airport from here by boat. This is the first fact about this complex that deserves attention. But everything else is worth telling in more detail.
Spa Salon
The name of the hotel clearly indicates its availability. The local spa is a real paradise for people who value personal care most. Here are some features worth noting first:
- Ayurvedic treatments are practiced at the spa.
- There is a beauty salon where you can do anything from a hardware pedicure to a haircut.
- There are medical pavilions in which sessions aimed at improving health are held.
- There are treatment rooms for couples and spa services for two.
- There is a Russian bath, a jacuzzi, a sauna, hydrotherapy pools, a rain shower, open flower baths.
- The following types of massage are offered: Swedish, Hawaiian (Lomi-Lomi), Balinese, Shiatsu, aromatherapy, Thai, as well as hot stones.
- You can try original scrubs based on coffee beans, seaweed and coconut.
And this is not even half of what is available in the Welness-center of the Olhuveli Beach & SPA Resort 4 * hotel. However, everyone will be able to familiarize themselves with the full spa menu individually.

They can not be noted attention. The restaurants on the territory of Olhuveli Beach & SPA Resort 4 * five:
1. Sunset Restaurant. The main institution. Open daily for breakfast and dinner. The main specialization is local and international cuisine. The signature dish is juicy king prawns with spices in wine sauce.

4. Island Pizza. This restaurant, the highlight of which is a huge selection of pizzas, is located next to the pool. But he does not specialize in Italian cuisine. On the contrary, here you can try Mediterranean, Western, Asian and sea delicacies. Or even order fast food - something like a sandwich or a hamburger. All in all, the perfect restaurant for a bite to eat. Open from 11:30 to 18:00.
5. The Plankton Grill. Fish restaurant with open kitchen. Seafood lovers will appreciate it, because there is everything here - from sea bass and crabs, ending with lobsters and lobsters. Open from 19:00 to 22:00.
Well, the food at Olhuveli Beach & SPA Resort 4 * is at the highest level - this conclusion can only be drawn from the description. By the way, the last restaurant of the listed ones has an evening dress code, and a preliminary reservation is also required.

- Lagoon Bar. A place with the most relaxing atmosphere. Instead of tables - wide comfortable swing on the pier. The bar, by the way, works all night and until the morning.
I would also like to note that at Olhuveli Beach & SPA Resort 4 * (Maldives), by individual order, they can arrange a romantic dinner for two in a secluded open-air setting. To organize such an event, you need to contact the administration.

Deluxe Apartment
Now you can proceed to the description of rooms Olhuveli Beach & SPA Resort 4 *. The most inexpensive option is a deluxe area of 50 square meters. m, designed for two adult guests. Located near the beach.
Deluxe is a room with a balcony with amazing views of the ocean. Inside there is a huge 2-double bed, there is a CD / DVD player, a plasma TV, a telephone for intercom, a safe, a working and living area, a fan and a climate system, a dressing room, a minibar, Wi-Fi, an electric kettle and even ironing accessories. Naturally, a bathroom with a shower, as well as a toilet in the room are also available.
What about the cost? Many people decide to immediately buy a tour to the Maldives for two - the price in this case is indicated immediately taking into account accommodation, flight, transfer, etc. But in this case it will not be possible to find out how much it costs just to stay. Well, it's worth fixing it. If you book yourself, then the deluxe will cost about 10-12 thousand rubles per day (with breakfast). Want to order all inclusive right away ? Then the daily price will increase to 30,000 p.
Grand Beach Villa
This is a more expensive option. The villa has an area of 55 square meters. m, located on the beach, like deluxe. Of the features - the presence of a separate living room and higher ceilings. The photo above, by the way, shows part of the villa.
It is designed to accommodate four adults, although you can move in any quantity. But the more - the more profitable. The cost of a daily stay including all inclusive for four will be about 60-65 thousand rubles.
By the way, one important nuance should be clarified. It is actually more profitable to immediately buy a tour to the Maldives for two. The price will be paid and no additional costs will be required. But if you plan your trip on your own and book apartments separately, you will still need to pay a tax of 23.2% (and this is almost ¼ of the amount extra!) And a state fee of $ 6 per person per day.
Other accommodation options
In addition to the listed apartments, there are several more categories. Here's what you should know about them, in short:
- Villa on the beach - 84 square meters. m. It is an apartment overlooking a private beach and lagoon. There is a private porch with sun loungers and a private courtyard with an open-air bath, rain shower and a gazebo. The daily price is 40-43 thousand rubles for two with the all-inclusive service.
- Villa "Deluxe" over the water - 63 square meters. It has a private sun terrace and a patio. The cost is the same.
- Water villa with Jacuzzi. 81 sq. m. Located over the ocean surface. The highlight of this villa is the presence of a jacuzzi on its own terrace, as well as a luxurious bathroom with a rain shower. The daily price is 43-47 thousand rubles for two with the all-inclusive service.
- Water Villa for Honeymooners - 122 Sq. m. Apartments over the ocean with luxurious furnishings of extra class, a huge wooden terrace, hidden from prying eyes, also with a jacuzzi. The price is approximately 50,000 rubles for two with the all-inclusive service.
As you can see, the “budget” option of all those listed are only deluxe rooms. And then only in comparison with the rest.
