Reviews
You have that fantastic Maldivian blazing sunshine, and the clear, turquoise water in a location close to Male with a very different vibe. The staff, food, quality of accommodation and facilities are very high standard. The hotel not trying to compete with the other Hilton properties in the Maldives - it’s a much lower price point allowing it to effectively compete on price with the bigger tourist resorts, whilst offering more bang for your buck. If you get the chance to visit whilst prices are still so low then just do it - before long We think Saii will be one of the most popular islands in the Maldives
