DESCRIPTION
Holiday Island is a tropical paradise surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches. The resort offers guests a relaxed atmosphere and is aimed at couples. The main facilities and buildings are set in lush tropical vegetation at the heart of the island. Although relaxed, there are plenty of sporting activities and restaurants to keep you entertained.
Holiday island is famous for its white sandy beaches and the beautiful lagoon around it. Although amongst the finest resorts in Maldives, this is not a resort for those searching for that quiet, natural Maldivian style (the vast, almost sterile reception building will tell you this straightaway), but for action, fun, facilities and excellent service this resort is hard to beat. This is equally true to its sister resort fun island and to a lesser extent, Paradise Island - A Happening Island!
