I had the pleasure of staying at Lagoon Lodge for the duration of my university work placement, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and at home. They went above and beyond to accommodate our group of 18, remembering each of our names from day one and always greeting us with a warm smile. The location of the lodge is ideal, within walking distance or a short bike ride to everything you could need in the area. Whether we were exploring or just grabbing a bite, everything was conveniently close, which made it super easy to get around. One of the highlights of my stay was the incredible food. Breakfast and dinner were served daily, and every meal was a treat. The variety and quality of the food were outstanding, and there was always something to satisfy every taste. I especially enjoyed the cooking class where we learned how to make traditional Maldivian dishes. It was such a unique experience to not only taste the local flavors but also to be able to recreate them myself! The staff truly made our stay exceptional. They were attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a memorable time. Their hospitality made the experience even more special, and it felt like they were part of our extended family by the end of our time there. I highly recommend Lagoon Lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing and culturally rich stay in the Maldives. Whether you're there for a work placement, a vacation, or just to immerse yourself in the local culture, this place offers everything you need for an unforgettable stay

I had the absolute best four-week stay at Lagoon Lodge, and words hardly do justice to how unforgettable the experience was. From the very first day, Abdulla and the entire staff made us feel not just welcomed, but truly cared for. Their genuine warmth, kindness, and effort to make every moment special turned our stay into something far beyond a simple holiday. Every morning started with smiles, laughter, and Abdulla’s jokes echoing through the lodge, something I quickly came to look forward to. His energy and positivity were contagious, and no matter how my day was going, he always knew how to lift the mood. The staff as a whole were incredible; they went above and beyond in every small detail, making sure I was comfortable, happy, and enjoying every bit of island life. And the food… absolutely next-level. Every meal felt like it belonged in a Michelin-star restaurant. I still catch myself thinking about those dishes, and honestly, I would come back just for the food alone. Throughout those four weeks, I made memories I’ll never forget, late-night chats, peaceful views, spontaneous laughter, and moments that made me appreciate how special the place truly is. Lagoon Lodge felt like a second home, and the people there felt like family. And of course, I proudly walked away with the official title of loudest person at the lodge. Let it be known: no one will ever replace me! I’m more than happy to hold that title forever. Thank you, Lagoon Lodge, for giving me a stay filled with joy, connection, and endless laughs. I’ll carry these memories with me always, and I cannot wait for the day I return. Much love, Alyssa

Addu City has its own rhythm. Slower, softer, and deeply human. The owner and staff were incredibly polite, kind, and helpful. The room was spacious and very clean. Breakfast was amazing, one of the best I’ve had in the Maldives.

Lagoon Lodge is exceptional. The staff are the most friendly, hospitable, accomodating, and professional people I have ever met. Our needs were constantly met with above and beyond service. The chef was the highlight of each day with the exceptional food he would make for us. They all know our names and would greet us with warm welcomes and good mornings each day. I will miss the beautiful staff from Lagoon Lodge and cannot wait to visit again. The location is a 10min walk to the beach and a 5min walk to the local grocery store. Our room had water front views with beautiful sunrises each morning. Thank you for such an incredible stay!
