We had the the most incredible stay at You&Me Maldives – it was truly a slice of paradise! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the island, the crystal-clear waters, and the luxurious feel of the resort.
Our experience was made even more special thanks to Chopey, our resort representative, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. He was always friendly, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed, making our stay completely stress-free.
The overwater villa was stunning – spacious, beautifully designed, and offering breathtaking ocean views.
The snorkelling was incredible around the resort where we saw sharks, sting-rays and sea turtles!
The food was another highlight. Each meal was delicious, with plenty of variety to choose from. The underwater restaurant, H2O, was definelty a highlight of our trip. We would recommend the dinner seating slot.
Everything about You&Me Maldives exceeded our expectations – from the exceptional service to the serene, adults-only atmosphere. If you’re looking for a romantic and relaxing escape, this is the place to be.

The staff were warm and friendly and the beaches have breathtaking views. The villas are comfortable to stay in. The underwater restaurant in H2O was an unforgettable experience. The facilites are clean and well maintained. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
Perfect paradise !

Much trouble

We felt extremely well looked after from the minute we landed in Male until the minute we left Male. We were met at the airport and helped with our sea plane transfer to Y&M.
A fabulous resort. We were lucky enough to have Yasir as our island host & he looked after us extremely well. Made advance booking in the special restaurants & changed things around when we requested it.
We can honestly say without exception that the staff here at every level are an amazing, professional, polite and friendly team.
I wish I could remember everyone’s name!
Naa, Angel and Vlada we had contact with almost every day. Delightful people.
Also the man who took us to the H2O was exceptional and made our experience very special. He looked after us.
The food is outstanding. Special mention to the chef in the Rising Sun. Amazing food and we had a good laugh with him. Great sense of humour.
The lovely couple who play guitar and sing do an amazing job & have a huge repertoire.
Keep up the good work guys. We will definitely recommend you. 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰
Only complaint is the sea is too blue and the sand is too white 😂. Only joking!!

Exceptional! We recently had a holiday at You & Me Cacoon and can honestly say it was an incredible week. After a wonderful experience of flying in a seaplane we arrived to a very friendly welcome from the team and being introduced to our “host” by the name of Happy who ensured we had a full run down of all we needed to know and made us feel welcome and like family from the first interaction. We discovered Happy was still in training – so well done to Firas! Thanks to both of you for arranging our excursions and ensuring we had all the info we needed at all times and for the really fun beach party!
The food was nothing less than spectacularly delicious! Big thank you to Milan and Sumith for our Maldivian cooking experience – what a treat! And as for lunch at H2O – speechless. Alessandro, the food was delectable and the theatrics an absolute delight – never mind the magnificent show put on by the beautiful fish & sharks swimming past as we ate.
Our Waiter – Viaam - never have we had such careful attention paid to all our drinks and food requirements and all with the biggest smiles and interest in what we were to do or had done during the day. He would even seek us out if we were seated in a different sitting area to check in on us, if Viaam was not assigned to our table Hari stepped in and took great care of us too. Vlada was just delightful every morning serving us delicious cappuccinos.
Our daughter gave us a challenge to “Drink the Rainbow” a cocktail each color of the rainbow – so a big shout out to the barmen, Chaminda and Ram who were fully on board and helped us reach the target – plus some!
So many staff made us feel extraordinarily special Angel, you were an Angel! Nana, Indika and so many others whose names escape me now.
The accommodation with spectacular views of the ocean was just perfect. Mohamed was incredible at keeping our villa super clean and well presented. The beautiful work of art displayed on our bed as a surprise for our anniversary was fantastic.
The entertainment evening Singers were very talented and gave a wonderful show each evening. As for Sarah – what fun!!
The watersports and excursion team were also so friendly and helpful – so excited to share sightings of turtles, manta’s & dolphin – thank you, the experiences were spectacular.
Yoga with Vinnay was such a peaceful, soulful and grounding experience & the spa therapists elevated our relaxation experience to another level.
The setting, colors of the water, the beautiful sun rises and sunsets – a truly magical time we had. Thank you.

My husband and I visited You & Me for our 10yr anniversary and his birthday celebrations and we were absolutely B.LO.W.N away!
The property on the whole was stunning! Extremely romantic in every way (a great place to propose!) The rooms were gorgeous and we had our own private villa with a pool - it was very quiet, secluded and peaceful.
If you like a relaxing holiday, this is heaven (adults only) and if you’re someone who likes an active holiday, there is plenty to do if you choose, from snorkelling to water sports to a dolphin watching and other excursions (at an extra charge). I am fairly active and thoroughly enjoyed the aqua aerobics and Zumba classes by the lovely Sarah in the pool everyday. Also enjoyed a peaceful meditation session with Vinay outdoors to the sound of the waves.
I had an accident on one of the days here (my fault entirely - I tend to be accident prone 😇) but the on-site clinic and doctor meant I was taken there, seen and treated all under 10mins! The next day the doctor came especially to check on me, which was so lovely!
But by far, the best thing about You & Me has been the staff. Never in all our lives of visiting lovely hotels on our travels have we ever experienced hospitality as truly special as we have here. The staff went above and beyond for us in every way. Our villa host, Chopey, was a total rockstar and attended to our every need, from making all of our bookings, reminding us of them all, to sending us a personalised itinerary and checking in with us daily to see if we were ok.
We also have a soft spot for our wonderful room attendant, Athy, who created the most amazing artwork on our bed a few times using flowers and towels and always greeted us with a smile.
And we are genuinely sad to be leaving behind our wonderful new friends - Pincher and Hari in The Sand restaurant. Service with a smile is one thing, service with your whole heart is another and we felt this with every interaction with these lovely lads. True assets to this establishment. Special shoutouts also to the lovely Viaam and Shinnu.
Overall, we could not recommend this property any more. It isn’t a budget holiday and is deffo more of a splurge, but incredibly worth it. My phone wallpaper is now a collage of pictures taken at You & Me Maldives as we are counting down the days until we can come back!

Most amazing 2 weeks holiday , can not fault anything
We stayed in a dolphin villa with pool, lovely and clean rooms they are cleaned twice a day a special mention to our room attendant Namooh, even gave my husband a little birthday gift for his birthday.
Firas Our host for the whole of the stay sorted all our meal booking etc - thank you.
The staff made the stay even better , they are always so cheerful , and even know your room number after a few days .
Food was amazing and the H20 underwater restaurant was out of this world.
Entertainment was good , we were lucky enough to be there for the 5th anniversary of it opening , what an amazing gala night and the gala Buffett was outstanding .
We had a nice surprise on our last night where they had organised a special table on our own in the wine cellar .
Thank you for a wonderful holiday and say a big thank you for all your amazing staff , I can’t remember all the names but
Angel
Namooh
Firas
And a big thank you to pincer for our special last meal .

An absolutely amazing place to stay with your significant other! We stayed at the water villa, which was extremely comfortable and spacious. We loved the shower overlooking the ocean. The island is peaceful, beautiful, and the staff is going the extra mile to make your stay comfortable and pleasant from the point your flight lands until you flight back to your country. Even though the resort was fully booked, it still felt like the resort is half full- exactly what we were looking for as we wanted to enjoy eachother on a peaceful and non-crowded island. We used all possible facilities and were extremely satisfied. The whole resort has a very romantic atmosphere and is adult only which was a huge plus. In the evening, there are always some events which we really enjoyed!
Our island host was Lahey and he was amazing! Whenever we had questions or needed to book an experience he was constantly available. Whenever we would meet him at the resort, he would be interested in our experience and about our stay. He is a true representation of what staff at such a resort should be like :) we have nothing just positive comments about him!
Lastly, we really enjoyed the way Hari and Angel acted toward us when they were our servers. They are professional and go the extra mile to make you comfortable and enjoy the romance. Btw- food was delicious wherever we ate. We also went snorkelling and explored tsunami island with a great guide! We believe his name was Samu, but we can’t recall exactly. He made the experience very fun and was kind enough to share the videos from snorkelling with mantas and turtles.
We thank you all and we cannot wait to get back soon! :)

Overall it was an amazing holiday, with a few drawbacks.
What we loved:
The service, the cleanliness of the bungalows and the resort, the food, the staff, the snorkeling and diving OUTSIDE the resort, the views, the seaplane transfers, the H2O restaurant experience and the fact that there are no mosquitoes (they spray).
What we didn’t like as much and why I give 4 stars instead of 5:
The fabric beach chairs. They didn’t dry from one user to another, so it felt like you were sitting in someone’s else remnants of wet swimsuits / bodily fluids.
The selection of mixed drinks with the All inclusive package was disappointing. I understand that AI extreme gets you top shelf liquor but we were hoping the regular AI would have more selection of drinks. Also bartending was inconsistent (drinks weren’t made the same way from one bartender to another). Wine and beer selection with regular AI was also disappointing.
We didn’t find any good snorkeling around the resort but maybe we didn’t try hard enough.
H2O was absolutely amazing and unique experience that I highly recommend BUT I was disappointed in 2 of the 5 courses coming from a 3 star Michelin restaurant. We went for lunch. The first 2 courses were outstanding ! The next 2 just average (pasta and fish). The dessert was good.

We had a lovely time at Y&M for 9 nights. It's a very nice, compact, resort with super friendly staff.
It's an adult-only resort with only 109 rooms which results in the resort being nice and quiet and never 'crowded'.
We stayed in a beach villa which I'd personally recommend as you have direct access to the beach.
Bear in mind, it is a sea-plane ride from Malé airport which does tend to up the cost a bit - but, for us, it was worth it.
As I've said, it seems that every member of staff goes out of their way to please but, just like lots of other guests, we had special service from the staff listed here:
Our 'Resort Host', Chopey, was only ever a WhatsApp message or call away and couldn't do enough to make our stay as perfect as possible. He even found another host, Lahey, to come and have a game of chess with me - great service.
Our Room Cleaner, Aahiz. What a lovely man and, again, couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was as perfect as possible. His 'art work', is quite fantastic (see some pics).
At La Pasta, we'd like to thank Yuni, and Ibbe, for looking after us, and Md Al Amin for cooking super pizzas.
At the Dive Centre, Maria's a great Scuba coach (esp. with me being a complete novice).
And finally, at Cheers bar, Ramesh, Alan, Chami, and Rusi, for providing our drinks before we'd even asked for them.
We plan to return...can't say more than that.

Absolutely fabulous week at You & Me, Uthurumaafaru!
I could not find a single fault, all of the restaurants are worth a try, the food was fabulous so fresh and served extremely well.
The sunset cruise to the island is an absolute must, it is so special.
We had a swim up room with a small pool, it was fabulous, sitting out in the mornings watching the little sharks and all the fish swim by, just beautiful.
We happened to be there for Valentines day, the whole resort was turned into the most beautiful valentine's setting, props on the beach, love hearts everywhere, great photo opportunities.
They have entertainment every night in the bar area, fashions shows, djs, karaoke, glow party, fantastic entertainment you can sit back and watch without having to be dragged to get involved, just brilliantly done.
The absolute icing on the cake is the staff, our guide for the week was Lahey he is brilliant, so polite, always smiling and nothing is a problem for him he organised the whole week for us. Nai the waiter in the main restaurant also deserves a special mention, he was so friendly, always went out of his way to make us feel looked after and just a generally nice person.
We will definitely be back again, a fabulous holiday.

In simple words-it is a paradise on Earth. I have never experienced more helpful stuff trully willing to make the stay as enjoyable and unforgettable as possible. We had to worry about nothing. Definitely try underwater restaurant-the food there is magnificent, so is the view with numerous sharks and mantas-together it makes that experience phenomenal. You want to relax on a hammock and enjoy sunbathing? No problem. Want to go for a sunset fishing trip or a motorboat trip to see dolphins and turltles? Must try. Candle light dinner on the whitest beach at sunset? Fabulous. The Island is very small-roughly 15min to go around but it is up to you if you want to spend your holiday in lazy or more active way. But TRY IT!

We came to You & Me for our honeymoon last month and had the most incredible time. It exceeded all our expectations. The resort is stunning, our overwater villa with pool was just amazing - we spent so much time there watching fish, sharks and rays swim past and snorkelling out to the rocks with the complimentary snorkel equipment. The food was fantastic, some of the best all inclusive food we’ve ever had. It was Valentine’s Day while we were out there and they made such an effort - every one was given a rose at dinner and there was a special valentines menu too. We had a floating breakfast delivered to our room one day which was amazing and a real pinch me moment. But the usual breakfast everyday was amazing too, the freshly made omelettes were my favourite. The staff were amazing, from the restaurants Sha, Angel, Wasana and Chris in particular were always so welcoming and helpful. The bar staff at Cheers were brilliant and the entertainment there was great too. In particular though, Chopey our villa host was just wonderful. He was on hand for any help we needed and was only ever a WhatsApp message away. He took care of our 2 weeks worth of plans and sent an itinerary which worked perfectly for us. He came to see us at breakfast or dinner at least every few days to make sure we were happy and to check if we needed anything, it was great to have someone so helpful dedicated to us specifically if needed anything, we will miss him!
H2O underwater restaurant was probably the highlight, the most incredible 7 course menu with amazing views out to sea, along with great service - the sommelier was great. The chef made some adjustments for my husband’s allergies and he was able to eat every course at fine dining level which he was so grateful for and not something he can usually experience at home. We’d recommend You & Me to anyone thinking of visiting the Maldives. We won’t ever forget our time there!

The quality of staff and food were excellent, al a carte service was very special. Our birthday treat to the underwater resteraunt H2O was incredible. Firas our guide was extremely helpful and organised, sorting out our fining experiences. Also special thanks to the medical officer at the resort who helped me out when I'd arrived from India with a chest infection. It didn't distract from a truly exquisite, restful and beautiful resort. Also the local reefs for snorkeling we saw amazing fish, turtles and rays.

The You and Me resort in the Maldives was incredible! We had an amazing time celebrating our 25th anniversary there. The villa over the water with the infinity pool was incredible and was an experience on its own with the beautiful views and the sunsets. The reef right on the property made for great snorkeling and the variety and amount of fish to be seen was stunning.
The food across the whole resort was great and the staff there were extremely friendly and helpful at all times. Our Island Host, Yasir did a great job making sure our needs were met and that we were well taken care of. I could try to name all the staff that made our stay a pleasure but it would be too big a list.
A few last musts if you go, dinner at H2O, it is a bit pricey but it’s an experience you won’t regret, the snorkeling excursion to the Aquarium reef, Sea Turtle reef and to see Manta’s is another list topper.
We had a great time and would love to be able return one day.

The Island was Paradise on Earth in our opinion. It was spectacular, the service was excellent in every way, and the food was delicious.
We experienced a kindness and helpfulness from every employee, and our villa was cleaned twice a day. We also got our own Ireland host, when we arrived to the Island, and Firas (his name) informed us about everything via WhatsApp and made reservations, whenever we wanted to try something new.
We had the pleasure of being served by a waiter and a female waiter by name Viaam and Angel, and their service level were excellent. They told us many things about the Maldives, which gave us a further understanding of their local traditions and way of living.
Thank you for giving us the most wonderful and memorable vacation - we will definitely come back some day.
Best regards,
Lene and Jesper from Denmark

However, the You&me was absolutely deserve to invest those amount of time.
Of course the environment was amzing, and every employer helped us to gave unforgettable memory with kindly and friendly treatment.
In addition, the food of all restaurants were highly satisfied. And the various activities are also included.
We thought that the 5 days could be enough, but at the end of day, we regret that we didn't stay more days.
If you want to have a wonderful vacation, I strongly recommand here.

We loved our stay in one of the aqua suites with pool. From the moment we arrived in Male we were so well taken care of, greeted at arrivals and taken to the seaplane lounge, which was large and comfortable, with free drinks and nibbles. We had a two hour wait here, but it was very restful after the long flight and a chance to watch the seaplanes.
Our suite was at the far end (south) away from the Cheers Bar. The currents outside could get a bit strong, but generally you can tell by looking at the sea what it was up to, always go out in your flippers that you can get for free from the hotel. Low tide was best for no currents. The artificial reef was a bit disappointing, but the corals to the south of it (in front of our villa) were teaming with life, but I have nothing to compare it to as this was my first Maldives trip.
The staff here are the friendliest and happiest I have ever seen in any hotel, at any star rating I’ve ever been to. Couldn’t do enough for us. I’m not naming anyone in particular as they all deserve a shout out. I’ve read reviews about if you don’t tip, they aren’t helpful, but that was not our experience at all. I didn’t hear a single complaint from any other guests either.
Bed was so comfy and massive, lovely shower and bath. Aircon was great and the fan was an additional cooling aid. Fantastic views over the ocean, a variety of wildlife just at the bottom of our stairs, daily shark and ray visits were a highlight.
We loved the food here; the Italian ownership comes through in the food and we were more than happy (except for the soups). Sands restaurant was the main one and was a mix of a la carte and buffet, lunch was a la carte. I miss the breakfasts now I am home. I miss all the food to be honest.
As we had our own pool, we never used the main one, but at lunch time I could see free loungers. No music blasting around the pool which was pleasant. The only music is at meal times in the restaurants and for the entertainment (10pm-12am).
So quiet and relaxing, the butler does all the thinking for you, which is delightful. Rooms cleaned and turned down each day, with half free/ half pay-for mini bar.
Floating breakfast was great fun, husband didn’t want to do it but enjoyed it when it came. Just watch out for the crows.
We only did one trip, the See what you can see, which was brilliant. Although we didn’t see Manta Rays, the staff tried really hard for us. We saw lots of dolphins and turtles though (plus the aquarium of fishes on the reef).
We did the H2O under water restaurant, a thoroughly unique experience that was worth the money, but sadly the food was a bit lacking (apart from the dessert). Especially when compared to the food in the hotel restaurants. We were bought a romantic dine experience from a friend and it was so delicious and although a bit cheesy (sitting in a heart on the beach) it was so much fun and nice to have something a bit different.
For our departure we were met off the seaplane and again at the main terminal whilst we waited for our luggage. So we were taken care of for as long as they could.
If I was the kind of person who goes back to places I’ve been I would go back here.

As being the second time in Maldives we have seen the beauty of the country before, but this hotel resort surprised us positively by the stunning nature with a white dream beach, crystal blue water and palms. This boutique hotel is perfectly suited for couples who want to enjoy a dream vacation and spend quality time with each other. The rooms have so many lovely details and the view is amazing (see attached picture). There are 4 restaurants on the island where all inclusive guests may choose – except the famous H20 underwater restaurant all other restaurants may be visited within the all inclusive package at least once – very generous food plan compared to other hotels. Every room gets a personal island host (similar to a concierge service) – we experienced a truly excellent service by our host Yasir – he made sure we had an amazing experience, and everything is in very good order for us – he took care of everything! We noticed a (positive) big difference in the service level quality of the island host compared to our last 5* hotel resort in Maldives. Many thanks again for this amazing vacation week at your hotel!

We recently stayed at You and Me, Maldives.
It is an adult-only hotel, which, in addition to being an amazing place, has a very unique vibe. We loved it.
Compared to other resorts in Mauritius You and Me is a smaller type a resort, only 110 rooms. Very quickly you will start recognizing people at lunch, by the pool or on the beach.
An underwater restaurant was a unique experience and, though pricey, was well worth it.
Staff members were great, always attentive and happy to assist, which makes it a difficult task to appreciate some more than the others.
We would like to mention these members of the resort staff specifically:
Restaurant:
HARI and Wasana
Housekeeping:
Misbah
Guest Services:
Happy
They went above and beyond to make our trip a memorable experience.

The best first but not last vacation at the amazing Maldives

We had an amazing time at the You and Me Maldives. The destination was on our bucket list for a long time now and the experiences we had exceeded our expectations. Right after we arrived in Male we were escorted to the hotel's own lounge at the hydroplane airport where we were offered refreshments and we could wait to our flight in a convinient environment.
After a short flight with the hydroplane - which was an amazing experience itself with the breathtaking view - we arrived at the island and the welcome was absolutely beautiful.
We are incredibly grateful for our kind host, Chopey, who went above and beyond to make our stay even more enjoyable. He arranged all the activities we chose, booked restaurant reservations, and was always available to assist with any questions or requests we had. His support truly made a difference, as we never had to worry about a thing, we knew he had everything under control. He even sent us reminders before each event, which was a thoughtful touch.
Activities / Programs we tried during our stay:
- Dolphin Cruise - unfortunately we were not able to meet with any dolphins during the trip however the champagne and the sunset view made this boat trip wonderful even without dolphins.
- Scuba diving - All instructors at the diving center are extremely kind and helpful. Special thanks to Khalyd for introducing us to the world of diving. He was incredibly kind, patient and helpful and immediately made us fall in love with this sport.
- Snorkeling - We were at the Island hopping private trip and visited three different reefs at the area and dived into the water. For those who like snorkeling, this is a must-do program, we highly recommend. The diversity of ocean life in the area is breathtaking.
- Lunch at the H2O restaurant - Amazing view and delicious menu created by a Michelin star chef. It is an extraordinary place, it is definitely worth visiting because of the uniqueness of the place, plus the food is also very delicious.
We stayed in a Dophin Villa with Pool, which was a perfect choice. The Villa was beautiful, our favourite spot was the terrace and the pool where we had a breathtaking ocean view, and where we enjoyed stunning sunsets every evening.
Everyone at You and Me Maldives were exceptionally friendly, kind and helpful and made our vacation special. It was truly a memorable week, and we can't wait to return!

From the moment we landed in make we were taken care of by the resort and escorted to a lounge to wait for the sea plane transfer. One on the island , which is beautiful, Shana took care of our every need. She booked all our restaurants and trips and sent a reminder each day so we knew what he had planned. Our villa was spotless and overlooked the lagoon. Every single member of staff went out of their way to make you feel special and make sure you were happy. The food was consistently the best we have had at any hotel ever! The chef even came and saw us and said if we got bored with the choices he would cook us something different to order! We didn’t as everything was just perfect.
The house entertainment was ok, the duo on each night were good but it did get a bit loud in the evening, to the point where you couldn’t hold a conversation. This is the only negative point I could say, just our personal opinion though as others seem to love the loud party atmosphere.

Most magical place that we have ever been to!
From the moment we walked through the doors at Male airport were greeted by the excellent You and Me staff and transported by sea plane to the most beautiful island I have ever been too.
We were greeted by our personal island host, Gul, who was amazing, kind and could not be more helpful in making our holiday memorable and making sure we had everything and did everything that we needed or wanted to do.
We booked a dolphin villa with pool, which was simply breathtaking and the view brought tears to my eyes when I first walked in.
The sunsets were incredible and having the access to the sea to snorkel at anytime was amazing.
Our room attendant Sherri, made sure that our room was always sparkling clean, fresh sheets and towels, plenty of water and lovely surprises for us to come back to.
The beach was super soft white sand and crystal clear water.
We got to see so many fish, turtles, small sharks and rays from our pool and from the beach and bridge, snorklng was fantastic.
We went to the spa on several visits and the highlight was having a massage while watching the fish through the glass floor area.
Highly recommended the spa!
The foods were incredible with such a choice, breakfast was my favourite!
The Italian and rising sun restaurants were lovely with a great menu, however we preferred the main restaurants sands, I think that it had to to do with their incredible, hard working, efficient, caring and kind staff.
Our main waiters were Harry and Angel, they were just amazing and great at what they do.
I never had to ask for a drink as it was always there and as my hubby is a fussy eater they made sure he always had something he loved.
Other staff members that made this an incredible holiday were, please excuse if I spelt wrong or left anyone out, they were all amazing!
Yearn, Sony, Mandy, Naa, Na an, Chumsy (bar)
All the staff were amazing!
The evening entertainment was great and you could be as involved as you like or sit back and watch it happen.
We did the extras, movie on beach, dinner on beach, floating breakfast and it was all worth it.
The highlight of my trip were the excursions.
All I can say is WOW! Our guide Ratu, who I can I only describe as a kind and humble soul who is very passionate about his culture and his surroundings, was extensively knowledgeable in where to go to see all the wildlife and also educate us. We saw manta rays, dolphins, sharks, turtles, marlin, flying fish, loads of different type of fish! These excursions were the best I have ever been on and that is a big part due to Ratu and his crew.
I know I have used the word amazing several times, because that is what it is was.
It’s the hard working people that working people that work there and just the natural beauty of this place, which for me, made it heaven on earth! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to visit again!

The island is beautiful, the water villa was amazing, the food was also excellent and the staff couldn’t do anything more for us. We spent 10 nights here and can honestly say it was amazing. Even though it was full occupancy it still felt very personal and the beaches were nearly always empty or quiet. The most I waited for a table at either breakfast, lunch or dinner was 30 seconds. The underwater restaurant was expensive but again amazing and would do again. Once again, the staff were incredible always happy and their service was incredible. Slightly on the downside was sun loungers.If you had a late breakfast and wanted to lay on the beach you would sometimes find it hard to find one spare.
Snorkelling trip was incredible and would highly recommend. We saw turtles, manta rays, sting rays and dolphins. The guides were brilliant.
A big thankyou to Manoj, Hari and Firas for making this vacation amazing.

This was a once in a lifetime trip that had been on my bucket list over 20 years. You and Me did not disappoint! Food far exceeded expectations as I don’t like seafood and was concerned about my options. I never went hungry. The food presentation was always exceptional as well. The staff were friendly and very happy to help. Our island host,Yair, took care of all reservations and made suggestions if we were looking for activities. He checked in with us daily to make sure our experience and villa was exceptional. The resort itself is 6 years old and is rustic accommodations. Everything was very nice and we had all we needed. Some updating is needed and we’re Tami

We saw more incredible tropical fish and sea life than any other vacation. It’s was awesome

1. Reasons for Choosing the Resort:
We chose this resort because we could enjoy snorkeling directly from the water villa, and compared to other resorts with underwater restaurants, the pricing was more reasonable.
2. First Impressions of the Resort:
We reached the resort via a seaplane, and were immediately struck by the emerald green sea below and the scattered islands floating in it.
The resort entrance, which we were guided to upon arrival, was an open and relaxing space with fine white sand, wooden pillars, and thatched-style roofs—creating a warm welcome for our travel-weary selves.
The staff were friendly and kind, and the welcome drink was delicious.
3. Water Villa:
The interior of the villa featured a tropical, natural, and airy design, and was spotlessly clean. Since it was a standalone villa, we didn’t hear any noise from other rooms.
In early March, the sea was calm in the morning and shallow, making it perfect for exploring the sunlit underwater world.
There was a glass door connecting the shower room to the deck, which was convenient for heading straight to the shower after snorkeling without dirtying the room.
The sunsets and starry skies viewed from the deck chairs were breathtaking, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
4. Dining:
The resort had a variety of restaurants—Western, Italian, a bar, and teppanyaki. The Italian restaurant was particularly authentic with generous portions, leaving us very satisfied.
The service was excellent, and the beach dinner even included professional-level video recording. On the day before our departure, we were surprised with a private dinner.
Even though our English wasn’t fluent, the staff responded with warm smiles, allowing us to enjoy a heartwarming experience.
5. Activities and Underwater Restaurant:
Some activities were canceled due to weather or participant numbers, but we have fond memories of enjoying freshly caught fish from a fishing trip as sashimi and grilled dishes for dinner.
In addition to fishing, there were a variety of activities available, such as visiting a local inhabited island, exploring ruins, and dolphin watching—ensuring we were never bored.
We had been looking forward to the underwater restaurant, and the weather was perfect. It was a luxurious experience enjoying a course meal while watching sharks and tropical fish swim gracefully by.
6. Staff Service:
Our assigned staff member, Mr. Kun, and the rest of the team were incredibly kind and always had wonderful smiles.
Even with the language barrier, they responded patiently, making us feel comfortable throughout our stay.
7. Overall Impression:
You & Me Cocoon is a small island that takes about 10 minutes to walk around, but it’s surrounded by beautiful sea and rich nature—making it the perfect place to relax.
We were able to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a special time together.
The emerald-green ocean, fiery sunsets, star-filled black skies, and sunrises over the horizon—along with delicious food and excellent service—made our time on the island an unforgettable treasure.
We’d like to express our heartfelt thanks once again to Mr. Nashif, who arranged the surprise dinner the night before our departure, and to Mr. Kun, our personal staff member.
Thank you for the wonderful moments. We definitely hope to visit again.

My partner Laurentiu and I chose You & Me Maldives for our honeymoon, and it truly exceeded all of our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The resort is absolutely stunning, nestled in the beautiful Uthurumaafaru island with crystal-clear waters, soft sandy beaches, and lush tropical surroundings.
We stayed in a Water Manta Villa, and it was nothing short of magical. The villa was spacious, luxurious, and had breathtaking views of the ocean. Being on the water, at 20m distance from a coral reef allowed us to see the vibrant marine life beneath us, which was an unforgettable experience. The private terrace was perfect for relaxing with a view of the sunrise.
We enjoyed every meal, from the international buffet to the à la carte options, each of which was made with fresh ingredients and packed with flavor. A special highlight was the You & Me Maldives underwater restaurant ‘H2O by chef Andrea Berton’, the world’s first underwater restaurant to be branded and supervised by a Michelin starred Chef. But also the romantic private dinner on the beach, together with all the other restaurants experiences made a perfect way to celebrate our new journey together. The staff made sure the entire experience was intimate and personal.
The resort offers so many activities dolphin cruise, snorkeling in the vibrant coral reefs with turtles and mantas, blissful spa day.
The service at You & Me Maldives was impeccable. Every member of the team went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Special shout-out to our island host Yasir Mohamed who took care of us during the entire stay and the housekeeping team, who ensured everything was perfect and decorated for birthday or honneymoon.
If you're looking for a peaceful, romantic, and unforgettable honeymoon destination, look no further than You & Me Maldives. The combination of luxurious accommodation, world-class dining, incredible activities, and exceptional service made our honeymoon an experience we’ll cherish forever. We can’t wait to return for an anniversary trip!

Where to begin? By far, the best holiday ever! Flew Emirates business class from Heathrow. The seaplane from Male was amazing, viewing the islands from above as we flew 45 minutes to Raa Atoll.
The resort was everything we hoped for, lots of quiet areas including a Wi-Fi free beach. (upset a few guests who stropped but great for most of us.)
4 restaurants plus H2o, the underwater restaurant.
We stayed for 3 weeks and there was always plenty of variation to the menu.
Must mention Ian, the chef at Tepanyaki Japanese restaurant, who amazed us with his skills and humour!
Did some kayaking, went on a few trips, the best was the dolphin cruise.
Staff surprised us with an Anniversary dinner and our chalet boy, Asad, made a fantastic design on our bed...
So, staff mentions. Firas, our concierge, looked after us, the waiting staff were all amazing but special thanks to Naa, Watsana, Mrianna, Angel, Vlada, Yaeesh, Hari, Sony, Xeen, Janeth (desert chef) and huge hugs to Naan who was a delightful young man.
Sarah, who tried hard with entertainments and the duo from Belarus.
Special mention to the management team for being so attentive, especially Pincher.
Our final night was made extra special with a fantastic dinner on the beach.
We will be back!!

We stayed for 7 nights at You & Me’s Manta Villa with an all inclusive package.
Service: completely exceeded expectations. Cheers bar - Alan, Rushi, Our island host -Chopey, F&B staff - Viammi, Mriyana, Angel, Water sports - Rasheed, Buggy- Happy and so many more names we can’t recite but showed genuine kindness and good service to us during the stay.
The bar: Amazing! All inclusive drinks were never watered down and service was always speedy even during busy themed nights at 10pm daily. Alan was definitely the super star of our stay!
Our only note to management was consider creating a non-smoking zone but we were always able to switch seats and find a smoke-free area
Food: all three restaurants are open air (no AC) and bare feet friendly if you choose to with sand covered floors.
Breakfast was our favourite, you can order from the a la carte menu on top of the buffet. Highlights include eggs benny and salmon plate from the ala carte menu. From the buffet, loved the fresh cut fruit station and the daily changing culture breakfast experience station. The traditional Maldivian breakfast was delicious and can easily be a stable item on the ala carte menu :)
H2O: as a foodie with fair amount of Michelin stars under my belt, the seafood lunch experience at H2O lived up to the hype in both quality of food, service and theatre. We saw so many fish, 3 sharks and beautiful coral.
Lunch: green carpet or reservations with the Italian or teppanyaki restaurant. I recommend the first two as lunch at teppanyaki can get quite warm given its open air.
Dinner: the sand or reservations at the Italian or teppanyaki restaurant. The sand often has themed buffets additional to its rotating ala carte menu, take them into account when making reservations. It’s amazing the resort has a dine around concept, you can indulge in pizza at 7pm with a reso and continue with sushi dinner & dessert at the sand before 9:45pm.
Quality of food was high for its international and Italian fare. It’s East Asian theme nights and restaurant has some room for improvement as I’m East Asian myself but still at a respectable quality. We had a total of 3 Italian and 2 teppanyaki resos, some made same day with no issues. Thanks again Chopey!
Portion of dishes might be small if you are not on all inclusive. For example, a tuna kebab main only includes 1 skewer of tuna for $20 usd.
I hope management will consider adding in-room dining to the AI package for just lunch so one can escape the heat at noon :)
Rooms: we loved that the manta villa was direct sun rise facing (dolphin villas are direct sunset facing) so we could wake up to the sun rise directly from our beds without walking to the deck. Definitely a strength of You & Me resort. We also enjoyed that our deck was always fully shaded during 1-6pm the hottest hours of the day.
The seaplane and boat deck is located at the opposite end of the island away from the villas and restaurants which I consider the layout a strength of the resort.
There were 2 cleaning services a day, wonderful job, always impeccable. We loved there was a “make my room clean sign” additional to the usual do not disturb sign so timing was always on-point. Loved that feature.
Snorkeling: we walked pasts sharks and rays from the deck. On calm and lucky days, we also snorkelled with walls of medium fish from our villa but the rock walls from the beach from our experience had the most sea life.
Spa: great deep tissue massage for one used to firm massages. This is hard to come by for me so a wonderful find. You can elect gentle or medium massages as well.
The beach and pool and their sunbeds: we found it odd for such a well serviced resort, management never considered assigning staff to manage the daybeds, this resulted in a culture of beach guests or large groups needing to hog beds with personal items from the morning along with unused beds left with wet towels, not cleaned up. Not a big issue for us as we were mostly in our villa but was not an issue at our second resort.
Overall, still a stay that exceeded our expectations and we will be looking forward to return :)

Absolutely amazing. My wife and I spent a week at this beautiful resort with 2 other couples. It looks exactly as the pictures depict. We went for our 20th anniversary. The beach, water, food and staff were all exceptional. If you enjoy snorkeling then you will love this place. The staff go out of their way to make sure you are happy. They made up a special table for our anniversary.
We had the over the water bungalow. The room was very spacious and clean. Rooms cleaned everyday and fridge stocked daily. The bathroom was cleaned daily and you can see the ocean while showering.
Food and Drink. The food was very good. A few nights they had buffet style food including their native food as well as Indian. There was also a la carte. The breakfast was amazing. There was fresh fruit cut right in front of your eyes. I was pleasantly surprised and happy that they served real bacon to go with my eggs.
Alcohol. We did have the all inclusive package. The alcohol was pretty good. Some of the higher end alcohol was not included in our package. There was apparently another all inclusive which did include the others. But this was not that big a deal.
I want to personally thanks staff members Lahey our butler who did a great job, Hari our go to waiter, Shinte Ganesh, Ramesh, and Ravi to name a few. Staff were all very happy and never seemed annoyed if we asked for things. The staff would have our evening table ready for us each and every night.
The resort is a quiet resort, so if you are looking for parties, this is not the place. That being said if I had one complaint, it would be the entertainment. The singers that they had were hard to understand. It was the same husband and wife duo everyday. Apparently they were singing in English but I could not understand a word they were singing. And this is to popular songs that I know the words to. They had a fire show that I swear only lasted for about 5 minutes tops. They did play some good music some nights with a DJ which made up for it.
All in all the few minor issues were just that, minor. This is a great resort. My wife called it "Heaven On Earth". We would definitely go again.
Note, we are from Canada where it is customary to tip. Most people visiting are European and I noticed that they don't tip. Although not expected by the staff, they do get paid a very small amount and were so happy when we gave them some extra tip money. And just to be clear, we did not get any preferential treatment because we tipped and others did not. I made sure to make that observation.
All in all we rate this resort a 4.7 out of 5. A definite place to visit. We stayed for 7 nights but could have easily stayed longer.

We have been back a few days and really miss You&Me and particularly the staff. They were all amazing and by the end we felt like friends with a number of them. I wish I took photos of name tags as I don't want to mention a few without others I cannot remember. But I have to mention our host Yasir as he was amazing. We had comms via WhatsApp which was easy and Yasir was always on hand and quick to respond. We had a couple of minor issues which he sorted out straight away. Nothing was too much trouble which was a theme of the resort.
The food is amazing and if, like us, you have reservations about buffet restaurants you need not worry if you are considering here. The main restaurant had a different a la carte menu option every day as well as a standard one. It also had various themed nights which were all amazing and a chilled atmosphere like a proper night out. There are other options - Italian, Tepinyaki and H20. All were great and we used. H2O is very expensive but one of the best experiences we have ever had. The desert was the best I've ever had anywhere.
The island is exactly as I hoped. Absolute paradise and very well kept. The sunrises and sunsets were unbelievable.
The one thing I would mention as a slight negative are the prices of excursions. Everything was so expensive i.e a snorkelling trip was $210 (I think 3 hrs but may be 2hrs). I asked if you got a gold snorkel included.
All in all an amazing holiday with amazing people - if you are reading this go here and have your fingers crossed you get Yasir! However, I am sure all hosts are great.

We spent 2 glorious weeks in an overwater villa in March. Last year we visited the Maldives for the first time and stayed at Joy Island. We had such an amazing time, we came back again this year to You & Me. Although Joy Island had left us very happy I have to say You & Me was even better. The restaurant dining style experience was superb, the bar service better and the sealife astounding with turtles, mantas and big sharks seen from our villa. The snorkelling at the rocks was an adventure and we always saw something new.
As with Joy Island, it is the staff who truly make your holiday special and we would like to express our thanks to every member but especially Shana our host who was so kind and helpful. The restaurant and bar staff Janith, Mriyana, Sony, Viaam, Angel, Ganesh, Pincher and Shinnu who were there to greet us with a smile and quick to ensure everything ran smoothly. Finally thanks to Mohamed for keeping our room tidy and sharing his passion for the sea.

Recently returned from a lovely holiday at the You & Me Resort. We stayed in an Aqua Suite with pool which was just amazing. Our host Happy was great and made sure we had the best holiday possible.
The highlight for me was the private cinema on the beach where we could pick any film we wanted and it came with a bottle of Verve and chocolates and popcorn, it was magical. (This obviously came at a surcharge but I feel was worth it)

I want to start off by saying that the staff were fantastic; unfortunately we were very disappointed with the quality of the food at the speciality restaurants. It was almost an insult just how bad it was. We had the worst meals of our lives on this trip; and we have travelled far and wide.
The main restaurant was very good; we especially enjoyed the traditional Maldivian food.
We found for an 'all inclusive' this was a little misleading; beer in mini bar not part of the All Inclusive package, only wine available with meals - although the bar was a stone's throw away: small things that would make the experience so much better.
The constant attempts to sell 'extras' a little tiring; hundreds of dollars to hire an old jetski for 30mins. No thank you. We had a floating breakfast at our villa pool; the food was cold and the waffles were burnt - it made a good photo for Instagram but little else.
We had a private beach villa with pool. We liked the accommodation; although random people from the overwater villas would set up on our sun loungers on our so called 'private' beach. This happened every single day.
We found the island very pretty and we enjoyed the peaceful time together; we will visit the Maldives again, but in all honesty, we couldn't recommend 'You & Me'.

An Unforgettable Honeymoon in a Paradise on Earth

Sincerely, it has been an absolutely unforgettable experience from the very first moment to the last. We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has made this trip, our honeymoon, so special. Yasir, our personal host, has been exceptional in every way: kind, organized, helpful, and dedicated. His attention and dedication have made us feel like we're home.
The snorkeling excursion with Samu and Ratu has been one of the best experiences of our lives. Their passion and knowledge of marine life have allowed us to discover an incredible underwater world. The way they've guided us and shared their love for the ocean has been truly inspiring.
The food and service at the restaurant have been excellent. Viaah and Chris have been our angels at the table, always attentive to our needs and making us laugh with their good humor. And the nights have been magical thanks to Saraah, who has delighted us with incredible shows and treated us with infinite kindness.
Overall, the cleanliness, variety of food and cocktails, and the resort's spaces have been impressive. It has been a true paradise on earth. We feel fortunate to have been able to experience all this and can't wait to come back.
We'd also like to extend our gratitude to the entire resort staff for their kindness and attention throughout our stay. It has been a pleasure to meet and interact with such a wonderful team.

Paradise!! We had the absolute pleasure of visiting You and Me in April to celebrate our 30th anniversary. From start to finish it has been the most wonderful experience. The staff met us at the airport to help with the seaplane transfer - which was quite an experience! We were then met at the dock by a friendly and kind staff as well as our personal Butler for the week, Yassir. He helped us to schedule special dinners and any excursions we liked. Our villa included a pool and access to the ocean which we used every day for snorkeling. The room has gorgeous views and the bed is very comfortable. Housekeeping comes twice a day and are very thorough.
The snorkeling was absolutely the best we've experienced and right off the beach we were able to see turtles, rays, many beautiful tropical fish and a few small sharks!
We had the all inclusive plan, and we were not disappointed. The food was tasty and varied each night. The Indian night and traditional Maldivian night were especially delicious! We were also well taken care of by the service staff. In particular, Hari, Sony, Xeen, Maazin, Yuni, and Shinnu - all were so kind and friendly and made our experience even better.
Two other experiences that we'd recommend are 1. Go to the H20 underwater restaurant. It's a little expensive but worth every penny! You are served a 7 course meal with a view of beautiful coral and many fish swimming around. 2. We also opted to plant coral with the marine biologist Semba. We tied 10 pieces of stag horn coral to a frame and were able to snorkel over to watch it being set into place where hopefully the coral will grow. They are going to send us updates so we can watch its progress. Semba was extremely knowledgeable and we are grateful for the important work he is doing and that he will take care of our little corner of the Indian Ocean!
One word to the wise: tipping is a little confusing especially on the all inclusive plan. From what we understand most gratuities in restaurants are split among the entire staff, i.e. it goes to the resort and is distributed into paychecks. The only way to tip specific individuals who go above and beyond is cash. Otherwise cash is generally not needed.
We highly recommend this resort and are hoping to be back in the future!

Absolutely incredible Experience!
My husband and I visited on honeymoon and were blown away by the service, food and view out our windows.
There are lots of activities making the island perfect for adult entertainment and relaxation the whole day.
Highly recommend and would go back in a heartbeat!

The service, the accommodations and the staff were amazing! They really did go over and beyond! Frius kept us organized with our daily itineraries and Naa/Viiarm/Chris kept us with our special Cola Lights! The snorkeling along the rock line was the best—so many types of fish! The water was nice and warm, with nothing dangerous except the uptick in current at times.
Do take a make up mirror as another traveler suggested. I am not a big make up wearer but I could see where it would make “getting done up” easier.
Also, there is no need for a beach bag or towels (or umbrella/rain jacket) as they have them in your room for your use.
Last advice, make sure you check the luggage weight requirements for the sea plan, which kept us from paying extra fees.
