We stayed at Outrigger Maafushivaru for 7 nights and 8 days as our honeymoon, and every moment proved us that we came to the perfect place. Generally, resorts in the Maldives fall into two categories: ones with beautiful lagoons that lack marine life, and ones that are full of marine life but have little lagoon to enjoy. However, we could enjoy both the amazing lagoon view as well as various marine life at Outrigger Maafushivaru thoroughly during our stay. There were exotic fish and baby sharks everywhere, near the water villas and even under them. The view from our water villa as well as around the island was unrealistic at sunrise, during the day, at sunset and even at night, as we could see hundreds of stars with our naked eyes. Excursions at Outrigger were great as well. Though unfortunately we could not see whale sharks, we saw manta rays, turtles and nurse sharks at a very close distance during snorkeling. The dolphin cruise was also an amazing experience, as we could see right beneath our feet the dolphins swimming along with the cruise. The guides that led the excursions perfectly knew what they were doing, and we really appreciated their effort trying to find the natural marine life that we sought. The food at Outrigger were excellent as well. It was difficult to choose what to eat in the morning buffets as there were so many choices of food from different cultures and countries. Lunch at Edgewater were perfect every time, with a great view toward the lagoon. We especially loved all of the pizzas we had at Edgewater. For dinner, Outrigger runs four restaurants: Moodhu Grill, Artisan, Koto, and Cuisine. All the food we had were delicious, and it was heartbreaking to leave some behind as we were full every time. All of the staff members were so kind and helpful in every way, and we would like to especially thank Vivi, for the kind support she gave us every time we asked for something. She even took pictures and videos for us in her spare time, which were amazing. We wish we could visit Outrigger again in the future!
