🌴 Review: Dreamland Maldives (Stayed July 7–11, 2025) 🌴 Just returned from an amazing 4-night stay at Dreamland Maldives, and overall we were really impressed — especially if you love marine life and peaceful surroundings. 🐠 Snorkeling & Excursions – Absolutely worth it! The house reef around the island is full of life. We saw nurse sharks, sea cucumbers, and even sea turtles while snorkeling close to shore. Our favorite excursions were: • A trip to Hanifaru Bay to watch the majestic manta rays. • A nurse shark tour around the Dreamland reef — exciting and well organized. 🍴 Food – Delicious and better than expected We chose the Full Board package (3 meals per day), and the buffet meals were consistently good. Each day offered a variety of beef, pork, chicken, and fish dishes, along with rotating international options. We were pleasantly surprised to find Thai dishes occasionally included — such as Tom Yum Chicken Soup and Thai Fish Cakes (Tod Mun Pla) — both authentic and flavorful. 💧 Note – Full Board doesn’t include water Still water is not included in Full Board. • A 1.5L bottle costs around $3.50 USD, which adds up over several days. • If you prefer not to worry about extra drink charges, we recommend going for the All-Inclusive package instead. 🌧️ Weather Tip – Be cautious in July On our departure day, a storm delayed our seaplane, and we missed our international flight. If traveling in July (monsoon season), plan extra buffer time or stay a night near the airport before your outbound flight. Dreamland offers a relaxing and nature-filled getaway with great snorkeling and tasty food. We’ll gladly return — but next time, with All-Inclusive and flexible travel plans during the rainy season!
