About this stay

Our take

Summer Island delivers the overwater villa experience without five-star pricing. A house reef, an infinity pool, a 24-hour gym, an overwater spa and diving cover the essentials, and 1,288 reviews averaging 9.2 show it does so reliably. It is a 4-star resort, so finishes and dining are simpler than at the luxury islands nearby, but for reef time and lagoon views per dollar it is hard to beat in North Malé Atoll.

✓Book an overwater villa for direct access to the lagoon and unparalleled sea views.
✓Take advantage of the dive centre to explore the rich marine life of the house reef.
✓Spend an afternoon at the overwater spa for a truly relaxing and unique experience.

Why guests love it
Summer Island is a sensible family choice when an overwater villa is on the wish list but an ultra-luxury budget is not. The infinity pool is the easy option for younger children, while the house reef gives older ones plenty of fish to follow close to shore. Spacious balconies and terraces help when everyone shares one villa. With nearly 1,300 reviews averaging 9.2, it is one of the best-documented resorts in North Malé Atoll.
