Top 4 Reasons to Visit Radisson Blu Maldives

Opening promotions in Q2 2020. Based on our experience, the opening promotion prices will usually be the cheapest. After the opening promotion, prices will likely be increasing across different seasons. Concerns for newly open resorts and hotels are that the resort facilities are not ready, service staff might not be adequate etc. These concerns are reduced when it comes to a big international brand like Radisson, who has 1100 hotels to their name.
Alifu Dhaalu Atoll. As mentioned in the opening paragraph, Radisson Blu is located in an atoll which is famous for its rich marine life. In fact there is a whale shark point very near to the resort and expect sightings of whale sharks all year round.
The Villas. The entry level water pool villa is very spacious at 220sqm. For Singaporeans out there, one average 5 room flat in Singapore is at 110sqm, the water pool villa is twice the size of a 5 room flat !
The Meal Plans. Radisson Blu Maldives’ meal plan is unique. Usually most of the other resorts will include in alcoholic drinks only in their all inclusive meal plan. For Radisson, they have half board plus and full board plus meal plan that includes unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages during meal times.
