Dreamland Unique Sea and Lake Resort Spa

Spent 7 nights at Dreamland in November 2025 and loved it. Beautiful little island where 95% of the guests were German-speaking. The staff were great and Zaayn in the restaurant deserves special mention, as does the guy working at the water villas bar. Food was great with around 10-12 tasty home-cooked meals to choose from, presented by energetic and smiling chefs. Joy Dive team can be a bit blunt to non-Germans but really can't praise the Dreamland staff highly enough, always smiling and working hard, taking time to talk to you. They all clearly enjoy their work. Lagoon is stunning with plenty fish, a few baby sharks, etc. perfect for snorkelling. The Manta Ray trip to Hanifaru was spectacular to say the least - highly recommend! Water villas great but the walkway doesn't have any barriers, so can be a bit daunting to walk along as it's about 10 feet drop into the sea. Never used the pool once as the sea was so clear and warm. You get dropped off at a jetty (a few planks of wood stuck together in the middle of the sea) by the seaplane, and the speedboat takes you to the resort. Although this cuts down a fair amount of noise, there are still lots of planes and the speedboat goes back and forward around 15 times per day to the jetty to pick up / drop off guests. Cocktails are OK and wine was fine for our tastes, with neither of us being big drinkers. One German guys was vaping openly in the bar which isn't permitted by law but it wasn't being enforced. Lots of interesting plants and wildlife with the fruit bat, birds, lizards, etc. Never seen any mosquitoes / bites, nor any fumigating which was mentioned in other reviews. Would go back tomorrow if I could as miss it already.
