BLUE Olhuveli Romance

About the hotel

Private pools. Open-air restaurants. Its own coral reef. TUI BLUE Olhuveli Romance majors in laidback Maldivian getaways.

Barefoot luxury – that’s the ethos this hotel, part of the TUI BLUE collection, swears by. The reception, bars and buffet restaurant are all open-air sandy spaces, so you’re encouraged to leave your flip-flops in your room and embrace island life. When you check in, you’ll be assigned an island host – a personal assistant who you can chat to on WhatsApp throughout your holiday. Got a question about the hotel? They’ll answer it. Want to book into a restaurant? They’ll get you in.

Our TUI BLUE collection is full of hotels that combine best-in-class service, authentic local cuisine and activities to suit you. And this particular property combines our Adults Only traveller type with the Foodie highlight. That means food and drink really stands out at this just-for-grown-ups hotel.

In true Maldivian style, this place is set on an island ringed by white sand and that trademark blue water. It’s a snorkeller’s paradise, but you don’t even need to get your feet wet to get close to the wildlife – just tiptoe towards the sea, and you might spot sharks, rays and turtles.

To get here, you’ll take a scenic speedboat transfer after you arrive at the airport.

This place was named Best Hotel Long Haul in the 2025 Global Hotel Awards. These awards are based on feedback from our customers about their own holiday experiences, taking into account the hotel's service and quality.

The Maldives' natural beauty is in the spotlight here, so you might find that there aren't balustrades or barriers around the beach rooms, water-bungalow terraces or public walkways, giving direct access to the sea.

Just so you know, this accommodation is exclusively for adults and doesn't allow bookings with children under the age of 16.
