Heidi McWilliam - Sydney Australia - Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru - July 2024

Just wanted to let you know what an amazing time we had at the FS! We had great weather, food was incredible and the staff could not have been lovelier. Thank you so much for all your help and for following up so thoroughly with the transfers. We ended up having the plane to ourselves! 

We will most certainly be in touch when we return to the Maldives. 

VIP Repeat Client - Liliana Caputo & Jason Pantzer - Sydney Australia - Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru & Gili Lankanfushi - April 2024, January 2023, January 2016, January 2014.

Dear Jodie and the Extraordinary Escapes Team, We recently returned from our fourth visit to the Maldives and it was our best trip yet! Each of our four visits has been flawlessly organised by your team. From coordinating travel and accommodation details to handling transfers, meals, activities, and even our special and unusual requests, your meticulous attention to detail has been incredible. Most importantly, when issues arose during our holiday, you were always available to assist, resolving everything with little disruption and the utmost professionalism. Our family loves the Maldives, but it's your exceptional organisation that has made each experience truly memorable. We look forward to planning our next Maldivian adventure with you. Thank you for everything!

VIP Repeat Client - Leah Taylor- Adelaide Australia - Six Senses Laamu - September 2024, September 2023, April 2022, April 2020, April 2018 & April 2016

We have booked four trips to the Maldives through Jodie and her team at Extraordinary Escapes and look forward to booking our fifth trip later this year. The return trips say it all really! The staff specialize in the Maldives so their knowledge, experience and dedication ensure you have the trip of a lifetime. Our family holidays are always planned perfectly and always exceed our expectations. We love the attention to detail Jodie and her team offer and always go beyond to make sure your trip is really special. We highly recommend Extraordinary Escapes for an unforgettable holiday to magical Maldives, you won’t be disappointed. 

We normally travel to Six Senses Laamu and absolutely love the wonderful caring team at the resort. You can snorkel from your water villa or Chill Bar and you will see turtles, eagle rays, reef sharks and of course abundant amount of vibrant fish, it’s like you are swimming in an aquarium.

Rita & John Arrigo - Melbourne Australia -Patina - September 2024

John & I had 8 magical nights. It was certainly paradise. From the moment we boarded the speedboat we knew & felt that this was going to be something special. The manager’s presence daily was amazing. Our essentialist met all of our needs & wishes. The staff were warm, approachable, caring & just amazing. It was what we expected. We were lucky with the weather too. The dining is exceptional at Patina. What I didn’t expect was how quiet it was. We really only saw other people at breakfast & dinner. We literally had the beach & pool to ourselves. The generous gifts left in our room each night were so appreciated. It was a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget. Thank you for making this happen for us.

Harman Grewal - Vancouver Canada - Huvafen Fushi - September 2024

We had an amazing time!  Thank you so much for your help - we were upgraded to the ocean view bungalow and that was the icing on the cake.  Everything at the resort was 10/10, including the accommodations, food, staff and service, and overall beauty.  We will definitely be returning in the future. We really appreciate you guys getting us set up and will highly recommend you to anyone we know that's interested in the Maldives.

Sophie Hampel & Chris King - Sydney Australia - Six Senses Laamu - March 2024

We had THE MOST MAGNIFICENT time and could see ourselves returning. The room, the food, the service, the reef and ocean, it was all magnificent. We could not have imagined a more perfect babymoon so please pass on our thanks to Jodie.

Elaine Doran - Hong Kong - Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru - April 2024

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! I'm afraid we may have ruined all further holidays for us haha. We are slowly getting adjusted back to normal life indeed. The staff were amazing. We've stayed in many a four seasons before but every staff member there was friendly, helpful and always finding ways to one up our stay - not to mention being fantastic with the children. It was a real differentiator and honestly made our stay. Will be looking forward to our next Maldives trip for sure!

VIP Repeat Client - Michelle Stradwick - Adelaide Australia - Four Seasons Kuda Huraa - September 2023, September 2019, October 2018, June 2017, September 2016, September 2015, October 2014, July 2013, August 2012.

We have travelled extensively and the Four Seasons Kuda Huraa remains our favorite place to visit. Everyone in the family can do what they love. Reading and relaxing by the pool (me), surfing great waves (husband) and keeping busy (kids). We have booked many trips through Extraordinary Escapes. Jodie consistently provides an exceptional level of service. It is clear that she has a passion for what she does. Jodie is highly competent and capable. When we have had to make changes or presented an unusual request, she listens and “gets it”, “gets on with it” and makes it work! I love her efficiency. In addition Extraordinary Escapes offers excellent rates and the team has extensive knowledge of the Maldivian Island Resorts.

Quite frankly it was superb and perhaps even better than last year if that is possible?! The Four Seasons Team were as usual fantastic. We started slow and relaxed, but then got into all the activities, diving, fishing, snorkeling, jet skis, inflatables, Maldivian Cruise etc. We had a lot of fun! All in all, a truly extraordinary escape! And yes….we will be looking to do the same next year!

Thanks again Jodie and team.

Garth & Katie Livermore - Huvafen Fushi Maldives - 03 November 2015

I don't really know what to say, other than it was amazing! The resort was perfect, beautiful looked after and the staff were amazing. We had the best time and we would highly recommend this resort to our family and friends. What a treat!! The gym was great, we had it all to ourselves and we really enjoyed the restaurant Raw and Salt. I am hoping we will be able to go back one day again and visit - fingers crossed! Thanks again to you and the team for putting together such a great trip

Rocky Postrak & Leigh-Ann Thomas - NT Australia - Huvafen Fushi Maldives - 18 September 2014

Leigh-ann and myself would like to thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for a unforgettable holiday at Huvafen Fushi. Thankyou for getting us such a fantastic deal with accommodation as I see on other site it can be very expensive. Wowzer what an adventure we had, really thankyou so much and we will be in touch when we come to planning our next adventure.

Paul, Claire & Anna - Perth Australia - Gili Lankanfushi Maldives - May 2014 - April 2024 - September 2024

We have safely returned from our holiday and had a lovely time. Really appreciated the Gili experience and seemed more akin to what we experienced at Landaa. Having an over water villa on such a scale was great and I don't think we swam in the resort pool once as the lagoon was so inviting. We found the resort to be very hospitable with a relaxing vibe, luxurious without being too ostentatious.  The standard of the food was excellent and we really enjoyed our wine cave dinner

Patrick & Brooke - Sydney Australia - Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru - 04 April 2014

The Extraordinary Escapes name here is priceless. Being treated like Royalty.

VIP Repeat Clients - Douglas & Nicole Murray - USA - August 2013 W Maldives, Nov 2013 Gili Lankanfushi.

We LOVED Gili.  As you know, we love Huvafen Fushi and the W as well, all three are unique. The service - and the Crusoe suite, were unparalleled.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your great help.  I know we will be in touch!
