Barceló Whale Lagoon Maldives

We had a absolutely wonderful experience at the Barcelo Mandara Spa! 10/10 recommend- we wish we were staying longer just so we could go again! We did the Wellness couples experience and it included everything we could possibly want. Excellent massage and facial, every detail was thought of throughout it al

I want to say thank you all the guys from this amazing place for my perfect vacation. It was truly amazing!!

Excellent resort. Luxurious, beautiful and unreal. Got a Balinese massage which was the best massage I've ever had. Extremely relaxing. Wish I could do it everyday. The food spread is great too and there are loads of choices for entertainment. The interiors are impeccable as well. Booked an all inclusive package which feels like a great value for money!

The couples massage was amazing. Worth every penny. The resort is brand new and very thoughtfully designed. Staff is courteous and welcoming. Everything was beyond our expectations and would recommend it. There are many activities for all ages and there wasnt a dull moment in our stay.

My husband and I recently spent 10 nights this Dec at Barceló in the sunrise water villa and LOVED it! The resort is beautifully maintained with a really good staff to guest ratio so it constantly feels like paradise and spotless all over the island and beach/pool areas. Our experience was more enjoyable because of the AMAZINGGG staff! Everyone is very warm and friendly. With special thanks to Zeeyan who always made our Sea Salt meals enjoyable with his stories and lovely smile! Missing Swapnil and his amazing breakfast station and passion for food, thank you for pulling together my special requests! Don't remember everyone's names but all the Salt and Aqua staff and staff at all the bars and those kindly giving us buggy rides to quickly get from our villa to places! Huge thanks to Fani and all the amazing spa staff, the sauna and steam is great and we did 3 treatments during our stay HIGHLY RECOMMEND the wellness package- was the perfect relaxation as a couple. Barceló have an amazing team at the dive centre and water sports centre that are all so passionate and skilled with all the water activities! Huge range of things to do, we found the sunset fishing experience really fun. Great touch the chef was able to make our catches for our lunch the next day! The private sandbank experience by jetski was insanely memorable, Huge thanks to Hisham for helping us organise our activities. The resort has a lot of complimentary activities and offerings worth doing like the 30min free guest photoshoot and house reef snorkeling. Thank you to the reception staff for always being super efficient and we LOVED our experiences with the photographer- he's very talented. We also did the mini drone shoot which was really worth it to capture how stunning the island is and a great keepsake. There's always something fun going on at the resort too like movie night under the stars by the beach, sunset yoga, archery or volleyball etc and they're constantly expanding the offering. We managed to also see beatiful Christmas lighting decorations put up before our departure so I'm sure it'll be great for guests staying over the festive break and celebrating Christmas at the resort.

Five stars! I recently had a massage at Wellness SPA and it was fantastic. The therapist was skilled and professional, and the atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. The entire spa was clean and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and professional. I highly recommend this spa for anyone looking for a truly therapeutic and relaxing massage.
