The $2777 beach villa + international flight price is a good deal. However, if you can swing the ocean villa price upgrade, then it's worth it after all that travel from the US. As I said in my last post, I'll never go back due to the distance.
Here are some sharks I recorded right under our villa. The nursery shark was after an octopus. LINK : https://youtu.be/UUjm8smWnjY
I am not sure where you are finding the reviews that "tend to complain" about Pullman resort, but there are plenty of reviews in detail on Tripadvisors and a few specific vidoes on YouTube. They greeted us at the main dock like a 5-star resort. The check-in process was done inside my villa upon arriving around 11 AM after our island tour. The white powdered sand beach and waters are amazing, it's a clear glass view looking at the marine life in the lagoon (similar to our Tahiti trip). It took us about 30-45 min to walk around the island out skirts. Marine life (sharks, stingrays, eagle rays, turtles, octopus and tons of fish) can be spotted walking the beach or looking off the villa walkways. The vast lagoon comes to your knees during low tide to walk out about 1/4 mile into the lagoon/ocean water.
I choose the 30 min jet-ski as my free activity, guided snorkeling tour on the house reef as my free excursion, took out the free kayak and free paddle boards daily (except for one rainy day in Dec). Kept and road bikes daily the entire trip ($13 pp daily usd). Bikes will avoid having to wait for go-cart buggies (every 20 min) to get around the island or just get use to walking a lot.
There is much more, but I don't want to write a full on review. Plenty of others have provided positive reviews about the food (not a vegan fan), drinks, service, public pools, activities, excursions, spa, etc.
TIP on travel: Turkish Airlines does offer a free tour or free hotel stay depending on layover duration. Ours was 16 hours
The picture alone can tell you that if you bothered to look.
Sorry misread the post. It said 2 guests.
I don't know why they claim all taxes included. If you go to the Luxury Escapes website, you'll see an example price of $2,777 for a beach villa, just like was noted at the top of this thread. Look at the price details and you will see that taxes are $722. Total given is $3,499.
2. The taxes ARE Included in the price you pay to that company, Luxury Escapes. It's "added" to the price you originally see, but it basically means you won't pay any taxes/additional fees when you get to the resort.
3. The included plane ride from Male to the resort is worth roughly $400 per persons, so that's nice.
4. The flights from the US suck. Its a LONG ways. 14 or so from the East Coast to the mid-east, then another 5 or so the Maldives, then another 40 minutes to the resort. Now, add in layovers (expect about a 2 hour layover in Male and anywhere from 3 hours to 18 hours in the mid-east) and you're definitely looking at well over 24 to 30 hours of travel time..and this is from the east coast.
5. Bring plenty of bug spray no matter when you go!
I've been twice, although neither time was to this resort. If you have questions, please let me know.

I booked on 6/5/23 on the last front page deal and we just got back 2 weeks ago from Pullman Maldives Maamutta. I will not do this again, since it was so far and took me 4 days to adjust back to my time zone. BUT, IT WAS AWESOME AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING!
First the bad:
1. Drinks took a long time to get to me (water and soda is quick), anywhere from 5-30 minutes for cocktails. Except at the Hub Bar, always under 5 minutes.
2. Limited restaurants, granted it is a private resort island. The MÉLANGE buffet is breakfast, lunch, dinner with about 4 cook-to-order stations. Think of it as a world buffet, good food and variety. The two a la carte restaurants include SOUQ OVEN Italian lunch and dinner and PHAT CHAMELEON vegan only and only dinner. Don't let the reviews fool you, if your not vegan and don't think you will like it, go with your gut! We went straight to the buffet right after (yuck)
3. We had one full day of rain and it does suck. All the fun outside activities are closed down, so think twice before booking during rainy seasons.
The good:
Everything else was awesome, it was that exotic dream vacation that everyone has on their bucket list!
I am so glad I upgraded to the Ocean Pool Villa (double the price) vs the beach villa. The deal back in June 2023 was slightly better comparing December rates and the upgraded villa booked for 6 nights ($6335 vs $7673). On that booking date, Turkish Airlines was the best price at $2567 for 2 + $312 option for assigned seats. All flights had every seat filled except our IST to LAX coming back. YES, IT'S A BRUTAL FLIGHT. Not so bad going there, but really sucks getting back, plus adjusting to the time zone again.
