Guest reputation
Tripadvisor ranking: 1 of 1 on Landaagiraavaru; 2026 Travelers' Choice; sub-scores Location / Rooms / Cleanliness / Service / Sleep 4.9, Value 4.4
Common praise
- The Four Seasons-level attentive service is repeatedly called 'the best we've had': experiences curated to your interests, and weekly staff-and-guest parties
- Diving and mantas are the signature: the Baa Biosphere, the world's largest manta population, a 'Manta on Call' alert, with many guests seeing whale sharks
- The renovated large villas + big deck plunge pool, the AyurMa Ayurvedic spa and the Marine Discovery Centre (turtle rehab / coral) are extremely well reviewed; very strong for families
- Known in Chinese as 'Big Four Seasons' (vs the sister Kuda Huraa 'Little Four Seasons'), with lots of sunset water villa (No. 419), 4-bedroom estate and snorkelling room-tour content
- It regularly makes 'travellers' top 10 Maldives resorts' lists and is compared with Soneva and Kuda Huraa; the resort's own account is active on Xiaohongshu
Common complaints
- Expensive: Value 4.4, from $2,046
- The breakfast buffet is felt by several (European) reviews to be below the peer standard; the teppanyaki 'has more potential'
- 'Manta on Call' is luck-dependent - ask about the private safari on day one
- The Chinese name is written several ways ('Big Four Seasons' / 'Four Seasons Landaa' / 'Landaa Giraavaru')
- No concentrated complaint theme; price is the main hesitation
Tripadvisor 4.9/5 (1,895 reviews, nearly all sub-scores 4.9, a 2026 Travelers' Choice) and Google 4.8/5 (401) - on Xiaohongshu it is 'Big Four Seasons'. All three agree: Four Seasons-level service (curated to your interests), the mantas / diving of the Baa Biosphere, the renovated large villas, the AyurMa spa and the Marine Discovery Centre, and a very strong family offer are the draws; there are few weaknesses - it is expensive (Value 4.4), the breakfast buffet is felt to be below the peer standard, and 'Manta on Call' is luck-dependent.
