Legit Italian hospitality—staff greet you with 'Buongiorno' and the pasta is handmade
The house reef is accessible directly from the beach and teeming with sharks and rays
Recently transitioned to a 'Luxury All-Inclusive' model that actually includes premium liquor
Краткий обзор: It’s a slice of Milan dropped into the Indian Ocean, which means the food is incredible but the 'island time' service can sometimes feel a bit too relaxed.
Подтверждено @norwegiantravelcouple: I still can't get over this morning at Baglioni! We ordered the floating breakfast to our private pool, and honestly, the photos don't do the turquoise water justice. It was the most romantic start to our day, just drifting with coffee and pancakes while watching the horizon.

The hype
Travelers universally praise the pristine cleanliness and the Italian food quality, but many note the service speed can be inconsistent.
Reality check
The 'golf cart rumble' in the water villas is a real sleep-disturber for light sleepers; bring earplugs or book a beach villa.
You are a foodie who refuses to compromise on dining just because you're on an island
You appreciate a 'barefoot luxury' vibe where dressing up for dinner means a nice linen shirt, not a tuxedo
You want a great house reef without needing a boat trip

FAQ и советы
Всё, что вы действительно хотели бы знать перед бронированием.
Is the seaplane transfer included in the room price?
No. It costs approximately $509 per adult and $319 per child (roundtrip) and must be arranged via the resort.
Is the food actually good?
Yes. Unlike many all-inclusives, the Italian food at 'Gusto' and Japanese at 'Umami' are restaurant-quality, not buffet slop.
Are kids allowed?
Yes, there is a Kids Club (ages 3-12) and family beach villas, but the vibe is definitely more 'romantic couple' than 'Disney resort'.
Do I need to bring cash?
Not really. Everything is charged to the room. You might want small USD bills for tipping staff directly, though a service charge is added to bills.
Is there a house reef?
Yes, and it's excellent. You can snorkel directly from the beach or your water villa and see sharks, rays, and turtles.
What is the 'Green Globe' status?
The resort is Green Globe certified, meaning they produce their own drinking water (no plastic bottles) and have active coral restoration projects.

The 'Ferrari' aperitivo hour at the pool bar is the best time to grab a drink—authentic Italian sparkling wine with snacks.
✨
Ask for a table on the deck at Umami for the best chance to see reef sharks swimming below while you eat sushi.
✨
The 'Golden Sandbank' excursion is worth the extra cost for a private castaway experience.
5 вещей, которые нужно знать перед поездкой
💡The 'Italian time' service concept is real—don't expect your espresso in 2 minutes.
💡The wooden walkways get incredibly hot; you will burn your feet if you don't wear flip-flops.
💡The 'All-Inclusive' wine list is good, but the really famous Italian vintages are locked behind a paywall.
💡Mosquitoes can be present despite fogging—lush vegetation comes with a price.
💡The seaplane terminal lounge in Malé is a nice perk, but the wait can still be long depending on flight schedules.
