Hotels in the Maldives

the welcome was amazing!the staff were very friendly and helpful to us from first minute!!made us feel comfortable and safe!

We had a wonderful and unforgettable 4 days on this paradise island, just 1.2 hours by speedboat from Male (60 euros per person one way). We were surrounded by care and attention from the magnificent and friendly staff and hotel owner. The food in the restaurant was very delicious, with breakfast available as a buffet or à la carte. There is a wide selection of snorkeling trips, including swimming with harmless nurse sharks or searching for turtles, fishing, and relaxing on deserted sandy beaches. You can rent paddle boards, kayaks, fins, and masks. We will long remember the beautiful sunsets and tasty dinners on the beach under the stars. We will definitely return again."

Great location, excellent cleanliness, and very friendly hosts. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, making for a pleasant stay.

Very nice and quiet location. The best local island experience. The host is very friendly and provides all the information you need. Many options for day trips and activities in reasonable prices.

The staff is so nice and helpful. They will pick you up, drop you off, give you all the information you need and more. Snorkeling equipment is free. We did the half day tour and it was perfect. The closest access to the beach is just 5 minutes away by walking, while the “main” bikini beach is around 15 mins away. Wifi works. The food was also good. We will definitely come back in the future :)

Very clean hotel, the room was cleaned every day. Very nice and helpful staff that made us feel like home. They organized everything (trips, speedboat from and to the airport). Hotel is new, well furnished. We would stay here again.

The rooms are just as beautiful as shown in pictures and also provide a yoga mat and a beach bag. The whole building feels really spacious, bright and open and has its own Bikini beach area right in front, where you can just hang out or go snorkeling or stand up paddling. You get daily updates about weather, tides and activities. Even if the island is really remote and luckily not touristy, you can pretty much do any activity like snorkeling trips, fishing trips, dolphin cruise etc, all carefully prepared and done by the owner Ismail himself. On top of that there were complimentary activities done by Ismail such as house reef snorkeling and short thematic walks, so you could truly get to know the island and Maldivian culture. The island itself is also just super beautiful. With only a small village, half of the island is pretty green jungle and the bikini beach area spans across a wide part of the island. You cannot walk all around the isla nd, which makes it perfect to have nice little isolated beach areas to yourself. Also the house reef of the island is amazing with so many different fish - it’s just a dream for snorkeling. If you are lucky you can even see Manta rays right from the beach or from the SUP. What really makes this place special is the people who go above and beyond so that you can have your perfect holiday - from fresh coconut right from the tree or amazing chai tea, to organizing trips that are not regularly offered. If you have any questions or need anything, you can always reach out to the wonderful team and everybody will be warm and welcoming. Thank you so much, Ismail and Akoo and the whole team for this amazing holiday - it is really appreciated!

The host was really helpful and provided best service he could.

the room has glass door straight to the beach

Thanks to Mippo we had the most wonderful trip to see four mantas together! Accomodation is really nice, comfortable beds, everything was clean. :)

Everything was great about the hotel! The staff is super friendly and the dive experience was phenomenal!
