An Unforgettable Paradise: The Perfect Snorkeling and Beach Getaway I recently had the privilege of staying at this incredible beach hotel, and it was nothing short of a dream come true. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and an impeccable level of service that made me feel like royalty. The staff were genuinely kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect in every way. The hotel itself is situated close to a pristine stretch of beach that feels like a slice of heaven. The soft, powdery sand and the crystal-clear turquoise waters are picture-perfect. Whether lounging under a swaying palm tree or taking a leisurely stroll along the shore, every moment was blissful. But the highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the snorkeling excursions. The hotel offers some of the best-organized and professionally guided tours I’ve ever experienced. The guides were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made every effort to ensure we had an unforgettable time exploring the vibrant underwater world. The reefs were teeming with colorful marine life, from schools of tropical fish to graceful sea turtles and even the occasional stingray. It felt like swimming through a living aquarium! The accommodations were equally impressive. My room was spacious, beautifully decorated. Falling asleep there and waking up to the sunrise over the sea was a magical experience. Dining at the hotel was another highlight. The on-site restaurants served fresh, delicious meals with a variety of options to suit every palate. I particularly loved the seafood dishes, which were expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. Every detail of this boutique beach hotel has been carefully curated to provide an unforgettable experience. Whether you're looking to relax on the beach, immerse yourself in underwater adventures, or simply soak up the warm hospitality, this place has it all. I can’t recommend this hotel enough—it truly is a paradise on Earth.

Offering an indoor pool and a restaurant, Plumeria Maldives is located in Vaavu Atoll Thinadhoo. Free WiFi access is available.

Each air-conditioned room here will provide you with air conditioning and a balcony. There is also a dining table. The private bathroom also comes with a hairdryer. You can enjoy sea view from the room. Extras include a minibar and a seating area. This is the best place we’ve visited in Maldives. 100% value for money. Small and very nice island with perfect beaches. Plumeria provides great buffet meals, with a huge variety of local & international cuisine, for absolutely adequate cost (just 20$ per person - it’s REALLY AMAZING). You will be able to sit outside, right by the water, enjoy morning sea & island views, as well as night sky and safe sharks swimming right beneath you. What an amazing experience! Azeez, the host, makes sure there’s also something special happening every evening - local dance shows, special dinners for returning guests, tea parties and much more. Every evening at 7:30 pm you can witness sharks feeding process right near the restaurant, a must-see attraction! You really don’t need anything else during your holiday. Plumeria has it all. It was the best place we stayed amongst 3 other locations on diffetent islands. We also enjoyed boat dinner for $65 per person. Absolutely worth it. You get delicious food privately cooked for you at the boat. They do fishing right before cooking, meaning you eat the freshest fish. It takes around 3-4 hours, a bit away from islands, you can watch sunset on the roof of a boat while they cook your dinner. Hoping to return again some day.

Located on the outskirts of North Ari Atoll, Gangehi Island Resort & Spa features a diving school, spa, and a long sand bank. It offers rooms situated over water, on the beach, or within tropical gardens. We returned to Gangehi Island Resort after spending our honeymoon here ten years ago — and honestly, it felt like coming home. Very little has changed, which we mean as a huge compliment. The same peaceful atmosphere, the same warm smiles, the same effortless kindness from everyone on the island. The resort still keeps its original Maldivian charm — natural, simple, and beautifully laid-back. The tropical vegetation is lush, and the sea is that unreal shade of blue with amazing coral just off the beach. We spotted reef sharks, rays, and even sea turtles while snorkeling. The weather was a bit mixed during our stay, but that’s part of island life — and the staff made up for it in every way. Giorgio, the General Manager, surprised us with a complimentary upgrade from half board to full board — such a generous touch, thank you! The restaurant buffet is uncomplicated but always delicious, mostly fish-based, freshly prepared and served with genuine warmth. The dessert corner deserves a special mention — fresh tropical fruits and homemade ice cream every day. The spa offers excellent massages, and our excursion (even with rough sea) was great fun with beautiful snorkeling spots. The romantic dinner at sunset, with our own waiter and chef, was truly unforgettable — especially the aperitivo at the overwater restaurant. In short, Gangehi remains an authentic Maldivian gem — friendly, relaxed, and made for pure relaxation. We loved every minute and will surely be back again.
