Homestays in Mathiveri

We liked the location and the friendly staff who worked really hard to make our holiday very special The food was fabulous, excursions from the hotel and the watersports equipment and kayaks were great . Everything was perfect for us and thanks to Faisal and his team for making our time at Veli Beach so memorable.

We were extremely satisfied with the accommodation Aquatic. It exceeded our expectations not only with the room facilities but also with the approach of the manager Arey. From the beginning of the reservation until our departure, the accommodation manager was available to us. When we wanted to know something, he was always happy to advise us. This is how I imagine the manager's approach to guests. Very pleasant and helpful people. The room was large enough. We always had a bottle of water in the room. Clean accommodation with an excellent location on the island. It took us about a minute to get everywhere. A minute to breakfast, a minute to the shop, a minute to the beach. We felt very comfortable there. I definitely recommend it. One of our most beautiful holidays in the Maldives.

There are no words to describe this incredible experience at Mathiveri, a small island with simple but very kind and hospitable inhabitants. It has magnificent beaches with free sun loungers and swings, an easily accessible sand island, and a soothing sense of tranquility. Staying at Velana Vibes made us feel at home. Munzir, the owner, was always available to meet any request or need. We could use the kitchen, fully equipped for preparing our meals, the lounge area for working or enjoying conversations with friends, the machine ready for free coffee and tea at any time, and safe drinking water was always available. We are certain that Velana Vibes is the most well-maintained accomodation on the island -new and aesthetically the most beautiful, with very spacious rooms with large bathrooms and all the necessary comforts. Munzir also runs a minimarket, and his stepmother owns a souvenirs shop, ensuring that guests have access to everything they might need. He personally arranged our speedboat transfer from and to Malé, picked us up at the port, and took us back with luggage transportation included. On the first day, he even organized a mini-kart tour of the island, as a courtesy from him, so we could get to know it better. Munzir is supported by Imma, the talented chef who prepared our breakfasts and meals on deserted islands (even for special dietary needs), as well as an excellent organizer and tour guide for customized and private excursions. What really made this experience truly magical was feeling among friends, having evening conversations with Imma and Munzir, who gave us advice, clarified doubts, and helped us understand the local customs, culture, and history. They shared jokes with us and even taught us a few words in their language. On the morning of our departure, we received a wonderful surprise: a delicious chocolate cake with 'We will miss you" written on it. It left us speechless. Baraabaru!

I have been looking for cheap, simple but comfortable accommodation and I definitely found it! Ever Blue Guest House has only 4 rooms with share livingroom and also terrace dinning and kitchen which I could use. Room: comfortable bed (I like hard mattress), small fridge, TV, AC, fan, hairdryer, spacious bathroom with toilet, towels, beach towel, drying rack, daily water. What else do you wish for? Room was daily cleaned which I didn’t need. Breakfast: They always asked me what time I would like to have a breakfast and what would I like to have (I am not breakfast person plus have GF diet). I end up just with eggs and fruit but have been offered pancakes, sausages etc. Kitchen and dining area: I could use the kitchen and make my own food, coffee, tea. The great addition are also ceiling fans in dining area (they are actually everywhere) as when it’s really hot and humid this helps massively. I have to say huge thank you to the owner for helping me when weather was extremely bad and public boat was cancelled. He managed to find a private boat to take me to my next island. It was lovely to talk to him every evening and learn about his family, life on the island and much more.

The room was spotless, with brand-new furnishings (as of February 2025). The towels and bedding were high quality, and the ample seating area added to the comfort. The manager lady was exceptionally responsive and communicated flawlessly in English, making our arrival stress-free and reassuring. The room's soundproofing was remarkable—despite a short birthday party directly above us one night, barely any noise filtered through. Peaceful neighborhood with few mosquitoes. The air conditioner was placed in a small corridor leading to the bathroom, cleverly positioned away from the bed for a more restful night, which was appreciated. The bathroom was modern, with a spacious and comfortable shower, plenty of hot water, and well-stocked amenities, including high-quality shower gel and items like toothbrushes. Filtered drinking water was available when needed. Breakfast, though simple, was fresh and of good quality. I recommend trying the local coconut-tuna mixture spread over buttered roti. The attentive staff welcomed us at the harbor and took care of us throughout our stay. The highlight of our trip was a snorkeling excursion led by the friendly and knowledgeable Mr. Shah. His genuine warmth and care for our experience made it unforgettable. In a couple of hours, we swam with a manta ray, explored a vibrant coral reef, and encountered large sharks and a stingray. Ali Shah is a warm-hearted host and a fun company.

La Pearl hotel is an excellent choice for your stay. The hotel boasts a fantastic location,is newly built and beautifully designed. The ambiance is delightful and the rooftop offers breathtaking views. The food in hotel restaurant was absolutely out of heaven! However, the true highlight of La Pearl is its people. The staff are genuinely warm, friendly and accommodating. They go above and beyond to meet every need, always greeting guests with smiles and cheerful energy. Their kindness made us feel not just like visitors but like part of their family. Staying at La Pearl was an unforgettable experience and we will return. Highly recommend!

Simply put, we had a wonderful stay. The hotel is probably the best you can get in Mathiveri. It is brand new, with very nice, bright, well equipped, and clean rooms. The personnel did their best to make our stay great. The included breakfast was excellent, with plenty of quality food. Dinner can be also served at the hotel, and it was delicious (offers wider selection, but we focused mainly on grilled reef fish). Good restaurants nearby. The hotel has a convenient location, too. The 3 minutes’ walk to the bikini beach (which is amazing!) through a very nice forest path (that offers protection from sun burns). Highly recommended.

Anwar is the best person and worker for that you can find in order to make your stay here memorable, it will make you feel like you are part of their family and that makes the difference, it's because of everything and their care and attention to make you feel good and have everything what you need is more than remarkable, anywhere a person goes what they take with them is humane treatment, because everywhere there are beautiful places and things to do and see, but wherever you go they turn away for you like Anwar the memory and friendship that is created stays forever. great professional best person and a friend for life. thank you for being like this. friend, cousin, brother.

The hotel is very nice, in local style. I liked its style a lot. It is clean, new towel and beach towels are provided every day. The hotel is 20 m from the wonderful beach with house reef. Personal was very freundly. I was there with my 6 years old daugther, my daughter had a great time too. I can recommend the hotel for families too. I am sure we will come back here we had such a great time.

It was really clean and well kept. The owner and his family were very nice and keen to ensure that the you have a good stay. He arranged everything for us - transfers from Mali, excursions etc. He was willing to accommodate when we wanted a slightly later breakfast. Dinners in were great - my son wanted to eat there every evening.
