Accessible Hotels in Mahibadhoo

We only spent one night on the island, but everyone was very helpful and friendly. I can only recommend!

- well maintained, new hotel - friendly staff - close to the beach - good breakfast

To the island Mahibadhoo we have came by the speed boat from the capital (35$ per person). Beautiful 5 days there. Perfect weather, friendly people, more developed island than the north Island Dharavandhoo but each island is specific on their own way, have different beaches, new food to try:) Compared to the northern island Dharavandhoo, the Mahibadhoo has cusine more oriented to tourist so they mixed local cuisine with continental and it was really good, not spicy (but only if you ask them), always fresh fish and big portions hehe The hotel offers different external activities and we have chosen scuba diving which was really great. First we had like a small lecture by the mentor named Frutti and later we left with him for diving. The cigarettes are like 7 euros, and we couldn't find local fresh juices like in the North but the beaches are more beautiful and highly recommended to bring your equipment for snorkeling but even if you forget the hotel will borrow it without the problem:) Paying - in general be careful everywhere in Maldives to pay with new bills because specifically in the capital Male they won't accept old bills like the bills before 2010! In the South 1 dollar is 10 Maldivian rufiyaa whilst in the North is 15 rufiyaa. Don't know why is that, but they accept without the problem dollars, accept rufiyaa and if you like credit card I truly recommend to get a Revolut card because it has the best rate and you will actually pay the real price no conversion or provision will be added! Finally, as we were there during the Christmas that have prepared for us a special dinner at the beach and it was really something:)

Everything was great, breakfast was well organised, the choice is small but very tasty and changing every day. Staff is very welcoming and helpful, they were asking us every day if everything was good. It is a perfect value for the price.

Ari Grand Hotel on Dhangethi Island exceeded all expectations during my recent stay. The friendly staff made me feel truly at home from the moment I arrived. The clean swimming pool and inviting garden sofas were perfect for relaxation and work. The spacious room, along with the unexpected upgrade to the Jacuzzi Suite, added a touch of luxury to my experience. Breakfast was a delightful treat each morning, with a variety of delicious options. I'm already planning my next visit to this serene oasis. Thank you, Ari Grand Hotel, for an unforgettable getaway!

The best touristic experience of our life. The seaplane transfer was well organized, only 25 minutes to the island from MLE. We stayed 7 days in a beach villa, close to the peer. It was comfy, spacious and always very clean thanks to Esa from the maintenance compartment. The staff was very helpful, the kitchen was variable and really delicious. I have to say thanks to Ali and Sonjeet, they were extreme friendly and kind. Such as at the restaurant we had Heidi, Muneeb and Visham and the whole stuff; so wonderful people who are there for every moment to make our holiday even better then best! Nova is brand new, with an exceptional house reef and great sealife. Dive spots are really good, wreck dive can be done. Thanks to Tanya who was a great dive instructor for my AOWD course, and she was very patient and kind to my 8y old doughter at the boublemaker program. Do not miss the whaleshark watching! It was a breathtaking moment to see such a big fish so close to you. It was our 4th time in Maldives, but this experience is a different level then the others. Its really touched our soul! We (and chocolate the giraffe) gonna come back for sure! Thanks Nova!

Very clean and comfortable and room. I had a great time staying here! Mohammed took great care of the guest and prepared delicious breakfast. One day he made local breakfast which was amazing. We be nice if they had it every day.
