Hotels in the Maldives

Have to start by saying that our stay at Rattehinn exceeded our expectations. It feels home, as a one united family. Having the opportunity to interact with owners, staff and guest was invaluable and unique. If you are looking to connect with pure nature and experience true local culture this is the place for you. We cannot wait going back to Rattehinn soonest.

Of all the travels that we have done and all the hotels that we have stayed in so far, we have never experienced such an attentive host, for all the requests, be it our choice of breakfast be it arranging water sports or anything else the host went above and beyond to ensure we have a pleasant stay throughout, it is also as a very budget friendly island with all facilities available.Highly recommended for any families planning to visit Maldives to visit Gaafaru and stay in Futtaru Sands.

Property is very new and well maintained, very comfy beds and pillows, very clean rooms. Staff was very helpful and tolerant with all our questions and made our stay wonderful, staff will assist you with any trip or rentals you need. Seeyyam took excellent care of us and was always ready to assist even on WhatsApp throughout the day.

Isla Retreat is a wonderful boutique hotel situated on an amazingly beautiful local Island. The staff is very friendly rooms get cleaned twice a day, everything is an architectural and design marvel. The hotel has a private beach and also there are many other beaches on the island worth visiting. The water sports are also very nice and accessible. We simply loved it and would highly recommend to anyone to experience this place and island.

The bed and the pillows were the best and comfiest that we had in the all Maldives. The property it’s exactly as they shown in the photos. Everything clean and tidy. You have also a nice terrace to practice yoga or to read a book and chill after a sunny and hot day at the beach. They welcomed you with fresh coconuts wich is a really nice gesture. The breakfast was so complete. Different options to choose plus a lot of spreads, fruits, coffee, tea and a fresh juice of the day. They also have the filter for the water at the reception wich is really good to fill your bottles all the time. The owner of the place was really present, and welcoming us so good. They pick u up for the port when you arrive and also when you leave. Don’t hesitate to be in touch with them to arrange the transfers between the islands if you need it. Also, absolutely recommend to rent a bike to explore the island.

All of the staff were very nice and caring, all the dives were amazing, very quiet and chill environment. Meals are amazing! All the three of them.

The property was amazing. Very well maintained. The staff is amazing! The food delicious! We were blown away by the organization and Shabeen and his staff with the excursions! Hugo does everything so your stay is perfect! They pay attention to the smallest details! We would come back for sure!

And here we are at our second hotel hopping adventure! We chose to stay at this hotel not only because of how beautiful it looks, but also because of the wonderful reviews we read — and yes, they were absolutely true! Count me in as one of the happy guests who truly experienced their excellent service and cleanliness. From the moment we checked in, everything went smoothly. Special thanks to Mr. Riyaz for warmly welcoming us and sharing helpful information about the island and nearby spots. The room smelled fresh and was spotless! What impressed us most was how consistent the housekeeping team was — keeping our room clean every day and attending to our small requests with care. Their breakfast and dinner service was also excellent. I celebrated my birthday here, and they made it truly special — from a beautiful seafood dinner setup by the beach, to a homemade cake, room decorations, and even a surprise beachside dance moment where I felt like I owned the whole island! It’s amazing how attentive they were, even to guests’ birthdates. The hotel staff went above and beyond our expectations. We became friends with David Moorthi, and Sanjeewan, who always made sure we were safe and comfortable, especially at the beachside, until the moment we checked out. We also booked our excursions with them — the Manta Ray and Whale Shark tours — and on our first day, we met the amazing Mr. Pocky, known as the “Manta Man” and one of the owners of Chak’z 1964. Once you book, the team keeps you updated on when you’ll head out for the search. At first, Mr. Pocky seemed quiet and mysterious, but he truly lived up to his words: “If you dive with me, you are safe.” The moment I jumped into the ocean, he never left my side — even held my hand throught the time — and made sure other divers’ flippers didn’t hit me. My best friend’s guide also made sure she was safe at all times.
