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.

New hotel with very well thought-through design, truly friendly staff and good location. Beach is less than 10 steps away from the main entrance. Sea has big shallow area with sand as well as area with enough depth to swim comfortably. Breakfasts were very good. Hotel is a tall building so sea-view from room is fantastic. There’s a bar at the top of the hotel where you can observe entire island from, including sunset. Special complements to the hotel’s manager who was very attentive, chef and his team for easily handling special dietary requirements. Rooms cleaning was great. I wish the team continued success maintaining such a high benchmark set at opening.

Great room, very clean, nice terrace and bikini beach and restaurants really close. And we really enjoyed our stay here because of the amazing team and their good work on hospitality. Everyone was super helpful and nice all the time. Snorkeling gear and a orientation snorkeling was included and we booked one of the many excursions they offer which was amazing too. Can absolutely recommend this place if you come to mahibadhoo.

Everything has been outstanding during our stay. The room is very nice, with staff coming everyday to clean / change towels if needed. The restaurant is excellent, with a large choice of great dishes. We ended up eating there every night, on the rooftop, under the stars. Much worth it the extra 2-3$ you pay for this quality. The whale shark excursion we did with the hotel also more than achieve our expectations. Not only we were lucky to swim with them for 30min, but they also recorded outstanding pictures / videos from us, with their high quality equipment (much better than a simple go pro !). Also, if you’re here for romance, make sure you book a romantic dinner by the beach with them. The spot they build is simply the best I have seen in my two weeks vacations in the Maldives across 4 islands (including a resort island); a real no brainer ! Last but not least, the staff ! Everyone is so professional, so kind, so smiley, you immediately feel extremely comfortable ! Thank you to everyone (including the manager who is extremely well organized, always around and helpful to plan all your vacations and activities by WhatsApp ! This team is definitely the main asset of the hotel. Will with no doubt comeback one day ! Thank you whaleshark beach ! Take care !

I rarely write reviews, but with such outstanding service, I just can't help but give a perfect 10! I want to thank the hotel team for their warm welcome. They have their own speedboat that takes you from the airport to the island. At the start of the island, an electric bus picks you up and brings you directly to the hotel. What follows is a delightful surprise and a seamless check-in to a cozy room with panoramic windows, refreshing air conditioning, and a stunning view. A big thank you to the entire hotel team for: The complimentary island tour. The fact that the most beautiful beach on the island is just steps away from the hotel. The delicious breakfasts and dinners. The daily room cleaning. The nighttime fishing experience. Atif’s assistance with excursions, where he acted as a guide and ensured everything went smoothly. The team also provides plenty of free snorkeling gear, including masks, fins, and vests, which was fantastic. Special thanks for surprising my brother with a birthday cake—it was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. Atif, Ahmed, and the entire team—you’re the best! Thank you for making our stay unforgettable!

My stay was absolutely amazing. The villa has a private beach and breathtaking views of the ocean. The staff is very nice and helpful. The owner is a great person who do his best to make sure guests are comfortable and will help with everything, especially arranging transfers to and from the airport. One of the staff will pick you up at the port and take you to the villa. You can communicate with the owner via WhatsApp or in person as he stops by the villa at least once a day. The facilities of the villa are very good, nice clean rooms, housekeeping with change of towels and beach towels whenever you ask for it. Basically no mosquitoes in my room. Cold drinking water available for free 24/7. The food was absolutely delicious, prepared by fantastic chefs. I highly recommend this accommodation, it felt like home.

Exceptional experience! The rooms were very clean, the beds extremely comfortable, and the staff were incredibly kind and always ready to help with anything. When we arrived on Dhigurah Island, the sea was very rough with six-meter waves, and all our luggage got wet. The hotel staff immediately offered to wash and iron our clothes, which was truly thoughtful and kind. The food was excellent – the breakfasts were delicious, and the fish dishes were perfectly prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. All the employees are exceptionally friendly and helpful, so I can warmly recommend Hotel Dhiguveli Breeze to everyone. The hotel is also in a great location, very close to Bikini Beach.

It was a perfect family vacation thanks to the lovely staff, services, facilities and the island. We appreciated the kindness the Ayada staff showed especially towards our little child. Always gentle and helpful with a smile in their face and no matter if butler, waiter, director, kitchen chef, masseur, transportation staff. The service was always impeccable with regards to our necessities: getting organized a microwave to heat up our child's food, getting food to our room, cleaning up the room, getting some dessert to our room. Our Butler Zak was available 24/7 and very helpful for everything we needed. We even received an upgrade for our stay with a swimming pool and direct access to the beach. When asking why, they said: "Because we love you!" Food quality and variety was good as well as the SPA massage we received. The offering of sport variety was amazing from football to volleyball to tennis and kayak. We especially enjoyed our daily bike tours on the island and the infinite swimming pool with beach view at Zero Degree. The island and its nature had a lot to offer: wonderfull beach, crystal water, baby sharks, crabs, bats. An unforgettable experience we will always keep it in our heart and will regress one day for sure.

I can only say good things about Meeru Island Resort. It's an amazing place with beautiful nature, gardens and beaches. We loved everything about our stay. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, food was great, the tours well organised. The place is impeccably clean. Lots of facilities for sports and entertainment so our girls were never bored. This island is great for families as well as for couples as it is big enough and has separate facilities for people with kids and those who want to enjoy quieter time. So I never felt worried that my girls are annoying some honeymooners :)

Maafushi is, overall, a great place – the people are friendly and welcoming. The weak point is definitely the services. When it comes to hotels, don’t expect luxury. In my opinion, for what you actually get, it’s overpriced. One big plus is that Maafushi gives you more freedom. You’re not tied to a resort – you can move around, explore, go jogging if you want, and enjoy the island on your own terms. You can book trips easily, there’s stuff to do, and it doesn’t feel restrictive.

Hulhumale despite being busy like the rest of Male has an airy feel to it with lots of greenery - almost colonial. The East side is quiet for traffic although it's close to the seaplane flight paths - I didn't find that intrusive. The West side has the harbour with the ferry terminal and where the liveaboards anchor between trips. When I was there there had been a lot of recent building work so I would avoid staying there. Lots of options for buying fresh fruit and vegentables if you need and a range of places to eat at different price ranges.

We LOVED Dhiffushi!

We LOVED Dhiffushi! A real taste of a local island, the thing that struck us was how quiet and peaceful it was. We wandered everywhere on foot and loved that the roads are all sand. We were there in monsoon season and experienced some storms but they were short and everyone just gets on with stuff. There was some rubbish washed up on the non-hotel beach areas but most hotels keep their areas spotless. Both bikini beaches were absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend Dhiffushi as a real gem of a local island. As an added bonus, we could not believe how cheap everything was too!

I loved the proximity to Male for ease of arrival and departure. I also loved looking at the city lights from afar, whilst being separated by stunningly turquoise waters and the gentle sounds of lapping waves. The marine life in the lagoon was plentiful and beautiful, and I had many marine visitors near my villa at all hours of the day. The snorkelling with sharks-excursion was probably the single best experience, but the resort itself was the star of the whole experience. The quality of the villa (amazing bed, wonderful toiletries from L'Occitane, the view, the constant refill of free fresh water and Nespresso coffee) and the rest of the resort (amazing food, world-class spa) was the stuff of holiday dreams!

An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life. And mind you, I have visited many seas in many countries! For food, I recommend the restaurant at the Dhiguveli hotel and the Teapot restaurant. Getting around the island is very easy; you can reach any place quickly on foot. Don't miss going to the sandbank at one of the ends of the island.

I didn't like that the island lost most of it's green and I didn't see the wild nature I prefer. There was a lot of construction going on the moment I was there, I felt discomfort because of that. And maybe in 1-2 years it's going to be over I think. But on the other hand there's just amazing diving on the house reef and nearby reefs. There's a lot of nice restaurants and there was no day I felt bored.

The people that work there in the island are very genuine and polite and helpful, always smiling. They make your time there very pleasant. Don’t forget to tip them. Jr and Anastasia from the club house coordinators are amazing and multi talented individuals. Don’t miss their daily sport activities by the pool.
