Location
Paradise Retreat Hotel is located on Maafushi Island in the Maldives, approximately 30 km from Malé International Airport (MLE). The hotel sits in the Landscape area of Bahaaree Higun, about 500 meters from the public Bikini sandy beach. Water activities such as snorkeling, diving, and other water sports are available nearby for an additional fee. The hotel is not immediately adjacent to the port, which can be a consideration when arriving or departing. Nearby you will find several cafes on the island, although the hotel itself is set apart from the busiest beach areas.
