3 star hotels in Maldives

Not a bad hotel, located on the coast, breakfast is modest, location is excellent, there was a damp smell in the room.

The hotel is beachfront, just a stone's throw from the beach. The staff are very friendly, the room is clean, and they clean and change towels daily. I had breakfast and dinner included – everything was delicious. For main courses, there was a choice of tuna or chicken, plus sides like rice, potatoes, noodles, vegetables, and desserts. Breakfast was a buffet with a very tasty local snack called Mas...

A very nice hotel, located on the waterfront in a wonderful location. The staff was excellent; we were met at the pier, helped with all our questions, and even driven back. Cleaning is twice a day. Breakfast was included, costing $6. It's a buffet with plenty of choice, unlike other places where breakfast is limited. The lobby is beautiful, and drinking water is always available.

Nice, very clean and comfortable hotel, friendly staff, daily new towels for room and others beach. Hotel also provides drinking water in glas bottles which minimizes the garbage. Buffet was tasty and with enough choices. Once there were only few guests left (end of the season) they served ala carte and had also plenty of options. Beach is just in front of the hotel divided by few palm trees. It's...

It’s one of the best hotels for a relaxing stay, offering spacious rooms, full-board meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) with various options, and exceptional hospitality from the staff. The white sandy beach is just a short walk away. They have a bath tub in the room as well. Plus point!

we were a family & we chose west sands. The family room was clean with non-beach view. The rooms were comfortable & very close access to the beach,. liked the sustainable feature like no plastic bottles but they helped with glass water bottles filled for guests. we could enjoy the sunrise & sunset & also spot the milky way

Host and staff were friendly and the room was clean. They offer laundry services as well, which are reasonably priced. Unfortunately, they do not let you pay in cash in rufiyaa, it’s USD for everything. I am subtracting one star for the following reasons: -The tours offered through the hotel are outrageously overpriced. They offered a snorkeling safari (snorkeling at three different spots) for 70...

This guesthouse was truly amazing. We stayed here with my sisters and the kids ans the host Shafeeg did such a wonderful job at hosting. He arranged everything we wanted. His hospitality was unmatched. This place was clean and just one minute away from the beach. If you are looking for a place thats private and cozy. This is the perfect place. Love our stay in Ukulhas. It’s definitely one of the best...

I’ve spent just one night (my last one) here as my previous accommodation was brutally overpriced. Guest house seems fine, you have everything what you need (apart of the fact that my room didn’t have any soup and shampoo which was fine by me). Quite, close to harbour and beach. Lucky who is managing this property is lovely, helpful and professional guy who answered all my questions, helped me with...

This is an intimate lodge on the island of Ukulhas, with only four rooms, in contrast to many of the bigger box hotels. The room is somewhat spacious, with high ceiling, lots of natural light, and very clean. The electrical and wifi are good, and the AC not bad. A nice breakfast is included with the stay. Mattresses are very comfortable - a rare instance where you actually have a mattress top. Staff...

The hotel is located in the middle of the residential island, about 7-8 minutes' walk from the best northern beach where you can swim. The hotel service is very good, providing simple breakfast, and the kitchen is also available for guests to use. The room was clean, had air conditioning and a fan.

The place is quite a decent guesthouse. It is a bit depressing. We stayed here for two nights; it was okay, but not the best. The toilet was old and not clean. The room is dark. Although nothing is far on this island, this place is not at the beach. The crew is friendly!

A fabulous small hotel on a lovely island: a great introduction to Maldevian life for us. Access by speedboat from Male Airport is straightforward, although strong winds made the crossing rough in the 17 seater Coral Speed Boat: better to travel in the 60 seater, although I think that they decide which boats are used each day. Sheena met us off the boat at Ukulhas and it was a short buggy ride to...

Clean and cozy rooms. Nice and friendly stuff... Perfect start for my vacation.

Just a fabulous holiday on Ukulas! The girls met us at the pier, drove us, helped with our luggage, and treated us to coconuts. The room was also pleasant: spacious, clean, with all amenities. There is a foot wash in front of the room to avoid dragging sand inside. Breakfast to choose from menu. Lunch and dinner at a restaurant nearby in buffet mode. The beach is within walking distance. Clear, rich...

Our family (3kids and 2 adults) spent 9 nights in Sealavie and it was very difficult to leave. Hotel staff was amazing, they helped us with everything possible. We got fishing trips from the beach), private dinner under the stars in the hotel garden, assistance in visiting a doctor (and gave us medicine before that), delicious breakfasts which we could choose from a menu, etc. Several times per day...

We travel a lot, visited 4 islands in the Maldives. This hotel always has hot water, freshly prepared varied breakfasts, delicious coffee, good Wi-Fi and everything for your comfort. An important value of this magical place is the attitude towards guests. SeaLaVie impressed us with his main idea - Fazeel's team strives to make every person happier! You feel it every day and we fell in love with this...

Our stay in Sea la Vie exceeded our expectations! The place is very well decorated from the inside out, the rooms are spacious and sparkling clean and the staff is very friendly, efficient and always willing to help you with anything you need with a big smile☺️. Breakfast is delicious (try the maldivian options!), not to mention the coffee, the best in town! The location is perfect, just minutes walking...

The hotel is amazing, super well located, very close to Bikini Beach, and the staff are incredibly kind — always friendly and smiling. They have beach towels ready for you whenever you need them, and an upstairs terrace area where you can hang your clothes or just hang out in the evening. There are also several tables near the entrance where you can relax or chat with other travelers. Filtered water...

Amazing stay & genuine Maldivian hospitality We stayed at Acqua Blu Rasdhoo from **3–7 January 2025 with our family of four, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived on the island, Roohol Ameen, the manager, personally picked us up and welcomed us with open arms and a genuine smile. His hospitality, care, and attention never faded throughout our stay. The cook, Nazmul was...

Amazing hotel with great hosts! Ameen was very friendly and helpful with arranging our stay, the breakfast was so so good and the room was clean and well equipped. He and Alu took us to great diving spots with lots of mantas, turtles and sharks. The service was truly exceptional. The only thing that could be improved in the future was the wifi connection in the room, but this is a minor recommendation...

I was very satisfied with my short stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Ameen who manage this place. The place is very convenient, just a few minutes walk from the beach. I joined their snorkeling activities and the guide was perfect! Thanks to him, I was able to swim with turtles, eagle rays and a lot of fish! I highly recommend Acqua Blue.

My experience here has been really great. The staff in the guest rooms are polite and enthusiastic. There are many beautiful sceneries on and around the island. You can also play sports like football or water volleyball with the locals here. I had a very good experience.The details of the guest room I stayed in and the hotel breakfast are attached in the picture.

A lovely guest house with great comfortable rooms and fantastic staff who go above and beyond to make your stay fabulous.

Very nice guest house, little bit uncomfortable room when you’re 3 since one bed is on the wheels . Great location and amazing helpful staff. Be careful with bikes from them since they are old and not great for driving around. Overall nice experience for the money

Overall I liked everything. We can recommend it. It was a 15-20 minute walk to the sea, we rode mostly on bicycles, which were provided by the guesthouse. But, unfortunately, they are in poor condition.

Everything was wonderful! Thanks to the attentive and friendly hosts!!!

The room is very spacious and has nice patio, the bathroom is large and the bed is comfortable. The internet works fine when other guest are not using it, but slows down considerably during peak usage hours. We were using it for work, and we had to switch to our mobile internet during peak hours. The owners are amazing people, very kind and welcoming, although their English language is very limited...

The guesthouse is probably one of the furthest from the two bikini beaches, equally distant 15min walk. We were 10 guests and had only 5 bicycles available hence a lot of walking. They speak very little English, they do not explain well the services they offer and it is a shame because they make very good food (you have to tell them in advance you want to have dinner within the facility). You have...

We stayed for 9 nights in this GuestHouse and in total we had a pretty good time. The owners don't speak much English and this affected communication... "Maria's" cuisine is very good and typical Maldivian. Unfortunately, having 12 beds, it only provides 5/6 indispensable bicycles as the island is very large and very hot. The daily cleanliness of the room is good, the bathroom... well... If they took...

We were two couples, the location was perfect, the rooms with simple, comfortable, and clean bathrooms had air conditioning and a fan, and the service was friendly and welcoming. We recommend booking your round-trip transfer to Malé with them. The underwater scenery was breathtaking, the best part. For scuba diving and snorkeling, we recommend Acqua Adventure; the staff are locals, super professional...

At first I want to write that this was a cheapest hotel on the whole Maldives. In this context the quality equals the price. Nothing less, nothing more. But the photos etc. on the web look like much better than reality. Guest house is a little rusty. Hot water doesnt work, no lamp in the room, just big lights on the ceiling. Impossible to let on any light and children sleep.  Garden is nice but not...

everything was perfect!!! such a beautiful experience! the owner organized some excursions for us and it was magical!!!

I spent excellent time in Beach Veli, but thanks to Smarika who always looked out for us🙏🏻 very kind, polite and helpful! They got good breakfast and nice excursions

I deeply appreciate the effort the staff put into making my stay pleasant. I want to give a special thanks to Smarika, who handled my breakfast; her kindness and care ensured a great start to every day. I am also grateful to the hosts for the gesture of upgrading my room at no extra cost, allowing me to enjoy natural light. A truly hospitable attitude that I salute.

I spent 1 month at Beach Veli while I was doing my Divemaster course with Dive Ukulhas. I was very happy staying there. My room was clean and quiet. I had the local breakfast option everyday, it was delicious! Karissa and Krishna were around everyday always saying hello and asking if I needed anything. It’s in a nice location, near a lot of restaurants and straight across from the nicest beach on the...

The Guest House is just a few steps away from the beach, on the side of sunrise. It has the best part of the beach at this time of the year and the shadow from wild hibiscus trees where you can have the shade during the midday. I stayed from 24th till 9th January 2022. Met some very beautiful guests who were staying there and it was a lovely environment. The host, Mandy is simply amazing. She is part...

Incredible stat. Simple practice. Right on the beach . The room big . But the most inportant the staff very very friendly ajd help us in everythink

Had a lovely two weeks on Ukulhas staying at Beach Veli.. staff were very efficient , friendly and helpful and the owner was fantastic... Tohl went out of his way to ALWAYS make sure everything was perfect... you name it - Swimming with Manta rays, Swimming with sharks, Whaleshark tours, night fishing.... he organised everything effortlessly... he also has a dive school which we will definitely use...

Island resort, 40 minutes boat ride away from male. Rooms, food, location is simply fantastic. You will see reef sharks wandering in clean house reef water. Snorkel, scuba, surfing everything is available. Staff service though needs to be better. The staff behavior of this resort is not kid friendly.

Biyadhoo Island Resort is a private property. It's a good resort. Total coverage area is huge , surrounded by four sides sea. From airport they will pickup for resort by speed boat. It will takes around 45 minutes. Room is normal, not so luxurious. This resort charged with 3 times meal Food quality and taste was good. Staffs behaviour is friendly. You can see their plenty Bangladeshi workers are working...

If you want to have private time for your holiday gateway Biyadhoo is one of a best choice. The island is small and have nice beaches around. You can hear the beach waves when you are in the room which is really nice thing. The food is good and tasty. But Rooms are very old, bathroom is not quite good need renovation. We barely had any contact with the staffs. We went for our first wedding anniversary...

We had a wonderful time in Biyadhoo. The beach is beautiful, the island very well kept, cleaned and gardened constantly. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and go out of their way to help. The food is wonderful, lots of fresh vegetables and a huge variety of dishes for every meal. And our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The rooms cleaned and fresh towels supplied morning and evening...

One of the nice and affordable place. New year eve was nicely arranged. Should have kept food counter open for little more longer. Drinks unlimited, but would be much better if more variety would have been kept. New year celebration was not much happening, No fire works, but service and ambience is very nice. Open air dinner buffet. I would love to go again

Amazing place if you are looking for Pvt Island within budget holiday in Maldives. Amazing food, you can't skip desert specially. You will have your own allocated dining table, waiter and room boy for room service. They will gift you and arrange something special if you have came for certain occasion. Small gesture like each and every person at any point of time will greet you. Good place for snorkeling

If you are looking for an extraordinary experience, this is the place for you! My positive experience started when I needed to make changes to my reservation. The hotel team made it simple and easy this first time. They also helped me coordinate the speedboat ride from the airport, even checking in with me to ensure I got on the boat. My thanks to entire team including Noor (housekeeping), Linda and...

The hotel room was ok (small room & bed (clean), broken safe, construction site right outside the window, curtains with holes). The Spa was ok (ordered an alo massage for sunburn, got a mild torture session). The restaurant is delicious with great service.

We didn’t stay here but ate in the beachside restaurant on several occasions. It was lovely, stunning setting, really nice food and staff were amazing. Thank you for looking after us. Had great touches like mosquito coils burning and repellent on the table. We used the sun loungers all day and bought drinks and lunch which was perfect for us.

We spent six wonderful nights here. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. The rooms are super clean, the food is fantastic. Absolutely professional. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend this place!

We were a group of 14 travelling with WeRoad on the trip “Discovering Ukulhas”, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The rooms were very clean and welcoming, with fresh towels provided daily – including beach towels, which was a great touch. Some of us also used the laundry service, which was both affordable and efficient. Breakfast was always provided and absolutely delicious. But what...

I stayed at Bliss for 4 nights and had a wonderful experience. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was small, but not a problem, since not much time was spent there. Beach access is just across the street, which was lovely. The island is so small, you can walk from one end to the other! The room was very clean and was mopped twice a day.

We spent 11 nights at Bliss Dhigurah and we have wonderful memories of it! It’s a simple, charming and really pleasant hotel. The rooms are cosy, clean, with an extremely comfortable bed (we slept so well!). The team is lovely: always smiling, kind and attentive. We loved chatting with Soraya every time we came back from diving – she’s truly thoughtful. Bikini Beach is just a 5-minute walk away and...

Great experience here - it was right beside bikini beach and the staff were excellent! They helped us organize speedboat ferries to and from the airport, a Tuk Tuk to and from the ferry to the hotel, and a whale shark tour. They also had snorkelling equipment that we could use and swim at a coral in walking distance from the hotel. Everything was great, we’d highly recommend!

I stayed in one of the lofts at bliss for five nights with friends. Our stay was wonderful. Our loft was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. The little private outdoor area was great for wet things and to shower off the sand before coming into our room. The location within a very short walk is ideal. Especially in comparison to many other accommodation options that are closer to the marina...

Our stay at Bliss Dhigurah Hotel was simply perfect. It exceeded all our expectations. The food was incredibly delicious and varied – every meal was a real pleasure. The staff were amazingly kind, attentive, and helpful – truly lovely people who did everything to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The beach was stunning: crystal-clear water, white sand, and a peaceful, paradise-like atmosphere...

The upstairs jacuzzi is closed. There's a strong sewer smell.

A wonderful stay at the hotel. True, everyone is taking their time, but that's the way of life in the Maldives, and after two days you get used to the slower pace. The girls at reception are happy to help with any questions you may have. Overall, the staff is excellent and strives to make your stay wonderful.

Great experience in the maldives, getting to see the local community, beach right infront of you, Restaurant is amazing as well. Although it rained 60% of the time, i had Great service from the hotel. Would love to visit Maldives again sometime.

Great place to stay. The rooms are very comfortable, we stayed in a nice view room which shows the amazing beach. The staff are friendly and helpful. The only thing which was lacking is there was no TV service available in the property. The room has a TV but no channels. We arrived on the 3rd day of Euro 24 and was planing to watch the matches at room but unfortunately no channels. Not even...

The service was great for the whole time we stayed in this hotel. We were also allowed to keep our room longer until the speedboat arrived

Accommodation excelent! Food delicious, but the best of the hotel is the staff ! Very Good people and kind❤️ we enjoyed the beach, sunrise and excursions. Watching the dolphins was an amazing experience. Snorkeling with turtles and sandbank picnic.

Guest house jest bardzo czysty, pokoje są bardzo ładne, duże, czyste. Sprzątane codziennie, ręczniki wymieniane również codziennie (mieszkaliśmy w nowej części w pokoju z widokiem na ocean). Wygodne łóżka, sprawna klimatyzacja i bardzo dobry i szybki internet. Posiłki serwowane w restauracji The Kettel były znakomite. Plaża zaraz obok. Ładna i czysta. Leżaki w cenie pobytu

Nice and very clean hotel that’s a few steps from the beach. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Hotel is clean and good locations

Nice hotel overall. The room was just the right size for two people, and the bathroom was clean. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. They even assisted with our luggage. We had a good dinner at the hotel. Breakfast was simple but enough to start the day. Airport transfer is free, which was very convenient. The hotel can also call a taxi if you want to visit Malé. Best part is the location...

we have dinner at the hotel and the spaghetti is delicious. Breakfast in next morning is good, toast and coffee is my favor.

The service from the front desk staff Abhilish is great! He recommended us a few activities which we enjoyed very much - diving and going to the SAii Lagoon 1-day pass. The breakfast buffet spread is quite limited in variety but you cannot expect much with a price like this. However, the dinner at the Red Snapper & Coffee Bean Reserve at the Rooftop was good - I recommend the grilled Red Snapper. The...

Everything was well arranged and valued for money. We arrived at midnight and everything was well organised from our arrival, airport pickup, breakfast till departure. All the staff was excellent like Abhishek from Reception and Arfas from Breakfast. Amazing people and service

Perhaps it's only worth booking a sea-view room at this hotel. The rooms in the middle don't have balconies, while those on the ends do, but they face other buildings just a meter away and there's ongoing construction. There are cafes on the ground floors, and even though I was on the 4th floor, the clatter of dishes, conversations, and shouting sounded as if it was all happening right in my room....

First impression was quite good, the check in was quite fast but it's not very easy to find the reception as it's behind a cafe. It was weird that the 6$ tax can be only collected in use, they don't accept their own local currency! I was given the room 502, which is on the ground floor on the back side. The employee who showed me to the room first tried to open another room by mistake which was funny...

Taking a taxi from the airport costs about 10 USD. The room is quite small, and the environment is pretty basic, comparable to a lower-end budget hotel in China. The main upside is the affordable price. There's a nice beach right opposite the hotel, so if you have more time, you could consider a sea-view room. Service was good; even though there's an elevator, they still helped us take our luggage...

Suitable for a one-night transit stay. Overall the hotel is clean and good. The staff are friendly and it’s a convenient place for a short stop.

We had a great experience at Huvan Beach. Beach breeze and the fresh air made it even better. Loved the location and the food.

Nice spot along the beach- the water is beautiful but there is trash and plenty little biting flies ,so be prepared and remember that it’s a basic spot for transit and you won’t be disappointed. Typical breakfast with scrambled eggs, beans, fruit, and some bread choices. If your booking doesn’t include breakfast, there are other options along the sea that may be tastier. Bed and room were small, with...

The hotel's location and views are fantastic. The room was clean and had plenty of hot water, but unfortunately, there was no balcony.

Very beautiful, good reception, good location, convenient travel. Delicious food.. The staff took care of us and gave us a good welcome.. Clean room, close to local food sources. Going to the Maldives again, will book this hotel again. Thank you.

Hotels in Male are similar, this one is newly renovated, but the surrounding environment is not very good

Close to the sea, the external environment is not bad, the room is small, the price is indeed more expensive than in China, the food is not fancy, very ordinary Western fast food. The price-performance ratio is not good, but it is neither good nor bad. But they said they could pick me up at the airport, but later they said the car broke down, which made me a little unhappy.

The price is too expensive. Average hotel

Nice new hotel. Good location in front of the beach, clean rooms with a nice view, new amenities look pretty fashionable. It's my 2nd stay here. Highly recommended

Very nice one night stay with airport transfer service arranged. Good service and convenient location next to Main Street. Restaurants and shops are nearby.

The places was alright, facilities was good. Just that there is a construction nearby, very noisy

Customer service is very nice and supportive, and they brought us to the nice restaurant nearby, very reasonable price and good taste.

The location is convenient, around 15 minutes driving to the airport. Hotel also provides transfer from and to the airport and they directly communicate to your resort to arrange transfer time as well. Breakfast was also quite good. Can recommend staying in this hotel.

This is a great transit hotel. The front desk staff were professional and friendly, and the room was very clean. The hotel's location is close to a public beach, and there are also cafes and deli shops nearby, so you'll never run out of places to explore. They can also help call a taxi if you need to go to Malé Island. The airport transfer confirmation and arrangements were very professional and seamless...

Very clean hotel which is 2 mins to the beach and 5 mins to cafes and souvenir shops/grocery shop. Very helpful and friendly staff who respond to email enquires very promptly! You have a choice for breakfast, either at the lobby or walk to the ocean front in a min and enjoy the good seaview when having delicious breakfast which has a good spread and fresh too. The curry puffs were crispy and delicious

very good，very clean，very roomy good choice staffs waiting for us in airport and take us to hotel help us take luggage thanks

I booked Star Shell for very first time as a resident who working and living in Maldives via trip.com. Price is reasonable. The check in was quick and simple. Staff were very helpful. The room is lovely. However, if you are sensitive to the noise then I am not recommended, because you can hear the car noise from road. My room got lonely view far from sea and shade from tree. Very basic amenities...

We had a wonderful experience at Hotel Star Shell. Despite arriving close to midnight, the hotel thoughtfully arranged a late airport transfer for us at a very reasonable rate, which was greatly appreciated after a long journey. The hotel’s close proximity to the airport makes it extremely convenient, and the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. A special shout-out to Mr. Abdul...

Although we respected and complied with the hotel’s management policies, our stay was deeply disappointing due to restrictive rules that we were not made aware of prior to arrival. My partner, who is Maldivian, and I faced significant discomfort throughout our visit because of regulations that directly impacted us as a couple. This review is intended as sincere caution for others. If you are planning...

Near to the beach. Room is acceptable, but toilet a bit small. Bad sound insolution, you can hear the voice from street clearly. Simple breakfast provided. Nice view from the restaurant on top floor.

close to the airport, perfect for a one night stay if you arrive at male late at night.

The main reason why I chose this hotel was an on offer for Diamond user, on the app it was stated that I can check in from 10 am which was perfect. However the early check in was not guaranteed, I don't know whose responsibility is that, Trip.com or hotel. I tried to contact the hotel but it was almost impossible. When I arrived about 10.30 am the receptionist stated that no rooms are available but...

This hotel is fine for a one-night stay, conveniently located just a 10-minute taxi ride from the airport. Our room was quiet. The breakfast was standard and simple: eggs, sausages, beans, toast, butter, and for fruit, watermelon and oranges. However, the room itself felt a bit tired, and the ceiling fan was dirty. But the absolute worst part was the mattress! It was incredibly hard, like a wooden...

Stayed one night at Terminal 27. The good: Staff were genuinely friendly and attentive.  The service was definitely the highlight.  The room was clean, and breakfast was decent for a hotel of this size.  The morning staff in particular were amazing and really stood out. The not-so-good: Noise is a real issue.  Even after switching from a balcony room to one behind the main road, it was still quite...

This hotel could be an option for a layover, as it's relatively close to the airport. You can get there by bus or taxi.

I stayed one night because of a flight arriving in the evening and not being able to take a direct speedboat. The stay and price were decent for this purpose. Pros: Good location close to the airport, if proximity to the airport is important. Clean place. Simple breakfast included. Room is nice. The check-in is until 23.00 but because of flight delay I arrived 15 minutes later and they were very...

The best hotel so far! It’s clean and comfortable. The bell boy and the lady at the counter are both helpful.

This hotel is fine just have two problems not very clean and no elevator but the stuff and location is cool. Just need to be clean enough

Convenient location at beach side, may restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Good deal for transit stay over.

Great location, free airport transfer, easy access to shopping.

They provided me with free transfer to the airport, they are polite and service-oriented. Value for money hotel.

The hotel is convenient in location for arrivals, the staff was very friendly and nice food. Very close to Hulhumale Beach BUT they need to improve on refurbishing the place to look more modern. The mattress was so very soft that I could sink in. I recommend just for 1 night stay.

Everything was good, except no elevator. Got free airport shuttle, most convenience. They upgrade our room... thank you. The food from inhouse cafe was tasty. The hotel facing the beach. Good enough for 1 night transit to catch flight back to home country the next day.
