3 star hotels in Maldives

Quite a small hotel, but very well maintained. The person running it was very attentive and kept everything very clean. It is ideal if you are traveling with a small group, as was our case.

Awesome service, very beautiful rooms, new everything... And the owner so lovely

Aoulad was helpful. TV service wasn't paid, But there is WiFi. There is smell of sulfur from water, great price for the location and services. We Will visit again. You should to Maldives for mor the 7 days if you are coming from far away.. kind and amazing service.

We stayed for 4 nights and everything was great. Staff super friendly. Good breakfast in nearby restaurant. Comfy rooms with great shower. Would recommend staying here while in Ukulhas.

We had a lovely time at the Island Home! The staff are incredible, attentive, and friendly. The location is great–you're right next to the beach and very close to shops and restaurants. The beds are comfy, the showers are great and have good pressure, and so on. The wifi was a bit spotty at times, especially during storms, but why be on the internet when you're in paradise anyway?

Really nice place. I have stayed in a number of guests house across the Maldives and frankly this place is really nice. Rooms are well thought out, clean and mostly very well maintained. The whole place is nicely organized, staff is really friendly and helpful. The island as a whole is super clean and the Sea so close by is great for snorkeling... Saw plenty of small reef sharks, turtles and the...

We stayed for a week at Drift Thelu Veliga. Very small and very peaceful island. What I liked: Our room. We stayed in the last Water Villa at Jetty (we paid a supplement for this) with excellent views and privacy. Snorkeling is good. Lots of colorful coral and lots of small fish always surrounding us. Occasional sightings of sharks, rays and eels. The lagoon next to the restaurant is amazing with...

A quiet sanctuary where silence, privacy, and untouched nature embrace you. The island is surrounded by vibrant reefs and extraordinary wildlife, inviting you to slow down and simply observe. Everything here carries a gentle, beautiful energy. Yet the true soul of this island lives in its people. They are its greatest treasure. Their kindness, care, and sincere smiles add a depth and warmth that stays...

Drift was a total surprise . A very small island but with everything one needs to have a wonderful island getaway. Island is beautiful - a tropical paradise. Beautiful beach. Water villas are outstanding , big and spacious with a big deck giving access to the sea. Food is so good and fresh. We were treated to such a varied and tasty menu. The buffet has something to satisfy all tastes. The scuba diving...

The island is very small with 30 rooms. It is very calm and super relaxing! We booked a water villa and it was simply amazing to wake up everyday and see the ocean. Our villa was on the ocean side which is better since you have more privacy. The other side is Laguna and it faces on the beach where are located the beach villas indeed. All the staff is great especially Hari from the bar. Special thanks...

Another absolutely fantastic trip to Drift. Pure relaxation Every member of staff are always smiling, eager to help and great fun. We stayed for three weeks on this paradise Island for a true Maldivian experience and cannot wait to return next year hopefully. As always Angel Fish organised everything to perfection arranging the perfect stay. Maria and all the staff made us feel totally at home again...

We had an amazing week at Drift Retreat and can totally recommend it to everyone! This little island is absolutely beautiful, the perfect place to relax and disconnect from everyday life. Sleeping in a water villa was such a special experience. The house reef is stunning — we swam with sharks, a spotted eagle ray, and even a turtle. There are so many colorful little fish, and we spotted at least 1...

TME Retreats (Beach House) has around 35 rooms spread across several buildings. We stayed in the beach house and had a spacious, comfortable room with a nice small terrace, which was perfect for relaxing. Breakfast is a small buffet and quite simple, which is understandable for a smaller hotel. It usually includes eggs (boiled or scrambled), toast, and a tuna/egg mix, with omelets available on some...

Mars Ocampo so an EXCELLENT Manager. I got difficulties to reach the Island due to the floods in Sri Lanka, she was available 24/7 for questions and inquiries. The Room was spacious, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Big, Continental breakfast. Thank You very much for the Beautiful stay in Dhigurah.

We were four adults the room was quite large and comfortable, large bathroom , clean and supplied of all you may need. Fresh water everyday together with beach towel and toilette ones. 30 meters from the beach but this is almost for all. Staff very nice and friedly good breakfast but allow me to say that for lunch and dinner there is room to do something better and more creative. Overall the manager...

The environment is clean, the staff is professional, the kitchen needs to be improved and should offer a slightly wider service. As for the diving center, I'm fine to much expensive 67$ is to much . But Everything is very nice. The only thing I didn't like was the two French guys, I found them unprofessional and too arrogant, as for the underwater visit, it's definitely worth it for the issue related...

My stay at TME Retreats on Dhigurah Island was absolutely amazing! 🌴 The island is full of greenery and surrounded by gorgeous beaches with beautiful sand and clear water, creating the perfect environment for relaxation. 🏖️ The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, always ready to fulfill all our wishes. 😊 In truth, I was expecting a small diving center with a couple of rooms and only an omelette...

There is a reason we have been to this island so many times! TME are amazing. Our accommodation was perfect and we had the most amazing time. I can't wait to be back again!

We loved our stay at Whaleshark Beach, the excursions are world class. Majuudee the snorkelling guide, is calm, kind and very knowledgeable. You can snorkel with whalesharks, manta rays, nurse sharks and sting rays, it is incredible! All staff in the hotel are helpful, the chef is amazing - we loved all the food at the hotels' Remora restaurant. It's a quiet time to visit at the moment which made the...

aleshark Beach Hotel was truly exceptional – a perfect 5-star experience in every way. The rooms were spotless and beautifully maintained, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment we arrived. What really made our stay unforgettable, however, was the incredible staff. They were not only extremely friendly and welcoming, but also genuinely caring and attentive. During Jacob’s illness...

We stayed at whaleshark beach for 4 night 5 days, it was very lovely and cozy, it’s quiet new and i found out it has very good sound proofing, staffs were excellent, very friendly and has a lot of knowledge about the island, hotel also helps organize dives and different excursions to see turtles, whale-sharks and sandbank trips, food was excellent, with different varieties and recommendations for...

Rooms are spacious and extremely clean. The staff and management are always polite and helpful, going out of their way even when I showed up unprepared. The restaurant is nice and worth trying. For improvements, organizing trips would be much easier with an online reservation system where guests can book and follow up in advance. The whaleshark safari could also be more interesting beyond just hunting...

Best choice! The rooms were very clean (cleaned every day, with fresh towels and drinking water replenished daily). Air conditioning worked well and Wi-fi was good. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The hotel can arrange everything for you – trips to see sharks, manta rays, whale sharks, and more. They also organize snorkel and mask rentals, as well as scooter rentals, very quickly. Everything...

We arrived in Dhigurah on 2 January, after a long journey, in the evening, and were warmly welcomed by the Whaleshark staff. We were immediately struck by the beauty of the building, the spaciousness and cleanliness of the room, and the quality of the food in the hotel restaurant, located on a charming, well-lit rooftop, where we enjoyed the best meals of our entire holiday (we also tried other restaurants...

I absolutely loved my experience here. The room was spacious and very clean. What truly sets this hotel apart from others is the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. A special shoutout to Nasem and Sachin — our family especially adored Nasem. He’s such a warm and friendly person, always smiling, helpful, and ready to assist anytime, anywhere. To Nasem, we hope you’re having a wonderful day. We...

Nice hotel located near jetty of Maafushi Maldives Local Island. Easy to find restaurants, shops n water tours activities companies. Good for those like water sport activities.

A nice hotel with super kind staff, fine breakfast, good dinner at the beach (the soups were great!). It has clean and big rooms,

Very helpful and caring staff and great massages

Good breakfast, close to the beach

The location was nice. They food was good. They organised a beach party that was fun. Room decoration was good.

Wonderful. Thank you to the team especially for coordinating my airport transfer at 5 am in the morning! Located right next to the ferry and 5 mins away from male.

The location of the hotel is perfect which is a short distance from the ferry terminal and the public beach is easily accessible. We got up early to watch the beautiful sunrise on Easter Day. We enjoyed the most delicious guava on the island. The hotel gave us a comfortable and memorable stay.

The service was excellent, and the staff were very welcoming.

Good hotel. Well behaved staff and tasfy food.

An excellent hotel, located practically right on the beach. The service is excellent, the rooms are clean, spacious, and cozy. The huge pluses are the free taxi transfer from and to the airport and the ferry, which the hotel staff pays for themselves. The receptionists spoke fluent English. The downside is the cafe on the ground floor, where all the food is incredibly spicy 🌶️, it's impossible to eat...

Nice welcoming from Nistat, sweet with a welcoming drink. TO THE HOUSEKEEPING! CLEANING AND CHECKING MUST TO BE DONE FROM YOUR SIDE FOR ALL COMMODITY INCLUDING.HOT WATER IN THE SHOWER.

Heart of the tiny town. Rooms are small

Very good location near shops and restaurants. Rooms are small but enough for two. Breakfast is normal and good. Good price for room.

Great place ....best for short stay if you have flight from male

Very amazing staff. They pay attention to what you like and remember if you get something specific. Super friendly and thoughtful. No ventilation in bathroom and some minor mainteenance issues. Beds and pillows and comfortable. English breakfast is good but always the same.

Fen doesn’t work. I didn’t use it, because it smelled of burning. It was dark Carbon Depots. It is dengerous

Great location, friendly staff. Decent hotel restaurant: fast and delicious food.

Great Location Friendly Staff Free airport pick up

It's economical and affordable. The rooms aren't big, but they have everything you need. There are many shops and supermarkets downstairs, which is very convenient. They also offer free airport shuttle service. It's a good transit hotel.

Very friendly staff and good location, and our taxi to the airport was paid for by the hotel

Very friendly and helpful front desk and staff. The location is one of the best spot in Male island with mins away to National museum, mosque , cafes, restaurants, souvenirs shops etc. Only con i found is the room is very compact.

We had a really nice time at Beehive Central. The location was perfect—it helped us a lot as it was conveniently situated and made everything easier during our stay. The atmosphere was comfortable, and the staff was polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend it for a pleasant and well-located stay in Malé!

It's a transit hotel, so don't expect too much, but it's quite new, and the staff are all very helpful. They offer free airport shuttle service both ways. If you have time, you can explore Malé city before heading to the island, where everything at the resorts can be quite pricey.

Service was really good, including transportation from and to the airport. However, I reserved a Deluxe room which they assigned me on the 1st floor, outside was the road and football court. Also, there was a protest march on the road at least an hour non stopping shouting and playing music, at the late night, of course the hotel said it only maintain 20mins. Furthermore, there is no hot water for...

This hotel in Malé is a good choice for a layover. The airport pick-up and drop-off service is very convenient. However, the room is quite small. The value for money is decent, and it's relatively clean, but the shower and toilet areas aren't separated. Also, toothbrushes aren't provided in the room. It's a bit far from the fish market and city center, about a 1km walk, but it's very close to the airport

This is a great hostel with excellent service, small but charming. The room I stayed in had no windows, but the bathroom had a small vent. Transfers were well-arranged, and the price was fair. There's a small football pitch right outside, and there was a mini-game happening the night I was there, which was quite fun to watch. Breakfast on the tenth floor offers a great view, and there's a small garden...

The water heater in the bathroom wasn't working, and the sheets were a bit dirty, but the airport pickup service was great and the staff were very warm and welcoming.

The staff were incredibly nice and helpful, and check-in after arriving at the airport was seamless. The airport shuttle service was complimentary, and they even assisted us in contacting our next hotel for a smooth transition. A major plus is how clean the hotel is; although the room was a bit small, it had all the necessary amenities. The biggest issue is the noise from the street. As you can see...

The hotel's location is excellent, just 50 meters from the beach. The room is very well-appointed, and cleaning is provided upon request (cleaned an hour after the sign was posted). We were met at the pier upon arrival and given a room immediately before check-in. Overall, the guesthouse left a pleasant impression, despite the fact that outside our window was the wall of a neighboring hotel under construction...

Incredibly pleasant and friendly hotel manager who is always willing to help with anything you need. All the staff are kind and smiling, the whole place is spotless, and it's just a few steps to the stunning beaches. The buffet-style food never disappointed us, and we had the chance to try everything. Thank you for those wonderful days, and hopefully, we'll see you again someday...

I stayed in Paguro beach inn for 4 nights ,it was nice experiences , Musthaq and his team are excellent . Shafaq from reception always doing the needful when i was there . All staffs are well trained with good manners and attentive. the room was clean with balcony . surrounding by tropical coconut trees view , just a step to beach ( they are most closer to the sunrise side), the breakfast is various...

All was very good, nice and kitchen amazing. The room it was clean, the personal nice. Breakfast and dinner it is recomandable for family. We stay two adults and three childrens în 1 family room, it was excelent. Soleman, the manager, it was very nice.

I have been to Maldives 3 times, everyone of those times were amazing, BUT not as amazing as my stay at Paguro Beach Inn. Those people are so heartwarming and welcoming that you couldn't imagine! They will make your stay exceptional. Their manager Solaman is one of those guys that really does care for his guests to have the best stay ever, whatever you need he will provide or find solution! Their captain...

The island is great and welcoming to tourists. The Hotel is well places , simple bu excellent food. The manager and staff were very polite and very helpful in arranging anything we needed . Pick up from ferry was also helpful

The best place I've ever visited 🌹💕💯

Good service, comfortable place, two steps to the beach, the owner is really helpful and chilled, we had a really great stay! We’ll come back for sure ;) 👍🏼

I spend 1 week in the hotel. Very good price for this high quality place. Very good service with with attentive employees. Good value for money. Just I can recommend for all travellers. Single, coupe family just a matter.

Beautiful Island, first class facilities, close to the ocean. Biggest chance in the Maldives to see a whale shark.

Excellent Service and room Nice comfortable place, friendly staff always helpful! Over good services

Lovable place. Should visit at least one time

The place is immersed in the rich vegetation of Maldives. An absolute delight to nature lovers. Amazing food and delightful staff, strongly recommended for your holiday stay.

We had an incredible vacation at Hotel Mi Lugar. An exceptional experience that will stay with us forever. The welcome, the location, the staff, the food and the island were perfect. We were able to go on excursions with Hussen, who is a lovely and very kind person. He showed us some wonderful places and landscapes. We've had a wonderful time together and he cares about our well-being, which we've...

This is a Muslim island, Very far from the resorts and the social life. A corner of paradise. As well as Mi Lugar, it is the ideal place for those who want to spend time in seclusion and with positive energy. Danushka, is an excellent manager, ready to satisfy any request, very jovial and professional. He knows the island and understands the needs of his guests, as well as his staff. Starting from...

Very recently opened beautiful spa.

A quiet place that u can have Ur time with loved ones

Awesome place. Very warm and hospitable. The owners are taking care and are very particular on every detail. 10/10. For everything. Beautiful clean rooms with super bed, best eminities. Good shower after long travel. Beach is visible from window. Must stay if u are planing a transit here... Keep it up

Perfect place for a stopover near Male Airport. Clean and comfortable, recently decorated with first class WiFi & AC. Special regards to the family that run Maakanaa Lodge, they are super friendly, welcoming and caring. 15 mins car transfer from the Airport was easily arranged by themselves. Highly recommended.

The hostel is really nice and clean and comfortable! The staffs there are very friendly. They also offered airport pickup service which is really nice. Breakfast's included and is nice and tasty too. Sure I'll recommend this guest house to those who would like to stay in Hulhumalé.

The best in Hulhumale. Perfectly homely, decent breakfast, owners are retaining the homeliness by working and staying in here themselves. Very warm welcome, some rooms face the strand and the beach. Nicely coordinated free transfer. Perfect for transit .😊😊😊

Maakanaa Lodge, Hulhumalé is situated in a convenient location and it is close to all local amenities. I love the clean, modern style rooms with good facilities and really enjoyed the warm hospitality. Would definitely recommend the place to my foreign friends. Heartfelt thanks to the management of Maakanaa Lodge for the wonderful service provided!

Basic no nonsense hotel. Fine for one night. Close to the airport. About a 15min taxi ride. Over the bridge onto male from the airport. Room adequate and breakfast very basic.

The room wasn't very clean, we asked for water, but it wasn't brought to the room. Overall, it's okay to spend one night in Male, but nothing more!

A great option to stay overnight before or after a flight. The room is clean, comfortable, there are 24-hour shops nearby. The staff is just super!!! I stayed because I arrived late. And in the morning there was a little rain, so I couldn't call a taxi. In the end, the manager gave me a free ride on a motorbike to the transfer point to the islands, and also gave me a short tour of the city.

Staff are accomading and friendly. Special thank goes to Veer in the resturent who engage with guests with small conversions, smile and making sure guests have a wonderful experience. He pay personal attention to all guests and making sure he do the max he can do from his capacity.

Booked a day room whilst waiting for a flight. Rooms are clean and modernly decorated, bathrooms light and airy and showers good. The view from the room wasn’t good but this hotel is in the centre of Male city and it was only for a few hours. Rooms spotlessly clean Food in restaurant good.

What a wonderful place! The rooms are admittedly a little on the smaller side, but the employees outweigh this small detail immensely! Especially General Manager Borhan is doing an absolutely fabulous job. Always ready to chat while still being aware of his duties, he creates an inviting and welcoming atmosphere. Also Aus from reception, Ayu & Naina as waitresses were essentiall for a fairly pleasant...

I liked the hotel, it's clean, the staff is very helpful, the food is delicious, the hotel is small, I recommend it

My experience at Ocean Retreat & Spa was overall disappointing. While the hotel is clean and initially felt welcoming, that impression quickly faded. The manager was very warm and friendly when we arrived, but his attitude changed drastically once the payment was made—he became cold, distant, and uninterested. It was clear that he was more focused on profit than on guest satisfaction. As for the island...

My wife and I stayed at this guesthouse from June 25th to June 28th. We were more than satisfied with everything. The very polite and smiling manager, Zizoo, made it clear from the moment we checked in that she could handle any guesthouse issues. The guesthouse itself is a 2-3-minute walk from Bikini Beach. We stayed in a room on the top floor with a beautiful sea view. The room looks just like the...

Review The hotel is located on the local island of Guraidhoo. The easiest way to get there is by speedboat, which costs $25 per person. Pros+ The first thing we'd like to note is the friendly staff. Overall, the island is home to very welcoming and friendly people. Our room was clean. They cleaned well. The food and table were also beautifully prepared. The beach is a 5-minute walk away (where you...

Overall, we liked the hotel, the location is the closest to bikini beach. We liked the staff, they responded to all requests immediately. The only thing, but this is the case in all localities: during our 4-day stay, neither in this hotel nor in others, they never cleaned or took out the trash. We had to collect the trash ourselves in bags (our own) and put them outside the door. When we asked to take...

Our 2nd week on Maldives having been to Maldives 9 years ago. New to this island. It reminds me of what Maafushi was probably like 20 years ago. I can see it ending up like Maafushi with 50 hotels and tons of restaurants. At the moment it is quite untouched. Very reasonable priced hotels. I paid £50 a night for our room for 2. This was more a rustic guest house rather than hotel. There is NO LIFT...

We liked location very much. Rooms are clean and sitting area are infront of the room is really nice bonus. Manager of hotel was always available and ready to help. I must say all staff at hotel was TOP!!!! they arranged trips and pcr test for us..always on time!!!! i can only recommend this place! Couple from Russia

Neat rooms, comfortable beds, wi-fi, nearby beach, friendly staff and excellent service. Great island, sealavie cafe nearby is a great restaurant.

I happily spent 8 days in this accommodation. Anyone who truly wants to escape the daily grind without any noise will find it here. Pure peace and quiet. The staff is very friendly; you're greeted with a smile and bid farewell with a smile, like family. Thank you to everyone who treated me with such respect. I would love to come back again. Memet

Guys, thank you very much for a wonderful experience in swimming with large mantas. It was amazing. Thanks to the staff, and Chuck in particular, this boat trip turned out to be a tremendous success. I'd love to repeat it one day. Good luck, guys

A wonderful hotel with a pleasant, friendly atmosphere. I especially recommend it to those who enjoy active recreation. The hotel has only six rooms, and it's quiet, calm, and tidy (there are no hotels or tourists nearby). The rooms are large and clean, and there's a private beach. The Biwi Beach is a pleasant 15-minute stroll away. The menu caters to every taste, with no time limits. The quality is...

They are so great!! The hospitality is amazing! It’s a right choice to go with them. Their excursion to the nurse shark feeding is really good price, 25 usd. The shampoo they use is really good for your hair. One thing is this is the less breezy side of the island, and prepare yourself with mosquito repellent!

My first time on Mahibadhoo, stayed at Dhamana Beach guest house and I’m loving it! I’ve stayed at luxurious resorts like Lily Beach and Mirihi as well as other local islands, but if you are looking for a laidback, friendly and affordable chill Maldives holiday, try a local island like Mahibadhoo. Dhamana blew me away with their hospitality, delicious 3-course meals served right by their beach, large...

The owner and staff were incredibly welcoming. The place was safe, off-the-beaten-path, quiet, and right on the beach, allowing you to truly experience the local way of life. Staying here felt like home; I was very relaxed and able to unwind. I slept wonderfully every night, over nine hours a night. I really loved the island and hotel I chose. Although it rained every day, travel isn't only about sunny...

We had a reservation for Endheri sunset that we sadly had to cancel because of the ongoing tensions in the gulf area, therefore we weren't able to reach the structure. We were already past the deadline for free cancellation but the structure granted us full refund. That was incredibly kind and understanding of them. We're wishing to visit them as soon as possible and I recommend them to all the travellers...

Loved my stay at Endheri Sunset. The rooms are no frill, but clean & comfortable. O-Dey (the manager) & his staff were top notch. Very attentive & so welcoming. The excursions included in our package were amazing as well. Enjoyed the authentic food- recommend the chicken curry & Maldivian breakfast.

The rooms were clean. The hotel was very close to Bikini Beach and it was very enjoyable to start a day with a wonderful view in front of the hotel and have breakfast there. Ahmed gives you information that can help you with everything and they organized great activities, especially the whale shark and snorkel trips were very enjoyable. Spending time with local people on a local island was a different...

Super hotel in super location Hotel: +Nice team and ready to help manager +professional organization of transfers + private beach + room sevice every day, very clean +In my opinion, the hotel is worth 3 full European stars ( all devices, air conditioner, water tap etc, everything works) + nice diving schoolwith good equipment belongs to the hotel Island: + small and clean, with south charm...

Paradise Maldives. The best hotel on the island, located right on the ocean, very cozy inside, so clean, we walked around barefoot. Transfer by speed boat. Room. My room had a magnificent view of the ocean, a fairytale. Cleaning is daily, very clean, the furniture and fixtures are new, everything is as in the photo of the hotel, the bed is soft and large, there is a quiet air conditioner, a refrigerator...

The best guest house ever! I traveled a lot but never met such an amazing and attentive stuff team. The meal is good, thanks to the chef, the portions are really big, do not hesitate to try a Maldivian breakfast. If the weather is good they serve the meal right on the beach, but if the weather is bad in internal court which is really nice to. The way to Bikini beach takes like 2 minutes. We had a...

Great location, with own private beach and great food. Excellent price to quality ration, and staff is very friendly. Would recommend

This is not the fancy resort. But the best food ever in Maldives. And great price. We enjoyed a lot with whole family

I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent at Reveries! All of the staff were so helpful and genuinely friendly people. The location is immersed in nature's incredible beauty. "Thank you" to all of you at Reveries for making it such a sweet experience!

Flying 250 Km south from Malé International Velana Airport you land at Kadhdhoo. You are now in Laamu atoll. In few minutes by car here it is the Reveries Diving Village, a modern and elegant Hotel overlooking the sea. Rooms in a sober style, basic, but comfortable and nothing is missing. Aside the accomodations area a garden where we had dinner in a nice and relaxing atmosphere. Very kind all the...

We felt like part of a big family, nothing was too much trouble

We had a warm welcome. The staff were very helpful and friendly and respectful. The room was very clean and comfortable. It had a magnificient view of the beach and we could watch the sunset from our room. There is a private beach area dedicated to Reveries and it was beautiful. Highly recommend this place for everyone including families with children.
