4 star hotels in Maldives

Nice place! About 30 minutes from the airport!

I had an important meeting, and the WiFi is not that great. They brought me a 5G router 10 minutes before the meeting. Friendly and helpful staff, great rooms and great location

Due to go back here (lost count now on the number if times we've visited over last 2 decades!!) In January. It's paradise for sure. It has a special place in our hearts 💕. If you are heading to Dhonveli for a special occasion go find Sattar at the infinity pool by over water suites. He takes the best photos ever, and importantly knows the best photo spots ! He will provide super fresh flower garlands...

Over all we had a great time, premium all inclusive is a little on the confusing side, because this small island is split up in sections. And heaven forbid and you ask for a beer at the north side of the islands bar if your staying on the south side of the island, even if your spending alot of extra money at the spa that just happens to be on the north side. I was told I had go back to another bar...

Great place, Truly excellent value for money. To be returned and highly recommended. Very kind staff

We can't say enough amazing things about our experience at Cinnamon Dhonveli Resort — from the incredible food, sun-soaked beaches, crystal-clear waters, and stunning water bungalow to, most importantly, the warm and exceptional people who made our stay truly unforgettable. After checking in at the Cinnamon Dhonveli booth, we were smoothly guided to our 30-minute speedboat transfer to the resort....

Thank You Letter to Lagoon View Bodufoludhoo Team ​Dear Team at Lagoon View Bodufoludhoo, ​On behalf of our group of 8, we would like to say a huge thank you for making our stay truly unforgettable. From the very first moment we arrived at the island, we felt the warmth and hospitality that made our holiday special. ​

The Room space was very comfortable and it was amazing expeeience i had during the stay. Thw wash room was quite clean The staff hospitality was super super good

We were very pleased to find welcoming good people during all our staying. The cousine was flavorful and both the chef and the guys serving us were the sweetest on earth. We went there for a scuba diving trip and the diving guide, Vysakh, was professional and careful through the all trip. He organized with the crew loads of wonderfully trip and we enjoyed the fellowship.

hotel for two nights. the place is just heavenly. but only from the hotel to the beach. there is a reception on the hotel grounds. noisy. i would not return. for that kind of money you can have a better rest on another island. there is no wi-fi there

To everyone who reads our words about Lagoon View Maldives - all is great and excellent! Weather, atmosphere, ocean and staff !!! our special thanks to Arun and his colleagues for taking care of us !!! This is pure paradise place to stay !!! We spent one week there, but this stay is in our hearts forever !!! We hope to have a chance to come again !!!

The time spent in this hotel was great! The whole hotel team works to make your stay unforgettable. We didn't encounter any problems during our 7 days there. Very attentive and polite staff, timely cleaning of rooms, free drinking water. A variety of food is served for breakfast and dinner, including fish. I would like to mention the desserts - they are very tasty, we were waiting for them the most...

Beautiful room with a stunning seaside location that made our stay unforgettable. The atmosphere was relaxing, the view was incredible, and the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

One of the best hotels I have ever been. Delicious food, helpfull stuff, beautiful view. It was pleasure to be here. The stuff do everything to satisfy guests

Kiha has a good beach and house reef. Safe and protected. The rooms are spacious and clean. The friendly and helpful staff must be commended for making our stay truly memorable. This includes helping to get back a lost phone from the Male airport and making special arrangements to snorkel with the mantas on our last day! Thanks to Ali, Izza and Salem! We hope to return again one day.

We stopped in Kiha Beach for one night ahead of a liveaboard - we could have happily stayed much longer. The hotel itself is beautiful and opens directly out onto bikini beach with some great snorkelling - our room was spacious, very clean and incredibly comfortable. We slept so well after a long journey and felt really refreshed. Staff are lovely and couldn’t do enough to help including picking...

We stayed 6 nights before boarding scuba spa. Everything about our stay was perfect-the food, hospitality, the room, the pristine beach. We did multiple snorkel tours and got to swim with mantas/whalesharks twice. We will be back!

Thank you so much for s fantastic week. Great service, great food - a wonderful stay! We were so lucky seeing mantas in big groups and whale sharks during our stay. All staff was so nice and did everything they could making our experience a memorable one. Thanks Peter

Love the staff really friendly and the location also close to the airport. The location nearby the mosque so you should expect the prayer in the morning, but since you’re in Maldives which is a muslim country, you should know that every part of the cities will have mosque. Totally recommended hotel

Staff are very friendly, responsive and professional. Enjoyed the food (breakfast and dinner) at the hotel’s restaurant. Location is also convenient - walking distance to shops and attractions.

Always a great option for a short stay in Malé between flights and/or island hopping. Pick up and drop off from and to the airport is seamless, thanks to the very friendly and supportive staff. Breakfast restaurant offers nice views on the airport. Definitely one of the best options in Malé itself

Just almost front of blue mosque and close to the artificial beach. Most I like is the ocean view and cozy interior design. I stayed two times. 901 and 904. 10 Th floor is the breakfast . Very beautiful both city and ocean view as well as we can see the airport from the breakfast table. Bed was nice . Amenities are excellent including ear plugs and shoes cleaner. I definitely come back !!

I had a wonderful experience during my stay. Everything was fantastic from the beginning to the end. The hotel is well maintained, and the overall atmosphere is very pleasant and welcoming. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with a smile. A special thanks to Keshav and Himanshu(Front desk) for their warm hospitality and excellent service. The restaurant staff were...

Welcome was great but restaurant service nothing special. Good transfer service from and to the airport.

Very well, everything very good I would say perfect, The best restaurant on this lovely island. Outstanding food and very nice and pro crew. I wis to stay there forever.

I recently had the most unforgettable stay at Luau Maldives, and it truly felt like stepping into a dream. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm, genuine, and so welcoming. The staff made us feel special every single day — always smiling, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed. Their kindness really made the experience even more meaningful. Waking up to the sound of the...

Luau Restaurant rooftop in Fulidhoo had absolutely the best food and service! We are very satisfied.

This room type offers a more budget-friendly option, although the sea view is limited. The room size is the same as the upstairs rooms, just with a different view. We booked two rooms in total, one upstairs and one downstairs. The hotel is great. Linda was very nice, and the other staff members were also very enthusiastic. It's clean and hygienic. Definitely the best place to stay around here.

Luau Beach Inn is a very special local place in a natural paradise. Come here if you are looking for an authentic experience with still all comforts you need. The whole staff pays attention to the details in anything they do. They are very professional but also very friendly taking care of their guests as if you were member of their family. A special mention to the delicius dishes of the restaurant...

We loved our stay at Luau Beach Inn. The room and its view were just perfect, the staff were friendly, and they offer all types of activities such as snorkeling, sandbank excursions, watersports and much more. Everything was done in an ethical way, and the hotel is very environmentally aware. The food was amazing, and their new café by the beach was just as good. A relaxed place with great vibes, and...

So let's start, my name is Banciu Daniel Marcel and I was a guest for 30 days in this hotel that I will tell you about. I arrived in the Maldives after I had 2 planes to change and I arrived in Male at the airport and I had to take domestic flights that as hand luggage have only 5 kilograms maximum and on any international flight you have at least 7 or 10 kg and I was charged with 40 usd for 3 surpluses...

To start off we stayed her for 3 nights after a liveaboard dive trip during the off season. we were looking to rest and relax and we got that. The room was comfortable the bed was two twins put together but pretty comfortable. Great shower. English was only spoken by the nice gal in reception but she is only there from 8:30 - 6:00. Nothing against the staff we found this true on the island in general...

Very good location with nice beach for relaxing right infront of the property. Not too far from the main town area so shops and other places of interest were close by. Rooms were clean and cozy. The pool was clean and an enjoyable size. There was a limited but sufficient breakfast buffet. Overall good value for money considering all that was available.

Vilu Veli Holiday Retreat is a charming, thoughtfully designed escape, crafted with personal touches that tell a story, some stones and furniture even hold pieces of owner’s journey. The spacious rooms feature premium furnishings, luxurious bedding, and immaculate bathrooms. Don’t miss the cold brew Illy coffee rich, creamy, and the most refreshing after a day at the beach. A perfect haven to relax...

Amazing hotel, Thomas was helpful at every turn - my friend mentioned we were looking for fresh coconut water and he offered to get some coconuts to serve us that day! The servers Parakas and Russell were extremely attentive and friendly. The cook, whose name I didn’t get, was amazing. Every meal was delicious. Located right next to the bikini beach, we went swimming every day and felt extremely safe...

The environment is very good! Complete facilities! Stayed for thirty days, with a beach behind and lots of crows! It’s very convenient to travel every day! Thomas at the front desk is very friendly, Rassel and prakash 301.302.305 501 (us) 502.503.505 Swimming pool 101, 103, 105 201, 203, 205 Very good! Clean room and delicious food

"Experience luxury at Alimaz Hotel, Maldives! 🌴 Top-notch service, stunning ocean views, and elegant rooms make it a perfect tropical getaway. Book now for unforgettable island bliss!"

I stayed at Hotel Alimas through the Agoda platform, but unfortunately, my review wasn’t published there. The hotel is amazing—spotlessly clean, and the food they serve is absolutely delicious (special thanks to the chef!). Our entire stay was flawless. I especially want to highlight the manager, Ibrahim, who—along with the entire staff—took wonderful care of us. Felidhoo Island is a peaceful place...

OK and that’s it. If you need a place to sleep and have very basic meals and food, this is OK. Would not recommend if you are looking for a hotel and beach stay type of trip. But if you have other activities booked such as excursions, diving or similar it is ok as a base camp.

The Alimas is a small hotel equipped with all comforts. Ours was a beautiful room with a king size bed, large bathroom and fridge. Breakfast and lunch in the dining room, while dinner is served in a very suggestive outdoor space with soft lighting. The hospitality and availability of all the staff are THE ADDED VALUE of this place. Ibrahim always available to the customer. The excursions are wonderful...

We returned from this wonderful holiday in the Maldives to say the least... to the welcome of Rafae and his unsurpassed staff. From the rooms to the meals, attention was paid to the smallest details and we felt at home in a unique place in the world. This Guest House boasts an excellent location and the cleanliness is truly top notch. The guys responded to any of our needs with a smile and their hospitality...

We have spent seven marvellous days with my wife in Alimas Retreat. All the staff were very nice and helpful. Rooms were clean and always tidy with a nice sea view Especially hotel manager Mr. Ibrahim and manager Mr. Fahhar were very friendly hosts. During 7 days we have had a chance to see 6 days sunny and 1 day cloudy. The beach around the Felidhoo was perfect. I had chance to see many sea creatures...

We loved our stay in this hotel! The staff waited for us in port to transfer us to hotel. Rooms are big, comfortable and sunny. Location is great, near bikini beach, restaurants, souvenir shops.. Breakfast is delicious and various. You can book all excursions trough hotel and staff will take you to meeting point of agency. The staff is great, friendly and polite, but I have to mention Saminde who made...

I had an amazing three week stay here. The price is fair, the breakfast was delicious but most importantly, the staff was the best. Unfortunately I don't remember everyones' name, Monir from Bangladesh and Sam from Sri Lanka were some of the memorable ones but honestly everyone made me feel so at home. They helped me with all my needs and requests and went above and beyond from booking boats from...

Spent 4 nights here Jan 2026 and had a pleasant stay. Rooms are basic but absolutely fine. We didn't include meals so can't comment on the food. Good, friendly service. Picked us up from the harbour with our luggage and took us back on departure. Great locaiton, easy to walk anywhere on the island and v close to the non-bikini beach which was great for snorkeling. Good spa where we enjoyed a massage...

Dear Velana Beach Hotel Team, I wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for the incredible care, kindness, and support you showed us during our stay. After a very stressful and upsetting experience on arrival in the Maldives, your team went above and beyond to help us when we truly needed it. From the warm welcome to the genuine care and professionalism shown throughout our stay, you turned...

had an absolutely amazing stay at this hotel! Everything was perfect — the place was exceptionally clean, fully equipped with everything I needed, and the atmosphere was just wonderful. Honestly, these were some of the best days of my trip, and I regret booking other hotels instead of staying here longer. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming — always smiling and ready to help. Their warm...

Courteous and helpful staff ✅️ Great food for meals, including a wonderful buffet ✅️ The excursions were wonderfully done, lots of photo ops, and all round great experience ✅️ Comfy, cosy room with a balcony with a wonderful view ✅️ The massage parlor is definitely worth it too! ✅️

Our five days at Kinan Retreat were unforgettable. We stayed in a Super Deluxe room, which was an important factor in our choice as these rooms face the ocean directly. The rooms are fine—although they could benefit from some renovation, everything was clean and well maintained. Breakfast and dinner were also good; the selection is not very large, but it is more than sufficient, and we were always...

The beach and lagoon in front of the hotel are the best in Fulidhoo, so if you're coming to Fulidhoo for the lagoon, this is the place to stay. It's right next to the jetty, which makes getting on and off speedboats super convenient. Bikini Beach isn't far either, so you can go swimming. The hotel offers excursions, but we weren't able to book the snorkeling trip. The room was good too, though the...

An Unforgettable Stay at Kinan Retreat, Maldives My recent stay at Kinan Retreat in the Maldives was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality that made me feel relaxed and at home. The property is beautiful, and perfectly located to enjoy the natural beauty of the Maldives. The rooms were clean and comfortable, offering stunning views and...

This cute guesthouse is perfectly situated with easy access to beaches and diving. Staff are friendly and create a relaxed atmosphere. I only have 2 drawbacks which is no coffee/ tea station in the room and the other was hot water in the shower felt like it was on a timer which meant after 2 minutes it went Luke warm. For a guest house on a local island it is worth a visit

It's just so-so, everything is just so-so, the boss is very nice and welcoming, but there is a long-haired curly guy who is very cold

I had an amazing stay at Kinan Retreat in August 2025. The staff is extremely nice and welcoming, the rooms are clean and the available underwater activities (sharks and turtles trips etc.) have good prices! I will definitely come back if I have the opportunity. I am not giving 5 stars only because the rooms closer to the stairs are a bit noisy, as you can sometimes hear people talking or walking...

We recently stayed 3 separate times at Season Holidays in an effort to organise seaplanes to various islands in the Maldives. The staff at this hotel were exceptional. Met us at Male Airport without any problems on our first visit and took us straight to the hotel where we received an upgrade to a seaview room! Very nice. Next morning after breakfast they transported us to the seaplane terminal...

It's hard to evaluate a hotel like this because we're so used to western standards. Per western standards, this would be a low cost, marginally acceptable hotel. But it's a good hotel in the market it is in. The good: the staff was extremely good. The airport pickup and dropoff was excellent and communication was strong. The vehicles were modern and clean. We were offered a cold juice upon arrival...

A warm welcome from the hotel staffs with a nice welcome drink & Face Towels, wow...!!! What more you want.. ??? Amazing i must say... As I'm a repeater to this hotel many times, I can recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay even for 01 night as it is very nearer to the international airport too... Overall experience was beyond my expectations as always.... Thanks once again to the team...

Facing the beach, it's perfect for watching the sunrise. Friendly service and delicious breakfast

Had an amazing stay here. It was a bit quick just for a night, and I specifically choosed them for their sea view as well as free transfer from airport. Everything went smooth. Had a nice breakfast as well. Will def recommend since it comes with free transportation ( didn’t wait much ).

This hotel is offers excellent customer service. The hotel staff are approachable and always ready to assist guests to have a comfortable stay. Housekeeping is also consistent. You can always go back to a clean room after a full day tour. The location is perfect, it is beach front so you can enjoy your breakfast with a nice view everyday. Highly recommended.

I was received by the guest house staff at the jetty upon arriving from Male. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. The maldivian breakfast was excellent. The manager assisted the residents with booking excursions. He also assisted me with booking the speed boat to and from Male. Also important to note that you can pay for the room and excursions using a debit card without incurring additional charges...

Service of this hotel is top notch. We had a watermelon and were just asking for a knife to cut it ourselves. And they ended up cutting it for us and presented it like that, twice. Also we checked out in the morning before we went to the beach, and we asked for a washroom to change and clean up as we came back. They didn't have any free room that we could use so the manager offered us to use his room...

From the very first impression when we arrived at the port from our ferry to the birthday surprises and final goodbyes, Sands Grand I can highly recommend! The staff were super friendly and accommodating for every need. Our bedroom was decorated for our friends birthday before we arrived and again on her actual birthday plus balloons and chocolate cake! Our room was cleaned everyday, being provided...

Perfect stay: the staff was warm, professional and friendly. My room was big, comfortable and clean. Breakfast on the terrace was delicious and common areas were well maintained. I would happily stay here again, 100% recommended!

It was the best trip of my life! Thanks to Sands Grand Hotel for your service, the food was delicious, the stuff was soo kind, the massages were very good and it's the perfect spot on the isle in my opinion. One point deduction because for some broken furnishings but in the end they do their best and everything was amazing - the stuff is with heart and soul a very positive one with good vibes and...

Sands Grand Hotel in Dhigurah is the perfect spot if you’re looking for a relaxing island escape. It has such a laid-back, chill vibe that makes you feel right at home. The location is excellent, close to the beach and everything you need on the island. The staff are incredibly welcoming and always ready to help, making every part of the stay smooth and enjoyable. The food is absolutely delicious,...

Had an unexpected night in Male. manager of hotel made a good effort to make us feel.comfortable. Good location not far from airport. Lots of little shops and restaurants nearby. Would stay there again.

Beautiful.... Location near by the eastern beach

One of the best place to stay in Maldives. The hospitality and delicious food are awesome.

Budget Hotel with Great service and well decorated rooms. Great value for money . Just a walking distance to the sea.

Very good place but no longer around. I was introduced to stay at this place by a close friend. His friend was running the place. We were given very nice and cozy rooms with a view of the ocean. I was there last month from 9th to 15th Aug 2022. However, we cannot find this place anymore.

Relax Beach Inn Maldives is located on Hulhumale Island, which is very close to the Maldives' main airport, Velana International Airport, it's an excellent choice for travelers who arrive on a late-night flight and need a place to stay before heading to their next destination. Hulhumale Island also has a beautiful beach and several restaurants and shops, so you can spend some time relaxing and exploring...

Good location. But the fesilities are less. They should improve their facilities and also service only location cannot serve all the purposes. They should increase the staff and amenities even cleaning and other facilities of the hotel. Location is good but hulu maale is small city u can go anywhere by walk if u stay any corner of the city

Stayed at June 2016, the room was quite big and okay. But the air conditioner doesn't work properly. It's working on, but failed to make the room cool. Staffs are good.

Great place to spend a holiday! The host (Abd Maseeh) and Mirza are very friendly, kind and helpful! Breakfast and dinner are very tasty, with (almost always) fresh juices and fruits! Rooms are cleaned every or every second day. Yard is beautiful and we had a feeling like we are at our own home. We recommend going on fruits and vegetables excursion as well as sunset fishing - it’s really unique experience...

Very good value. Free snorkel gear and bicycle rent + good breakfast. Friendly staff. Quite nice rooms, everything was easy.

Great place to stay when on the island! Super close to shops and restaurants, located right in the middle of the island. Few minutes on a bike to the beach - bikes are free (not the most comfortable ones, but they do the job) Outdoor area is nice, green and always clean Rooms have A/C, safe, shower, large comfy bed, beach & bath towels. Breakfasts are local and served directly to you, normally...

Liked the place very much. Neat and all arrangements are very good. Staffs are really kind and helpful.

Nice place to spend holidays in Maldives with affordable prices

A lovely hotel with an indoor garden, and rooms right on the beach. We received great service and during one dinner they even played Swedish music for us 😀 The rooms had everything you need and it’s a great place to stay if you want to dive since they work with Liquid Salt Divers.

Aveyla hotel and Liquid Salt Divers are a perfect pair, if you love manta rays, you won't need to look for a better combination, you sleep almost on the beach and when the manta rays appear in Hanifaru Bay, the LSD center takes you to them in the blink of an eye:)) If you want to dive, that's no problem either, I highly recommend it😎💚

We stayed 3 nights and took the package with domestic flights, 4 dives and 2 snorkels. We wish we could have stayed more time to be able to do even more! The experience was fantastic, making a dream come true 🤩😍. The place is very nice, clean, with friendly and helpful staff. The food was good and the room comfortable. PS: it can happen that some dives and snorkels are particularly crowded, with...

We had a fantastic stay at Aveyla Manta Village. The location is unbeatable, right on a beautiful beach and just a short boat ride from Hanifaru Bay for the incredible manta ray experience. The staff were so friendly and helpful, really making us feel at home. The food was fresh and tasty every day. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Overall, a lovely, relaxed place to enjoy the Maldives.

Aveyla Manta Village is a big hotel located on the beach front. The rooms was huge and spacious, equipped with basic amenities. The bed was comfortable but the room was too dark. It was challenging even though there was a light on the makeup mirror as it was very dim. At night the room is very dark. There was no room telephone hence was an inconvenience as we had to go down to reception to find someone...

We stayed at Aveyla because of their close connection to liquid salt divers. However, we recommend this hotel for several other reasons as well. The atmosphere was very intimate, which is something both of us appreciated a lot, as it made the entire stay comfortable and incredibly enjoyable. The staff are among the friendliest we've ever encountered, and we were particularly fond of the female staff...

We had dinner here. Food is fresh and very tasty. They had a seafood and fish bufet. Lovely! And the terrace looks very nice, with all the trees and decorations.

As there are a lot of expensive hotels and we are on tight budget, we preferred to stay in this hotel located in a small island. In this place, we enjoyed staying with the locals who are very accommodating and approachable. Foods are great and the beach is quiet and not much tourists. Photos are taken last September 2018

We have stayed in this wonderful guesthouse for 4 days in February. We loved it ! The guesthouse was nice and close to the beach which was really nice. The staff was so helpful arranging the activities. We went for two dives and a sand bank trip. Was really awesome ! I recommend this place

Our stay was amazing, the staff were very friendly, and great with the kids. We had a wonderful time and would return anytime! 5 stars!!!

This is simply a best place. it's naturally greenish.no beepsound so calm throughout the island.👏

We enjoyed our stay very much at Beach Villa Ukulhas ! We were greeted by Chiko and his wife who were super nice and proactive, the food is good, the rooms are clean and the guesthouse is very well located. We took a private jet ski tour to see Manta rays and turtles which was an amazing experience. We can't wait to visit again !

Ukulhas has a beautiful long bikini beach, many restaurants and small shops to shop. I recommend the West Sands Hotel - really great. There is a lot of construction work on the island at the moment but I would say it will be great in a few weeks. It is a local island but you have a large selection of services that you don't have on a hotel island. On the reef next to the jetty there are lots of sharks...

Great room, more like a bungalow with a private garden. The location is perfect in Ukulhas with the beach just a few steps away and some juice bars on location. Very friendly and professional owner. A must if you want to experience the low key island life.

Perfect in every way. Ismail is a perfect host, who meets all expectations, is very accommodating. The hotel is perfect, the room is impeccable, the bedding is very good, the location perfect, the size is correct. I will definitely come back. For me the best value for money in Ukulhas. Thank you Ismail

The room is large, the bedding was good, but the bathroom could use some updating. Remember, you're staying in a local B&B, so don't expect a hotel. The host is helpful and friendly. The musty smell is due to the humidity in the air and fades with the air conditioning.

A wooden bungalow right in front of Bikini Beach. With many tropical plants, it's a bonus to have privacy! Especially, this place has lovely and friendly host Ismail, which makes me want to go again. As well as booking round-trip speedboat tickets between the airport and Ukulhas, I was able to quickly get information on snorkel points of sharks and turtles, low tide/high tide time schedules, and...
