Hotels on first line in Maldives

Nice part of hulhumale. Good staff. Nice rooms though you shouldn't expect resort quality. Nice beds. The beach is just outside and on Friday there is a bit of noise until sunset from the water sport music.

The best classic mojitos in the town. The staff were very friendly and professional. Services gives relaxed atmosphere. The food and drinks were awesome. I will defenetly come again this place

I had requested an airport shuttle over the phone in advance, and it was right on time and waiting for me. The staff were very kind and helpful. The beach is right in front of the hotel and is very beautiful

It was already after 8:00 pm when we arrived in Male, so there was no seaplane, so we could only stay in Male for one night

However, the breakfast was not very rich, and it would be better if there were more choices!

The room is very clean and convenient for travel

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

The location is good as it is close to the beach and surrounded by many shops and restaurants

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!

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

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

If you want resort-like service and quality, just book a resort. Beehive offers very good value for money. Breakfast selection is much better than other restaurants

The advantage of this Four Seasons hotel is that it's a large resort, so there are plenty of activities available, including water slides and some free programs, such as a free one-hour snorkeling class for beginners every day

It was very troublesome to choose an island before. I chose Four Seasons through various comparisons. I read many reviews before and they were not from Ctrip, so it was difficult to get the information I needed

It maintains excellent water quality and the seawater is turquoise and blue

It also organizes some activities, as well as promotional cards and short stories, to remind travelers from all over the world to devote themselves to environmental protection and protect the ocean and marine animals

If you need more personalized hotel service, it's recommended to choose another resort with butler service at this price point

The hotel pays special attention to environmental protection and takes practical actions in all aspects such as facilities

What an absolutely stunning resort. Food amazing Location the best. Each guest has 1 person to look after them for the duration like a butler. We had Faudi looking after us and nothing was a problem

She anticipated our needs before we even mentioned them, and made us feel not just like valued guests, but like family. Her sincerity and professionalism elevated our experience far beyond expectations

Vienne is the definition of a world-class GEM—warm, patient, caring, and genuinely committed from the heart. Every detail of our stay was coordinated flawlessly

Six Senses Laamu is not just a resort—it is a philosophy, an experience, a reminder of the beauty of slowing down and reconnecting with life

The entire Six Senses team deserves the same praise. Every staff member we met was cheerful, humble, and passionate about what they do

The chefs prepared unforgettable meals that showcased creativity, wellness, and sustainability—each dish told a story

Noticing I had a bad cold and had lost my voice, the Four Seasons team thoughtfully arranged for a resort doctor to be on standby upon our arrival — an incredibly caring touch

We were warmly greeted at the airport by both Virgin and Four Seasons staff and escorted straight to the boat

We stayed for 13 nights and honestly couldn’t have asked for better service. Every member of staff was genuinely warm and attentive, despite the high number of guests — we even met couples returning for their 12th visit

The food was outstanding — fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. We’ve never experienced a resort that so effortlessly offers premium ingredients like lobster or Wagyu beef whenever you wish

Leaving was emotional — we were in tears on the boat back to the airport, especially when the hotel went above and beyond by speed-delivering my forgetful husband’s bag just in time

We loved all the restaurants, particularly the Sunset Bar, where enjoying cocktails while watching the sunset as our daughter played in the sand became a daily highlight

Overall, a comfortable stay with kind staff and access to one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve seen any place in the world, especially well-suited for travelers who enjoy exploring on the island and dining out rather than staying on an all-inclusive package

The west beach runs the length of the island and is truly beautiful, with palm trees and a long sandbank at one end. Snorkeling is best reached by boat rather than directly from the beach

Convenient location (very close to the beach, mini-market, main dining places). Spacious room with a nice patio. The lack of view is not a game-changer since the ocean is only a half-step away

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

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

We also had lunch once and a beach dinner arranged by the hotel — nicely set up, although the food itself was fairly modest in flavor

The location of the guesthouse is good. The rooms are big and spacious, and are cleaned daily. Beach towels are also provided and replaced daily. The beds were really comfortable and the wifi was fast

But if you ask me on a deeper level, I'd describe Sands Grand Hotel as a home away from home. The atmosphere was so cozy that we didn't want to leave. Whenever we needed something, they took care of it without any issues

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

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 with fresh shower and beach towels as well as drinking water

The breakfast was great too! The location is okay, a short 10/15 minute walk to the bikini beach with many tourist shops, beach food carts and restaurants dotted about the island

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

Best location on the island with private beach. Nice and very friendly staff, superb owner. Coral reef 50 m from the shore. So far the best holiday in Maldives. Must see.

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

but only from the hotel to the beach. there is a reception on the hotel grounds. for that kind of money you can have a better rest on another island

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 !!!

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

Every night, a spectacle unfolded just a few meters from the restaurant: dozens of huge sharks, rays, and different kinds of fish gathered in the lagoon in front of the hotel

Very good location. Near airport. The lady at the reception is very helpful very kind. Hoping for another trip. The owner (guy) is very accommodating ♥️♥️

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

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.

If you have time, you can explore Malé city before heading to the island, where everything at the resorts can be quite pricey

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

Our waiter, Akram, was incredibly friendly; after a few casual words, he recommended the grilled grouper and the delicious Coco Chocolate dessert – both were wonderful! He even took some great photos for us! The hotel's large swimming pool was filled with colorful fish of all sizes, making snorkeling easy even for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer! We stayed for six nights and found it a very...

The room had a private terrace with a swimming pool, offering panoramic ocean views and excellent privacy – no neighbors in sight! The breakfast and dinner buffets were plentiful, and the staff were warm, smiling, and very friendly! I highly recommend the Agua restaurant

・Food: With a daily changing buffet restaurant, a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, a poolside bar with an à la carte menu, a Japanese restaurant, and a high-end overwater restaurant, you'll never get bored of dining every day

We stayed here for our honeymoon. ・Ocean: Accessible from your room, with plenty of other snorkeling spots. You can see sharks, sea turtles, and rays even without joining a cruise

Coco Budhi was truly a dream brought to life, the perfect start to our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, kindness, and an attention to detail that made our stay unforgettable

My husband and I stayed in a Superior Overwater Room with a spacious 2-meter bed. Drinking water, coffee, tea, and toiletries were replenished promptly, and the towels were changed again in the evening

Wow! Despite the fact that there are a lot of Russians on the island, there's no Russian nanny at the kids' club. :( The gym and pool are 1000 out of 10, I'm delighted

Since it was my birthday, they gave me dinner on the beach—that was nice

The stay was truly Magical, Enjoyed every bit of it.. Being Vegetarian the food absolutely amazing! Kaushik the incharge there gave a great service with variety of options!

Everything was great. The butler was friendly, and the room was in perfect condition. The only disappointment was the limited variety of restaurants.

1) The service at the resort was impeccable from arrival to exit. From the restaurant service to the in-room services (cleaning, in-room dining, etc

) and buggies, we were pampered by the hotel staff which truly helped us relax and enjoy our break. 2) Nappe, our butler, was at our service 24/7

Do yourself a favour and book. You can book half board or full board we had full board with a drink package. We loved our bikes with our personal name tags. My yummy coconut cake they made twice for me too

Our villa host Shah was just so attentive checked on us regularly. Yasir who was the most warm wonderful person who made us so welcome. The staff are so warm, friendly they can’t do enough for you

I miss those big smiles and the food, the cocktails my French champagne too. I highly recommend this property. The attention to detail you’re not just a number they go above and beyond for their guests

Japanese dining Dicka the chef there went out of his way to make every dining experience unforgettable he is incredible I’ll never forget tuna spaghetti he made for us on our anniversary lunch

We stayed 10nights our sunset water villa was wonderful as big as a house, private and we both enjoy snorkelling. From the moment we arrived we felt like we were the only couple at the resort

The list goes on and on… I miss Como and was truly amazing holiday and exceeded our expectations. I would definitely be going back home away from home. They even organised a photo shoot

Breakfast and dinner were also good; the selection is not very large, but it is more than sufficient, and we were always able to eat well. However, this is not what truly defines Kinan

The room was large, the bed was comfy, the bathroom was just okay. The breakfast and dinners were varied. Everything was served buffet style, and while good, some of the food could be served a bit warmer

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 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

His enthusiasm and attitude are simply incredible. Before our excursion, we were promised that we would definitely see a turtle while snorkeling—and he did not stop until he found one for us

I sincerely and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit a local island. Thank you for everything, Kinan Team. You touched my soul and stole a piece of my heart

We were lucky to wake up to the sunrise directly outside our balcony on the beach which was very special. All staff we interacted with were very friendly, warm, attentive and kind

Particularly a staff member we spoke to every morning as he cleaned the beach was really friendly, we had a lovely conversation each day

Thank you for a lovely stay!! We stayed in room 202 on the beach and found the room and beachfront area really beautiful

Much better place with awesome view of Flora and fauna, service and hospitality is outstanding. Must try is the sting ray feeding And their grill restaurant where u can have grilled lobster and jumbo prawns

Maldives have been a dream destination for many, Taj coral reefs hit every notes perfectly and is within our budget. The entire staff has been exceptionally welcoming and a great host

The island felt as beautiful in evening with the lights as it did in the day with the beautiful colours of the sea shining all around. A nice touch was the resident singer at lunch and evenings, her voice was fantastic

We are happy that we decided to do in Outrigger Konotta our vacation! Everything was magnificent ,the ocean villa , the restaurants, the sand beach, the weather was very generous, the staff was 5 stars level ! Only smile and happiness was everywhere ! I really enjoy this vacation each moment , especially we celebrate my wife’s birthday here ! I highly recommend this place to book your next vacation

My husband and I came for our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed the resort. All the basics were there - it was very clean, the beaches were beautiful and the villas well equipped and spacious

A few extra bonuses: the staff were lovely, the food was much better than standard resort food, they accommodated my husbands nut allergy really well, there are a lot of surprise and delight moments eg treats waiting for you in the room, and the island is a fantastic size such that it’s very private and easy to get around

My only criticism is that the wines on the all inclusive package were pretty ordinary, but the cocktails were so good that it didn't really matter. Thanks to all the staff for one of the best weeks of our lives!

Really great resort Superb service. Hotel staff is so friendly and accommodating. Special thanks to Chandana and rest of the restaurant & bar staff. Excellent water based activities at the dive centre

Be prepared to spend on excursions if you want to get the best out of the stay. There is a good reef with a diverse fish stock. Food was great, there were plenty of choices

We just love it, and it is faultless!!! Staff, food, service, spa, sports, even the magnificent gardens, all is exceptionally high quality and exceptionally well run!!! It's expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for, i

5 Stars, Amazing, Amazing Service, Amazing Food, Amazing Peace. Ali who was assigned to our room was amazing!

Return guests are a huge feature of this island’s visitors and that tells you something good about Velaa doesn’t it ? This year I asked if someone could teach me padel and in typical Velaa fashion I found that padel, tennis and several other racquet sports have four young professionals present who have all had outstanding international competitive careers

I wish there was another Velaa in another part of the world that showed as much appreciation and affection for its’ location as this island shows its devotion to the Maldives and the Maldivian people

InspecTerra Inc. proudly doing an inspection project here which shows how the managing system cares about the safety of this astonishing place. It is unbelievably beautiful and breathtaking.

You are managed by a butler - in our case Muiz again, thank you, lucky us - who is a total star with levels of consideration that we recognise as outstanding

The variety of restaurants is impressive, and the food is delicious. It is truly a magnificent hotel in every respect. I have also stayed at resorts such as One&Only and Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru in the Maldives

They were beautiful, but Cheval Blanc surpasses them in performance

Absolutely loved it. So luxurious.

The incredible harmony of Cheval Blanc’s luxury with the Maldives’ magnificent sea and nature is truly unforgettable. The perfection of the hotel staff stands out

As for the resort, I guess it s not my cup of tea, plastic thatched roofs are a definitive ethical problem for me, a daily disappointment to watch, we care about the environment and to see so much plastic all around the ocean and nature is something you do not wish to experience

I don t consider this " luxury". On the other hand all staff are super nice and welcoming and they went the extra mile to make us feel cared about, excellent and efficient professionals

I even had the yoga chamber all to myself and spent hours there, which was absolutely wonderful. :) We usually like to try different resorts for new experiences, but this one is definitely a keeper

As guests, we could genuinely feel the culture and hospitality, and we truly appreciated it. The resort is a perfect size — it offers all the amenities you could want, yet it never feels crowded

We successfully caught up with the cute little dolphins this time, and the trip was worth it! This holiday experience in Gili was perfect. It met all my imaginations of an island vacation

We’ve visited the Maldives several times, and this has truly been the best experience we’ve ever had

We stayed over the New Year period, and the resort put on an absolute show—the food was incredible! Our villa was stunning as always, but having a pool this time was a game-changer; it was great to have a private swimming option when it got windy on the other side of the island

What makes a trip to the Maldives better? The view? the Amenities? The size of the Room? The kindness of people working on the island? Having travelled a lot in the Maldives and in the most luxurious places (Waldorf Astoria, Joali, Kani etc

The food and drinks were excellent and overseen by Roman and Chef Felix. We also went of the manta ray and whale shark excursions. In additional to being a great guide, Lynn made her photos available to the group

We had very high expectations and Mirihi Island delivered in every way. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly and the rooms clean and luxurious. The stand out for us was the house reef

Their reopening has been delayed a few times which also meant that we ended up staying for 3 nights at another small 5 star island resort with a wonderful house reef with a high focus on fine dining but we were missing the spirit and heart of Mirihi

We must admit we had been a bit apprehensive if Mirihi would remain the same after the renovation and the rebranding but from the moment we were transferred back to Mirihi, it felt like coming home

We’ve travelled to many tropical islands and Mirihi has the best reef we have ever been fortunate enough to explore. I cannot recomend this place enough

We feel so fortunate and happy that we have been able to make it to Mirihi again. We arrived as part of the very first guests on their first ‘soft' reopening day

This was our 15th resort in the Maldives and we stayed in villa 26 just after the transition from Raffles to The Halcyon We stayed in a spectacular overwater villa reachable only by speedboat from the main island

The room is incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated. It comes with a separate living area and a large pool with exceptional views of the ocean

That said the resort were already working in this and had a visiting experienced chef from Italy revamping the menus etc which was positive. The main bar was stunning and relaxed with a good choice of drinks

A little background music to enhance the ambiance perhaps? Snorkelling the reef was excellent and easily accessible. Service was faultless and the staff friendly and professional

Snorkeling was a highlight, with plenty of marine life just off the island, and there’s a good variety of other water activities to try as well

The team was very friendly and attentive, and you can feel the level of care in how personalized everything is, down to the smallest details
