Hotels with pool on first line in Maldives

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 like

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?

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.

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.

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

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

The atmosphere in the restaurant, very peaceful and without queues. What could be improved: The buffet. Sometimes very limited and for those who don't appreciate Asian food it can be difficult to choose

There was a Nespresso machine and tabs were replaced, but not the milk. 2 small bottles (less than 500ml each) are provided every day. The sink is in the room, shower and toilet are outside

We stayed for a week at Drift Thelu Veliga. Very small and very peaceful island. We stayed in the last Water Villa at Jetty (we paid a supplement for this) with excellent views and privacy

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

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 beautiful colors

I had half board, so I had breakfast and dinner included. Breakfast had many choices but I would have liked more variety with the fruit. There was a different cuisine every day, which is repeated weekly

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

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

I want to express my deep gratitude to the whole friendly and cheerful team - captain Batte, Sheggy, Rebit, Vikash and special thanks to my ‘Paparazzi’ Abichi, who took me a million unforgettable photos and videos

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

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 already miss you so much! Thank you for making our stay so memorable

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights, we liked the hotel, it has everything you need, the price-quality ratio) the breakfast is quite normal) the staff was very helpful, they brought us, took our luggage away, promptly resolved issues, organized a boat transfer, the beach is close)

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

Beautiful.... Location near by the eastern beach

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

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.

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

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

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

Flying 250 Km south from Malé International Velana Airport you land at Kadhdhoo. In few minutes by car here it is the Reveries Diving Village, a modern and elegant Hotel overlooking the sea

In front of the Hotel crossing a little palm garden, the beach area, with tables and a little nice tower. far from any disturbing noise! Walking along the beach, close to palms at sunset

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

Just looking at the sea from the balcony was enough to relieve all my tension and I felt totally relaxed. The room was simple yet elegant and it felt so much like home

There is a private beach area dedicated to Reveries and it was beautiful. Highly recommend this place for everyone including families with children

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

Clean accommodation, easy to find, with full services.

As a local island no alcohol is available on the island but there is a floating bar if you get desperate for a few beers but probably only worth it if you are desperate

Momin is a gentleman, very good to saw him in restaurant, he is very friendly! Good to met him, hope him have a wonderful 2026

The reception was unmaned  and check-in takes place at another Kaani hotel which is less than 100 metres away. The reception was efficient friendly and helpful

Maafushi itself has lost the local island feel dominated by hotels but that does mean there are plenty of restaurants and mocktail options

The breakfast also took place at the sister hotel, unfortunately the breakfast was poor

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

Staying at Relax Beach Inn Maldives will allow you to rest and recharge after your long flight, and you'll be able to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to start your Maldives adventure

Additionally, the motel's proximity to the beach and nearby restaurants and shops means that you can easily explore the area and enjoy some local cuisine and culture during your stay

Hulhumale Island also has a beautiful beach and several restaurants and shops, so you can spend some time relaxing and exploring the area before heading on your island trip

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

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

Waking up to the sound and view of the sea was such a treat. The direct access to the beach was a dream – just a few steps and you’re on the sand

The island of Thulusdhoo is charming, peaceful, and full of friendly people. The sea is stunning, with vibrant blue water and coral reefs to explore

In addition, they have the most beautiful and very well-kept garden on the whole island, directly down to the best part of the beach

If you want to live a big surf experience or a relaxing trip in wonderful beaches, you must book in Kahanbu Ocean View!

We can’t recommend Kahanbu enough. Only 100m away from the fake surfer scene but feels like another world. Right next to the boat to Chickens. Cokes easily checked from the garden sunbeds

I recently stayed at Kahanbu Guest House in Thulusdhoo and had such a lovely experience that I just had to share it! From the moment we arrived, our hosts Giulia and Chikaa were incredibly welcoming and kind

Location is fantastic: 2 minutes of walking to the supermarket, ATM, children’s playground (if you have a child), boat station and harbor. 5-10 minutes of walking to the Sunrise beach

20 minutes of walking distance to the Sunset beach. Stadium, mosque and several restaurants were also nearby. I can recommend my Room #5 deep in the territory

There was everything for comfortable stay: large and comfy bed with clean bed sheet, TV, bedside and ceiling lamps, wardrobe, fridge, cloth hangers, ceiling fan, air conditioner and drinking water, bathroom with shower and toilet

The guesthouse features a beautiful and green reception and lounge area, with plenty of cozy spots to sit and relax, especially on the rare rainy days (which only occur during the rainy season)

1 min from the speedboat, 5 min to the small and definitely the best beach on the east side of the island

And Oscar goes to … Dive Villa Thoddoo! Thank you very much, Anna, Rimma and rest of the team of Dive Villa Thoddoo. I enjoyed my stay in your hotel due to your support and care

It's a very good place to access easily if you are traveling 1st time you can get the location near to you and very humble staff including all reception staff and f&b as well always come forward to help and they make you very comfortable😌

The Staff and the location of this property are Awesome!! I'm looking forward to returning, maybe for two weeks next time!!

Excellent staff. Very efficient and extremely friendly. Hotel is centrally located and has good well kept rooms.

Good service and very comfortable hotel Nice rooms, spacious, windows and balcony too

I didn't stay here, but visited some friends and attended some events. So, I have seen the place. I had meals here more than once. Overall, it is a relaxing place.

Excellent service and location.

We were delighted by the professional and kind service that Adam and his staff provided us in Island Host! The guesthouse and its restaurant are very close to each other and have both a wonderful ocean view! Food and drinks are really good and they can also being delivered into your room! Highly recommended the excursion to Raafushi island and the Picnic in Thanburudhoo island! Thank you so much...

Velidhoo is an excellent place to discover the local culture. Island Host was one of few places to stay at the island and probably the best one. Room was crystal clean, cervice was amazing. We had an amazing experience 😊

Relax and snorkelling are the two key words of this amazing holiday. The GuestHouse is comfy and has all the amenities you needs also thanks to Amed who loves to keep it clean and make guests feeling at home

Snorkelling in around this island is simply amazing. You can see many different type of fishes. the one I liked the most was a stingray

We spent 10 days in Velidhoo, a beautiful island where you can experience the real Maldivian lifestyle,traditions and culture

If you are looking to experience Maldives in all his beauty look no further since you will also be living like a Maldivian. We experienced a day trip to a desert island Raafushi and the water looks like a pool

Hotel is also very close to bikiny beach and in close distance are plenty of shops and restaurants. Safe is not fixed so it does not make any sense to have it in the room - please fix it

Strategic location of the hotel, short distance to the beach, professional staff, family and friendly atmosphere, wide range of trips, excellent cuisine

The boss is very welcoming. It's on the beach and very convenient for going out to sea.

Our room was really beaufiful, on the ground floor with direct entry to beach and with outdoor shower. Breakfast was OK, you can always select what you want to eat

We stayed 8 nights at Thundi, and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel is simple, the rooms are clean, and ours had a beautiful sea view

Very good. The breakfast buffet was decent. The balcony overlooks the beach. The room was bigger than I expected. Very satisfied.

I stayed at LVIS Blancura and I received a very warm welcome and great service from the staff here. The location of this small family-owned & operated hotel is right on the beach

For your information, not many hotels on this island are located on the beach, currently, only 4 hotels are located on the beach

The LVIS Blancura is about a 4-5-minute walk along the beach to the harbor and the town itself, where you'll find a variety of shops from gift shops to a well-stocked supermarket and a pharmacy if you need one

Very helpful staff, good aircon and wifi, very clean, and right on the beach!

I have visited the Maldives 7 times, during my first 2 visits, I stayed at Club Med Kani, located near Male. For my 3rd visit, I came to Dharavandhoo because I wanted to swim and snorkel with mantas in the open sea

During my most recent trip, we encountered a large congregation of mantas in Huraafaru, and we jumped into the sea and snorkeled with them! The Snorkeling excursions in Hanifaru Bay is usually the highlight for 99% of overseas visitors who come to Dharavandhoo and the Baa Atoll! Hanifaru Bay is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, where large numbers of mantas congregate to feed on the dense concentration...

Nothing was too much trouble, and they assisted us with every request, making us feel genuinely well looked after throughout. The island itself is an absolute gem, wonderfully authentic, with a wild, untouched feel

Greatness local ️ island one of the best experience in my life here very soft and kindness people living here overall all I want to say they are very helpful when you call for any kind of assistance for every time

The pristine coral reefs are simply stunning (diving is a must), and there are plenty of surprises along the way, including the chance to spot guitar sharks

Razeen is truly the heart and soul of the inn. He and his father went above and beyond to ensure our stay went smoothly from beginning to end

Owners were very very nice and accommodating. Everything was closed on the island. But they made sure we could get 3 meals a day

Which was the best food on the island!! Best Wi-Fi speed in the Maldives also! Rooms are clean and cozy

Good guesthouse, the location is the closest to the beach. the room is large, a large double bed, clean fresh linens and towels, there is hot water (flowing). Maldivian or continental breakfast.

Special thanks to the chef Rasidhil: the dishes were delicious and various, the portions were so huge that we were risking to gain weight😅 As for the guest house itself: a very convenient location, clean rooms, free bicycles

Whenever we had questions, he helped us immediately 🥹 And of course the wonderful Lady who greeted us with a big smile every day and helped with everything 🩷 Breakfasts and dinners delicious (I definitely recommend local meals) The hotel is very close to a beautiful beach, the road to the beach is also amazing

Upon our arrival, they were there to greet us, making us feel immediately welcome. A big thank you to Raushan, the Manager, who went above and beyond to ensure we were happy throughout our stay

From the very beginning, the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Even before we arrived, they proactively shared all the details on how to get from the other island to the hotel

3 stars for localization (very close to the beach) and for staff (very kind and friendly). Unfortunately there were bed bugs and have bitten us. First night we found, and we got another room
