The rooms are very comfortable, cleaned twice a day – thank you, Shayan, for keeping everything spotless.

An Unforgettable Paradise: The Perfect Snorkeling and Beach Getaway I recently had the privilege of staying at this incredible beach hotel, and it was nothing short of a dream come true. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and an impeccable level of service that made me feel like royalty. The staff were genuinely kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect in every way. The hotel itself is situated close to a pristine stretch of beach that feels like a slice of heaven. The soft, powdery sand and the crystal-clear turquoise waters are picture-perfect. Whether lounging under a swaying palm tree or taking a leisurely stroll along the shore, every moment was blissful. But the highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the snorkeling excursions. The hotel offers some of the best-organized and professionally guided tours I’ve ever experienced. The guides were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made every effort to ensure we had an unforgettable time exploring the vibrant underwater world. The reefs were teeming with colorful marine life, from schools of tropical fish to graceful sea turtles and even the occasional stingray. It felt like swimming through a living aquarium! The accommodations were equally impressive. My room was spacious, beautifully decorated. Falling asleep there and waking up to the sunrise over the sea was a magical experience. Dining at the hotel was another highlight. The on-site restaurants served fresh, delicious meals with a variety of options to suit every palate. I particularly loved the seafood dishes, which were expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. Every detail of this boutique beach hotel has been carefully curated to provide an unforgettable experience. Whether you're looking to relax on the beach, immerse yourself in underwater adventures, or simply soak up the warm hospitality, this place has it all. I can’t recommend this hotel enough—it truly is a paradise on Earth.

Situated along the coastline of Maafushi, Arena Beach Hotel features modern and tranquil accommodation with free WiFi access in the entire property including rooms. Guests can enjoy water sports activities such as diving, snorkelling and windsurfing on site. I recently spent 3 nights at Arena Beach Hotel, marking my first visit to Maafushi Island. Although I wasn’t fortunate enough to experience sunny weather, it didn’t affect my overall enjoyment. My stay at the hotel was simply amazing. Arrival Experience: From the moment I arrived, everything went smoothly. Check-in was quick and efficient, and I received all the necessary information about the property. Room: My room was stunning—both stylish and comfortable. I’d like to extend special thanks to my housekeeper, Robel, for providing exceptional service. The balcony offered a breathtaking sea view, which I thoroughly enjoyed while sipping my morning coffee. Spa: During my stay, I visited the Arena Spa and received an incredible massage from Therapist Sonam. I highly recommend trying the spa treatments—they’re a must! Excursions: The hotel offers a variety of excursions, and I joined the popular “Half Day Trip.” This included a visit to a local island to see stingrays, swimming with nurse sharks, and lunch on a picturesque sandbank. The experience was unforgettable! I’d like to give a special shoutout to the guides—Kalu, Shani, and Bippu—for their exceptional care, fantastic video captures, and friendly energy throughout the trip. Staff: The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. A big thank you to Reena for assisting me with all my queries. Overall, the entire Arena Team made my vacation truly unforgettable. I can’t wait to return—see you again soon! ❤️☀️🌴

Located just a 10 minute drive away from Male International Airport, Hotel Ocean Grand offers cosy and comfortable accommodation and a 24-hour front desk to assist guests at all hours. Free WiFi access is available throughout the property including all rooms. The staff were very friendly. They even called our next hotel to coordinate a drop off time at the hotel. It is well located across the road from the beach and near restaurants and cafes. They upgraded us and also they let us check in early. Decent choice at breakfast and the restaurant is on the 7th floor with great views. The views of the beach are great from the room. The shower is very powerful and they provide full amenities. The room is not as big as other places but we are from Europe where the rooms are much smaller. Aircon was nice and not too noisy. We ate in the restaurant for dinner and was pleasantly surprised at the price considering the views and quality of the food. Staff are very attentive. The pick up and drop off service was very smooth.

Located on the outskirts of North Ari Atoll, Gangehi Island Resort & Spa features a diving school, spa, and a long sand bank. It offers rooms situated over water, on the beach, or within tropical gardens. A wonderful resort on a beautiful island. We stayed in the Deluxe Overwater Villa, which was luxuriously furnished and equipped. The entrance directly from the terrace to the water was amazing. They cleaned twice every day and refilled the water bottles in the morning. They cook excellently in the restaurant. A large selection of local and Italian cuisine at dinner. Also fish every day. The kitchen staff also took care of our gluten-free diet - they baked gluten-free bread and pastries and prepared gluten-free pasta. Free water served at dinner. Beautiful sandy beaches with a coral reef with fish, turtles and reef sharks. Attentive staff. We recommend it to everyone.
