Extras include a Beach bag only in Beachfront Deluxe Bungalow upwards, slippers and an electric kettle. Kurumba’s restaurants boast an impressive variety of cuisines, including Japanese, Indian, and Arabian cuisine. Fez lounge features a wide selection of shisha, cocktails and snacks. Athiri bar is the best spot for gorgeous sunset views, and Kandu bar offers DJ or live music. I loved the way the villa is set up, from the bedroom to the beach—the view is amazing. The staff are very prompt in responding and always there to assist. The breakfast is great, with plenty of choices, including healthy and fresh options. The bathroom is like a celebrity-style facility, making every penny worth it. I should mention a few names who made me feel at home: Anna at reception, Morton, the property manager, who ensures all guests are well taken care of, Niafu, the supervisor who was very helpful, and Saif, who provided an unforgettable shark snorkeling experience.

h78 is an award-winning hotel situated just a stone's throw away from the turquoise blue sea and white sandy beaches of Maldives. We have been recognized for our exceptional customer service for nearly a decade and are one of the oldest hotels in the greater Male' area, offering consistent care and service to our guests. I am very pleased with our experience. Our arrival was well organised by the hotel. We were collected upon arrival at the speed boat terminal and quickly transferred to the hotel. All the staff we met were kind and professional and showed a genuine interest to please their guests. The facilities of the hotel are very clean and well maintained. We had our lunch in their indoor restaurant, "The catch," and our dinner in the rooftop restaurant with fantastic views. Again, staff and food were amazing. On the day we checked out, we were offered to store our laguages at the hotel and the staff organised our transport to the airport late in the evening.

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. We returned to Gangehi Island Resort after spending our honeymoon here ten years ago — and honestly, it felt like coming home. Very little has changed, which we mean as a huge compliment. The same peaceful atmosphere, the same warm smiles, the same effortless kindness from everyone on the island. The resort still keeps its original Maldivian charm — natural, simple, and beautifully laid-back. The tropical vegetation is lush, and the sea is that unreal shade of blue with amazing coral just off the beach. We spotted reef sharks, rays, and even sea turtles while snorkeling. The weather was a bit mixed during our stay, but that’s part of island life — and the staff made up for it in every way. Giorgio, the General Manager, surprised us with a complimentary upgrade from half board to full board — such a generous touch, thank you! The restaurant buffet is uncomplicated but always delicious, mostly fish-based, freshly prepared and served with genuine warmth. The dessert corner deserves a special mention — fresh tropical fruits and homemade ice cream every day. The spa offers excellent massages, and our excursion (even with rough sea) was great fun with beautiful snorkeling spots. The romantic dinner at sunset, with our own waiter and chef, was truly unforgettable — especially the aperitivo at the overwater restaurant. In short, Gangehi remains an authentic Maldivian gem — friendly, relaxed, and made for pure relaxation. We loved every minute and will surely be back again.
