Hotels in the Maldives

The structure is new and very clean in a perfect position to enjoy your holiday. A few hundred meters from the bikini beach, equipped with free umbrellas and deck chairs, you will find a blue hole where you can snorkel. The indoor and outdoor spaces are well balanced and equipped to make you spend a comfortable holiday, comfortable beds, air conditioning, a safebox and refrigerator in the room, but the real strength of the Ratthei is its staff: a very warm welcome that does not stop on arrival but continues throughout your stay. Nya and Rattha always involve you with pleasant chats and benevolent smiles, the waiters and chefs always ready to satisfy your requests, and then the dear and industrious Bebe who waters the plants every morning and evening, the Uncle who speaks Italian, the Captain who takes you on excursions, and everyone present in the structure, in short, after a few hours you already feel like part of the family and you no longer want to leave. If you want to do water sports you can use the canoes and sup for free. We hope to return soon to visit our new Maldivian friends in this truly special island, where the people are warm and very kind, thanks to everyone for making our holiday unforgettable.

A new guesthouse—clean, tidy, and completely insect-free. The rooms have everything you need, and the property is well-maintained and pleasant. There’s a fully equipped kitchen where guests can use everything, including a constant supply of cold drinking water. A washing machine is also available. The internet is excellent! Both of us worked from our room via Wi-Fi without any issues. Housekeeping was outstanding! The breakfast was amazing—fresh fruits, juices, and, most importantly, delicious local dishes were included. Breakfast was served at a convenient time, making our mornings even better. The hosts are simply fantastic. During the rainy days, umbrellas immediately appeared in the house for all guests. They were incredibly attentive and responsive, providing us with snorkeling fins and anything else we needed. Their generosity was truly heartwarming. And a special thank you for making our celebration unforgettable! My husband and I share the same birthday, and the hosts surprised us with something truly special. March 7, 2025, will forever remain in our hearts, just like these wonderful people. Thank you, Thoodoo! Thank you, Rangali! A huge thanks to the hosts and staff for an incredible stay. You are in our hearts! This trip felt like a true piece of the Maldivian soul. Highly recommended!

I rarely write reviews, but with such outstanding service, I just can't help but give a perfect 10! I want to thank the hotel team for their warm welcome. They have their own speedboat that takes you from the airport to the island. At the start of the island, an electric bus picks you up and brings you directly to the hotel. What follows is a delightful surprise and a seamless check-in to a cozy room with panoramic windows, refreshing air conditioning, and a stunning view. A big thank you to the entire hotel team for: The complimentary island tour. The fact that the most beautiful beach on the island is just steps away from the hotel. The delicious breakfasts and dinners. The daily room cleaning. The nighttime fishing experience. Atif’s assistance with excursions, where he acted as a guide and ensured everything went smoothly. The team also provides plenty of free snorkeling gear, including masks, fins, and vests, which was fantastic. Special thanks for surprising my brother with a birthday cake—it was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. Atif, Ahmed, and the entire team—you’re the best! Thank you for making our stay unforgettable!

A great place for a long stay on Thoddoo. Here are some of the pros of Hudhufas Villa: - Excellent location: 5 min’ walk to the sunrise beach, 10-15 min to the sunset beach. Most shops and restaurants are within 1-8 min. - Nice, bright, and clean rooms. Special mention for the comfortable mattresses and pillows, as well as the quiet night mode of the air conditioner (which is not always the case). - Daily cleaning and regular linen changes. - The villa itself is very pleasant, with a garden full of various plants, common areas both indoors and outdoors (on the first floor and on the terrace). It's worth noting that the guesthouse has only four rooms, so it won’t be crowded. - Convenient facilities for preparing meals: in addition to small refrigerators in the rooms, there is a large shared refrigerator with a freezer, a kettle, a toaster, a stove, and all necessary tableware. - We had a stay with breakfast included - and it was hearty and delicious. Three breakfast options, all very tasty. There are always some fruits available at the breakfast. - The villa has four bicycles available for use. - Many thanks to the owner, Shifau, who always was very nice and helpful, and fully dedicated to his work.

This hotel is really something special. Shiyam and his team are very friendly and helpful. He takes time for his guests and is not only a very pleasant person but also an excellent host. The entire hotel is designed with attention to detail, from the rooms to the relaxed courtyard. The name “Oasis” is 100% accurate. The rooms are very clean and new. The authentic food is always delicious and there are many different activities on offer, such as snorkeling trips, renting bikes or motorbikes. There's really nothing negative to report. I will come here again when I return to the beautiful island of Dhigurah. Thank you very much Shiyam and see you next time

Very nice and quiet location. The best local island experience. The host is very friendly and provides all the information you need. Many options for day trips and activities in reasonable prices.

Very beautifully designed with very peaceful ambiance. Rooms are just like in the photos. Staff is very nice and friendly. This is a small hotel which makes it very intimate and comfortable. They have the best cocktails and very good food. Snorkeling at the beach is also very good unlike in huge resorts where they cleared the reefs. Really enjoyed our stay.

great facilities, very comfortable what was important for us. very nice pick up and the food was very good!

The Island Very highly recommended for a peaceful and authentic experience on the small island of Dhidhdhoo, South Ari Atoll (pron. DeeDoo). With a population of only 213, there are all facilities one could need including a small hospital, pharmacy, grocery and souvenir shops and even a new playground. The island is also immaculately maintained with all trails through the jungle swept regularly. Hotel This is a small, newly built guesthouse which is in excellent condition and immaculately clean. The rooms have very comfortable beds with ensuite bathrooms and a porch opening directly onto the beach. A charming communal eating area even has a free soft drinks fridge which is a nice touch. The excellent chef, Haroon, prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner (all included in the price) and is most friendly and helpful. Scuba Diving Do not have any concerns about the quality and professionalism of the dive centre even though this is a remote island. The diving school has only been open for a year so all the equipment is almost brand new and of very high quality. The dive instructor, Midhoo, is possibly the best I have ever dived with and has 30 years' experience in running dive centres across the Maldives. He improved my skills considerably over just a couple of days. As this is a small location, I was the only diver and we managed to see grey and whitetip reef sharks, turtles, rays, fabulous corals and and abundance of fish. The drift dives were a particular highlight and I felt completely safe during these trips. I could not have wished for more from the boat Captain Yoosuf and special thanks to the dive assistant, Mohamed for his attention to my safety and good humour. If you want a truely peaceful escape with no crowds, beautiful deserted beaches and a top quality diving experience, this is hard to beat, and for 3 dives per day including all equipment hire, a genuine bargain.

An absolute gem in the Maldives. The island is amazing and still pristine, the locals are very friendly and the hotel itself is AMAZING. It gives you a feeling of staying at a friends house. They also have Fina diving centre, the first free diving school in the Maldives. Free diving with Ismail (the owner) was the best possible way to explore the island and the rich ocean life.

I had an exceptional stay at this hotel, and I can't recommend it enough. From the moment I arrived, the service was top-notch. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive to every detail, ensuring that my check-in was smooth and hassle-free. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities I could possibly need. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I had one of the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time. The hotel’s facilities were impressive as well. The on-site restaurant served delicious meals, and I thoroughly enjoyed breakfast each morning with a wide variety of fresh options. The location was perfect—conveniently close to the beach but tucked away enough to provide a peaceful retreat. I also appreciated the complimentary shuttle service, which was provided when I left the hotel. Overall, my stay exceeded all expectations. The combination of exceptional service, comfort, and amenities made for a truly memorable experience. I look forward to returning and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect getaway.

It was on a very good location, 5 min walk from the beach (you cant be closer) and nearby are a lot of restaurants. It was very clean, the staff cleaned it daily, food was also very very good Could not recommend enough
