Hotels in the Maldives

Our goal for this getaway was simple: to unwind and escape the everyday. We were drawn to this destination for its promise of seclusion, minimal crowds, attractive pricing, and encouraging reviews for a recently launched establishment. We weren't disappointed – it delivered on all fronts. From the outset, communication with the owner and manager via WhatsApp was seamless and helpful, including arranging our transfers. The island is wonderfully intimate; you can explore its entirety in a gentle 10-minute walk. The tranquility, with so few other visitors, was precisely the atmosphere we craved. The accommodation is new, bright, and tastefully furnished, true to the online photos. The room was well-equipped with air conditioning, a fan, a private bathroom with a shower, a mini-fridge, and a safe. We slept soundly on the comfortable double bed, and daily water was a thoughtful touch. The restaurant offers a core menu, but the kitchen team was incredibly flexible, preparing our requests, and the seafood platter was fantastic. Just make sure you arrange this in advance. One of the most memorable moments was when Nya, having heard my wife’s birthday had just passed, surprised her with a cake and candles while the entire staff sang 'Happy Birthday'. It was a genuinely heartwarming gesture that left my wife overjoyed. Every staff member we encountered was attentive, genuinely welcoming, and always smiling. The pristine beach and crystal-clear water were a daily delight. We had incredible encounters with marine life, spotting turtles, small sharks, and even a graceful stingray. Nya also offered a selection of activities at fair prices, enhancing our experience. Ultimately, this was an impeccable choice for the peaceful and rejuvenating holiday we envisioned. I wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem for those seeking a private, picturesque, and budget-friendly escape.

The owner and his wife have been so handful and friendly. They took care of us, take us to the beach to see the tourtles when we arrived and to the harbor when we left. She did laundry for us and Invite us to have a delicious Maldivian breakfast! The place is brand new! Everything was very clean and working good! It is also well located! Definitely I'll be back and recommend it!

The property is nested in pristine jungle a bit further away from the busy streets and closer to the beach area. There’s a bit of construction happening outside, which does not interfere with you having a great time. The hotel is being run by a highly friendly hospitable family with all the members taking part in looking after you - they are cooking, cleaning, showing you round the island, arranging tours for you, speed boats if you want to explore other places, everyone speaks perfect English. The rooms are clean, spacious and well decorated. There is a no plastic policy in the hotel, which also makes it environmentally friendly. Tea, coffee and breakfast are available in a comfortable lobby area. You can also rent bikes (including bikes with child seats). The staff are very friendly with the kids as well, i could even sometimes leave my son with them while working, which was extremely convenient. The wifi connection allowed me to hold multiple zoom sessions. All in all, i highly recommend this place to everyone who wants to explore this beautiful welcoming island!

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.

We were lucky enough to stay at this wonderful hotel during our holiday in Dhigurah, and we can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. The property is brand new, with a simple yet beautifully designed style, spotlessly clean, and up to full European standards. With only a few rooms, it guarantees peace and privacy — perfect for those seeking relaxation and quiet. But what truly makes this hotel special is the staff: attentive, friendly, always smiling, and ready to help in any situation. One example? We accidentally locked the scooter keys under the seat during a heavy rain… and within minutes, three people of the staff came to help us, without hesitation, in the pouring rain! Such kindness and dedication truly moved us. We felt pampered, welcomed, and cared for with both discretion and professionalism. If we return to Dhigurah — and we truly hope to — we will definitely choose this hotel again! It deserves much more visibility, because it’s a true gem on the island. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our stay so special! 🌺

I had an incredible stay at Hudhufas Villa. The accommodation was absolutely perfect. The room was spacious, clean, and had a lovely balcony that overlooked a beautiful garden. You can tell the owner really cares about the details, from the comfortable amenities to the thoughtful touches throughout the villa. It truly made our vacation even better. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-maintained, and welcoming spot in the Thoddoo!

This hotel was absolutely stunning! The interior design is incredible, with attention to every detail, creating a beautifully stylish and comfortable atmosphere. The staff were all fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The restaurant upstairs was also amazing, offering delicious food in a lovely setting with great views. The absolute highlight though was two very cuddly cats that chilled in the hotel’s lobby area! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

Amazing!!!! If I could give 15/10, I would. The staff is so kind and helpful, the rooms are very nice and clean and the diving is just spectacular. We will definitely be back.

🌴Our stay at Bageechaa Stay was nothing short of spectacular!🏖️ If you’re visiting Dharavandhoo Island, this is the place to stay. From arrival, Shihab, the incredible owner, welcomed us warmly and ensured every detail of our trip was seamless. Whether it was arranging transfers, planning excursions, or adding thoughtful personal touches, his hospitality was outstanding. 🌿A Tranquil Garden Retreat🏡 True to its name, Bageechaa (meaning "Garden") is a beautiful oasis. The central garden creates a calm, relaxing atmosphere, perfect for dining and unwinding. The modern, stylish design gives it an upmarket resort feel at an affordable price. 🚤 Easy Transfers & Convenient Location ✈️ Shihab arranged a speedboat transfer for us and personally picked us up from the harbour. Dharavandhoo also has its own airport, with 25-minute flights from Malé, making travel effortless. We took the speedboat in and flew back—both organised flawlessly by Shihab. 🌊A Paradise for Marine Lovers🐢🦈 The island is near Hanifaru Bay, where majestic manta rays gather seasonally, and close to a whale shark hotspot. Shihab organized amazing excursions—snorkelling, diving and sandbank trips—with trusted local providers. 🍽️Exceptional Dining👨‍🍳 Bageechaa’s in-house restaurant serves delicious, well-presented meals thanks to their talented chef Senaka. He skillfully prepares Maldivian and Western dishes, even adapting meals for our 8-year-old daughter—a rare personal touch! 🏡Outstanding Hospitality – A Home Away from Home❤️ The Bageechaa team, including the kind and attentive Suba, made us feel like family. Whether you're solo, a couple, or a family, they ensure a memorable, comfortable stay. 🌟The Best Choice on Dharavandhoo!🌟 With top-quality rooms, great service, and personal attention, Bageechaa Stay is the best accommodation on Dharavandhoo Island.

hotel is excellent! we spent our holiday there with great Impressions ! Hussain and his brother was very careful and very positive people! we appreciate how they met us and provided us with support and help every day ! room was clean and there was included breakfast. I was curious in such a detail as food on the island and it appeared that there are a lot of options of different cafes, but food in hotel restaurant was the best !

Absolute beach front, incredible staff, beautiful room with balcony and sea views. Great snorkeling, lobster hunting, dinners by candlelight on the beach.

I would rate this place more than 10, if possible. I don't know where to start but we had a great time at Ecoboo. I rarely feel in a "family" like in Ecoboo, the staff was completely available for any request, activities were great and well organized One of the best restaurant I had outside Europe with good choice also for vegetarians Rooms are comfortable with air conditioning and primarily made of bamboo, confirming the sustainable mood of this place
