Hotels in the Maldives

This place is at the top of my list! I loved the rooms—everything is new and beautifully done. The AC works perfectly, the WiFi is fast and reliable, and the staff is absolutely superb. The island itself is charming, the smallest in the Maldives, with a breathtaking beach. I was lucky enough to witness baby sea turtles hatching—an unforgettable experience! If you're looking for a true escape, totally away from the chaos of big cities, this is a little piece of heaven.

New guest house. Convenient location away from noise. Beautiful territory. Friendly staff. You can take excursions through the owner. We rented bicycles and a scooter.

Room was cleaned on everyday basis. Free bicycles, masks and fins. Owner was responsive for all of our requests.

Very clean, nice accomodation, good location. We have rented bikes directly in Villa. Nice breakfast including fresh fruit such as papaya, etc.

Very clean hotel, the room was cleaned every day. Very nice and helpful staff that made us feel like home. They organized everything (trips, speedboat from and to the airport). Hotel is new, well furnished. We would stay here again.

Everything was great about the hotel! The staff is super friendly and the dive experience was phenomenal!

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.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire Isla Retreat team for their exceptional and warm hospitality. Their dedication to creating a memorable experience was evident in every interaction, and we are already eagerly anticipating our next visit to this little paradise on earth. The rooms are stunning. They are not only aesthetically pleasing but also very well designed and very comfortable. Evening turn down service was an added bonus! The bathrooms are also equally stunning, clean and functional. Ismail and his team, especially Akoo, made my family and I feel very welcome. They both offered us great advice. The restaurant is another highlight and comes highly recommended. The food, including the desserts, were absolutely delicious. As a vegetarian, I greatly appreciated how the restaurant went above and beyond to cater to my dietary needs. As a family, we loved every moment spent at Isla Retreat. Highly recommended, cannot wait to return.

Everything is great at Ecoboo. We really enjoyed. The food is very tasty. Nature is beautiful. The beach is very convenient and near. Special thanks to Ibrahim, who helped us. Everything was great. We will definitely return to Ecoboo to stay here again.

This is a new guesthouse and I was one of the first guests to book it. Unfortunately I only stayed one night as the other place was fully booked so I had to move. I stayed in 3 different places on this island and this is what i preferred the most. Clean, spacious and had a nice view from the room. The owner met me upon check in and helped me to book the early morning speedboat as I had to catch my flight the next day. They prepared continental breakfast before I left (6AM) which was also helpful. I recommend this place and may return if I visit Thoddoo again.

First of all, I highly recommend you read it until the end. An excellent facility on a small and quiet local island full of underwater riches. As soon as you put your feet into the water at the tourist beach, you are surrounded by dozens of different species of fish, but swimming with the fish seen on Youtube is a priceless experience. Mr. Ahmad, the owner of the hotel, is a very polite and helpful person. He is very professional in making all the necessary arrangements for you when you arrive from the capital to the island, in welcoming you at the entrance and when you leave the island. If you want to participate in off-island activities, they will help you as much as they can. You have breakfast as an open buffet at the best restaurant on the island. You should definitely try the product made especially from fresh tuna. Among the 4 hotels I stayed in on 4 different islands during my Maldives trip, this was definitely the newest, cleanest and cheapest. I can guarantee that you will feel at home in this hotel. I would also like to consider that restaurants, off-island activities, and many other things on the island are cheaper than on many tourist islands. Also; Mahibadhoo may not be the best island in the Maldives, but it is a fact that there are better ones in terms of nature and tourism. But if you really want to relax in a quiet environment, this quiet and tiny island located in the natural wonder South Ari Atoll is definitely one of the best local islands you can find. Never mind that the tourist beach is smaller than some, because there are only a few people on the beach at most, so the beach is yours! I definitely recommend splitting your Maldives holiday across more than one island, as I did, and devoting at least some of it to this island and this hotel.
