Hotels in the Maldives

I had an unforgettable stay at Handhuvaru Maldives. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful, making me feel right at home. I loved cycling through the beautiful palm forest, enjoying fishing excursions, and visiting the private island where I experienced some of the best snorkeling ever. I rate this paradise 11 out of 12 and can’t wait to return soon! ❤️

This was probably the best vacation I’ve ever had! The true definition of peace and quiet, not only because of the absolutely stunning surrounding natural beauty, but mostly, because all the staff make their best to create an unforgettable experience for the guests. The cleaning service is flawless, food is delicious - most fresh and tasty fish ever - and the private beach feels like an absolute dream. The room has lovely features, the bed is really comfortable, and everything has a very nice, tradicional (but modern) decoration. Many thanks to the owner Rasheed, for always looking after me and encouraging me to make the most of my days in Rakeedhoo. Also Niyah, for being one of the best hosts ever, along with all the rest of the staff, for so kindly always paying attention to detail in order to make me the most comfortable possible. It’s also quite easy to create friendships in between guests, as this friendly environment is promoted by the hotel owner. There are also many other activities available, such as bank sand excursion, snorkeling with turtles, dolphin watching, etc. The staff kindly provides all the necessary informations to the guests.

Amazing service, such a new hotel, the staff truly went above & beyond!! Transferring me around when I needed to get places on time, even lending me their own iPhone cord when I lost mine & their laptop when mine broke 🤣🥹🫶 such kind lovely people, and wow such a delicious breakfast too! Highly recommend, thanks for the best stay 🥰

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

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.

The owners of this small accommodation are very friendly and helpful. The days were filled with various little surprises. While many resorts may be lavish and expensive, Mandhoo Island offers an original experience of Maldivian life! Highly recommend to anyone looking for something authentic and unique.

Comfortable, clean rooms, well equiped. Very friendly staff, always ready to help. Good communication. We really enjoyed our stay here. A lot of options for trips around the island.

Dive and Sleep is the perfect place for divers. Jarda and Midhoo and their team took us out on 3 different dives every day and made sure that we had a great time. There was so much underwater wildlife - it was amazing. And unlike other resorts there were no hidden fees, everything was included in the price. The local island is small and perfect for little walks, not so much for swimming during low tide. The rooms were spacious and clean and the 3 meals were fantastic.

The garden and its caretaker Nirmal. I would like to state that Nirmals treat was the key to our relaxing stay. He anticipated all our needs, I never been talking care of so well before.

Having traveled extensively across the Maldives, I can confidently say that Bageecha Stay is the best guesthouse I have ever experienced. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this was more than just a place to stay—it felt like home, thanks to the incredible hospitality and warm atmosphere created by the host, Ismael, and his exceptional team. Ismael went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of my visit was perfect. His attention to detail, deep knowledge of the island, and genuine care for his guests made my stay unforgettable. Whether organizing activities or sharing insights about local life, his passion for hospitality truly shone through. Every meal was a masterpiece, combining fresh local ingredients with remarkable skill and creativity. From mouthwatering Maldivian delicacies to innovative international dishes, each bite was a treat. I can honestly say it was some of the best food I’ve had in the Maldives, and I looked forward to every meal during my stay. The guesthouse itself was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, offering a perfect balance of modern amenities and local charm. Its location on Dharavandhoo is ideal for exploring the stunning beauty of Baa Atoll, from its pristine beaches to the incredible underwater world of Hanifaru Bay. Bageecha Stay is a shining example of what guesthouses in the Maldives should strive to be. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, warm, and unforgettable Maldivian experience. Thank you, Ismael and Seneca, for making my stay so special—I can’t wait to return!
