Hotels in the Maldives

the welcome was amazing!the staff were very friendly and helpful to us from first minute!!made us feel comfortable and safe!

Small,local island with one new great hotel. Owner was very nice and was take care for us like in 6star hotel. Every day fresh fish ( we caught ir alnost every day ) Very quite place great for relax and enjoying local atmosphere.

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

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 cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. Everything was perfect, lovely clean room, very spacious and well equipped. Great breakfast and appreciated tea and coffee always being available. Collected from the harbour and helped us arrange our ferry transfers from the airport, making our journey seamless. Booked 2 excursions with the hotel (manta rays and whale shark snorkelling) both included lunch, and additions we weren’t expecting! Extra reef snorkelling and stopping at another island. Special thank you to Waruna (maybe incorrectly spelt!) who was always around at meals and such a positive person. We really enjoyed chatting to him about our recent trip to Sri Lanka. Also thank you to Anoof and Adheel (again may be spelt incorrectly!) who organised and were on our excursions, really appreciated your expertise and taking care of us, especially when one of us couldn’t find the boat! It really made our trip special. Thank you to Siyam, the hotel truely is a gem and we’d recommend it to everyone.

Our stay at Hudhufas Villa was fabulous. The place was spotless and tidy, cute and cosy. The double bed apartaments on the top floor were very spacious and wonderfully decorated on our arrival, A/C and fan in the rooms, a huge terrace upstairs with a chill out corner and sunbeds. Breakfast in the mornings had a wonderful variety, a mixture of fresh fruits and vegs, omellete, toast, and a whole load of other foods. The owners are happy to prepare anything to make you feel comfortable and at home. But overall, Shifau, the owner, was the person who made our stay this good. From the beginning he was very welcoming and helped us throughout our stay. Anything we needed or asked, he was a great help and always found a solution for us. Very good and warm hearted. 100% recommended.

Food was better than I expected. The retreat also exceeded my expectations with service and cleanliness. I do not think there is anything that I did not like. Being able to mix with the locals made it an amazing experience.

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.

Excellent value for money! Spacious room and bathroom, very comfortable king bed, shower that provides a relaxing bath. The owners, Ahu and Mapple, did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Each day, you can choose between two types of breakfast, the continental and the Maldivian. Without a doubt, a great option!

🌴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.

Everything was great with Dive and sleep ! Dives, food, room and the staff. The Island is very relaxing, an atmosphere far from the big touristy resort. Everything is included in the price, no HIDDEN fee ! For me it’s a no brainer. Thanks to Midhu and all the staff for the fantastic stay !

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