Hotels in the Maldives

Very friendly staff and owners, always greeting us with a smile and catering to our needs. The hotel is brand new and has many nice details, for example, every night the tables were set up on the beach so you could have a romantic dinner. Also, the beach is beautiful and amazing for snorkeling. Almost no tourists on the island so it truly felt like a private get-away. Highly highly reccomend going here - the experience is much better than the classic resorts. We hope to come back!

This is exactly the type of accommodation that will be remembered for life because it has that perfect mix of beauty, comfort and hospitality. At the center of it all is the host Shifau. He's super kind and welcoming and sooo laid back. You will immediately slow down and relax like never before. The day starts with a breakfast of your choice - we opted for Maldivian every day and the mas huni (prepared by Shifau's mother) was so tasty and nutritious that you forget about being hungry for the rest of the day. The room is large with good air-con (we appreciated the low-noise mode at night). The bed is comfortable and perfect after a whole day at the beach snorkeling. The garden surrounding the villa is fantastic and there is also a terrace upstairs to relax in the evening. Imho location is also great, as it's close to the western beautiful side of the island and you can easily reach the 2 bikini beaches through lush plantations and coconut groves. We initially thought bicycles are needed (and Shifau can organize some for you), but in the end we walked everywhere because that's so enjoyable as there is always something to observe. We also opted for one dinner at the beach. Shifau and his team can organize it for you and we thought it's a magical experience: you will enjoy good food, barefoot, while watching the sun go down.

Everything! Staff, chef/food, cleanliness, help with activities, etc, etc

Of all the travels that we have done and all the hotels that we have stayed in so far, we have never experienced such an attentive host, for all the requests, be it our choice of breakfast be it arranging water sports or anything else the host went above and beyond to ensure we have a pleasant stay throughout, it is also as a very budget friendly island with all facilities available.Highly recommended for any families planning to visit Maldives to visit Gaafaru and stay in Futtaru Sands.

All of the staff were very nice and caring, all the dives were amazing, very quiet and chill environment. Meals are amazing! All the three of them.

The location is perfect, you can see the whole beauty of nature just in few minutes of walking, blue lagoon is amazing, the staff is great, the chef is very good, the food and coffee is gorgeous. I would like to come back.

Designer hotel, outstanding facilities. Beautiful views from any window! Very prompt and kind assistance of all staff. Chef will serve you a local reef fish like in a 5 star hotel. Absolutely loved our stay. Don’t forget to visit wild white sand bikini beach with sand banks, which is at the very end of the island🏝️ , it’s impressive.

This place is absolutely stunning! They’ve done an amazing job preserving the island’s natural beauty, and everything is focused on sustainability. The staff are super polite and professional they take care of every little detail from the moment you land in Malé. The boat ride is quite long but so worth it. We were welcomed with drinks and cold towels, and had a quick briefing to get to know the hotel concept and all the activities. Luis and Lucy were always around and ready to help with anything we needed! The buffet was incredible every single day fresh, healthy, and super tasty. Big shoutout to Ridoy and Rassika, who made us feel right at home every time we went to grab something to eat 🤍 I had the best massage in their spa, it’s a beautiful and clean space. The tours were amazing, especially the Ecoboo cruise. Inke and Ayan made everything more fun and captured the best memories for us with awesome photos and videos. Can’t recommend it enough I’ll definitely be coming back!

If you plan on staying in Thoddoo, I definitely recommend Chillax. The hotel is situated in the center of the island with a 15 minute walk to either of the two Bikini beaches. The rooms are cleaned everyday, fresh towels and bedsheets are provided every 2-3 days. The staff is friendly and ready to help if you need anything (you can borrow bicycles, snorkeling equipment, beach towels). Food was delicious but be sure to be at breakfast/lunch/dinner on time because it disappears fast :D We had a great vacation here.
