Offering an indoor pool and a restaurant, Plumeria Maldives is located in Vaavu Atoll Thinadhoo. Free WiFi access is available.

Each air-conditioned room here will provide you with air conditioning and a balcony. There is also a dining table. The private bathroom also comes with a hairdryer. You can enjoy sea view from the room. Extras include a minibar and a seating area. This is the best place we’ve visited in Maldives. 100% value for money. Small and very nice island with perfect beaches. Plumeria provides great buffet meals, with a huge variety of local & international cuisine, for absolutely adequate cost (just 20$ per person - it’s REALLY AMAZING). You will be able to sit outside, right by the water, enjoy morning sea & island views, as well as night sky and safe sharks swimming right beneath you. What an amazing experience! Azeez, the host, makes sure there’s also something special happening every evening - local dance shows, special dinners for returning guests, tea parties and much more. Every evening at 7:30 pm you can witness sharks feeding process right near the restaurant, a must-see attraction! You really don’t need anything else during your holiday. Plumeria has it all. It was the best place we stayed amongst 3 other locations on diffetent islands. We also enjoyed boat dinner for $65 per person. Absolutely worth it. You get delicious food privately cooked for you at the boat. They do fishing right before cooking, meaning you eat the freshest fish. It takes around 3-4 hours, a bit away from islands, you can watch sunset on the roof of a boat while they cook your dinner. Hoping to return again some day.

Located within less than 1 km of Artificial Beach and a 4-minute walk of Sultan Park in Male City, Sala Boutique Hotel provides accommodation with seating area. With a garden, the 4-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The guest house features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. A Wonderful Stay at Sala Boutique Hotel Our experience at Sala Boutique Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Mr. Thomas, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. His dedication and passion for hospitality are evident—he personally oversees the business from 5:30 am until midnight, ensuring every guest is 100% satisfied. The staff at Sala Boutique Hotel were equally impressive—humble, empathetic, and always ready to assist with a smile. The hotel itself is a tranquil haven in the bustling city of Male. It is impeccably clean, with no noise disturbances, providing a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation. The mattress, linens, pillows, and even the toilets were of the highest standard, reflecting the hotel's commitment to quality and guest comfort. A highlight of our stay was the complimentary breakfast, which was both delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Additionally, the hotel's Thai restaurant is truly a gem in Male, offering the best Thai cuisine we have ever tasted. The chefs are experts, crafting authentic dishes that transport you straight to Thailand. The romantic ambiance of the restaurant, enhanced by soft music, dim lighting, and beautiful candles, made dining there a memorable experience. If you plan to visit Male, Sala Boutique Hotel should be your top choice. Even if you’re exploring the islands for a day pass, this hotel makes for an ideal destination. From the bottom of our hearts, we extend our deepest gratitude to Mr. Thomas and his incredible team for making our stay unforgettable. Thank you for your unmatched hospitality!

Sun Siyam Vilu reef offers a relaxing beachside experience with its spacious villas, an outdoor pool and an on-site diving centre. A gym and 2 restaurants are also available.

The air-conditioned villas are elegantly decorated with wooden flooring and furnishings. Enjoying views of the beach or ocean, each is equipped with a cable/satellite TV, Chinese TV channels, hot water showers and a minibar. The villas also come with free toiletries and slippers. Free WiFi is available in the rooms. We traveled from the airport to the resort in a seaplane by trans Maldivian airways. Waited at their lounge, which was amazing. It had swings, beds, spa, kids zone etc. It was right next to the airport, and was a luxurious lounge with great food and view. Our grandwater pool villa had the best view ever. It had a very big pool and is totally worth the money! At resort, the staff would wish us whenever and wherever they see us and its a very welcoming environment. When we’re eating, staff would come and ask for feedback. Most of the working staff is Indian. Among memorable staff were Vijay, Reddy and Dilshad, who provided good service. Food is expensive but good. Buffets at Aqua restaurant are the best in terms of quantity and quality and speed, and has lots of vegetarian food options. Had the best jalebi rabdi there. Avoid the other two restaurants since you need to wait 1+ hour for the food to arrive, and quantity is less. We did scuba diving, saw fish and corals, learnt from a Russian instructor. Saw Maldivian cultural night show - music and dance. Played table tennis, badminton, and pool. Fed the fish from our deck. Highly recommend a stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef!

Located on the outskirts of North Ari Atoll, Gangehi Island Resort & Spa features a diving school, spa, and a long sand bank. It offers rooms situated over water, on the beach, or within tropical gardens. A wonderful resort on a beautiful island. We stayed in the Deluxe Overwater Villa, which was luxuriously furnished and equipped. The entrance directly from the terrace to the water was amazing. They cleaned twice every day and refilled the water bottles in the morning. They cook excellently in the restaurant. A large selection of local and Italian cuisine at dinner. Also fish every day. The kitchen staff also took care of our gluten-free diet - they baked gluten-free bread and pastries and prepared gluten-free pasta. Free water served at dinner. Beautiful sandy beaches with a coral reef with fish, turtles and reef sharks. Attentive staff. We recommend it to everyone.
