Costs each penny I spent here. Took half board, all was great: meat to choose, side dishes, drinks, pastry. A few but satisfying to me. Stuff was helpful, beach just a minute away.

A true paradise – unforgettable in every way! Stone Hotel in the Maldives exceeded every expectation. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was world-class – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The diving and snorkeling were absolutely breathtaking, with vibrant reefs and incredible marine life. Excursions were perfectly planned and full of unforgettable moments. The rooms were pure luxury – stylish, serene, and always offering stunning views. One of the rare places in the world I will definitely return to. Simply outstanding!

The location of the accommodation is close to the beach. We walked for 2minutes and we were at the crystal clear waters of Thulusdhoo. The attendant Harry was the best. He was at the port to receive us and on the day of leaving he made sure he saw us off at the same port. He also was ready to help us locate good eateries, he was simply the best friend we had in thulusdhoo. The accommodation is near the mosque, I was able to hear adhan from my room and was able to attend magrib congregation prayers. Locals were very welcoming. Excursions organised by Harry were very affordable too.

It's a small new cozy Gest with spacious rooms. Gesthaus is located near the Beach. The soul of this Gesta is AhmedKhali, his concern is felt at every stage of stay. It helps to solve the issues related to the stay on the island - whether it is excursions, transfer or bbq from fresh fish. I definitely recommend to visit.

Perfect from start to finish - the rooms are very comfortable, the bathrooms modern (no wet shower which is a huge plus for me!), the staff are absolutely lovely, and Lola, the manager, is exceptionally kind and provides a 6 star service throughout your stay (and even before when arranging transfers over WA). A water station is available to refill your bottle whenever you please. A short walk to the bikini beach and the hotel arranges great excursions (I saw mantas and a whale shark!). I’ll definitely be back :)

Our Maldives experience was wonderful! We had a grand water villa with a beautiful terrace, with corals and fishes at 10m going down to the sea from the terrace. The views were magnificent. The hotel spreads on 3 islands (we were on the second one, Dream - very good) with different pools, bars and activity areas, some reserved only to adults which was definitely a plus for when we wanted some peaceful and romantic time. There are plenty of restaurants that you can try (our favorite was the thai place). You need to book in advance but as we were half board and exploring restaurants for lunch and not for diner, we always found a spot while booking the day before through the app. The massage we got was amazing. Food and service at the buffet are of great quality. Water is free and available in all bars and restaurants, which we appreciated a lot (no water bottles floating around). The last island is is only for adults and is like another branch: you need a different app and you can't participate to the sport activities organized there. However, the sport activities organized by Kristina on the main island and dream were great to stay in shape during the holidays. There is an electric bus doing the back and forth between islands (take it from the start or it can be full). The snorkeling experience around the hotel and in the excursions (3 points snorkeling for us) was amazing: colorful fishes, sharks, turtles, rays, etc. The room is very large, comfortable and clean with a formidable room boy called Noor who was always smiling, attentive and preparing some decorations in the room. He was discreet and coming twice a day to the room when convenient for us. To note that when arriving at the airport, you are waiting for the boat in the food court where there are not always space to seat as all hotels use the same approach: after a long trip, this is not the favorite part but we only waited 30 to 45 min to get a boat.

A truly exceptional resort! From the facilities to service, to amenities, food, location...everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was amazing and everyone was happy to go above and beyond to offer anything to the guest. From the moment we landed since the time we were dropped at the airport for departure, the staff was there to guide us, answer all our questions, and take care of any kind of need and special requests. These people are excellent professionals and deserve recognition for their efforts! Special shoutout to Dilhara on the north buffet, he was such a good dude. The overwater jacuzzi villa was perfect for us, spacious, comfortable, clean, and extremely well-equipped. The attention to detail was on point. I loved the semi-open shower so much. The sea decks too! Now for the island...the word paradise is an understatement!! The environment there was far beyond anything that we could ever imagine. The crystal clear waters, white sand, lush vegetation, coconut trees...DREAM!! Resort facilities were also amazing. Pools, Gym, Outdoor sports, game rooms...oh, and the SPA: This experience was by far the best in our lives. We booked a mix of Balinese, Thai & a 3rd style that I cannot remember and it was out of this world. 60 minutes of pure relaxation and enjoyment. The ladies at Duniye Overwater Spa were exceptional! 10/10 experience do not miss out on this one. If you're looking to unwind and relax in the Maldivian Paradise while friendly and happy people are there for you anytime, book your stay in Meeru!

Our stay at Embudu Village Resort was absolutely perfect! Everything was exactly as arranged before: they picked us up in Malé on time and transferred us smoothly by boat. We stayed for 7 days with full board, which was more than enough — delicious food with many options, much better than expected! We were a bit worried we might get bored, but the island offers plenty of affordable activities like snorkeling (the marine life is incredible!), night fishing (and they cook your catch the next day), and more. The island, rooms, and all areas were spotlessly clean at all times. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. Every day, we received 1 liter of water per person in the room; we also brought some extra water, so we didn’t need to buy more, as full board covers drinks only at breakfast (tea/coffee). The only small downside was the Wi-Fi coverage, which was quite poor — but honestly, it didn’t disturb us at all, as we spent most of our time enjoying the island and only checked our phones briefly at night. It was truly an amazing, relaxing experience — highly recommended!

Wonderful experience staying here. The pickup from the airport, the boat transfer, the check in at 11:30pm at night all was great. The Ocean front villa was beautiful, well kept. The snorkelling just off the back door with alot of fish around and the water so clear and pristine. The brekky buffet spread was huge and everything was great quality. The Cafe and restaurants were great. The staff are so welcoming friendly and warm and well trained. Make you feel tended to. The Dolphin tour was well organised and the boys on the boat were so helpful and accommodating and we were able to see Dolphins. The Shark/Sandbar/Reef tour was amazing too, with the Watersports boys friendly, helpful and ever so accommodating. The small things such as scented towels, the custom flip flops and a letter/reminder the night before check out to fill in the online departure form, allowing a free boat ride to the airport again the next day to pickup family. Overall a blissful 5 Star vacation !!! We didn't feel like leaving !!!

The staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. A special mention goes to Ahmed from the cleaning staff and Elena at reception, whose attention to detail and care truly enhanced our experience. While we won’t name everyone individually, we deeply appreciated the impeccable service across all restaurants and the efficiency of the shuttle drivers. Every interaction reflected the team’s dedication to creating unforgettable memories for their guests. We highly recommend Lux South Ari Atoll and can’t wait to return!

Thank you for fast and smooth boat transfer, did’t have to wait at Male airport. Also thank you for early check-in so we could enjoy the holiday as soon as possible (this is the thing that is not usually available in hotels). We got villa 181 with beautiful sand beach and view with sea and palms. Not windy, calm & clear water. The island has about 15 beaches, explored them all by bicycle or walk. The beaches were really beautiful. Delicious food at breakfast and Rhabarbaro restaurant for dinner. Especially like breakfast buffet with choice of a la carte menu.

Maafushi is, overall, a great place – the people are friendly and welcoming. The weak point is definitely the services. When it comes to hotels, don’t expect luxury. In my opinion, for what you actually get, it’s overpriced. One big plus is that Maafushi gives you more freedom. You’re not tied to a resort – you can move around, explore, go jogging if you want, and enjoy the island on your own terms. You can book trips easily, there’s stuff to do, and it doesn’t feel restrictive.

Hulhumale despite being busy like the rest of Male has an airy feel to it with lots of greenery - almost colonial. The East side is quiet for traffic although it's close to the seaplane flight paths - I didn't find that intrusive. The West side has the harbour with the ferry terminal and where the liveaboards anchor between trips. When I was there there had been a lot of recent building work so I would avoid staying there. Lots of options for buying fresh fruit and vegentables if you need and a range of places to eat at different price ranges.

We LOVED Dhiffushi!

We LOVED Dhiffushi! A real taste of a local island, the thing that struck us was how quiet and peaceful it was. We wandered everywhere on foot and loved that the roads are all sand. We were there in monsoon season and experienced some storms but they were short and everyone just gets on with stuff. There was some rubbish washed up on the non-hotel beach areas but most hotels keep their areas spotless. Both bikini beaches were absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend Dhiffushi as a real gem of a local island. As an added bonus, we could not believe how cheap everything was too!

I loved the proximity to Male for ease of arrival and departure. I also loved looking at the city lights from afar, whilst being separated by stunningly turquoise waters and the gentle sounds of lapping waves. The marine life in the lagoon was plentiful and beautiful, and I had many marine visitors near my villa at all hours of the day. The snorkelling with sharks-excursion was probably the single best experience, but the resort itself was the star of the whole experience. The quality of the villa (amazing bed, wonderful toiletries from L'Occitane, the view, the constant refill of free fresh water and Nespresso coffee) and the rest of the resort (amazing food, world-class spa) was the stuff of holiday dreams!

An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life. And mind you, I have visited many seas in many countries! For food, I recommend the restaurant at the Dhiguveli hotel and the Teapot restaurant. Getting around the island is very easy; you can reach any place quickly on foot. Don't miss going to the sandbank at one of the ends of the island.

I didn't like that the island lost most of it's green and I didn't see the wild nature I prefer. There was a lot of construction going on the moment I was there, I felt discomfort because of that. And maybe in 1-2 years it's going to be over I think. But on the other hand there's just amazing diving on the house reef and nearby reefs. There's a lot of nice restaurants and there was no day I felt bored.

The people that work there in the island are very genuine and polite and helpful, always smiling. They make your time there very pleasant. Don’t forget to tip them. Jr and Anastasia from the club house coordinators are amazing and multi talented individuals. Don’t miss their daily sport activities by the pool.
