Situated along the coastline of Maafushi, Arena Beach Hotel features modern and tranquil accommodation with free WiFi access in the entire property including rooms. Guests can enjoy water sports activities such as diving, snorkelling and windsurfing on site. I recently spent 3 nights at Arena Beach Hotel, marking my first visit to Maafushi Island. Although I wasn’t fortunate enough to experience sunny weather, it didn’t affect my overall enjoyment. My stay at the hotel was simply amazing. Arrival Experience: From the moment I arrived, everything went smoothly. Check-in was quick and efficient, and I received all the necessary information about the property. Room: My room was stunning—both stylish and comfortable. I’d like to extend special thanks to my housekeeper, Robel, for providing exceptional service. The balcony offered a breathtaking sea view, which I thoroughly enjoyed while sipping my morning coffee. Spa: During my stay, I visited the Arena Spa and received an incredible massage from Therapist Sonam. I highly recommend trying the spa treatments—they’re a must! Excursions: The hotel offers a variety of excursions, and I joined the popular “Half Day Trip.” This included a visit to a local island to see stingrays, swimming with nurse sharks, and lunch on a picturesque sandbank. The experience was unforgettable! I’d like to give a special shoutout to the guides—Kalu, Shani, and Bippu—for their exceptional care, fantastic video captures, and friendly energy throughout the trip. Staff: The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. A big thank you to Reena for assisting me with all my queries. Overall, the entire Arena Team made my vacation truly unforgettable. I can’t wait to return—see you again soon! ❤️☀️🌴

Located on Maafushi Island, Stingray Beach Inn offers a relaxing getaway and a cosy atmosphere. It houses a restaurant, hammocks in the garden, where guests can relax and rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. Our recent stay at Rate Stingray Beach Inn was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome that set the tone for our entire stay. The check-in process was smooth and efficient. We were promptly attended to, with every detail meticulously handled. Our early arrival was accommodated graciously, and we were able to relax in our room after a long journey, which was a true delight! The heart and soul of the hotel must be its fantastic staff! Every individual we encountered was not only professional but also genuinely warm and welcoming. Whether it was providing recommendations, assisting with reservations, and excursions, or simply sharing a friendly chat, the team went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Nestled a stone's throw away from the stunning coastline, the hotel provided unbeatable access to the beach. Morning strolls and sunset gazing became a beloved part of our daily routine, thanks to the pristine sands and azure waters just steps from our accommodation. It was heartening to observe the sustainable practices. Their dedication to minimizing environmental impact while ensuring a memorable stay was truly commendable. A special shout-out to the wonderful team that went the extra mile when we needed to change our location! Transitioning to a new spot can be a hectic process, but the staff ensured it was anything but. They took charge of transferring our luggage, ensuring every piece arrived safely and promptly at our new destination. It was an enormous relief and a testament to their unwavering commitment to guest satisfaction.
