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.

The hole place had a really nice vibe. The garden was amazing, the room was clean and well-maintained. The customer service was excellent, the owner was really helpful and kind. The breakfast was delicious and fresh every time. They also provided additional programs like snorkelling and night fishing which were amazing. There was also an option to have dinner at the accomodation. The portion was really big and the food was really tasty. All in all this accomodation is one of the best place I’ve ever stayed. Thank you chillax Thoddoo for making my vacation unforgettable!

    Superb - What previous guests thought, 550 reviews
    Overall, all was great, best vacation we've had, wonderful honeymoon! Location was amazing, we got a sunset water villa with a jacuzzi, rays would swim around our stairs, it was 5 meters snorkeling to the reef. Food was awesome, varied, buffet style, we tried both all inclusive and full board. We found the latter more cost effective as we didn't drink that many coctails and water was included for all meals, plus tea/coffee/juice for breakfast. I highly recommend the candlelight dinner at the beach with grilled lobster. We had an amazing server, Shafan, who took excellent care of us for 3 hours. Best and most romantic dinner I've had, and I've had many! We spent nine days and always had plenty to do. We snorkeled every day. Vilamendhoo has a wonderful live reef. We saw a turtle, eagle and sting rays, sharks (I'm in general very wary of these creatures and had some apprehension coming in but these were cute and harmless), a muray eele, and all sorts of wonderful colorful fish. Bring a gopro camera! We took a full day trip looking for whale sharks, turtles, and manta rays. We missed the whale shark by about 15 minutes but swimming with manta rays was memorable. We did 5 our six snorkels with them, led by a great guide Haisham. Afterwards he was kind enough to send us cool pictures and a video from the day. The all inclusive package also includes a 30 minute photo shoot. We got some great pictures out of it, like a postcard, no filter. Other highlights included night snorkeling (we'll have to come back for fluo), windsurfing, seeing cool birds and orange fruit bats, as well as a free dinner at the Asian wok restaurant (part of the 5 day all inclusive package, great atmosphere and view, baby sharks have their meeting place under the restaurant). The villa was great, clean, and cleaned twice daily. There were no bugs in it and overall very few on the island.

    Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.4

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Lily Beach Resort, despite encountering some rain during three of our seven days. Our beach villa provided excellent value for money, especially given that we visited during peak season. The service throughout our stay was nothing short of excellent; we truly felt special and well-cared for at all times. A highlight for us was the Aqua Bar, which offers a delightful adults-only à la carte lunch. Our waiter, Suranga, provided outstanding service, and the selection of food and drinks was impressive. Additionally, the Spirit Bar, located at the reception, featured a fantastic collection of aged whiskeys and French champagnes, all included in our all-inclusive package. Each evening, we enjoyed live entertainment there, creating a lovely atmosphere for relaxation after dinner. We were also impressed by the buffet restaurant, Lily Maa, which offered themed dinners each night. As avid fish lovers, we particularly appreciated the dedicated "fish market" booth, showcasing an array of fresh fish options to choose from each evening. The house reef was another highlight of our stay, teeming with vibrant marine life and colorful corals, making for memorable snorkeling experiences. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to General Manager Mr. Laurent Driole for his warm welcome upon our arrival and his respectful attention throughout our visit. We look forward to returning to this exceptional resort in the future!

    We had the most amazing stay at the Amaya Kudah Rah. The whole experience was perfect from start to finish: from arriving at the resort via the beautiful seaplane and the warm welcome from the staff (including complementary massages!), to the well-organised and seamless departure. We stayed in a Beach Suite and consider it the best of the accommodation options on the island. The water villas are lovely, but the beach suites are gorgeous and we were very impressed with the size of the private pool and the outside deck, which looked out directly over the pristine beach just metres from our terrace. The whole island is beautiful, even more so than in the pictures. The buffet food was tasty and there was always a lot to choose from. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would very highly recommend the Amaya Kudah Rah. Thank you to all the staff for being so friendly and making our stay so special!

However, staying at Constance Moofushi is a completely different level of relaxation. The excellent AllInclusive option its really wonderful. Excellent food, very good drinks and friendly service make us want to go back there :) Additionally, the abundance of reef and fish makes you not want to leave the water. It was a great time!

    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. 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.

    We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean. The food is AMAZING! Everyone from staff are kind. The resort is sustainable, they try very hard to recycle and repurpose almost everything which is really nice. All inclusive is the smarter choice, trust me😄 The snorkeling is really fun! The whole island stands on coral reef and there is a lot to see! Maybe bring your own equipment, although you can rent. I don’t recommend the visit to the local island, nothing to see there We absolutely recommend

    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.

    Great for diving but not so great for snorkeling.

    Great for diving but not so great for snorkeling. The reef is very far out and at times the current was very strong. Prices for trips to see the whale sharks were quite expensive at 75 USD. And there were tons of other boats at the same spots - very zoo-like. Bikini beach, the only beach you can swim at in only your bathing suit is fairly shallow and windy. The better beach beside it requires you to be clothed. However, the local people are super nice and helpful.

    You need maximum 3 days to complete all trips, any more than that would have to be someone who loves water sports as these are the main activities in this country, anyways. Bring a mosquito or any insect repellent, you will need these after a stroll on the shores or anywhere there are plants. Also have an anti-nausea pill if you are the seasick type. Taxis have a fixed price for each location, check that out. Alcohol in the resorts is expensive but then again that's all you got. Best to pay all meals or include dinner in your package as there are almost no restaurants outside, depending on the island, and if you find one it's either a chips or coffee spots.

    A Wonderful Beach Holiday.

    A Wonderful Beach Holiday. Necessary structure: shops and cafes are available. The ability to pay with a bank card, as well as in cash (USD, MVR). Good exchange rate in all places. I was pleased with both Mathiveri and Mathiveri Finholu: the beaches are clean, the sand does not burn your feet, and there is a comfortable "coolness" in the shade of the trees.

    This resort is a nice isolated intimate island, staff is very kind and welcoming, rooms are nice, clean. tidy and spacious, well equipped and services twice a day. Food is mediocre. Activities and attractions are limited - scuba diving is great, the rest of the excursions and watersports are below average and highly priced for the what you get. Our overall conclusion is "insufficient value for money" I have rated it as 4/5 because we've enjoyed our time, but almost any spot at the Maldives is enjoyable with no much effort required from the resort
