Hotels in the Maldives

If you haven’t been to Rattehi Inn can you even say you’ve experienced the essence of the Maldives?!?! We’ve been traveling full time for 3 years now and this is hands down the best all-around experience we have ever had anywhere in the world! The rooms are very comfortable and modern. Wifi was great throughout the property. Lots of comfy spots to lounge. The on-site restaurant had lots of varied options on the menu and was open to modifications for pickier eaters. (My husband is the pickiest vegetarian on the planet and he loved it!) The beach is top tier with lots to explore, lots to do, and lots of sea life. (We saw eels, rays, small sharks, tropical fish and dolphins off of the reef) I have never been so relaxed. The staff (Ratte, Irash, Niya, Dominga, the Captain and everyone!) made us feel welcome and a part of the family from the second we got off the boat to the second we got back on one to leave. Their generosity of time, spirit, adventure, attention to detail, caring and knowledge made this stay pure magic for us. Beyond any and all expectations! If we could stay there forever we would! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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.

We love absolutely everything about this accommodation and especially Areef as a host. He is very kind, nice and helpful - he gave us a tour of the island and always helped us with everything, he made our holiday so much better. The accommodation itself is great and clean, it has everything you need. The hotel environment is very pleasant with a garden - i loved it. Dhangethi island has lots of beautiful places that are a short walk from accommodation. I was visited multiple accommodations in the Maldives and Sky View was clearly the best both in amenities and host, and hope to return here sometime. Thank you and good luck Areef!

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.

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.

Property is very new and well maintained, very comfy beds and pillows, very clean rooms. Staff was very helpful and tolerant with all our questions and made our stay wonderful, staff will assist you with any trip or rentals you need. Seeyyam took excellent care of us and was always ready to assist even on WhatsApp throughout the day.

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!

Isla Retreat is a wonderful boutique hotel situated on an amazingly beautiful local Island. The staff is very friendly rooms get cleaned twice a day, everything is an architectural and design marvel. The hotel has a private beach and also there are many other beaches on the island worth visiting. The water sports are also very nice and accessible. We simply loved it and would highly recommend to anyone to experience this place and island.

Everything! Hospitality 10/10 Nice people and very friendly
