Hotels near Nolhivaran

We travel internationally quite often, and for the price and location, Viluveli Holiday Retreat offers very strong value. The resort grounds are beautiful, peaceful, well-kept, and very zen. And Hanimaadhoo itself was a highlight. The sand on this island is the softest I’ve ever felt underfoot, almost like flour rather than traditional sand. It’s a unique texture that really stands out. Overall, this is a peaceful property in a beautiful location, and for the rate we paid, it delivered solid value. Travelers to local islands should build in flexibility for transfers and scheduling, which is part of the Maldives experience.

Everything. Great host, breakfast, booking for local diving...

Well, I expected this place to be clean, remote from Male, meaning more beautiful and I am happy I made a choice and came here. Absolutely beautiful. I booked full board and I don’t regret it. I had a good appetite during my holiday. The hotel times shifts to +1 hr, so prepare to not miss any of the meals. Breakfast 7:45-10:15, lunch 13:00-14:30 and dinner 20:00-21:30. There is plenty to choose from, vegetables and fruits, every dinner and lunch variety of fish and meat. For breakfast you can ask eggs and pancakes to be prepared. I really liked that it was not many people in hotel and it felt very cool. Sunbeds on the beach, take any. I had a double room with patio and I just had the one closest to the beach. Perfect! Bins for plastic and paper everywhere on the territory. I saw someone complained of going to the bar and get a drink, I thought that would be a problem but in reality it wasn’t. We could give the order and drinks were delivered. Anyways walking 2-3 minutes to the bar and to enjoy and view is never an issue. The area is in the forest so there are lots of trees and palm trees. I felt similar like in Bali in Ubud. Water is provided in the room, tea and coffee sachets. There are plenty of excursions provided by diving center, choose and go. I liked that hotel provided 2 times a week a complimentary snorkelling trip. Yoga in the morning is also free and you just need to make an effort to wake up) I didn’t really use a swimming pool as I was more attracted to the ocean but pool is nice. There is no alcohol as it is not allowed but there is a little boat with boat bar and you can go there in the evening at 18:00 and 21:30 and enjoy a drink or two or three. I also used laundry facilities.

Resort Review: Sixth Visit "This is the sixth time I've been to this resort on this island, and I must say that the first time I went in 2021, right in the middle of the pandemic, they had a major issue with the food, where the culinary side really wasn't up to the standard of the hotel. Since then, all the services have improved, the cuisine has improved, and they now offer bread, brioches, ice cream, and everything of excellent quality (or 'of the highest quality'). The chef is brilliant, as is all the staff—they are incredibly kind, whether it's the restaurant staff, the pool bar staff, or the housekeeping staff, who are all truly at a very high level. What perhaps remains a little expensive are the excursions, which in my opinion should be lowered a bit to encourage more people to go. Above all, the advantage of this island is that it has remained a four-star resort with a human dimension and still retains a somewhat wild Maldivian feel. For now, it hasn't made the mistake of becoming a five-star luxury resort by completely transforming the entire island and making it only beautiful to look at, but not functional for true lovers of the island and the Maldives—unless the jetty at the end of the living (maybe 'water villas' or 'accommodation') remains calm. This also gives the island a small but lovely reef, which is the only problem with the island: it doesn't have a very extensive reef for snorkeling.

We had a wonderful stay at Cerulean View. The property was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with a relaxing atmosphere that made our stay very enjoyable. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist whenever needed. The location was also convenient, making it easy to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and experience the local island atmosphere. The room rate offered excellent value for money, making the overall stay even more worthwhile. The quality, comfort, and hospitality exceeded our expectations for the price Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay with excellent hospitality ,We would happily recommend Cerulean View to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the Hanimaadhoo ,Maldives. We look forward to visiting again!

We watched fishes, cute sharks, and even turtles around the room!! Food is also very nice!
