I absolutely loved everything about my first solo trip at Stay Mikado, never once did I feel bored, unsafe, or unwelcome! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive to every need, Ameen will make sure you have the best of everything. Stay mikado It’s just a short bike ride to a beautiful local private beach and a 5-minute walk to the boat ride. The place offers a karaoke room, diverse entertainment options, snorkeling, surfing… just to name a few, BBQ on private island and to stay in shape and unwind at the gym and spa. At night, you can stay on the terrace and enjoy stunning star-gazing.

Room was clean, spacious and had A/C. The staff (Roshani) was absolutely fantastic… very gracious, helpful and always a smile :) The owner, Ahmed, went above and beyond! Assisted with many questions and booked my boat to and from Male. Very helpful. Thimarafushi is a small, quiet island for relaxation, and snorkeling day trips.

The best hospitality ever! Since the moment I have booked Finimas, Ahmed connected with me to help with various types of preparations for our trip, including booking speeds boats for us and answering lot of my questions :-) When we have reached the island, it turned out that Finimas has some renovation and we were place in Bimaa for our better comfort. It's managed by Benji and his family. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect! Just a few to mention: they own a boat so trips to deserted island and snorkeling were on a daily basis, they offered variety of delicious home made dishes both international and local cuisine, they have organized play dates for my daughter by inviting kids her age and surprised me with Bday party including huge chocolate cake :-) Island might seem far away from the capital but there is excellent wifi and great prices for renting sport equipment. There were not many tourists while we were visiting so we got a taste of a local culture.

There is honestly nothing not to love, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, our personal butler was attentive and and added a lot of personal touches that made us feel like more than just paying customers, and the facilities/property were beautifully designed and maintained. Below is a more detailed review: Rooms: We took the 4-series rooms specifically for the sunset view which was a gorgeous view to behold. The pool is refreshing and the stairs down to the beach from our own room meant we could go for a dip/snorkel at any time, brilliant touch. Beaches/Facilities/Features: The rest of the property was breathtaking. Scenic dirt roads connect the island and villas have bikes that are used to ease travel from one point to another. Bike parking stations are also available, a lovely touch. The beaches are beautiful and the atoll provides plenty of room to snorkel (incredible vibrancy of marine life to enjoy from sharks to fish to eels). The spa is simply but enjoyable with a steam/dry sauna and a room temperature plungepool. Yoga classes available at set times and the massages are phenomenal. Staff: Our room had a dedicated butler that would attend to our every need. The rest of the staff at the restaurants were cheerful and accommodating and a cocktail is hosted weekly for the guests to mingle with some of the management team who were all very approachable and went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. Food: Great selection across the board from the room service to the 2 restaurants they had on the island. Brilliant selection of local/regional flavors as well as more mainstream dishes, everything tasted exceptionally delicious. Logistics: The hotel was resourceful with providing step-by-step instructions for entering the country. Once arrived we were received by representatives that handled our luggage and arranged our sea plane flight to the hotel.
