Hotels in the Maldives

We were lucky enough to discover this newly opened boutique hotel. Wow, what an amazing experience! It's a small retreat (10 rooms) with concierge services and facilities similar to a resort. The beds are comfortable with quality linens. Yes, it's indeed beachfront with a bikini beach, and yes it's there even though Google Maps satellite view doesn't show it yet. We did some snorkeling right from the beach. The terrace for dining has an amazing view, where you can serve breakfast (recommend the Maldivian breakfast) and lunch/dinner. They can arrange for many activities advertised in their listing, and we definitely recommend using their services. They organized for us the transfer to/from the retreat, snorkeling trips, visit to a local fruit farm and a romantic private dinner on the beach. The first night we also had a dinner buffet on the beach and movie under the stars. This retreat gives you the opportunity to experience the local Maldives life as it's on a local island and it's managed by locals. People are super nice, friendly and honest. Thank you to Ismail, Ahmed and Mohamed who made our vacation unforgettable !

This was our first trip to the Maldives, and I am very happy that we were guests at Handhuvaru Hotel. When we arrived at the hotel, we were welcomed with a very beautiful bouquet made of shells and treated to a fresh coconut. The food was prepared fresh and individually for each guest. I truly enjoyed everything that the hotel’s chef prepared. The beach is large and clean, only 3 minutes away from the hotel. The rooms are very clean and modern. There is everything needed for guests’ comfort. The hotel offers different excursions, and we are very happy that we joined one and visited a nearby island. There we saw a sea turtle and dolphins. The hotel staff organized a BBQ party for us in honor of the New Year (for free), and it was amazing. We had a great evening, and they also treated us with a cake. I really enjoyed staying at this hotel for all 12 days. Everything was organized at the highest level. At the end of our stay, the manager gave us a beautiful collectible wooden boat as a gift. I would like to thank the management and the staff for making this holiday the best and truly unforgettable.

Thank you so much for everything! We really enjoyed our stay here. We loved the island, the atmosphere, and your hospitality. Everything was wonderful, and we’re really happy we chose to stay here. Thank you for making our stay so special!

The stay here was simply amazing! Me and my family had a very enjoyable stay due to amazing staff (especially Mohamed) and their attention to details, clean and comfortable rooms, and yummy breakfast. Whenever we had any questions or requests they were promptly answered and always taken care of. The staff of this hotel truly takes goes above and beyond for their guests and that is why you should chose this hotel in particular.

Me and my kid travel a lot, but this place ticks all the boxes, which is rare to come across. Fodhdhoo is a pretty and authentic island with no mass tourism. Sabba Team you raised the bar very high. Our stay at your place was perfect! We will cherish the memories forever. Until we meet again!

Great staff. Great location. Modern newly build and very clean and comfortable.

We stayed here 9 nights and we couldn't be happier! The place is very nice, it is always clean, the bedrooms are very comfortable and they are also always impeccable. The hotel offers free bikes, it's a plus on hot days! The hotel is also very well located near the centre and the beach. The breakfast area is very cosy outdoors with a very relaxing garden and view. The staff is always present and is very friendly and kind. Special mention to Waruna who attended us at breakfast and cleaned our room daily, always with a smile and well predisposed. Also to Anoof who received us the first day, gave us the information we needed about the island and helped us with everything we needed. We also did the whaleshark excursion and we had a very good guide, it was an unforgettable experience. I recommend this place without hesitation to spend your days in Dhigurah :)

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.

All of the staff were very nice and caring, all the dives were amazing, very quiet and chill environment. Meals are amazing! All the three of them.

I felt like home. Cosy and at the same time very good hospitality .
