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!

Oasis Dhigurah has the elements of a resort yet with a small amount of guests, this enabled the staff to really take care of you. A particular shout-out to Mr. Waruna for treating us so well, you made our holiday! Oasis Dhigurah provides amazing excursions at a fair price, the food is one of the best on the island and again their hospitality is unparalleled. They surprised us with a beach dinner because of our honeymoon, it was a truly magical experience, thank you!!!

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.

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.

My wife and I recently stayed at Ecoboo Hotel for our honeymoon, and it was an incredible experience! Right from the start, we were treated to exceptional service. After arriving on the island, we were warmly greeted by the hotel manager. As a welcome, we received delicious drinks and personalized glass water bottles, which was a lovely touch! 😊One of the standout features of Ecoboo is its sustainable approach to water sourcing, as they produce their own water on-site. Our stay was truly unforgettable, with delicious food and exceptionally friendly staff. Every day, there were exciting excursions available for us to enjoy.The island itself is stunning, home to fascinating wildlife such as bats, herons, and eagles. At night, sharks come close to the shore, adding to the unique experience. The hotel’s style and atmosphere are both unique and captivating.We highly recommend Ecoboo Hotel for anyone seeking a memorable and delightful stay in the Maldives! 😊

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.

That was one of the best experiences of my life. The best staff in Maldives, they take care of everything. Magic adventures. highly recommend it, live you guys and see you soon ❤️

The room was exceptionally clean and well maintained, and being right on the beachfront made the experience even more special. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, they really made us feel welcome and well cared for.

Where to even begin… our stay at Whale Shark Beach is one we will not forget. The staff were so accommodating and friendly for our entire stay. They always welcomed us back from our excursions or just afternoons out on the beach and always wanted to know what we had done that day. The food was immaculate and we ended up eating at the hotel every night so we could keep trying things off the menu. The rooftop dining area is especially lovely, it’s nice to be able to see the stars during the evening. The excursions team were absolutely incredible. We saw dolphins, turtles, various reefs and had an unforgettable experience swimming with manta rays. The team were also incredibly generous and allowed us to join two additional manta ray and whale shark trips for no additional cost after we had not seen them initially. The boat was well equipped and the team were incredibly focussed on guest safety in the water as well as enjoyment. Another key thing that we applaud the excursions team on is ensuring the safety and well being of the wild animals we saw whilst out on the sea. The boat engine was immediately turned off as soon as we saw dolphins and they kept a good distance away instead of chasing and harassing the animals. Additionally, prior to one of our whale shark tours we were briefed on how to swim with the animal safely and were reminded that if anyone tried to touch or swim to close to the animal they would be removed from the water. As someone who works in marine animal conservation, I applaud the team at Whale Shark Beach for putting the animals first and ensuring that both them and the guests could have a safe and enjoyable experience. The room was lovely. The bed was the most comfortable bed I’d ever slept in and very spacious. The television also had smart options available to watch Netflix or Amazon Prime which was a big bonus.

The staff at any property make our stay good or bad. This was such an excellent staff who worked together to make our visit a joy! No request was impossible and we felt pampered beyond our expectations. Being met at the airport by Sumesh at night was a great start. The head waiter Biraj was so welcoming and did a great job of advising us of ingredients in the food as we have a strict vegetarian diet. The chef made us fresh oatmeal every morning and accommodated special requests easily. He even made us cake with our eggs! Food is important so we have great appreciation for all of them. Boat rides out to see rays and colorful reefs were a treat and affordable. One of the kind owners was our guide and pointed out rays, sharks, octopuses and things we might have missed without him. Our last night Biraj traced a large heart in the sand by the water and they lined it with candles. Our dinner table was placed inside the heart. It was so thoughtful and the whole staff was so friendly and attentive! We felt like we’re were at a fancy resort being treated like royalty by men who enjoyed their work and did it lovingly. I could go on and on but you have to go have your own experience with this special place. I know we’ll be back again.
