The staff was friendly, and the place was extremely clean. It's a simple place--meant for diving and relaxing. We only had a night, since we were transitioning from a liveaboard to our next adventure. We were able to rest, kayak and easily make our flight the next day.

great staff, good food, very clean, great leisure space, best dives, 3 whale sharks at once

It's a wonderful place to stay for an unforgettable experience! All of the staff are so nice, helpful, willing to do anything to make you happy. I loved the dives, Shamoon is the best dive master ever bc he did everything he could to make sure I had my dive with a whale shark--and it was one of my favorite moments of my life :)

The staff, shamon the owner, really fantastic, good manners, always willing to help. Have to say BIG thanks to them. Even facilities are limited in the island, they did their best 👍

Staff were the best part of our stay. They're super friendly, super nice, and really accommodating. Location was ideal as well -- couldn't get closer to the beach without getting wet. Dives were really nice and affordable.

These were ones of the most impressive holidays ever! We thought we were travelling to the Maldives, but we found ourselves in paradise :) Everything in Shamar was perfect – honest and friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, cosy dining and meeting area, delicious and fresh food (especially curries!!!), quiet beach and, of course, the PADI dive center, that is worth 5 hundred stars :). Shamoon, Ammu and Mode are gods of diving, who managed to cope with my fear of depth and proved me I can dive. Trust me, the underwater world of Indian ocean is awesome, there are sooo many screensavers there! It was a great pleasure and honour to meet you, guys. You did everything for us to come back. We wish you good luck and see you underwater! Oh, and two sociable meowing fluffies are an obligatory attribute of a decent guesthouse :D

The owner Shamun was super friendly and helpful. Rashid, one of the employees, was also really kind and provided excellent service. The guesthouse is a one minute walk from the bikini beach. I really liked that they provide drinking water so you don't have to create waste from plastic bottles. You can help yourself to tea or instant coffee or you can pay for a fancy coffee from their Lavazza machine. Snorkelers can join the daily 8 am dive trip for a reasonable price. We really enjoyed our stay.

Guesthouse was lovely and in a fantastic location. Stunning beach less than 1 minute walk away. They served a lovely breakfast, and the lunch/dinner menu offers local dishes which was delicious. Accommodation is clean and spacious, I stayed in ocean view room and waking to the view of the sea was lovely. Guesthouse has PADI dive centre and is run very professionally. They organise daily dives ( 2 tank, afternoon & night dives). On my first day of diving I saw Mantas & Whalesharks!! All the staff are very friendly and always happy to help. If you want to experience some of the best diving in Maldives and experience a local island the don’t hesitate to choose Shamar - you won’t regret it!

lekker ontbijt. kok maakte de zelf gevangen vis heel lekker klaar. professionele duikers/ gids.

Waren 2 Wochen (auf 3 verschiedenen local islands) unterwegs. Der Aufenthalt im Shamar war mit Abstand der Beste! Super nette Menschen welche immer versuchen ihr Bestes zu geben. Sehr leckeres Essen mit guter Auswahl. Traumstrand “Bikini Beach” direkt um die Ecke. Die Tauchbasis ist mit Abstand die beste mit welcher wir auf den Malediven tauchen durften!!! Vielen lieben Dank an Shamoon & Markus für die unvergesslichen Momente. Kann das Shamar Guesthouse & Dive wärmstens empfehlen.
