We were enjoying our vacation in Dhiguveli Breeze. Personal were very professional and hospitality. All time we had breakfast/lunch and dinner in our Hotel because it was number one in the island. They organized snorkeling trip to see whale sharks and the best place for snorkeling. Very clean and comfortable. Thank you a lot)

We stayed for 7 nights with all meals included. Food, friendly and helpful staff Many thanks to Shaheen, Fairuz, the chef, Abdullah and Ahmed for their kindness. Shaheen, the manager, was very helpful in giving us tips for exploring the island. Fairuz also helped us to discover the Maldivian culture, to talk about football and other rich and constructive conversations. The food was very delicious thanks to the chef and Fairuz. The room is clean, the bathroom is large and clean.

If you want a chill environment, beautiful garden view, excellent local breakfast and the most hospitality in your stay then Chillax is for you. This group of folks have such passion in helping you enjoy your stay. My experience went something like this..... I was greeted at the boat dock by a golf cart ride to Chillax as I entered through the gate I was at aww with the beautiful garden flowers, plants, trees. I sat down to a delicious coconut beverage while I was given the details of the guest house and a private escort to the beach just so I knew where to go when the time came for a beach day. Simply amazing experience here. The island is quiet and relaxing, I had some hiccups on my last day because of my employers website for travel was not working. The Manager of chillax was so quick to tell me that everything will be fine and that I could infact stay one more night in the same room that I had booked for the last two nights. It was kind of a big deal for me because I had to stay one more night or find something else on the island. I had previously been in India for 1 week prior and I really needed to wash my laundry, without hesitation they offered there service of laundry to me with no charge, I was shocked. When people think of Maldives they think expensive, that's not at all the case. With the price I paid I felt like it was an over the top experience and I wish that everyone could find out for themselves. Thank you Chillax for everything.

We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay at Sky View. We felt very welcome from the beginning. Areef met us at the ferry, walked us over to the place, and gave us a welcome drink. He then showed us around the island and made some recommendations for where to eat, swim, and snorkel. He really understands how to take great care of you while also giving you space, which we appreciated. He also fulfilled our only two requests: 1) we asked for and received a Maldivian breakfast instead of the continental breakfast that he planned to serve us; and 2) we were able to change from a room without a window to a room with a window. (Perhaps you won't be able to get/do that during high season, but we stayed there during low season.) The wifi worked very well (but wasn't perfect, as per usual in the Maldives). We booked a whale shark snorkeling tour on our last day and were thankful that Areef worked hard to make sure we spotted several of the amazing animals (as well as some dolphins). The outdoor seating area is very relaxing. You can borrow snorkeling gear for free. We stayed 4 nights and easily could have stayed longer (mostly thanks to Areef)!

    We had an amazing 5-night family holiday at Amaya Kuda Rah Maldives Resort. From the moment we landed at Male International Airport, Ashfaq, the Airport Executive, efficiently handled our sea plane tickets, and we were quickly contacted for transportation to the resort. Upon arrival, Zee warmly welcomed us with her smiley face and guided us through a smooth and quick check-in process. Throughout our stay, she was always there to offer help and guidance. Zee's exceptional hospitality extended beyond our check-in. During our entire stay, she made sure to check on us regularly, ensuring we were comfortable and enjoying our time at the resort. Her attentiveness and genuine care made us feel like family. Even as we were leaving the resort, Zee accompanied us all the way until the sea plane. The emotional farewell from the staff, waving hands as we departed, left us with lasting memories of the wonderful time we had at Amaya Kuda Rah. The speed boat moved away from the resort, and we couldn't help but feel a mix of joy for the amazing experience and a tinge of sadness to say goodbye to such a remarkable place and the warm-hearted staff. During our fishing trip and special dinner, John, who managed all the arrangements, ensured that everything was perfect. We enjoyed feeding sharks, accompanied by lovely music and a delicious BBQ, thanks to the dedicated chef, Krishan, and waitress, Simla. The quality and variety of food during breakfast, lunch, and dinner were excellent, and the all-inclusive offering made our dining experience delightful. Imam from the restaurant also provided exceptional service during our meals. The Beach Villa with a private pool and beach view was simply awesome, and the minibar and housekeeping service, including Anam's dedication, were excellent. Manjula, the bar attendant, served fresh juice and hot drinks with a unique and special touch, adding to the overall delightful experience.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Paradise at Nika Resort Maldives! My stay at Nika Resort Maldives was nothing short of magical! From the moment I arrived, I was mesmerized by the breathtaking beauty of the island—crystal-clear turquoise waters, powdery white sand, and lush greenery created a true tropical paradise. 
I stayed in a stunning beach villa that offered complete privacy and direct access to the ocean. The design was elegant, blending Maldivian charm with modern comforts. Waking up to the sound of gentle waves and enjoying sunset views from my private deck was pure bliss! 
The staff at Nika Resort went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. Their warm hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine smiles made me feel like a VIP. Special thanks to Carolina, Elena, Ahmed and for their outstanding service! 
The food was exquisite—fresh seafood, delicious international cuisine, and beautifully presented dishes. The beachfront dining under the stars was a highlight, and the chefs accommodated dietary requests with a smile. Special thanks to the bartender, Amid. 
Nika Resort is a hidden gem in the Maldives, offering luxury, tranquility, and authentic island charm. I left feeling completely refreshed and already dream of returning. Highly recommended for honeymooners, couples, or anyone seeking a slice of heaven! Thank you, Nika Resort, for an unforgettable escape!

    We chose the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island to celebrate our anniversary, and it turned out to be the most unforgettable trip we’ve ever taken. From the moment we arrived, everything felt magical. The warm welcome, the stunning beauty of the islands, and the seamless service instantly set the tone for a perfect romantic escape. Our overwater villa was luxurious, private, and surrounded by the most breathtaking turquoise waters we’ve ever seen. Throughout our stay, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and celebrated. We loved the thoughtful sweet surprises in our villa. Dining at Ithaa, the underwater restaurant was once in a lifetime experience—surrounded by sharks and vibrant marine life was absolutely surreal. The ambiance, the service, the cuisine was all unforgettable. It is a perfect place for any celebration. We left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and so grateful for the memories.

The front staff assisted us schedule a seaplane for our departure, and coordinated with the provider to ensure we arrived to the airport on time, and that we maximized our stay at the resort without worrying about transportation or long wait at the airport. The restaurant and bar staff that we interacted with were very friendly and professional too. They offered us top notch service, made us feel welcome, and our stay memorable. We hope to visit again next year.

    Dhigurah is a beautiful island with a long sandy beach,...

    Dhigurah is a beautiful island with a long sandy beach, without sunbeds and umbrellas, the palm trees lining the island will provide you with sufficient shade. At the end of the island there is a sandbank, which can be reached by walking, cycling or scooter through the tropical forest. There are several shops with groceries, souvenirs and restaurants on the island. There is a lot of accommodation in different places on the island with quality services. The local people are smiling and friendly. There is a hospital, a police station, the Maldivian office and mosques on the island. Waste from the island is taken to the forest, where it is burned in the afternoon, we only felt the smoke from the waste when there was a strong wind. You can get to the island from the airport by speedboat, the journey takes about two hours, if you suffer from nausea, I recommend taking anti-nausea medicine, you will definitely need it when the waves are bigger. There is a coral reef around the island, you can see many colorful fish, we were lucky to see a turtle and a small shark. There are resorts on the surrounding atolls, to which seaplanes fly daily. What we didn't like on the island is the massive construction of new accommodation facilities, I'm afraid that in a short time, there will be more tourists on the island than locals and the island will lose its authenticity and beauty.

    An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

    Great Island, plenty to do and good snorkelling straight off Villa. Food, people and facilitiies were great - cannot fault. Deluxe water villas were a bit tired and really need a refurbishment - other than that great time in Kuramathi...

    We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean. The food is AMAZING! Everyone from staff are kind. The resort is sustainable, they try very hard to recycle and repurpose almost everything which is really nice. All inclusive is the smarter choice, trust me😄 The snorkeling is really fun! The whole island stands on coral reef and there is a lot to see! Maybe bring your own equipment, although you can rent. I don’t recommend the visit to the local island, nothing to see there We absolutely recommend

    I didn't like that the island lost most of it's green and I didn't see the wild nature I prefer. There was a lot of construction going on the moment I was there, I felt discomfort because of that. And maybe in 1-2 years it's going to be over I think. But on the other hand there's just amazing diving on the house reef and nearby reefs. There's a lot of nice restaurants and there was no day I felt bored.

    Great for diving but not so great for snorkeling.

    Great for diving but not so great for snorkeling. The reef is very far out and at times the current was very strong. Prices for trips to see the whale sharks were quite expensive at 75 USD. And there were tons of other boats at the same spots - very zoo-like. Bikini beach, the only beach you can swim at in only your bathing suit is fairly shallow and windy. The better beach beside it requires you to be clothed. However, the local people are super nice and helpful.

    It was not my first time in Maldives and my experience there was disappointing compared to my previous trips in other resorts. The quality of service is poor and it’s a shame because the resort is lovely and the staff are nice but lack professionalism.

    You need maximum 3 days to complete all trips, any more than that would have to be someone who loves water sports as these are the main activities in this country, anyways. Bring a mosquito or any insect repellent, you will need these after a stroll on the shores or anywhere there are plants. Also have an anti-nausea pill if you are the seasick type. Taxis have a fixed price for each location, check that out. Alcohol in the resorts is expensive but then again that's all you got. Best to pay all meals or include dinner in your package as there are almost no restaurants outside, depending on the island, and if you find one it's either a chips or coffee spots.

    A Wonderful Beach Holiday.

    A Wonderful Beach Holiday. Necessary structure: shops and cafes are available. The ability to pay with a bank card, as well as in cash (USD, MVR). Good exchange rate in all places. I was pleased with both Mathiveri and Mathiveri Finholu: the beaches are clean, the sand does not burn your feet, and there is a comfortable "coolness" in the shade of the trees.

    Feridhoo is an island inhabited by locals.

    Feridhoo is an island inhabited by locals. They are Muslims, so respect them and wear decent clothes when walking through the village. The island has 2 restaurants with good food and fair prices, one dive base (Noohiri) and one small shop next to Shifa Lodge. We came for diving and found an abundant maritime life. There are 2 beach areas, one at the east side with the best snorkeling ground, the other at north/west side with berths for relaxing.
