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!!!

The location of the hotel is absolutely amazing - right on a fabulous beach. The building is new, very nice designed and everything is in perfect conditions. At the 8th floor there is a pool which provides a perfect view of Paradise and also a bar. Second bar is located on the beach and they both serve most delicious drinks! Hotel’s restaurant Aanu is 2 steps away from the hotel. Apart from the location, the conditions - what makes your stay memorable is the staff which is absolutely fantastic - from reception to bars, restaurant, breakfast, team responsible of excursions - everybody is very friendly and super nice! Thank you all for making our stay perfect!

The house is new, clean and beautiful. And there is a place where you can relax and enjoy the seaview nearby. The time I spent here is comfortable and chill. Since the duration I stay is low season, the guest house offering me free tour guide for the whole island and free snorkeling plus GoPro video and photo. The boss and the staff here are really, really nice and kind.

Our stay went extremely smoothly in this hotel. The location was great, the room was spacious and very clean. The staff was nice and helpful. We appreciated it a lot for cooking some vegan food for us outside the standard Menu. The manager of the hotel was absolutely nice and helpful with all the information - she was always in the front row to help us.

Quiet and peaceful. The place has stunning view, and the beach is swimmable and clean. It has limited rooms, thus no crowd at all compared to other hotel in the island. Other hotels are noisy and crowded. The Sunset Villa is a jackpot to us. Worth the money. Though the place is small it has everything we need. They also give unlimited water for drink.

*"An Unforgettable Experience at Kandima Maldives!"* ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment we arrived at *Kandima Maldives*, we were blown away by the beauty of the resort and the warmth of the staff. The island is a true paradise—crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and stunning overwater villas. The resort is not only visually breathtaking but also offers top-notch facilities and exceptional service. The *accommodation* was beyond our expectations—spacious, luxurious, and with incredible views of the turquoise lagoon. The attention to detail in the rooms was perfect, and we truly felt like we were in a private oasis. A special mention goes to the *restaurants*—the food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of international and local dishes to choose from. Whether we were enjoying a romantic dinner by the beach or a casual meal at one of the many dining spots, every meal was a delight. The *activities* offered were amazing! From water sports like snorkeling, diving, and kayaking, to the relaxing spa treatments, there was something for everyone. The resort also provides entertainment and excursions that made our stay even more memorable. What truly stood out was the *service*. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, always with a smile and eager to assist with any request. Every interaction felt personal, and we felt truly cared for throughout our stay. Kandima Maldives is a perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and adventure. We can't wait to return!

visiting the Maldives is a dream for anyone and I knew that the ayada maldives resort would go beyond that dream. Since I made the reservation a year ago and started contacting the hotel, I noticed the difference. Highly qualified staff to provide our adventure with a unique experience. From our departure point to the island it took exactly 36 hours … in Male we had a completely pleasant reception by the Ayada team who took us to the airport lounge, carried our bags and boarded us to the island. Upon disembarking, another big surprise was waiting for us to take us by boat to our final destination, arriving there, a warm welcome and Iqu, our assistant for a week, was waiting for us. Nothing could have been more perfect. Our villa inside the ocean and overlooking the sunset was perfect, the crystal clear water invited us every day for a swim. The wonderful restaurants, the employees always with a smile and ready for a good morning, good afternoon, good night. It was worth every hour until we got here … worth every penny invested. We chose the hotel because we wanted the island further away from Male … ​​our choice was the best possible !! Ayada surprised us … she welcomed us and conquered us … she deserves all the accolades of the best hotel in the Maldives in all aspects !!! thank you for the wonderful week you have given us. Thank you Lizah for your attention, thank you Iqu … it was a pleasure meeting you. Thank you Maldives !!!

Staff was so helpful and polite. We got greeted by Zaki who was very eager to show us around the island and help us with everything we needed. All the rest of the staff was also very polite. The beach was clean and quiet. We had immediate access from our room. We had requested a quiet room because we were travelling with a baby and the request was fulfilled. Our Villa was at close proximity to everything and this was very comfortable for us. Cleanliness of the room was perfect and done twice a day. Beautiful island and so kid friendly! So many activities for the kids, an amazing kids club with amazing ladies to take care of the kids. The Spa was also exactly what we needed.. Loved it!

Excellent hotel for families with children. A large area overgrown with jungle, the villas on the beach where we stayed are located at a great distance from each other, providing privacy. Delicious and varied food, large and well-made common areas of the hotel (restaurants, shops, diving center etc, I would like to separately mention the "ice-cream bar" with a huge selection of their own delicious ice cream) a stunningly beautiful reef for diving and snorkeling. Very attentive friendly and polite staff - I would especially like to highlight and thank our butler Ainur - who made our stay very rich, interesting and carefree.

Rooms cleaned every day, towels changed each day, trip from/to the aiport organized, so just after leaving Arrivals Zone at the airport we were taken care of. Lizzards, bats, tropical birds and a hen ;). No need to wear shoes while walking on the island. No crowds, peace and quiet. Would love to come back there one day....

The food was absolutely delicious, and a special thanks to Chef KRISNA for his excellent preparations and the personal touch he added to our dining experience. The service staff was also exceptional—very courteous and attentive special thanks to JUSICA . The only drawback was the poor Wi-Fi connectivity, which could definitely be improved. Other than that, everything was great, and we truly enjoyed our time here.

Staff was excellent and efficient across the whole resort. Despite being in May, we had plenty of sunshine and the quick rain showers we had only served as a short pause from the sun. This place is amazing, definitely recommend it!

Maafushi is, overall, a great place – the people are friendly and welcoming. The weak point is definitely the services. When it comes to hotels, don’t expect luxury. In my opinion, for what you actually get, it’s overpriced. One big plus is that Maafushi gives you more freedom. You’re not tied to a resort – you can move around, explore, go jogging if you want, and enjoy the island on your own terms. You can book trips easily, there’s stuff to do, and it doesn’t feel restrictive.

Hulhumale despite being busy like the rest of Male has an airy feel to it with lots of greenery - almost colonial. The East side is quiet for traffic although it's close to the seaplane flight paths - I didn't find that intrusive. The West side has the harbour with the ferry terminal and where the liveaboards anchor between trips. When I was there there had been a lot of recent building work so I would avoid staying there. Lots of options for buying fresh fruit and vegentables if you need and a range of places to eat at different price ranges.

We LOVED Dhiffushi!

We LOVED Dhiffushi! A real taste of a local island, the thing that struck us was how quiet and peaceful it was. We wandered everywhere on foot and loved that the roads are all sand. We were there in monsoon season and experienced some storms but they were short and everyone just gets on with stuff. There was some rubbish washed up on the non-hotel beach areas but most hotels keep their areas spotless. Both bikini beaches were absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend Dhiffushi as a real gem of a local island. As an added bonus, we could not believe how cheap everything was too!

I loved the proximity to Male for ease of arrival and departure. I also loved looking at the city lights from afar, whilst being separated by stunningly turquoise waters and the gentle sounds of lapping waves. The marine life in the lagoon was plentiful and beautiful, and I had many marine visitors near my villa at all hours of the day. The snorkelling with sharks-excursion was probably the single best experience, but the resort itself was the star of the whole experience. The quality of the villa (amazing bed, wonderful toiletries from L'Occitane, the view, the constant refill of free fresh water and Nespresso coffee) and the rest of the resort (amazing food, world-class spa) was the stuff of holiday dreams!

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.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life. And mind you, I have visited many seas in many countries! For food, I recommend the restaurant at the Dhiguveli hotel and the Teapot restaurant. Getting around the island is very easy; you can reach any place quickly on foot. Don't miss going to the sandbank at one of the ends of the island.

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.

The people that work there in the island are very genuine and polite and helpful, always smiling. They make your time there very pleasant. Don’t forget to tip them. Jr and Anastasia from the club house coordinators are amazing and multi talented individuals. Don’t miss their daily sport activities by the pool.
