Olive Goidhoo

If you want off the beaten track and local guest house experience you cannot beat this place ! Jordy and his team are a great combination of friendless and so helpful in day to day planning from Kayaking to taking a speed boat out they were really good . The food is simple and local and I had the best fresh fish for dinner one evening which was a real pleasure . Breakfast is simple do try hedika in the local cafe during the afternoon or buy some snacks in the local grocery store ! The walk to the beach is quite long take a bike or get a lift . My room was great had everything I wanted although missed a fridge but got by ! I would highly recommend a stay here if you’re looking for a local island in the Maldives ! Thank you for a lovely stay

This was an amazing place to stay! A lovely location, great service and great food. We stayed for 2 weeks at olive, our room had great AC, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner in our package and it did not disappoint, the food was always fresh and different! Vipen, Jordy and the Chef were amazing attributes to such a lovely place. In the 2 weeks we did snorkelling with mantarays, turtles, sharks and a boat trip with dolphins! There is a local boat that can take you to the other islands which is a great way to spend a day as the beaches are gorgeous on Fehuldhoo! We did have some mould in our room just as a side note about one thing we would change, but bar that it was great, thank you so much for the stay! A speed boat will pick you up from the airport at $45 a head and it’s about an hour and half trip! Due to the maldieves being a Muslim country alcohol is not permitted- just so you’re aware There is one designated bikini beach for tourists, make sure if you swim at any of the other beaches you are covered as it is not permitted otherwise! The Wi-Fi connection was temperamental so make sure you get a good data package at the airport in a sim- ours was $50 for 50gb and that will last you.

Stayed 4 nights and 5 days in Olive. What a wonderful time we had in Goidhoo and in Olive. We did snorkeling trips and island hopping and all our requests were personally handled by the owner of Olive Jordy  He was very accommodating and always guided us to the best options.  Day-to-day operations were handle by very lovely ladies who always helped us with a smile.  Olive have bicycles for rent which came as a blessing to discover Goidhoo. What a lovely island it was. If you go, discover Goidhoo and the close by islands. Every island has its beauty. Olive is situated in a such a place that you have enough privacy and a beach infront.  Sometimes we were picked up and dropped off for excursions,  right in front of the hotel beach which was more than our expectation.  I would give Olive Goidhoo a 5 star rating for the reasons: 1.  Our adventurous day ended in comfort of Olive rooms which done tastefully and comfortably. 2. Very clean 3. Extremely helpful 4. Food was good 5. Management and staff are nice and helpful 6. All things we wanted to was arranged easily.  7. We had our privacy and space. 8. People of Goidhoo are nice. They leave you alone but if you talk to them, they will talk back with a smile. Overall, one of the best island experiences from  all my island trips. Kind of place/island I will go back ( many times ) Cheers

Excellent experience during our Honeymoon!!! the host and his staff are professional, very kind and available at any time for any request: they accomplish us in everything! The boss organized for us a room, with flowers fruite and bottle to celebrate our honeymoon, with great style and romanticism!!!! The guesthouse is very nice and clean, food is clearly typical, the best we had in all Maldives, and it has also a private beach from where you can start your breathtaking excursions. Indeed, they know their atoll so well that the excursions were perfect, safe and astonished: we saw everything. They also managed to get PCR Test in loco and getting results the day after, without any delay. At the end they organized for us a private dinner on their private beach sunset. One of the best experience of our life, the best like couple! We lived a dream there, so thank you for everything!!
