Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort
4.7/5158 Reviews
The good and the not-so-good: Good: very close to the airport, big island (bigger than many other resort islands in the Mals), very good for snorkeling (you will see lots of fish, and even turtles ), services are great. Lots of land & water activities eg. Tennis, badminton, table tennis, kayak. You will have a host who will look after you during your stay. The not-so-good: some rooms may have out of date furniture, food could be boring if you stay there long time. Airport transfer is expensive and you don’t have any other options but use it. The must try: Water villa, Snorkelling around the island, their Stingray snorkeling tour
FUNPLACE BEACH HOTEL
4.4/530 Reviews
Very nice and comfortable accommodation. Went with a friend of mine back in October 2023, and we were greeted by a warm friendly receptionist and a clean lobby. Our room was on the second floor, with very comfortable beds, toilets, and necessary amenities. Except that the sink's tap water smelled a little funny which we avoided using. However the reception was quick to send over whatever we requested, like water, clean towels etc. Would definitely book again if i ever visit Himmafushi again next time!

Ocean Pearl Maldives at Gulhi Island
4/511 Reviews
The hotel has a perfect location, the best on the island: it is in 10 meters only from the beautiful main entry to the bikini beach. The beach is so big and clean! Umbrellas are for an additional fee but there's no need in them cause you can sit wherever you want under the tree. I had a cosy room with a balcony, on the second floor. In the room, you have everything you need: an air conditioner, a kettle, a fridge, lots of lights, towels etc. Cleaning is upon request. Wifi was good. The staff is extremely friendly and polite, always ready to help, they helped me so many times with different questions, the kindest people!! A team of divers live at the hotel and leads excursions for guests from the whole island. Snorkeling with them was the best experience in my life! I've seen colorful fish, big sharks, dolphins, and even a sea turtle. For breakfast, you have a choice between continental and maldivian breakfasts, I personally loved the last one, it was delicious. Always fresh fruits and juice before breakfast. Sometimes in the evening, the hotel prepares barbecue dinner with fresh fish from the sea and with traditional music, such an authentic experience! There are several restaurants on the island to have dinner, including the hotel restaurant. They're more or less of the same quality and price, liked local food there. Gulhi is very calm and tiny island, just 30 min on the boat from Male island. (The transfer to Gulhi from the airport costs $25.) There were not many tourists on the island, when I stayed. No noise at night at all, so if you're looking for calmness, this is probably the better choice for you than Maafushi. Also it feels safe if you're a female solo traveler. For me, everything was just perfect, loved the place, the food, the beach, the excursions. I think the guesthouse is the best price/quality option on the island. Thanks so much❤️
Baros Maldives
4.8/571 Reviews
The weather is too bad and the hotel water house is good. The sand house is generally very rusty and not delicate. The hotel environment is not recommended because there are too many boats nearby and you can see the city of Male without the feeling of a water island and the land is too close at night Looking around, the lighting of the building in the distance is very poor. If the hotel on the four islands of Madai is the worst environment
Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives
4.6/571 Reviews
The service is great! The lifestyle host Eliza led us to our room (Reef Pool Water Villa) as soon as we arrived at the jetty - we did not need to wait till check in time of 14:00 (we arrived at about 10:00). We also get free use of snorkel gear during our stay. The water around us is fantastic - lots of marine life! The food is also great, though you must note that all drinks (even drinking water) are chargeable except during breakfast buffet. After the check out time of 12:00, the hotel arranged for us to stay till 8:00pm -3h before our flight at 11:40 pm and there are facilities for us to use at the beach club. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and we would definitely recommend this hotel.

The environment is good. The laundry and drying service is charged, and the price of one dollar per piece is acceptable.
Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives
4.5/594 Reviews
Hello, We stayed at Centara to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Everything was just more than our expectations. I chose Centara Ras Fushi as it’s close to the airport and hardly takes 20-25 mins by the speedboat. You don’t need a seaplane transfer. It costed us 155 USD per head for return speedboat transfer plus other environmental taxes. Firstly when we arrived, everything was taken care of and Liane from the Philipines 🇵🇭 welcomed us and guided us about the resort and the facilities. She took us to our water villa. Our water villa had everything but I was a bit disappointed as there wasn’t a bath tub and I didn’t choose the water villa with jacuzzi assuming we had a bath tub. Never mind 😌 They had upgraded our water villa to sunset water villa. It was amazing. We had direct access to water. We enjoyed the view from the room. They have amazing restaurants in the resort. I loved the buffet. Breakfast was great with variety. They have different themes everyday. The Khaimah - Arabic food tent was great too. Maaz treated us really well there. Also, in the Larozza-Italian restaurant, Anfau was very warm and kind to us. Yaya from The Thai restaurant was cute. We loved all the cuisines and it was delicious. We chose the all inclusive package which covered all the meals and the drinks. Our rooms were cleaned twice a day and everything was just perfect. Shohail was amazing and he made sure we are comfortable in our rooms. Our room was also decorated by him and we were given a cake and sparking juice to celebrate our anniversary. We will surely come back. Thank you so much Centara ♥️ 🏝️ 🌊

Kagi Maldives Resort & Spa
4.6/567 Reviews
The most beautiful holidays I've had so far. That's how I imagine paradise.   Arrival Arriving at Male airport for the first time is an experience, the airport is on an island itself and after leaving the airport all you see is clear blue water. Instead of taxis there are speedboats picking up tourists. Kagi island is about 1h by speedboat away (which is practically the better choice for Kagi, since the distance is small and water planes mean much more logistical effort. If you never flew with a water plane and want to experience it, do it on the way back). When we arrived on the island, we were welcomed by very friendly staff and bongo music which was super nice. Maria made us feel like home from the first minute and showed us everything important before leaving us to explore our own place.   Room We booked a pool villa in the sea which was beyond beautiful. The room is big and offers everything you need. Shampoo / conditioner is refilled every day, there is cream and after sun gel, you basically only need sun cream (also available on the island in a shop). The room has its own pool over the ocean and even though I didn't think I would use it, I ended up being in there every evening enjoying the sunset. Same applies for the bathtub, which was in the outside part of the bathroom, I spent some very relaxing evenings in there even when the weather was warm. The only thing to consider, the waves can be loud and crush into the outside of your pool, especially during the night this can be irritating if you have a light sleep. I usually use earplugs, so I didn't bother, but my partner struggled quite a lot. There are other villas with wave breakers in front, can't say if this makes a big difference but I guess so. The downside is the view is not the same with the breakers and for snorkeling it’s harder to get to the nice part of the reef. I would still go for the villas without breakers.   Location The island is small but still offers everything you need. The reef is extremely beautiful, just jump in the water with goggles and you see all kinds of fishes, even some small sharks sometimes. As a diver I can say, the reef was more interesting to explore than many dives I had in my life. The Spa is great and offers various treatments. There is also a modern gym and you can participate in the Yoga lessons every other day. I enjoyed the lessons a lot, even as a total beginner. I already miss them, might start doing Yoga myself now. :) There is also a small diving center. The dive guide was basically always available to us, very flexible and cool. We went for 11 dives in total and we were not disappointed. All of them were special and interesting. We didn't have to worry about anything, the boat brought us directly to the spots and picked us up after each dive, the crew was very professional and experienced. Maldives are great for diving, don’t miss the chance!   Restaurants Main restaurant and a la carte restaurant. We only booked B&B and wen
