Accessible Hotels in Mahibadhoo

First of all, I highly recommend you read it until the end. An excellent facility on a small and quiet local island full of underwater riches. As soon as you put your feet into the water at the tourist beach, you are surrounded by dozens of different species of fish, but swimming with the fish seen on Youtube is a priceless experience. Mr. Ahmad, the owner of the hotel, is a very polite and helpful person. He is very professional in making all the necessary arrangements for you when you arrive from the capital to the island, in welcoming you at the entrance and when you leave the island. If you want to participate in off-island activities, they will help you as much as they can. You have breakfast as an open buffet at the best restaurant on the island. You should definitely try the product made especially from fresh tuna. Among the 4 hotels I stayed in on 4 different islands during my Maldives trip, this was definitely the newest, cleanest and cheapest. I can guarantee that you will feel at home in this hotel. I would also like to consider that restaurants, off-island activities, and many other things on the island are cheaper than on many tourist islands. Also; Mahibadhoo may not be the best island in the Maldives, but it is a fact that there are better ones in terms of nature and tourism. But if you really want to relax in a quiet environment, this quiet and tiny island located in the natural wonder South Ari Atoll is definitely one of the best local islands you can find. Never mind that the tourist beach is smaller than some, because there are only a few people on the beach at most, so the beach is yours! I definitely recommend splitting your Maldives holiday across more than one island, as I did, and devoting at least some of it to this island and this hotel.

- well maintained, new hotel - friendly staff - close to the beach - good breakfast

friendly staff, great location near the beach

Everything was great, breakfast was well organised, the choice is small but very tasty and changing every day. Staff is very welcoming and helpful, they were asking us every day if everything was good. It is a perfect value for the price.

Ari Grand Hotel on Dhangethi Island exceeded all expectations during my recent stay. The friendly staff made me feel truly at home from the moment I arrived. The clean swimming pool and inviting garden sofas were perfect for relaxation and work. The spacious room, along with the unexpected upgrade to the Jacuzzi Suite, added a touch of luxury to my experience. Breakfast was a delightful treat each morning, with a variety of delicious options. I'm already planning my next visit to this serene oasis. Thank you, Ari Grand Hotel, for an unforgettable getaway!

The best touristic experience of our life. The seaplane transfer was well organized, only 25 minutes to the island from MLE. We stayed 7 days in a beach villa, close to the peer. It was comfy, spacious and always very clean thanks to Esa from the maintenance compartment. The staff was very helpful, the kitchen was variable and really delicious. I have to say thanks to Ali and Sonjeet, they were extreme friendly and kind. Such as at the restaurant we had Heidi, Muneeb and Visham and the whole stuff; so wonderful people who are there for every moment to make our holiday even better then best! Nova is brand new, with an exceptional house reef and great sealife. Dive spots are really good, wreck dive can be done. Thanks to Tanya who was a great dive instructor for my AOWD course, and she was very patient and kind to my 8y old doughter at the boublemaker program. Do not miss the whaleshark watching! It was a breathtaking moment to see such a big fish so close to you. It was our 4th time in Maldives, but this experience is a different level then the others. Its really touched our soul! We (and chocolate the giraffe) gonna come back for sure! Thanks Nova!

An excellent maldivian getaway stay with one of the best dive experiences.
