We stayed at Stone Hotel for one week and we loved it. It was my 40th birthday and staff surprised me with the decoration on our bed and a birthday cake. That was really nice of them and made me so happy!! The view of our room was amazing, the room was clean and had everything we needed. There were also the gym and an infinity pool on the roof. The breakfast was good and we had dinner at Aanu restaurant almost every night and we loved the food. The service was great and we loved all the people were working there. We had an unforgettable week and we highly recommend this stay to everyone.

I had a room with balcony and sea view and highly recommended. You can sleep with the sound of the ocean and watch beautiful sunsets. They clean the room every day and provide fresh towels for the beach. Staff is very kind and supportive. The double bed is big. You have also big wardrobe and fridge which is very useful. They respond on WhatsApp which helps and arrange also the speed boat. You also have sunbeds you can use for free at the private beach.

EVERYTHING!!! Our stay at Samura Panorama Guest House was amazing! The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The beach was beautiful and just a few steps away—perfect for relaxing or activities. The best part was the service. Sanjay, the manager, was so kind and helpful.

Highly recommended! This brand-new beachfront hotel truly has the best location on the island with stunning views. The sea-view rooms are amazing, and relaxing on the balcony while watching the ocean was unforgettable. The beach is just a few steps away. I joined the excursions (sharks, sandbank, dolphins, snorkeling) and every experience was truly memorable. They even provided drone and GoPro videos — the quality was excellent and a really nice souvenir from the trip. It was a wonderful stay, and I really want to come back to this hotel!

    From US$583.14 per night
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.7
    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 396 reviews
    We loved Hotel Embudu Village Resort Maldives! Location was great, not far from Male Airport, about 25 minutes by private speedboat. At arrival we were looked after by the very capable reception team of the resort, namely by their knowledgably member Mr. Haaid. Two other remarkable members were Mr. Pushpa and Mr. Dennis who were able to inform and guide us when needed throughout our stay. They made Check-in easy, and our room was at the edge of the beautiful ocean. This Island is perfect for snorkeling, the island has lots of coral., you can experience swimming with Nemos’, sharks, turtles and many beautiful fish. In the evening, just standing at the Pier (main entrance village) you can see the fish at nighttime. There is a Diving school on the Island, here you can rent all your snorkeling equipment starting from $10 USD per item per day. There is a restaurant, where we were able to have fresh coconut juice straight from the coconut every day and ate the pulp of it. The staff provided lots of useful information about the Maldives Islands. Housekeeping checked the room daily if we requested and Mr. Ibrahim did a great job. The room was spotless every time. He made sure that we had everything we needed. Breakfast buffet had fresh fruits, smoothies, pastries and many variations, something for everyone (even lactose free). Thanks to the Head Chef we got a carton of Lactose free milk to take back to our room. The dinner in the restaurant was extremely delicious, good taste and you really finished your plate. Mr. Samad was taking care of us. The kitchen staff (Head Chef and his great team) were fantastic! The most impeccable part of our stay was the entire staff's hospitality, which was A1 and made our stay a very memorable happening. We highly recommend this hotel with their most respected teams of operations.

    Our stay was absolutely incredible. We were greeted with the lovely reception at the pier after a very comfortable short trip via speedboat. We then enjoyed the brand new beautiful, spacious and quiet over-water villa with a wonderful sunset view and private pool. Ibrahim was our host during our stay - he was always available when we needed him and exceeded with everything we asked for! From helping us get to places, sorting restaurant reservations, to giving us tips for snorkeling spots and having answers to all our Maldives-related questions. The resort and facilities were perfect - all restaurants were amazing, especially Baan Huura and Origami. Roshan and Sony at Origami truly made our night special. For people that like activities, there is more than enough to chose from. We really can't wait to be back. All in all a perfect place to stay and relax and enjoy time away from a busy time at home.

    We loved everything. We had bad luck with weather for the first 2 days but with the help of Abdulsalaam (our concierge) and rest of staff, that loss was quickly compensated. The water villas are magnificent, photos do them justice, but don’t really explain the happiness of taking a dive and seeing all the coral and loads of fish right in your house. The food is always on point, both in main restaurant or in the Japanese one. The staff always cordial and attentive. The ladies in the spa are true magicians. The activities available were great, especially swimming with the sharks.

    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.

    One of the most beautiful places in the world. Wherever you look, you'll find postcard worthy landscape. The ocean was very clean, ideal for snorkling and apparently it was a good spot for surfing as well. All in all, a must see.

    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.

    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!

    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 absolutely loved my time in Thulusdhoo - my first time in the Maldives! I feel I picked a fabulous island to spend 4 days of relaxation and calmness following a busy elective healthcare placement. The island was so beautiful and peaceful. The beaches were so clean, white sands, the water was crystal clear, all sun-loungers free to use and very friendly locals and business owner stalls, businesses, and restaurants. A couple I met whilst away also got engaged on sunset beach with the most beautiful backdrop (a real must to visit during the evenings)! Plenty of places to choose from to eat - from beach bars to evening dining. I went to Juice Bench every day for lunch, the staff were so kind and smiley and the food was delicious and fresh. I also ate dinner at Indulge (10/10 pizza!), Cafe Bandaha for dinner, amazing tikka masala curry and the freshest apple juice! (Breakfast was included in my hotel - Eden Blue - which I also highly recommend!). I took two excursions with Baani Watersports - first the reef shark and stingray trip, which was absolutely amazing! The second trip was the sandbank and turtles trip, again - amazing! The team were very friendly, fun, and ensured we were looked after throughout. They took fabulous photo's of us all on their gopro which they sent to us afterwards free of charge. I also found their pricing very competitive! Getting around the island is easy peasy. I walked every day, it is quite small so can be easily lapped in around 45 minutes of strolling. People were also using mopeds and bicycles. I also received a complementary shuttle service from the ferry port to my accommodation and back which was a very welcomed bonus. Overall, the island is wonderful, the people are so lovely, and I'm SO glad I picked this island to spend my 4 days! I hope to be back one day soon - perhaps with someone next time so I have a companion in the evenings when it's a little quieter!

    It is a really peaceful island with a really nice beach. Beach has almost that resort level quality to it. Island is small, so besides water activities or some excursions, there is not much to do, so for some travelers it might get boring.

    Guraidhoo - ferry every day and easy to reach from Male, not so busy yet, not yet ugly concrete big buildings, bikini beach is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. White soft sand with turquoise warm water and sandy shore for fantastic swimming and walking on the sandbar - great for kids too, sunbeds and good cafe on the beach, there are corals and ship wreck for snorkeling and not to forget the shark feeding place - simply amazing to watch sharks and rays - great entertainment for the evening. There are great restaurants with fantastic prices. This island is amazing choice !

    Airport help desk doesn't know anything about Himmafushi. It was tough to manage a boat to Himmafushi from the airport. However, the beach was nice. I enjoyed the scene of small fishes near around the beach.

    We only had 4 days and picked Huraa because it is close to the airport. A very bad choice. The island is absolutely not nice, full of trash, nothing is taken care of, even the bikini beach was a huge disappointment, dirty, broken sunbeds, only 6 umbrellas. No cafes, restaurants anywhere. The only nice place on the entire island is the Pearl Sands. It is a hotel, but you can pay a daypass to use their beautiful private beach including a very a good lunch. That place saved our vacation.
