Hotels in the Maldives

Our goal for this getaway was simple: to unwind and escape the everyday. We were drawn to this destination for its promise of seclusion, minimal crowds, attractive pricing, and encouraging reviews for a recently launched establishment. We weren't disappointed – it delivered on all fronts. From the outset, communication with the owner and manager via WhatsApp was seamless and helpful, including arranging our transfers. The island is wonderfully intimate; you can explore its entirety in a gentle 10-minute walk. The tranquility, with so few other visitors, was precisely the atmosphere we craved. The accommodation is new, bright, and tastefully furnished, true to the online photos. The room was well-equipped with air conditioning, a fan, a private bathroom with a shower, a mini-fridge, and a safe. We slept soundly on the comfortable double bed, and daily water was a thoughtful touch. The restaurant offers a core menu, but the kitchen team was incredibly flexible, preparing our requests, and the seafood platter was fantastic. Just make sure you arrange this in advance. One of the most memorable moments was when Nya, having heard my wife’s birthday had just passed, surprised her with a cake and candles while the entire staff sang 'Happy Birthday'. It was a genuinely heartwarming gesture that left my wife overjoyed. Every staff member we encountered was attentive, genuinely welcoming, and always smiling. The pristine beach and crystal-clear water were a daily delight. We had incredible encounters with marine life, spotting turtles, small sharks, and even a graceful stingray. Nya also offered a selection of activities at fair prices, enhancing our experience. Ultimately, this was an impeccable choice for the peaceful and rejuvenating holiday we envisioned. I wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem for those seeking a private, picturesque, and budget-friendly escape.

We had an unforgettable week at Rihiveli Residence. The experience was simply superb! The staff was incredibly attentive and hospitable, always ready to assist with any of our requests. The room was spacious, with a stunning view of the sea, and equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Overall, the experience was mixed. The positives included the cleanliness of the room and the convenient location of the hotel near the beach. We enjoyed excellent service at the hotel restaurant, where culinary masterpieces simply amazed the imagination. And how they celebrated my birthday, you have to see it to believe it. We will definitely come back here again and again!

Everything was perfect, the room, the breakfast, the personnel, amazing! Big thanks to Shifau

An amazing trip and an amazing host. Areef if such a kind man, and made sure I reached my next destination. Always avaliable 24/7. Comfortable room and modern room/ bathroom, even down to comfortable bedsheets. You can put your mind at rest, and stay here with Areef, you won't regret it!

Very nice and quiet location. The best local island experience. The host is very friendly and provides all the information you need. Many options for day trips and activities in reasonable prices.

Amazing service, such a new hotel, the staff truly went above & beyond!! Transferring me around when I needed to get places on time, even lending me their own iPhone cord when I lost mine & their laptop when mine broke 🤣🥹🫶 such kind lovely people, and wow such a delicious breakfast too! Highly recommend, thanks for the best stay 🥰

This hotel is really amazing which deserves my 5 stars review and honestly, the staffs were so cooperative and nice. (Manager, Chef, Server, Receptionist especially) We were given a free delicious lunch when we arrived and assisted us all throughout. They are all friendly and well informed about everything in the island. The room is really great with a wooden-dim ambiance and a cute little coffee garden behind. The room comes with an espresso machine as well. The food were all 5-stars which really surprised us. It exceeded our expectations as every meal were so delicious and served like in a 5 stars fine dining restaurant. Everything in this hotel were amazing aside from this wonderful local island. I strongly recommend this to everyone, solo, group, couple who would like to enjoy the serenity and beauty of Fulhadhoo Islands in Maldives.

The rooms are just as beautiful as shown in pictures and also provide a yoga mat and a beach bag. The whole building feels really spacious, bright and open and has its own Bikini beach area right in front, where you can just hang out or go snorkeling or stand up paddling. You get daily updates about weather, tides and activities. Even if the island is really remote and luckily not touristy, you can pretty much do any activity like snorkeling trips, fishing trips, dolphin cruise etc, all carefully prepared and done by the owner Ismail himself. On top of that there were complimentary activities done by Ismail such as house reef snorkeling and short thematic walks, so you could truly get to know the island and Maldivian culture. The island itself is also just super beautiful. With only a small village, half of the island is pretty green jungle and the bikini beach area spans across a wide part of the island. You cannot walk all around the isla nd, which makes it perfect to have nice little isolated beach areas to yourself. Also the house reef of the island is amazing with so many different fish - it’s just a dream for snorkeling. If you are lucky you can even see Manta rays right from the beach or from the SUP. What really makes this place special is the people who go above and beyond so that you can have your perfect holiday - from fresh coconut right from the tree or amazing chai tea, to organizing trips that are not regularly offered. If you have any questions or need anything, you can always reach out to the wonderful team and everybody will be warm and welcoming. Thank you so much, Ismail and Akoo and the whole team for this amazing holiday - it is really appreciated!

Everything was and more than extraordinary. Food was delicious, everyone smiling and helpful , island couldn't be more amazing than it is. It just feels like you are in utopia world where there are no worries or bad feelings. They do everything they can to exceed tge expectations, from cleaning the room 2 times per day, till making sure you have everything you need, or favourite table at the restaurant. They are just so thoughtful. Thank you Ecoboo team, will be back 🙏🏼❤

Had a great experience! Ahmed was super responsive and really helpful throughout my stay. He arranged smooth transport from the airport and also helped organize my transfer to Rasdhoo when I left. Everything was hassle-free. Highly recommend — would definitely come back!

At this accommodation you will find everything you want, a delicious breakfast, friendly people ready to help you with everything you need, accommodation close to the beach and offering snorkeling equipment. Ahmed organized the most beautiful activities at ocean. Whatever activity we wanted to do or whatever we needed, the people at the accommodation helped us and offered us. This accommodation is more than a simple place to stay, the people there make you feel like part of the family. A part of our soul remained there and we couldn't wait to return.

The property is in perfect place, super comfortable room, clean, easy to get to the beach, and to any restaurants. They are very kind and welcoming.
