Guest house holiday rentals in Alifu Dhaalu Atoll

Fantastic experiences to live in Amir's home stay. He is an very very very good host to take care not only room but also give US guide and support to the local tour. Our family is very satisfied with his service. We will recommend him to other friends and try to come back next time.

Well, for me and my wife, the trip was memorable right till the end. Though Hassan had some confusions in the beginning that I had booked for Maafushi Island and he quoted me excursion and transfer prices per that Island; however, post realizing, he was considerate enough to offer excursion prices in Dhangethi Island at the rate . What I loved about Mala Boutique: Hosts: The communication was effortless and well managed, Ali was there to pick us up at the Airport, helped us with local SIM and showed us around Male as he was a local guide. He even spotted few Mantas for us near the vegetable market and got us to board the speed boat. At the listing the roles were quite neatly cut out: Shon: He was the care taker and made sure that all the necessary amenities were available for us. We were carrying heavy luggage, he got it transported to our listing Ali: The cook made some lip smacking delicacies and was always asking for feedback to make his preparations better. Breakfast used to be the same for all the days; however, lunch and dinner were mostly continental or Maldivian cuisines/ curries Saalley: This guy was a revelation. He was the instructor appointed for us for all the excursions be it Manta, Turtle or Sandbank Snorkeling, Dolphin/ Tuna Spotting or Island hopping. He was patient to the core, knew what he was doing, took some breathtaking pictures (even of a Shark up close) - He kinda made all our days memorable. The room at the listing was comfortable with powerful AC's. The cleaning crew were considerate enough to leave the AC's on post cleaning so that we came back to a comfortable and cool room after spending time getting tanned at the bikini beach. About Dangethi Island: Firstly, please don't consider it as a luxurious Resort island as you are not paying for that but the excursions and the hosting/ human connect that Mala boutique offers is at par with them. The Island was around 100 kms away from Male and life is quite lazy here. You get a lot of privacy. Locals will always smile at you and will not ever enforce or solicit anything. There are some souvenir shops on the island which can be explored. You can explore the whole island on foot in an hour - also try it without foot-wears - you'll find white sand not only in the beach but on the streets as well Also locals don't come to bikini beach, you are entitled to complete privacy there. Things to cross-check before arriving & the opportunities: - Always keep a mosquito repellent - Its a tropical island, you'll find them everywhere and they are quite adamant on sucking your blood and you can easily kill them in the act as they prefer foreign blood over dying - Goes without saying, keep a good Sunscreen (SPF 50 on you) a Sun hat or if possible a wet suite. - Respect the local laws and culture as women are supposed to wear clothes that covers their Shoulder and knees - Though, in our short stay, we never saw this rule getting imposed on anyone but we still followed it out of respect to local customs. - Variety can be brought in the breakfast I can't think of any other opportunities as I was busy collecting memories and I took truck loads of them back home - Thanks to you guys.

A unique and lovely place right on the beach. Amir made sure everything was simple and easy for me from the moment I arrived to when I departed. He made my whole trip feel special.

We had a wonderful stay here! This is a cosy hotel situated in a quiet location close to the bikini beach (the best I’ve seen so far in Maldives). The room was sparkling clean and there is good internet. What made it really special was the kindness of the owner Mr Ali and the managers Ibrahim and Mohamed. They were really nice and Ibrahim took us on a tour of the island on the first day. Then we could enjoy the underwater wonders of the islands thanks to Mohamed who shared his passion for the sea with us, and even gave us a very nice video. We always felt very well taken care in this hotel, and I really recommend it for anyone who wants a true Maldivian experience. Thank you so much Mr Ali, Ibrahim and Mohamed! All the best to you!

We stayed two nights at this very friendly and nice guesthouse. Each room looks almost like a little own house and have the doors towards the common “sand garden”. The room is beautiful with everything you need; AC, good lightening, bathroom (with both shampoo and soap). Extra plus for the half outdoor bathroom. The staff at this place are all very nice and are always ready to do the little extra for you. We went with them snorkeling which was really good. The island’s house reef is big and beautiful. Would totally come back to this place next time I’ll visit the island.

This boutique hotel is perfect if you're looking for a private, romantic Maldives getaway without big resort crowds. We were treated like family from the moment we arrived—the staff is incredibly kind, always ready to help with a warm smile. Breakfast was unforgettable—fresh tropical fruits, Maldivian tuna in various styles, and lattes. They even climbed a tree for mangoes! The hotel arranged magical excursions with Hamid of Blue Marlin Excursions—swimming with majestic manta rays, exploring a pristine sandbank, and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters with vibrant marine life. We were even provided with incredible videos and photos of the experience!!!! Every detail was seamless, from the golf cart pickup at the dock to the personalized service throughout our stay. This boutique hotel is a hidden paradise where romance, adventure, and hospitality unite. Would we return? Absolutely!

Saud welcomed us at the harbour and took us and our luggage to his hotel, showing the beach that is just meters away from the rooms. The room was located in the inner courtyard of the building, it was very clean and had the required things for spending a few days. Breakfast was served as a buffet in the inner courtyard. He also organised a manta excursion for us.

We had such a wonderful stay at Aquatic Mathiveri. The room was clean, cozy. The location couldnt be better, just a short 2 minute walk to the beach. What really made our stay extra special was our host, Arshad. He truly went above and beyond to help us out with everything from planning activities to sorting out bike rentals and more. He was incredibly generous and always happy to help. Highly recommend staying at aquatic mathiveri
