Guest house holiday rentals in Maldives

We stayed with family on Gaafaru Island in Mirian Sky for 15 days . Met at the airport, transfer to the island, check-in - everything went great The host is the Gesta Immi, although not on the island, was always in touch with us and was ready to resolve any issues. The guesthouse fully corresponds to the photos in the listing - everything is clean, neat. Cleaning every three days, towels changed without reminders Meals - full board, bottled water every day for every meal, coffee, tea, tea in unlimited quantities. The choice of food is small( three types of pasta, two types of Nasigoren, chicken, french fries, tuna and different fish on the grill), of course you will not be hungry - but in a week all this food has arrived, and if the children are older( ours are 10 and 13 and especially inappropriate)- it will be difficult to feed. If you want variety, it's an additional charge. Average per dish= $10 In the neighboring guest, for example, there was a family from Russia - they had a menu in local currency , which is several times cheaper. Of the drinks, only instant juice( powder), there is no seafood either. Also, there was a lot of fruit for breakfast, there was only watermelon, pineapple, apples, oranges. Only one view was offered - most often apples or oranges. But on the island there was no selection of fruits in the shops, we met only watermelons and bananas( pears, apples, oranges were also available, but I do not consider it exotic) As I understand the fruits in the Maldives - this is basically a problem. That was a disappointment for us. Our chef Safe(I don't know if I wrote correctly) - smart, tried very hard, all dishes are always decorated and cooked very tasty. Bikini Beach is landscaped, beautiful, there is not enough greenery and palm trees yet), but it's a matter of time. This island has been opened for tourism relatively recently. There are sunbeds, swings - for a photo of good locations) Ocean of sparkle beauty. The home reef is rich in living. On the first snorkel, we saw shark, turtles, mantaments and many beautiful fish. On the very beach on the left there are also a lot of fish, we saw a muren, lobster, stingray) When entering the water, in the middle of the beach there are 5 or 6 pieces of baby shark. One day, even a dolphin came to our beach. Very cool! We were accompanied by our brother Immi -Appey for all the tours. The kids and we were thrilled to have a snorkel, kayaking and going to the sandy roe-it's very beautiful! We recommend to everyone. I would also like to say that the guest is a stone's throw from the mosque and the mule five times a day in the loudspeaker to pray, so if you are not a Muslim or sleeping lightly - it will be a "surprise") we woke up to prayer every morning at 4: 30is too early)) Also, there is no valid cafe on the island (due to COVID)- there is nowhere to sit in the evening. There are also no alcoholic beverages( but we knew about it. there is a ban on alcohol in the country) When leaving any local island, you need to pass a PCR test (including children), we passed the test in our guest-all organized and quickly. But by the way, the same family in the next guest left without tests - they told the host that Emirates Airlines didn't require a landing test, and he said, " Ok, no problem." We left on the same day, and we flew one airline. Of course, this moment is not clear to us. Someone is subject to the requirements of the Ministry of Tourism - and someone is a guestfriendly. I want to thank everyone very much when I finish my review!) We went by boat to the airport, waved Appey and Safe, which were standing on the marina and rolling tears - it was so sad to say goodbye to you and the island. At the airport we were met by Immi - gave us all the gifts to remember the island and MirianSky, it was very nice. Given all the nuances, I recommend visiting Gaafaru! I recommend MirianSky!

One word for the experience we've had with Karan is... Just Extraordinary! From the very start...when we just booked our stay, before even reaching Maldives, Karan guided us for all the necessary things to be taken care of while travelling and after reaching Maldives. Since it was our first trip, he made sure we were taken care of. Even if it was the resort selection or the restaurant preferences, he took care of it all. The rooms were as shown in the pictures. Very Cleanand Hygienic.. and they used to get cleaned up every day..spic n span! It was the best stay we could have expected in every possible! Thanks alot Karan...we had an amazing 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.

I spent more than a month in Vicky's. Everything was perfect, from cleanliness, to the very good breakfast, to the ideal location near bikini beach. Alam who was on site has always responded to all my requests with kindness. And communication with Vicky went very well. I'll be back tomorrow!

Faruhaadh was an excellent host with many years of experience in the hospitality industry. The room was spotless and had everything we needed and more. We loved all the thoughtful touches like a fruit basket and bottled water. The breakfasts with fresh juice every morning were also delicious. Would highly recommend the Beach Holiday Inn to anyone looking for a local island experience with the hospitality and service of a resort.

Thanks midsummer for the incredible stay! We would like specifically thank Rafiq for making us feel so welcome. His attentiveness, friendliness, local guidance and cooking was incredible. We couldn’t recommend it higher

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!

Our stay at the hotels was as comfortable as possible, there are no questions about the hotel itself, everything was great. The beach was a little bit not what we expected but the reef was also great Of the unpleasant moments - this is that the weather was bad by the end of our departure and we could not get on the first boat (you need to book in advance) and on the second boat we were already turned around and therefore we did not have time for our flight( Hussain tried to help us every step of the way and looked for all the opportunities he could, and listened to our indignation. For everyone who comes to the island - we advise you not to change a lot of dollars, because it is great to accept them, and in some cases may not even accept the Maldives Rufia.

great place.

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

We spent 1 week of absolut magic at premier beach. The rooms are right on the bikini beach, have a big bed and great shower. The AC is great too, it can get very hot on Gulhi. Having a small fridge and water kettle was perfect for making a coffee and stashing snacks. But the restaurant is wonderful too, Chef Vishnu and Chef Suresh do a great job. Gulhi had only few tourists when we were here, we were often snorkeling alone on the reef and also surfing alone on the small local surf spot. Such a great time. We lived Gulhi and premier beach!!!

Farid was a fantastic host. We loved this place. Really fantastic

Enthusiastic host

it is such a beautiful, very well thought, designed and put together villa. so calm and peaceful. Mr.Rashid was always ready to help.

perfect for everything ,very quite and private to stay and not far from the beach
