We cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. Everything was perfect, lovely clean room, very spacious and well equipped. Great breakfast and appreciated tea and coffee always being available. Collected from the harbour and helped us arrange our ferry transfers from the airport, making our journey seamless. Booked 2 excursions with the hotel (manta rays and whale shark snorkelling) both included lunch, and additions we weren’t expecting! Extra reef snorkelling and stopping at another island. Special thank you to Waruna (maybe incorrectly spelt!) who was always around at meals and such a positive person. We really enjoyed chatting to him about our recent trip to Sri Lanka. Also thank you to Anoof and Adheel (again may be spelt incorrectly!) who organised and were on our excursions, really appreciated your expertise and taking care of us, especially when one of us couldn’t find the boat! It really made our trip special. Thank you to Siyam, the hotel truely is a gem and we’d recommend it to everyone.

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.

Imran is an amazing manager! He manages the place like his own and very attentive to every need. Staff was cheerful and attentive all the time as well. To be honest our stay was beyond our expectations 10/10 and if I could give more than 10 I would! A couple of things that the staff did was very heartwarming. Even-though I didn't mention that we came for holidays in Maldives for my mums birthday they've checked the dates and noticed it and prepared a special surprise for us! It was very unexpected and made us feel cozy and happy! The second thing that amazed me is my SD card for the underwater camera didn't work and Imran managed to bring a new one from Male! He organized all our outdoor trips/excursions etc. In short we will be back when we have time for sure. Thanks for everything!!! Darya and Anna

The owner and staff were all very friendly, attentive and helpful, we felt very welcome.The owner organised a boat trip out to see the turtles and the two guides on the boat were great- very friendly and informative. The hotel is on the beach and only a couple of minutes walk to the bikini beach. The food was good, breakfast and evening meal was slightly different every day. All of the staff provided quick service and kept an eye if you ever needed anything.

A very nice guesthouse close to the center of Thoddoo and also few minutes walking from beautiful Sunset Beach. The room has everything you need, very spacious as the bathroom with a big space for the shower. Nice towels, changed often or on request.The fridge in the room is a good extra to keep water/fruit in it. A/C and fan working well, and no mosquitos at all. The patio outside the room is a very nice place to relax. Ishan helped a lot for every single need or information. Breakfast is amazing, rich and different every day; a special thank to Htun for her kindness always, she is the best breakfast chef in Thoddoo (best pancakes ever!) and she made the difference in our stay.

Would be hard to top up this holiday... We stayed 2 days in a Deluxe Beach Pool Villa and 5 in a Beach Villa. The DBPL is amazing. BV needs renovation but is good value for money for the Maldives. The house reef is excellent and the water around the island is pristine! We suggest going near the Italian restaurant to snorkel - we got to swim with reef sharks and many other big fish! They also offer a variety of excursions - we went to the Big Game Adventure Snorkelling, Sunset Fishing and Semi Submarine. The first one includes swimming with whale sharks, turtles and manta rays. incredible. The Sunset Fishing was also lots of fun - whatever you catch they also cook for you for free. The Semi Submarine is also an excellent way to explore the depths of the house reef. And finally, the staff... There are no words to describe how amazing the staff at this place is. There are some people we'd like to name because they helped make our holiday unforgettable. Starting off with Karthik who is one of the waiters in the coffee shop. This guy went above and beyond for us and helped massively with my partner's proposal, and on many other occasions. He's genuinely an extremely nice guy who would make sure you have everything you need and more :) Continuing with the guys from the coffee shop - we have Abigail and Jeremy who are the duet performing over there most nights. These guys are super talented and down to earth. They bring a lot of joy and genuinely just a great vibe to the place. Kudos. We also have Ijas who is another waiter there, always cheerful and polite. Moving on to Ibrahim who is a chef at the main restaurant - my fiancé is allergic to garlic (weird, yes) and he went out of his way to make sure he had delicious food to eat at every meal. All the guys from the Watersport centre were great as well! And finally, our housekeeper Elias who took good care of us during our stay and made sure our room was always clean and tidy.

From the very first moment, we arrived at the airport and met the Kandolhu team until our departure. Every detail of our stay was flawlessly orchestrated to create an exceptional experience. Though we stayed for only three nights, the warmth, professionalism, and excellence of the team made it truly unforgettable. Location: The journey itself is part of the magic—just a 20-minute scenic seaplane flight followed by a short 5-10 minute boat ride that transports you to this paradise. The Island: Small, serene, and breathtakingly beautiful, Kandolhu is the epitome of a private island retreat. The Resort: Thoughtfully designed with just 30 villas, the property balances exclusivity and comfort. It offers five outstanding restaurants, a stylish bar, a well-equipped gym, a serene spa, and a sea activities center—ensuring that every guest finds their own perfect way to unwind. Our Villa: We chose an overwater villa, and it exceeded all expectations. With a private pool and direct sea access, it provided the perfect blend of luxury and tranquillity. Staff & Service: The essence of true hospitality is mastered here. The team anticipated our needs before we even realized them, creating a seamless, highly personalized experience. Their warmth and attention to detail set a new benchmark for excellence. Dining: A standing ovation to the executive chef, sous-chefs, and the entire culinary team. The food was fresh, inventive, and packed with flavour. With five distinct restaurants—offering Mexican-Peruvian, Mediterranean, Japanese, Sea Grill, and an all-day dining option—every meal was a delightful journey of taste. Spa: We had the 'couple ritual'. A sanctuary of relaxation, the spa at Kandolhu offers a truly rejuvenating experience. With expert therapists, soothing treatments, and a tranquil setting, every session feels like a retreat within a retreat—perfect for unwinding and embracing the island’s serenity. Housekeeping: Impeccable.

This was one of our best experiences we ever had. We stayed for our honeymoon in the jacuzzi water villa with the sunset view. There are no words to describe how amazing the staff at this resort is. Thank you so much for making this trip so memorable and special for us!! Our host Alena was amazing, sweet and caring. The island is perfectly maintained, it is soo clean! Room service is done 2 times a day and was done extremely professionally. The food was delicious and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. I am allergic to mushrooms, and the stuff was really keen to prepare the same dish without them if I asked. I didn’t even needed to mention it again to the cooks as they remembered about my allergy and made sure I do not pick up some inappropriate dish accidentally in the following days of stay! Furthermore, head chef did quite a good job on creating a wonderful menu for a breakfast, lunch, buffer dinner and Christmas gala dinner! We were seriously impressed by the variety of food and interesting combinations of flavours!! Thank you so much! We have been to other two five-star resorts in Maldives, and honestly it is not even comparable! We met guests on Veligandu island, who had their second or third time stay here. I believe that if people are choosing the same resort again and again this indicates something.❤️ The island is quite small, but we were never bored here. We really enjoyed the house reef, because it is full of life! We saw turtles, different types of rays, ocellaris clownfish and many other types of fish, baby sharks and crabs are everywhere!! 🦀🦈 And finally, the bananas growing on this island are literally out of this world!!so tasty! 🍌 This resort is a true paradise!🏝️

Our visit to the Maldives for our 10th wedding anniversary was made truly special by our stay at the luxurious Constance Moofushi. The all-inclusive resort, from the management to the staff, went above and beyond to exceed our every expectation. Their welcoming and attentive nature made us feel like VIPs, ensuring our experience was nothing short of perfection. The overwater villas, the stunning infinity pool, and the world-class spa were just a few of the many amenities that added to our unforgettable experience. The management (Mevin GM and Manjoola Assistant GM) is deeply committed to providing an exceptional guest experience. They personally checked in with us multiple times during our stay to see if we needed anything and applied the same principle to all their guests. What an incredible leadership. You will not experience this in any other resorts. Our surprise romantic candlelit dinner on the beach, complete with a personalised cake and a crew to wait on us, was a thoughtful touch that made us feel incredibly special. Constance Moofushi's staff are professional and friendly and deeply dedicated to providing world-class service. Whether it was the concierge, housekeeping, or the dining team, their high level of attentiveness was always present, without ever feeling intrusive. We booked a beach villa and later moved into a senior villa, which was a real treat. The resort offers a variety of dining options, from the Manta restaurant serving international cuisine to the Alize restaurant offering a fine dining experience. Their impeccable attention to detail and their excellent attitude in handling every request made us feel reassured and confident in the service we were receiving.

The food was delicious, the staff is always nice, the island is small but private. You will enjoy the peace and quiet. We stayed in a beach villa, which has a beautiful view. I recommend numbers 17 and 18, they have the most beautiful view of the sea. Some villas have a view of the stone barrier. I recommend bringing your shoes for the sea and definitely don't forget your snorkeling masks and fins. We had half board, we didn't miss lunch. We paid for everything else only when we left, including the seaplane. We went on a trip to watch manta rays and nurse sharks ($165/2 people). Whale shark watching costs $500/2 people. There is a small shop on the island if you forget something. You don't need Maldivian money. The sand is full of shell fragments, a bit uncomfortable for your feet. In conclusion, it is a wonderful place to relax.

We had stayed Centara Grand Island Resort for 5 days over the year end and the new year with our family of 4 including an infant & kid. We enjoyed swimming together with lots of beautiful fishes and leaf sharks in quite transparent sea having lots of corals. In the evening, we could see a beautiful sunset and stars. All of staffs in the hotel have a great hospitality and service spirits that fully satisfied and enjoyed us until the end. The water flooting villa and its amenities always had been kept clean and meals served were really wonderful. We would like to say thank you all in the hotel as our children looked so happy and the trip became an unforgettable memory for us. If we will have a chance, we definitely would like to visit there again.

Great house reef with lots of colorful corals growing again. High density of fish. Some turtles. Some sharks. No rays seen during our week. However, there are 35 min to 50 min speed boat journeys to whaleshark and manta sites. We have seen both. Beautiful beach. No waste. Beautiful trees. Great food, especially soups, salads, shots, indian & maldivian & sri lanka food. Very clean facilities Great for couples and families Flight from Male is 400 USD for a return ticket. Had a wonderful time there and would return.

I have been to the Maldives more than 20 times. This is the best hotel I have ever been to. The cleanest water, the rich living world of the coral reef: parrot fish, sharks, turtles and manta rays and all this swims not far from the houses. Impeccable cleanliness, perfect service. Responsive staff, always ready to help. Special respect to Max.

An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life. And mind you, I have visited many seas in many countries! For food, I recommend the restaurant at the Dhiguveli hotel and the Teapot restaurant. Getting around the island is very easy; you can reach any place quickly on foot. Don't miss going to the sandbank at one of the ends of the island.

I didn't like that the island lost most of it's green and I didn't see the wild nature I prefer. There was a lot of construction going on the moment I was there, I felt discomfort because of that. And maybe in 1-2 years it's going to be over I think. But on the other hand there's just amazing diving on the house reef and nearby reefs. There's a lot of nice restaurants and there was no day I felt bored.

Great Island, plenty to do and good snorkelling straight off Villa. Food, people and facilitiies were great - cannot fault. Deluxe water villas were a bit tired and really need a refurbishment - other than that great time in Kuramathi...

It is a small enough island to walk around.

It is a small enough island to walk around. The locals are extremely friendly - always saying hello. There are 3 restaurants all along the west coast. Compass seems most popular. But all are good with same offering of food. There is a fair amount of building going on at the moment as they gear up for more tourists. We used South Ari Dive for our diving trips. They are professional and friendly.

You need maximum 3 days to complete all trips, any more than that would have to be someone who loves water sports as these are the main activities in this country, anyways. Bring a mosquito or any insect repellent, you will need these after a stroll on the shores or anywhere there are plants. Also have an anti-nausea pill if you are the seasick type. Taxis have a fixed price for each location, check that out. Alcohol in the resorts is expensive but then again that's all you got. Best to pay all meals or include dinner in your package as there are almost no restaurants outside, depending on the island, and if you find one it's either a chips or coffee spots.

It was not my first time in Maldives and my experience there was disappointing compared to my previous trips in other resorts. The quality of service is poor and it’s a shame because the resort is lovely and the staff are nice but lack professionalism.

A Wonderful Beach Holiday.

A Wonderful Beach Holiday. Necessary structure: shops and cafes are available. The ability to pay with a bank card, as well as in cash (USD, MVR). Good exchange rate in all places. I was pleased with both Mathiveri and Mathiveri Finholu: the beaches are clean, the sand does not burn your feet, and there is a comfortable "coolness" in the shade of the trees.

Feridhoo is an island inhabited by locals.

Feridhoo is an island inhabited by locals. They are Muslims, so respect them and wear decent clothes when walking through the village. The island has 2 restaurants with good food and fair prices, one dive base (Noohiri) and one small shop next to Shifa Lodge. We came for diving and found an abundant maritime life. There are 2 beach areas, one at the east side with the best snorkeling ground, the other at north/west side with berths for relaxing.

We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean.

We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean. The food is AMAZING! Everyone from staff are kind. The resort is sustainable, they try very hard to recycle and repurpose almost everything which is really nice. All inclusive is the smarter choice, trust me😄 The snorkeling is really fun! The whole island stands on coral reef and there is a lot to see! Maybe bring your own equipment, although you can rent. I don’t recommend the visit to the local island, nothing to see there We absolutely recommend
