We are absolutely satisfied with our stay at the Oasis hotel and would recommend it to everyone visiting Dhigurah island! The hotel is beautiful, well equipped and only few steps from the beach. There is a small, cozy garden where the meals are served. You can enjoy a free coffee or tea at any time. Our room was cleaned every day and there was a bottle of water waiting for us. Apart from the hotel itself, what deserves a great appreciation is the staff. They were looking after us literally from our first to our last step on the island. The personnel is responsive and always there for you to help. On our last evening the hotel organized a fantastic surprise that we will never forget. We were feeling really welcomed and taken care of which we have never experienced to this extend in any other hotel we visited. Special thanks to Waruna, who pampered our room with great attention to details and took care of us during breakfasts. Thank you Oasis Team for the unforgettable stay!

First of all, I highly recommend you read it until the end. An excellent facility on a small and quiet local island full of underwater riches. As soon as you put your feet into the water at the tourist beach, you are surrounded by dozens of different species of fish, but swimming with the fish seen on Youtube is a priceless experience. Mr. Ahmad, the owner of the hotel, is a very polite and helpful person. He is very professional in making all the necessary arrangements for you when you arrive from the capital to the island, in welcoming you at the entrance and when you leave the island. If you want to participate in off-island activities, they will help you as much as they can. You have breakfast as an open buffet at the best restaurant on the island. You should definitely try the product made especially from fresh tuna. Among the 4 hotels I stayed in on 4 different islands during my Maldives trip, this was definitely the newest, cleanest and cheapest. I can guarantee that you will feel at home in this hotel. I would also like to consider that restaurants, off-island activities, and many other things on the island are cheaper than on many tourist islands. Also; Mahibadhoo may not be the best island in the Maldives, but it is a fact that there are better ones in terms of nature and tourism. But if you really want to relax in a quiet environment, this quiet and tiny island located in the natural wonder South Ari Atoll is definitely one of the best local islands you can find. Never mind that the tourist beach is smaller than some, because there are only a few people on the beach at most, so the beach is yours! I definitely recommend splitting your Maldives holiday across more than one island, as I did, and devoting at least some of it to this island and this hotel.

Everything was great, we had a lovely stay and wouldn't change a thing. Our room was cleaned, and towels were changed on a daily basis. The hotel provides beach towels too. The breakfast is really good! Everyone in the hotel is so welcoming, helpful, and always at your service; they made our stay on this lovely island even more memorable. We're definitely choosing this hotel if we visit Dhigurah again.

Our Maldives experience was wonderful! We had a grand water villa with a beautiful terrace, with corals and fishes at 10m going down to the sea from the terrace. The views were magnificent. The hotel spreads on 3 islands (we were on the second one, Dream - very good) with different pools, bars and activity areas, some reserved only to adults which was definitely a plus for when we wanted some peaceful and romantic time. There are plenty of restaurants that you can try (our favorite was the thai place). You need to book in advance but as we were half board and exploring restaurants for lunch and not for diner, we always found a spot while booking the day before through the app. The massage we got was amazing. Food and service at the buffet are of great quality. Water is free and available in all bars and restaurants, which we appreciated a lot (no water bottles floating around). The last island is is only for adults and is like another branch: you need a different app and you can't participate to the sport activities organized there. However, the sport activities organized by Kristina on the main island and dream were great to stay in shape during the holidays. There is an electric bus doing the back and forth between islands (take it from the start or it can be full). The snorkeling experience around the hotel and in the excursions (3 points snorkeling for us) was amazing: colorful fishes, sharks, turtles, rays, etc. The room is very large, comfortable and clean with a formidable room boy called Noor who was always smiling, attentive and preparing some decorations in the room. He was discreet and coming twice a day to the room when convenient for us. To note that when arriving at the airport, you are waiting for the boat in the food court where there are not always space to seat as all hotels use the same approach: after a long trip, this is not the favorite part but we only waited 30 to 45 min to get a boat.

My partner and I had the most incredible holiday at Villa Náutica resort. We stayed for eight nights and enjoyed the most wonderful hospitality from all of the staff at the resort. Sayuru was our host who gave us a warm and friendly welcoming, showing us around the resort and making himself available throughout our stay. I was celebrating my 40th birthday and Sayuru was excellent in ensuring that our room was decorated for my arrival. Sayuru facilitated a beautiful romantic meal on the beach. A wonderful waiter- his name I forget however works in Press and Pot throughout the day- provided us with professional and personal hospitality. Thank you for this. We stayed int he beautiful deluxe beach front villa with private pool and direct access to the gorgeous beach. The hardworking men keeping the beach clean and clear worked tirelessly to ensure that everything was pristine- thank you. Our villa was absolutely gorgeous and was cleaned to the highest standard. The housekeeping team are a credit to Villa Náutica. We spent our last few night in a deluxe one bedroom water villa. It was WOW! Decorated and designed in line with the outstanding setting. We loved the private pool and jacuzzi. The food was excellent. We ate in the main restaurant, The Lagoon and The Hook restaurant. We received the warmest and best service from Bishee, Diksha and Sanum Prit (apologies for spelling of names). Thank you for personalising our stay. You are a credit to the team. We visited the Crow’s Nest bar daily. The young man who works there for the majority of the week was wonderful! He provided friendly and prompt service. We are grateful for his service. All of the team at Villa Náutica are friendly, deliver the best service and take pride in their work and appearance. Thank you for making my stay 40th truly memorable. We will be back.

It was a perfect family vacation thanks to the lovely staff, services, facilities and the island. We appreciated the kindness the Ayada staff showed especially towards our little child. Always gentle and helpful with a smile in their face and no matter if butler, waiter, director, kitchen chef, masseur, transportation staff. The service was always impeccable with regards to our necessities: getting organized a microwave to heat up our child's food, getting food to our room, cleaning up the room, getting some dessert to our room. Our Butler Zak was available 24/7 and very helpful for everything we needed. We even received an upgrade for our stay with a swimming pool and direct access to the beach. When asking why, they said: "Because we love you!" Food quality and variety was good as well as the SPA massage we received. The offering of sport variety was amazing from football to volleyball to tennis and kayak. We especially enjoyed our daily bike tours on the island and the infinite swimming pool with beach view at Zero Degree. The island and its nature had a lot to offer: wonderfull beach, crystal water, baby sharks, crabs, bats. An unforgettable experience we will always keep it in our heart and will regress one day for sure.

Hotel is located on a beautiful island - pretty big and green. Villas are big and clean. Food is great in buffet, I don’t see a need to go to a la carte restaurant (though there are few of them as well). Variety of drinks with all inclusive package is also great, nice beer, wine and good cocktails. Sea life in the house reef is amazing - lots of reef sharks, stingrays, Murray eels and much more. Staff is very friendly.

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!

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 sand bank and bikini beach were beautiful.

The sand bank and bikini beach were beautiful. Nice that US dollars are accepted but annoying that the $ needs to be pristine. Request speed boat for whale shark excursion. Nice variety of restaurants.

Ukulhas has a wonderful house reef next to Bikini beach...

Ukulhas has a wonderful house reef next to Bikini beach which is beautiful and plenty of places to sit in the beach in the sun or shade all day. Great access to snorkeling and other water excursions. Other than that, not much to the island. Walked around the whole island and really sad to see how unkept the public areas are. Other than bikini beach and house reef, not much to do.

The people that work there in the island are very genuine and polite and helpful, always smiling. They make your time there very pleasant. Don’t forget to tip them. Jr and Anastasia from the club house coordinators are amazing and multi talented individuals. Don’t miss their daily sport activities by the pool.
