Where to stay in Male

One of the most beautiful islands of Maldives operated as a private island luxury resort, Loved every bit of the island, The island as a natural island has its natural habitat well maintained for the last couple of decades operating as a private resort

Excellent 👍

5 star small hotel, 5 restaurants, 2 bars, corrals with beautiful fish near the shore, children can swim shallowly near the shore, the territory is green, only 20 minutes by boat from the airport, very convenient if you come for a short time.

Not too many words needed to describe this island. Simply paradaise. Look at pictures. They speak for themselves.

Love the water villas, would be better if there was a private pool in it. The staffs are professional and friendly. There are about 4-5 restaurants + 1 bar. Most of them don't serve you superb food even though the prices are expensive. Love the breakfast food at the main restaurant though. They have this "professional" photographer as well if you wanna take some photos. (Paid the $600 package) Dissapointed...

The is a 5 star resort, tagged as one of the small luxury hotels of the world. It is located on it's own island in maldives with very beautiful shades of clear blue water that will mesmerise you, especially when the sun is out. The reception here is magnificent and you'll definitely enjoy your stay.

They have a lovely poolside bar. This is the only place that serves alcohol in the Male/Hulhumale Islands. They have fresh seafood and a range of great snacks! Very close to the airport and they offer free airport transfers. This is a good business hotel, and also a great place to spend some time after you arrive in Male or before you catch your flight home.

It's a beach front hotel for people in transit or on a low budget and want beach front. Helpful staff. Small hotels next door are similar and have small restaurant settings. Good food to be found. Keep expectations low and be happy. Area is under construction!

It's a lovely hotel except that the rooms are a bit old and the service is very slow. I found the staff very kind and helpful however the service is always slow. The beach at the hotel is so nice and a great place to be.. the ambience and the vibes are so positive and lovely. Pool was nice too, walking distance from the airport also.. nice place to spend a day or two or for transits.

The hotel is nearby the airport, however this place is fine if you've missed your flight or you have to catch a flight within few hours. It is not a vacation place to be. Knowing you're in Maldives I am sure you wanna see some more beautiful islands and places and there is plenty of them around. The hotel has a small beach and swimming pool at the corner of the hotel, there is as well a gym just beside...

Great place to relax at Airport if you have a late flight. Selective range of food with different cuisine.

Nice hotel, right next to the airport. Champs is a nice place to get a drink when you are staying in Malé OR Hulhumalé. The only downside for me is that you have to get either a ferry (from Malé) or an airport bus/taxi (from Hulhumalé) to actually get there.

We have used more than one hotel near the airport we had a room with a good view of the sea ,friendly staff and a good atmosphere marked it down on clenliness and the bathroom was a little tired

Well no sleepers available for bathroom. Rest is fine.

One of the best hotel/guest houses in Hulhumale. Not to mention it’s restaurant, The Cafe Lyre with awesome food there.

Decent guest house with good amenities, facing the splendid Maldivian beach. 5mins drive from international airport.

Comfortable overnight stay close to Mahé airport. Breakfast is a very frugal affair, toast, roti, canned tuna with onion and a canned corn/chickpea medley oh and some sweet cake thing...but overall perfectly adequate if you arrive too late for a transfer to the islands.

When we arrived after booking with Zen we found the hotel was booked out. The friend helpful staff were able to find a room for us just around the corner. If not for them we would of been stuck. Why did your system allow us to book when it was booked out?

It is good hotel ,very near to beach

We Feel Like A Family Atmosphere Here I met here Mr Imran, Zaheer And sadiq All are friendly and very Co operative Hotel Reception Counter is Superb they help us every time with wht possible things we require I suggest people's who planning to come Hulumale, should try one night atleast here

Excellent room and location, service was really nice. I would have given 5 star if the food was good and tasteful.

On 2019, i stayed at this hotel with family. Small apartment hotel, but it's value for money. Complementary break fast is average. Only few hotel staffs are available, even though they are well mannered helping characters. North Indian restaurants are available little far from this hotel. Hotel manager is organized our trip to city tour and Kani resort, prestige vedo etc, charged reasonable money...

Clean and comfy. Insolation not so good, u hear the noise from outside. Shower is not separated from toilet. Breakfast is poor. No Elevator, but they help u with the luggage. No soap in the bath room. It’s good for a very short stay

Beautiful rooftop terrace room overlooking the ocean. Wifi was brilliant, room was spacious and included a smart tv and they have room service with food delivered from the cafe downstairs too. Loved the place, service and staff, would highly recommend.

The staff very attentive and generous, the room comfy and clean, next to the beach even tho you don’t book for the sea view still they have beautiful balcony with sunrise in the morning, family room is huge , totally recommended.

Overall it was a decent experience. Staff was helpful, well maintained and clean rooms. Had some issues related to payment by credit card. Same was sorted later but the payment process was a not-so-good experience.

An excellent place with amazing staff. The hotel crew was amazing for any inquiry or request. The plance was value for money and is highly recommended. The transport arranged was so well and on time. Breakfast was good and fresh. Special thanks to Sohail who helped us for arranging the activities and other requests. Will surely visit again.

Nice room and staff is really cooperative and helpful..

Very good hotel and very good service Thanks to Anto, Sento, Suja and Hassan you are the best guys.

Very good hotel and very good service Thanks to Anto, Sento, Suja and Hassan you are the best guys.

It was the best experience. Good food. Staff behaviour was good. The sea view from hotel was awesome. Thank you!!

Best and affordable near hulumhale beach. 100% recommend this hotel.

The hotel is very well located, just in front of the beach. The staff is very welcoming, attentive but sometimes very intrusive when entering the room. The room was functional with a shower that worked properly but the condition was not very new. The view from the room is not nice because we had seen on waste on a roof. I recommend this hotel to discover Malé and thank you again to the staff to...

Decent for its price! Would go again!

Located right next to Hulhumale beach, it is pretty close to all places. There are good restaurants nearby. However, the rooms were poor for the price we paid. Fan knobs were broken. Toilet seat moved a lot (since it was Chinese, didn't last long).

Convenient place to stay while in Hulumale for a night, max two. The location is great and view of the beach is great if you're in the honeymoon suite. We stayed 2 nights at this property in two different categories of rooms. The staff too is absolutely friendly and accommodating. Due to limited availability of rooms, the first night we booked the deluxe room which was just decent in size. The room...

The staff at lonuveli were so kind to upgrade us to a seaview room, it was lovely to wake up to the view of the beautiful Hulemalle beach. The transfer to and from airport was seamless, we were warmly received by the hotel manager and waited a short while for the rest. The transfer to airport was coordinated so well by the hotel with our resort, and we were sent promptly for our domestic flight in...

Warm service here. Foods are good. A tiny hotel.

3 star hotel but had 5 star service. Small hotel run by a local Maldivian family. Booked the day prior and had a representative meet us at the arrivals area and escorted us to the ferry. A driver picked us up and transported us to the hotel, same thing on the return. The rooms were clean and pretty good size for Male. Breakfast was free along with transportation. 15-20 minute walk to both ferry terminals...

Excellent service, really surprised to receive a call from the hotel manager regarding our flight details, and the meet and greet service was excellent , we felt really very comfortable in staying in OCTAVE. The ambiance of the room was cosy and comfortable , with good food in the restaurant. Just a professional service with utmost care and trustworthy hotel to stay.

This is a good 4 star property with all inclusive packages. You will love the beach and the water bungalows. Even the standard Vilas were quite comfortable. Experiment with the snorkeling, while be careful of the sharks.

4 Star Property.. Very Good Friendly Staff... Much Surprises from the Resorts. Honeymoon Special Surprises. Loved the Resort 😍⛵

Water villas are the best. Also the buffet is delicious with many options to choose from. The room service and overall cleanliness in the resort is also commendable.

We had a four stay at the hotel. The ambience of the beach and water bungalow was amazing. The food was widespread with all sorts of delicious sea food. We enjoyed snorkelling and delicious candle light dinner near the sea. The staff was polite and helpful. Special thanks to Roshan sir, who was very polite and always helpful and managing the resort well. Overall a great experience! A must visit!

Everything was perfect.... Helpful and courteous staff... Spacious beach facing rooms... Water bungalow with panoramic ocean view... Wide variety of food.. Only thing bothering was Bangladeshi porters.. they keep on asking for tips.. But overall wonderful experience..

Blue and crystal clear water, calm environment with strong vibes of happiness. If you love the beauty of the mother nature, I'm sure you'll love Adaran Club Rannalhi

Everything about Baros and their staff is world class. After traveling half was across the world, we did not want to hop on another plane (sea plane) and be at the mercy of the weather to ensure we could reach our resort. So, we searched for the best resort within speedboat distance. We came across Baros because of the availability of speedboat transfer, excellent food, and above water lodging....

Visited Baros with my husband for our honeymoon 💕 A small, serene beautiful island. The food is beyond amazing, the staff always help and spread smiles, and the spa is perfect! I'd love to visit again Special thanks to our host, Sita 😍

Top notch everything. A true 5 star resort. Several thoughtful amenities throughout the island and within the rooms. There are three restaurants, all have excellent food. The snorkel gear is complimentary. The entire staff is exceptionally nice. We stayed in an over-water villa for a week. The only downside is the prices make the Four Seasons seems like a bargain.

Stayed for 4 nights and my experience was outstanding. Friendly staff and excellent food with great privacy. Highly recommend this place!

Good food. Great diving center. Great house reef for snorkeling and diving. Comfy villas. Beautiful little island with wonderful vegetation. No mosquito (at least now in August). A little expensive, sure, but it's a true 5* unlike many others in Maldives.

I've stayed in Baros for 7 nights and my whole experience was great. The place is a paradise! Foods are great. The staffs are so nice, so friendly and so attentive. They always make sure to give you the best service.I wouldn't want to leave when it was about time to leave. But I promised to myself that I will come back again. And I can't wait to be back. 🙏

We had a wonderful 5 nights stay in a villa with prime sunset view.The room has all you need and a pool and jacuzzi.Although the weather was not great,the location, staff and Maldivian hospitality made it a perfect holiday.The room was cleaned twice daily by Khaleel, which did a great job!Dana from the reception made us feel welcome and always attended our request with a smile.Food selection could...

Awesome resort with great hospitality. Loved it

Had a quick trip again and had a good time. Thank you for the great hospitality.

Amazing vacation and honey moon we had at Banyan Tree Island. The stuff are so kind and supportive. The rooms are so calm and lovely. The beach was very romantic. The food service and quality is very delicious specially the sea food. Finally are the activities and massage services are very interesting and make it more special in the island. Definitely would visit them again Wish them best of luck...

Beautiful island with excellent service, amazing place to escape and relax

You’ll find paradise here – catching the sea breeze as you wake up in the morning, snorkeling over coral and marine life just steps away from your private villa entrance, luxuriating in the comfort of your elegant five-star Maldives beach villa or a luxury Maldives spa, and marvelling at the beautiful Maldives sunset and magnificent splash of stars in the night. On top of that, enjoy complimentary...

Amazing small island resort with 45 private villas, all with a Beachfront ocean view. The villas in the 40-range are west facing offering the best sunsets. Island has a reef with plenty of wildlife; octopus, sharks, and more fish than one could count. Staff is multinational and amazing. No cash necessary on the island, but you will want to tip. Marine center loans snorkels, fins and life jackets, offers...

Amazing Resort! I enjoyed 4 nights of my life here. If you’ve come this far, to step outside your room and have the beach there is amazing. The food was delicious. When you choose fishing as an activity you get to eat the fish for dinner that night. My only complaint is my shower had a bit of mold on it but I believe it was because it’s an outside shower. A power washer could’ve solved it but I didn...

The medium cooked tuna steak was fantastic.

Sister island of Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru... Another piece of Paradise

Excellent staff. Nice, spatious rooms. Food is mostly good. When the weather isn't good just be aware that activities are very limited so you have to be able to just relax.

It's beautiful like heaven to me.

Very good Hotel! Nice Staff, Food was very good and altogether the experience of my life!

I’ve been to many places all over the world especially to many hotels in the Maldives but I liked this one that much that I would go back there for sure! The staff, the service, the food and the atmosphere are excellent so I haven’t got something to complain about. There are many interesting and varied activities also the reef around the villas is great. I want to thank to all the stuff for the amazing...

This place was paradise, luxury and perfection. The free bikes was a very comfortable and fun enjoyment. The food was super and from many different kitchens. Also should mention the awesome massage and live band.

Very nice place Stuff are amazing Food and service is excellent

Perfection in every way. Among the best accommodation in the Maldives, close to Male, superb service, wonderful wines and fabulous food. Truly the jewel in the crown of the Maldives and the perfect destination for travellers looking for relaxation and luxury. Especially well suited for families.

My wife and I spent 5 days of our vacation here in July 2021. Everything about the experience, from the private transportation to the island, the huge overwater villa with a slide, the fantastic restaurants using the freshest ingredients, to the personal butler and dedicated server, our trip was top notch. We both agreed it was the highest level of service we had ever experienced.

This is an amazing property.

Amazing experience, outstanding boutique hotel We have visited again COMO Cocoa Island, first was in 2010 and now again with our two kids (11 and 7 years old) this time, experience has been equally excellent or even a bit better. Everything in this hotel is superb, rooms, island, reef and snorkelling, spa (como shambala treatments are heaven on earth), restaurant and above all, the service,...

Best small Resort with excellent Service!

Dry facts, without emotions and water. The island is small, one restaurant and one bar. Spa, swimming pool with hydromassage. A couple of swings, a hammock. Gym, yoga room. Swimming pool on the beach with fresh water. Free canoe rental. A small store with souvenirs, clothes and cosmetics. 34 villas in total. From Male it takes about 45 minutes by boat. In the distance, other islands are visible on...

One of the most beautiful place in the world ,its a paradise on Earth!!Is a must of the bucket list of every traveler!! Como Cocoa hotel in Maldives is one of the best resort i have ever been! I had traveled to many places before but nothing can compare to this naturally amazing place!! The SERVICE was EXCELLENT and everyone was very helpful!! I decided to proposed there to my girlfriend and...

Luxury without pretentious attitude. Beautiful memory inducing atmosphere.

This 5-star property definitely deserve 5-Star rating. Amazing place for honeymoon. Lovely staff, wonderful views. They have DJ night with complementary drinks and snacks on every Thursday. Indian food is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Such a peaceful place for relaxing.

It was truly a memorable stay at Adaaran Prestige Vadoo. Very calm and beautiful. A real paradise, I still recall all the moments and yes will going to memorize all the time in my life 😀 We had booked sunrise villa and the view from the villa is truly mesmerizing. I'll remember each and every moments what I had spent in that island. Food, cleanliness and staffs are really good and friendly out there...

Amazing resort to visit. Fantastic ambience with all 5 star facilities. Only problem I faced is with their Wifi, speed is too low. For Social activities it will be a big barrier. Other than that everything is perfectly superb👌👌🥰

This resort is absolutely beautiful and very well kept. Snorkeling here is unquestionably among the very best in the world. The food was fantastic, at all meals. The chef introduced himself and greeted us multiple times over the course of our stay to ensure we were enjoying our meal and asked if there was anything he could do to make the food even better. The butler and room attendant we both absolutely...

The island is very small and very beautiful. There are basically no rooms on the island itself, just water bungalows going from the island into the ocean. You can’t do that much on the island itself. Swimming in the ocean or in the pool (they just have one). You can do water sports (high cost), chill at the cafes or bars (they have just 2), have massages or you can eat at the restaurants. They have...

It was a lovely 5 day stay at the resort. We found the staff courteous and helpful at all points. They tried building a rapport with each and every guest and stay became mostly like home away from home. The room and the amenities were awesome and the structuring of the cottages were also thoughtful. We did scuba and went for spa and massage too which was an awesome experience. They also have a Japanese...

Words fail me. Had visited for an event and the hotel staff bent backwards to make the entire event a grand success. Definitely a benchmark for future. Besides the beauty of the island, the exotic birds, the sea life the humans (Taj team) make it worth your while.

Apt place for a perfect vacation..It provides perfect equipment and training for all water sports..The location, luxurious villas and the mind blowing food makes this trip completely worth it..☺️😁

Our trip to Maldives was a nature escape and we thank Taj Exotica for making the stay memorable. It truly exceeded our expectations. The view from our water villa was absolutely spectacular. We could see those breathtaking infinite ocean views for hours and never get bored. We could walk on the sand pathway under the jungle canopy for hours without getting tired. We captured as many memories as we...

Taj Exotica Resort & Spa Maldives is one of the most picturesque hotel in Maldives. The lagoon villas have some of the best views of the ocean. The overall experience at the resort is simply outstanding.

The accommodation is decent/good but the complete experience was subpar. The water is charged in restaurant during meals even though meals are inclusive in package. Charge for water when I have paid for the meal already is beyond fathomable! Food is okay-okay at best. Very very limited options during lunch buffet. Absolute 0 non-veg appetizers on all days of stay. The buggy service takes too much time...

Good hotel for day or two

Very delicious food

They have good rooms but make sure you ask and get it good rooms, breakfast and dinner was good, lunch I didn't get time to try

I got a very pleasant experience. My expectations were low as the stay was quite cheap. The staff made this stay great. In particular the cleaning manager Aphra went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. If you want resort-like service and quality, just book a resort. Beehive offers very good value for money. Breakfast selection is much better than other restaurants. The location is good as...

I stayed at The Beehive for 2 nights on a business trip, and the price was very reasonable and I would totally say you get your moneys worth. However I would have prefered to be on Room Only basis, sadly they offer from Bed & Breakfast onwards. The food was good and well prepared so I guess I will let the breakfast thing slip. Although the cafe'/restaurant is a bit crammed, the rooms were very spacious...

It’s one of the nice hotels in Male. Rooms are bigger compared to other hotels. Pricing is reasonable. Has a decent breakfast, although it is almost same everyday. Staff friendly and nice.

Stayed at Hotel Jen for 4 nights, had buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner here every night food was fantastic every time. Buffet breakfast was real highlight with my personal favourite the local Maldivian tuna dish they serve for breakfast, also must try the seared tuna on the dinner menu very tasty. All the staff in the roof top restaurant Azure were super friendly and helpful with menu items and service...

Excellent short stay. Would definitely come back and stay longer. Rooms were well appointed, comfortable, and air conditioning worked great. restaurant very good. Transfers to/from airport seamless.

Jen hotel Maldives by Shangri-La has grabbed attention of locals .its scenic atmosphere has played a immaculate role in attracting people of all interests. The staffs are noticeably, friendly, clean and professional in their assistance. I would highly recommend Jen Hotel Male' to anyone who would like to rest themselves before they embark a long journey. The meals are mouthwatering with reasonable...

It was an amazing trip and the best hotel with the best services.. The staff and the management was very kind and caring.. Would recommend to stay there.. They have all the amazing services.. We really enjoyed the trip.. 😊❤

Awesome hotel with good breakfast.... but other food is not that much good....... rooftop swimming pool is best floor to visit....

Perfect dinner date place in capital. Live music is so soothing to listen while enjoying the bbq buffet dinner

For us embudu will always synonym to magic, yes that's the effect u will have after visiting this place. An affordable stay with 3 times buffet food when u r all board and with crystal clear beach and best reefs and also the water life we can see. The chef's always knows ur heart. U will have veg and non veg choices along with delicious delicacy.The management and staff are in their best to serve the...

I was very pleased that I was able to eat really tasty, and sometimes unusual food, while staying predominantly plant based, big win. There are more than enough meat choices as well. The accommodation is clean and very comfortable with a good amount of complimentary drinking water and coffee and tea. The staff are fantastic. The reef is brilliant and conveniently and easily accessible with some lovely...

I liked the hotel very much, there is wifi. Green area of ​​the hotel, you can walk barefoot everywhere. Great room. The food in the restaurant is very tasty and varied. Excellent dive center. We liked everything 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Amazing resort with great hospitality..!!

There are still such places.

The hotel is clean and comfortable, the food in the restaurant is good, and the staff are very professional, helpful and pleasant. We would stay again for sure.

Somerset has the feeling of thought being put into everything they do. The ambience is unique and it doesn't stop at the reception, the rooms and even the hallways have the same homely vibe with wooden decor and furniture emphasized by the light coloured walls and floor. TV, coffee machine and other amenities are topped off by the excellent service provided by the staff, who are friendly and accommodating...

Excellent customer service from the general manager himself down. Clean and spacious rooms with all the amenities provided. Small lobby but it serves the purpose well. Covid protocols very well observed in the premises. Absolute privacy inside the room as there is no disturbance from the corridors.

The location is best if you want to remain on the main island close to airport. The staff are friendly and very prompt. I loved their service. I enjoyed ordering in a variety of food from their restaurant during my stay and I must say nothing disappointed me. It was delicious. I did feel the rooms are a little cramped up and the view from my room was next building up close with pigeons all around....

We stayed at this hotel as a last minute resolution to missing our Trans Maldivian flight to our resort. Given the stress we were under the staff were still very helpful, kind and understanding. We ordered room service and the food was excellent. The room was spacious and clean. And the next morning we had a very early check-out and the hotel organized us a to-go breakfast, with everything from juice...

It was a wonderful visit, the hotel is great, the staff are friendly and nice, highly recommend :)
