"We’ve stayed at the Kudarah island for 10 night May 2024 and had an outstanding vacation. The personal was so kind, all the food was perfect, the diving options are amazing, plus the beach villa with private front pool was so great. "
"We had a wonderful time @Whaleshark beach hotel. We felt very welcome and safe. Good location right in a middle of the village, close to the beach and shops. Strong wifi, good restaurant and possibility to book a tour. Special thanks to the friendly staff! "
"My friend and I had a very nice time during our stay at Endheri Sunset guest house. The staff were friendly and charming. The island was mostly very beautiful. The food plan we had while fairly basic, was mostly filling, tasty, and good. The diving was generally very good, and our guide Eaman was very professional. The snorkelling was good too although some of the surrounding reef was a bit sparse or dead in parts, I still spotted octopus, rays, small reef sharks etc. Just one word of caution,...
"Nice property, close to everywhere, just a few minutes walk from bikini beach. Polite and friendly helpful people. Good kitchen. I would book it again."

"We had the most incredible stay at Dive and Sleep Guest House during our diving holiday in early April. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place is something special. The guest house is brand new, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated with a modern yet cozy touch. Our room was spacious and cozy, and in excellent condition – everything felt fresh and thoughtfully designed.
What truly set this place apart, though, was the service. It was beyond anything we could have hoped for....
"Lux* South Ari is a great choice for a vacation in the Maldives. The island is beautiful, great facilities, excellent service. I’d definitely recommend the all inclusive option (def worth the money and offers many options). They offer many activities and the spa is fantastic. The Lux Cafe is also a great touch. I’ve tried both the beach villas and the over water villas and you def can’t go wrong with either. "
"Wonderful location, great facilities, fantastic house reef, close to manta ray and whale shark areas, very good service from waiters and bar staff, and lovely food"
"This is a very nice place for the area. Staff way very helpful, and arranged or incoming and out going transfers, also the dives. But a must was the scooter to drive to the sandbar, trust me it can be walked but u will not enjoy it was much vs taking the very inexpensive scooter the hotel can arrange "
"Banyan Villa is a wonderful place to stay! I really enjoyed my time there and the very homey feel of the villa. The staff, especially Husnee, Ashraf and Habib are all so incredibly friendly, accomodating and I can't thank them enough for their hospitality. The villa was very clean, the food was wonderful, very healthy and so fresh. Thank you to all the staff at Banyan Villa for making our stay in Dhangethi so wonderful and memorable! We will definitely be back! "
"Staff went over and beyond to make sure everything was good but to a point where it felt overboard. Room doors didn't shut properly and a lot of bugs were in the room, continually killing large ants that crawled on everything including in bed. "

"Our holiday was nothing short of amazing! The rooms were comfortable, with AC and a mini fridge replenished daily. Housekeeping was impeccable, and stepping outside led directly to the beach. Safety was a priority, with life jackets for the whole family.
Snorkelling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were available at the Best Dive kiosk, with helpful and knowledgeable staff. We took a sunset boat tour and saw hundreds of dolphins—truly unforgettable! Joe and Alex made scuba diving an excellent experience, guiding my husband step by step.
Beyond the sea and infinity pool, there was plenty to do: a well-equipped gym, tennis court, and a games room with pool, darts, ping pong, PlayStation, and air hockey. The spa was the perfect place to unwind—Pin’s full-body massage was bliss! The island shop stocked essentials like sunglasses and sunscreen.
To keep mosquitoes at bay, the island was sprayed daily, though bringing insect repellent is wise. Dining was spectacular, with three restaurants: The Reef (buffet), Mare Azzurro (Italian, booking needed), and Suan Buan (Thai, booking needed). The staff were outstanding—Kal ensured my son got his burger, and May, June, Vivek, Sunny, and Habib provided top-notch service.
Refreshing drinks by the pool added to the experience—Siva and Ajith made dreamy caipirinhas and perfect milkshakes! The kids' club was a hit, with creative and sporty activities led by Yummi and Naba. Our time here was unforgettable, and we can't wait to return!"
"Modern, beautiful property designed with intention for detail. Located in a quiet, yet central area. Outstanding breakfast and solid dinner/lunch options, on par with the best restaurants on the island. Stellar staff that provide great service throughout. Laundry service, bike/scooter rental & snorkling gear is available aswell. Hotel also arranged transfers and trips including drop off and pickup from the Harbor. Rooms were always perfectly clean.
Only complaint we had during our entire stay, was the absolutely awful dessert in the restaurant, but if you stay away from that you will have the best possible stay on Dhigurah."
"What a lovely guesthouse in Dhigurah. We spent 6 nights here and tbh we could stay here forever. Felt right at home from the start. Haseef and his crew were so friendly and Abel to organise trips and rides for us. I enjoyed the traditional Maldivian brekkie but only had it once because my wife don't eat eggs or tuna so we tended to have coffee and biscuits in the room.
The area is very safe, it's close to the local Mosque so you will hear the prayers daily but we didn't mind that as it's part of their culture and we found it quite grounding.
The guesthouse is in the village part so lots of locals living around you but everyone just goes on about their own business anyway. The room was always clean and although simple ie no TV, we didn't mind as spent more time either on the beach (2 mins walk right as you leave the guesthouse), on excursions or asleep.
Highly recommend this place and absolutely would love to come.back. Maldivians are extremely laid-back so don't expect lots of contact beforehand to arrange transfers, I have OCD and must of sent a dozen emails and text messages lol."
"Beautiful place and great service. Food is great. Walkable to sand bar. Otherwise take taxi. The hotel can arrange for this. Affordable fishing activity. "
"My vacation was very enjoyable thanks to the wonderful staff that always accommodate to us, especially Raju who always went out of his way for us. Thank you also to Go Divers for the great excursions. I highly recommend them if you plan to snorkeling in the best spots and see the best of Maldives. "
