The guesthouse property is new and clean, with comfortable bed and cozy vibe of dining area. The location is close to foreigner beach (bikini beach) and grocery store. And also a secret spot for Manta seeing. Breakfast is provided, you can also order lunch and dinner and dine right after your back from relaxing on beach, all home made food. The activities are optional and I took reef and shark snorkeling, totally fun and wonderful. With professional GoPro filming to record my wonderful underwater journey! The sandbank visit is also calming to enjoy the wave sounds on the white sand. Riyas has warm contacted me before my arrival and picked me up from the port. There is no much schedule to plan in advance, everything is so chill in Gaafaru. Highly recommended this place in Maldives!

An Unforgettable Stay at a Stunning Maldives Island Resort What an incredible resort! Just 4 years old, this island retreat in the Maldives felt fresh, modern, and beautifully designed — exactly what we were looking for. Every space, from the villas and rooms to the restaurants, bars, and spa, was aesthetically stunning and meticulously maintained. The entire property was spotless, with regular cleaning that really stood out. We opted for the premium all-inclusive package, which was absolutely worth it. The mini bar was fully stocked and restocked daily, all drinks were included, and the food was both varied and consistently high quality. One of the highlights was the beautiful house reef, which my husband loved exploring. The location is also perfect — just 15 minutes by seaplane and a quick 45-minute speedboat ride, offering flexibility to reach Malé for international departures. The resort staff were exceptional, and the overall vibe was relaxed, welcoming, and luxurious. Our host Sonam was super nice and always very responsive so big thanks to her! The honeymoon package came with lovely extras like a sunset boat trip, a complimentary massage, and even a mini photoshoot — thoughtful touches that made our stay even more memorable all booked and arranged by her! We had initially been concerned that the island might feel too small, but after the intensity of our wedding, it was exactly what we needed. The compact size made everything feel accessible without being overwhelming — especially appreciated in the humid weather. Walking from our villa to the restaurant was just the right amount of movement. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Extremely happy, warm staff, like my family, shasu was very nice and helpful, the manager also, since we did an overnight trip, they offered a day use villa to have a rest and sleep until our room is ready. The speedboat transfer and airport greeting was excellent, not like other islands resorts, you don't wait for hours until the boat is full, they pick you up straight away to the island.

I very seldom write reviews, but I am beyond IMPRESSED with this resort! The food was excellent from taste to presentation! The rooms and views were both breathtaking! Our daughters and granddaughter had the over the water villa with private pool. My husband and I had the over the water honeymoon suite celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Our children coordinated with the staff to perform an unforgettable vow renewal. The activities were amazing! We attempted to book for another visit before this visit was even complete. I can think of nothing I would change about this resort. Zikko, our private butler for the honeymoon suite was very attentive, as was the entire staff. Everyone was so very accommodating always making sure my family and I had what we needed. The family and I are still in awe of the time spent there!

    Niru Isles is a lovely guesthouse, ideal for families. Gaafaru is a very chilled small island, with a beautiful bikini beach (though all the coral is dead :(). So in a nutshell: great hotel, although if you are like me very sensitive to noise, tell the manager early on, as with the families, he might have to adjust the rooms etc. M. Hashan is very nice, and in general people on Gaafaru are very amenable with tourists.
