Facing the beachfront, Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives - Free One-Way Speedboat and 02 Kids Under 12 Stay & Dine Free offers 5-star accommodations in Keyodhoo and has a restaurant, bar and shared lounge. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a kids club and free WiFi. The hotel features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, evening entertainment and a 24-hour front desk. The breakfast service as well as the dinner service was exceptional. the staff were super friendly and accommodating. The selection of dishes was great as well with something for everyone's palette. The bar area during afternoon and at night after dinner was great fun. we had live music a few nights with a local band which was great. Loved the experience. I highly recommend getting the all inclusive package like we did otherwise it gets quite pricey as some of the guest staying during our stay found out.

Located on the largest island in Dhaalu Atoll, Kandima Maldives offers an abundance of water-sports, the largest beach club and tennis and Volleyball courts. It offers a marine biology centre, an art studio and cooking classes. The staff are really great and try everything to make the stay prefect, they are professional and always smiling and willing to help. The aqua villa is really beautiful, you have the nicest views even from your bathroom. You feel in the middle of the ocean and you see so many multicolored fish within meters from the villa. We have even saw a sea turtle and baby sharks from the villa. It is really private, you feel like you are the only one in there. The food is delicious, it is nice that there are several restaurants and different cuisine themes per night. you are always immerced with a breach view under the palm trees. The accompaniment of the Kandima team that starts in Malé airport all along until you leave Maldives is impressive. At each step of the way someone is waiting for you with a Kandima sign, ready to make your experience worryless, we really appreciated it. I would definetely recommend Kandima as a great resort for a gateway, whether you are a couple or a family with toddlers. Honeymoon package is really nice and we enjoyed every bit of it

Featuring a shared lounge, Rushkokaa Beach Villa offers accommodation in Fulidhoo. Situated on the beachfront, this property has a private beach area, a garden, a terrace and free WiFi. The accommodation features full-day security, luggage storage space and currency exchange for guests. Gorgeous villa! Amazing food and experiences. Am so thankful and feel lucky to stay here. My partner and I are so appreciative of the hospitality. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 people on our excursions, which have been life changing to say the least. Our only regret is that we didn’t sign up for lunch as well. Breakfast and dinner was great. We were always kept hydrated and left with full bellies every time. It’s as close as you can get to bikini beach on the island and there is a stunning private beach area that is shaded that you can relax in also. I really hope we can come back and stay one day 🐬🏝️

At the hotel, rooms include a wardrobe. Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet and free toiletries, some rooms at Cowry Inn also boast a city view. The rooms at the accommodation have air conditioning and a desk. It was exceptionally clean with very little sand on the floor for a beach place. The owner is very friendly and kind as well as the other staff. They picked us up at the pier when it was pouring and helped carrying our luggage back to the inn. The breakfast was good with options to choose from. They often help showing you places to visit on the island. They also offer tours with great destinations and good price. They also clean the room everyday which was a huge plus. Beach hotels usually get sand in the room.

Facing the beachfront, Tranquil Nest Vaavu offers 3-star accommodation in Rakeedhoo and has a garden, private beach area and shared lounge. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, room service and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation features entertainment staff and a concierge service. The location was simply perfect—right in front of the ocean. For its stunning setting, warm hospitality, and great value for money, I’d give Tranquil Nest Vaavu 11/10. True to its name, this place truly delivers tranquility at a budget-friendly price. The property sits right on the beach, with plenty of areas to swim and snorkel comfortably. At certain times of the day, you can even spot stingrays and other ocean creatures while swimming or just standing on shore. My room was spacious, complete with a veranda overlooking the blue waters. I even got to fly my drone during my stay, and the island itself had a quiet yet welcoming Maldivian community that made the experience even more special. At certain times of the day, you can even see some stingray and other ocean creatures while swimming or while on shore. Wi-Fi was available and generally stable within the premises, which was convenient for coworking. The signal was weaker once outside the restaurant area, but overall it worked fine. The property also offered several tours and activities that could be arranged in advance with the staff. One tip: don’t attempt to arrange transfers on your own. Another guest had to endure a 7-hour shared boat ride with multiple stops, while in my case the staff secured a direct speedboat transfer via ProJets Ferry Service, which was smooth and on time. What truly made my stay unforgettable, though, was the hospitality of the staff. Special thanks to Hattu, based in Malé, who made sure my transfer went seamlessly, and to Acho/Shifan, who was always ready to help with anything I needed. From providing a plug converter and extra batteries to even stepping in with his own drone when mine malfunctioned—he went above and beyond, capturing amazing aerial shots and videos of my Bodumohora beach tour and island stay that I’ll treasure.
