Family hotels and homes in Machchafushi

The beach was amazing. Our room have direct view of the beach and sea which is so beautiful. Lots of food variations and amazing hospitality from the staff.

Wonderful small hotel, very delicious food, very good clean service, everything was perfect

It is a brand new place (1-2 months old) with amazing staff (extremely friendly and helpful). Clean, bright, and comfortable. In front of the ocean, there are a few restaurants and groceries within a few minutes of walking. Definitely will get back again!

Excellent service, excellent breakfast, very helpful staff, beautifully clean rooms, the location of the hotel was amazing and the whole island is simply TOP! When I go to the Maldives again, only to Dhigurah island and to the Whaleshakbeach hotel!

Excellent location close to the island’s port, with well landscaped garden being the centrepiece of the hotel which also provides privacy as well as a sense of calm looking out the window. The rooms were well decorated and the outdoor shower feature was also remarkable. The restaurant at the hotel run by the two Sri Lankan chefs provided delicious food.

The manager and staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. My room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The added bonus was the international charger, which made it easy to charge my phone and devices. There is also a local shop nearby, and the beach is within a short walk. The manager also assisted with speed boat transfers and was happy to share his knowledge about the island, including the best spots for snorkeling.

very clean place, staff very friendly

The best reception we have ever been to in a hotel! We will remember this place for a long time!

We received a very friendly welcome, the room was sufficiently large and clean. We had the opportunity to choose both the place where we would like to eat and the type of breakfast. You can also buy lunch and dinner at the hotel. The hotel is located in the center of the island on the border between bikini and non-bikini beaches. If you want some of the activities, you can contact the hostess Nilanka for everything, who will take care of everything to make your holiday ideal

Nova This review will be fairly long, as the level of care, professionalism, attention to detail and sheer joy we received is hard to put into a short review. Here’s the TL;DR before the long version: Don’t think twice, book Nova. It’ll be worth every penny, the facilities are top notch and state of the art (barely 2 years old) and the staff is the most amazing in the world. Now, let’s dive in. The experience begins with Ms Zhou at arrivals welcoming you along with the front office team. You’re shown around the island, where you see Wink (the social hub of the island), the state of the art gym, and white sand beaches. The villas are out of this world, spacious, well ACed, and with good access to the water. You don’t spend much time in the room however, because you’ll be eating at Soul Kitchen, where Evi, Bee, Sinhala, Anggi, Manoj and the wok-master himself James prepare you the best meals at restaurant level you can have. Not once do you feel like it’s a buffet, because the quality is so high. At breakfast, make sure to grab a sweet bite from the pastry chef Ms. Bee, or a perfectly cooked each time eggs Benedict from Anggi. At lunch or dinner, be sure to get a live-cooking rice from James, Sinhala or Manoj - the wok hei taste is something that you cannot replicate without their years of experience. Big shout out to Chef James for helping me build up my spice tolerance. The state of the art cooking is supplemented by the attentive staff, who don’t let a day pass by without pampering you. Huge thanks to the entire team, especially Mohammed, Shaee, Jailam, Angunn, Lee, Heidi, Fitri, Kadek and of course Muneeb. When catching the sunset in the Solis Pool Bar, a cocktail from one of Sri Lanka’s best - Sandun - is a must. (Though the first place is closely tied with Krishan from Wink, also Sri Lanka). Sandun makes the perfect cocktails, easily carries the conversation and has insightful comments. Wink - the social hub of the entire island.
