Hotels near Male

From the very first moment, we arrived at the airport and met the Kandolhu team until our departure. Every detail of our stay was flawlessly orchestrated to create an exceptional experience. Though we stayed for only three nights, the warmth, professionalism, and excellence of the team made it truly unforgettable. Location: The journey itself is part of the magic—just a 20-minute scenic seaplane flight followed by a short 5-10 minute boat ride that transports you to this paradise. The Island: Small, serene, and breathtakingly beautiful, Kandolhu is the epitome of a private island retreat. The Resort: Thoughtfully designed with just 30 villas, the property balances exclusivity and comfort. It offers five outstanding restaurants, a stylish bar, a well-equipped gym, a serene spa, and a sea activities center—ensuring that every guest finds their own perfect way to unwind. Our Villa: We chose an overwater villa, and it exceeded all expectations. With a private pool and direct sea access, it provided the perfect blend of luxury and tranquillity. Staff & Service: The essence of true hospitality is mastered here. The team anticipated our needs before we even realized them, creating a seamless, highly personalized experience. Their warmth and attention to detail set a new benchmark for excellence. Dining: A standing ovation to the executive chef, sous-chefs, and the entire culinary team. The food was fresh, inventive, and packed with flavour. With five distinct restaurants—offering Mexican-Peruvian, Mediterranean, Japanese, Sea Grill, and an all-day dining option—every meal was a delightful journey of taste. Spa: We had the 'couple ritual'. A sanctuary of relaxation, the spa at Kandolhu offers a truly rejuvenating experience. With expert therapists, soothing treatments, and a tranquil setting, every session feels like a retreat within a retreat—perfect for unwinding and embracing the island’s serenity. Housekeeping: Impeccable.

I like the location in the center..near to the rooms and also to the see

Beautiful hotel at the beach on a calm local island. Staff are incredible nice and there is variety of tours available, so there is no chance to get bored. Snorkeling with mantas, turtles, fishing...you can do anything. SUP rental was available too and it was great to paddle around. Akeyz is very attentive and ready to help. There is a roof top restaurant and they also serve delicious coffee. Thank you for beautiful memories :-)

Love the authentic, cozy guesthouse and the island was fantastic. Beautiful bikini beach with many fishes on the reef. Thank you very much!

It was a pleasure staying at this brand new guest house , which is on a beautiful and clean island in the middle of the Indian ocean with a beautiful beach and perfect place for swimming and snorkeling, especially for kids ( daughter 9 and son 2 years old). Ayira is a nice guesthouse with excellent Maldivian hospitality and service. They offer tasty fruits, fresh juice and coffee whenever you want. Breakfast is great and you can choose: Maldivian or continental. Also the dinner is very good and reasonably priced. Overall the experience was brilliant and we enjoyed our weekend getaway a lot. We will definitely stay there again. Additionally want to thank personally owner Mr Amjad Majdee and all his stuff, you were amazing! 💛🏝️☀️ Thank you! Dana

Ferithoo itself is already a very special island, kind people, looks well organized, and than the stay at Escapism was really nice , good restaurant just the other site of the street. Special thanks goes to Toni who really takes care every think is in order and cares about each and every guest

The property was amazing. Every meal was delicious. The staff were incredible and very attentive to our entire needs. We would especially like to thank Haris and the guys working at the bar who made our stay extra special. We had the most special vacation that was truly the trip of a lifetime.

🌴 Review of the Maldives! 🌊🐠✈️🌍 I want to share with you my impressions of my holiday in the Maldives. I chose a small island with locals and several cozy hotels, and I can say that it was just unforgettable! That's why: 🌞 Climate: The weather was just perfect! Windy and not too hot, especially when compared to Dubai. My skin enjoyed a light breeze and the water temperature was just perfect for swimming. 💦 Water color: Words can't describe how beautiful the colors of the local water are! This is something incredible and indescribable. I always wanted to swim in this wonderful ocean. 🐠 Underwater World: It's amazing that even without going far from the shore with a mask and snorkel, you find yourself in a real aquarium. I personally saw more than 15 species of fish! I was especially struck by stingrays and small sharks. And I also saw a fish with what seemed to be puffed up lips. It was an amazing sight! 🌅 Sunsets: Simply gorgeous! When I sat and watched them, I just wanted to silently enjoy this incredible spectacle or listen to my favorite electronic music. Sunsets in the Maldives are a real fairy tale! 😊 Locals: The people living on the island were very nice and kind. Everyone was friendly and ready to help. I felt at home there. Their kindness and openness added a special atmosphere to my holiday. Sounds of the surf and waves 🌊These sounds created the perfect background accompaniment for relaxation and rest. I spent a lot of time just listening to the ocean, enjoying its music and sinking into a state of deep relaxation. 🌏 Future trips: I definitely remember this unforgettable mini-vacation in the Maldives and I definitely want to visit other islands in the future. Especially since they are so close to Dubai. I'm looking forward to new adventures! 🏝️ My recommendation: If you want an unforgettable vacation full of beauty and peace, then the Maldives is the place to visit. Trust me, you won't regret it!✈️🌍

Impeccable service. Food is excellent. The house reef is good and reachable via channels from the beach.

Everything was great! The staff was very friendly and did their best to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you so much :-)
