GermanyBoth the accommodation and the staff deserve nothing less than a 10. It might not be a resort, but definitely it feels like staying in one.
We spent 4 nights there, with breakfast and dinner included. I appreciated the variety and taste of the food. I loved that we could use the sunshades and loungers, which they kindly brought for us on the beach. They also offer a great selection of additional tours you can book. The room was cleaned twice a day. Although we didn't need that, it was great they brought us fresh water every time. Hats off to everyone—you're doing a great job! Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
Snorkeling st the bikini beach was also nice. Unfortunately, most of the coral is dead, but we still got to see many cool fish as well as one stingray.

SwitzerlandYou will fall in love with the Avyanna Hotel! Simply enjoy and relax! It is amazing: it felt like home! We were always welcomed so warm heartedly that we felt like staying at our family or best friends - here on Guhli island! We miss them already! Thanks a million!
The hotel is so clean, food is absolutely delicious and we enjoyed so much dining outside with our feet in the sand and simply enjoy and relax.
Did I mention that team is exceptional?! We were surprised by them every day!
Our room was lovely: friendly and bright with big windows that allow wonderful views to the ocean, sunrise and sunset. We had our own balcony but you can also use their big terrace.
We were all the day at the beach and really loved the beach beds reserved for Avyanna’s guests & softest beach towels, too. (It is just a 3 minutes’ walk in the sand to get to the lovely lagune.) Bring your snorkeling set, be prepared to swim for a while crossing the wide flat area to get to the reef slope. You will be remunerated by a beautiful reef where you will see millions of fishes!
Sometimes WLan in the room was not working and we came down to the inviting lobby. A good moment to enjoy the delicious, freshly made fruit juices!
We highly recommend to do a private tour with Avyannas’ tour operator Shabi to see the turtles naturally eating sea weed in a lagune of another island. Shabi is the most wonderful tour guide - extremely lovely & cool with kids and interested in sustainability. We had so much fun! Plus he is a blessed free diver and photographer and awaits you under water to capture you and the colorful under water world and its creatures: so we got amazing videos and pictures - memories for a life time & and real fun! Thank you!
We had dreamlike holidays thanks to the Avyanna team!

MontenegroJust a perfect hotel on the beach close to all the restaurants. My room was specious with a stunning view. It's super clean and the brekfast is just amazing.All transfers from Male and back were organized by hotel Arena. The staff is extremly kind and a special shout out to Ruwan who was extremly kind and always available if I needed help. All tours and atractions can be booked from the hotel reception so you don't have to worry much:). My second time in Maafushi was so much better thanks to Arena hotel and Ruwan.

Russia100% will stay again.
Big thanks to Rohan, who was always on point, who helped me with the luggage, offered me to change the room when the ac went broken (he offered, not i was asking, which is a good sign. BTW they fixed ac on the next day, which is also quite rapid), breakfast was always on time, good service, good level of hospitality.
The rooms are also ok for the amount you pay. Location on this island doesn’t matter at all, everything is close.
The only thing i would appoint, is the fact that when the guest is asking not to clean the room, usually there is a reason. I am russian, and i don’t have a bank account, which means that i have cash. So i would not expect my room to be cleaned after i asked not to do so. Obviously it’s a rare case, but just so you know. It’s still 10 of 10 as everything was good.

Pristine beaches and crystal clear water. Beautiful sunsets.
Friendly and helpful staff. Direct communication with the assigned agent via WhatsApp. Very convenient.
Amazing food. Six different restaurants to choose from. Fushi restaurant offers a buffet with different selection every day. I highly recommend to book half board. You will save a lot.
Plenty of available water activities. Scuba diving, fishing, snorkeling, dolphin tours, etc.
Nice kids club with lots of activities. Outside playground and water castle. Cooking classes. Rockclimbing wall. Karaoke. Game room.
You have bicycles assigned to your room. We were riding the bicycles every day around the island. You just can't can't get enough of the nature.
The whole island just feels so quiet. Most of the time we hardly saw any people during the day. It almost felt like we rented the whole island.

Stayed in the water bungalow and it was great experience. The glass in the floor to see the fish especially at night time was amazing.
You can snorkel in the reef just outside the island. The snorkeling gear was free if you stayed more than one night. The snorkeling was fantastic- so many fish including several smaller sharks that passed by the reef.
Great food and lots of choices. The staff was very helpful to accommodate food allergies (nuts and peanuts)
Everyone was very friendly and making your stay special.

Maafushi is, overall, a great place – the people are friendly and welcoming. The weak point is definitely the services. When it comes to hotels, don’t expect luxury. In my opinion, for what you actually get, it’s overpriced.
One big plus is that Maafushi gives you more freedom. You’re not tied to a resort – you can move around, explore, go jogging if you want, and enjoy the island on your own terms. You can book trips easily, there’s stuff to do, and it doesn’t feel restrictive.

I loved the proximity to Male for ease of arrival and departure. I also loved looking at the city lights from afar, whilst being separated by stunningly turquoise waters and the gentle sounds of lapping waves. The marine life in the lagoon was plentiful and beautiful, and I had many marine visitors near my villa at all hours of the day. The snorkelling with sharks-excursion was probably the single best experience, but the resort itself was the star of the whole experience. The quality of the villa (amazing bed, wonderful toiletries from L'Occitane, the view, the constant refill of free fresh water and Nespresso coffee) and the rest of the resort (amazing food, world-class spa) was the stuff of holiday dreams!

We booked a family room, and starting from the booking until reaching the Airport to go back home, Aqua Sunset was there for us; just like a family. They prepared all of our meals for us, not to forget to mention the beautiful walkway to the beach was right outside the guest dining area. So we all enjoyed the walk along the coastline, to the bikini beach together, after our meals. The end of the Marina is also right outside the dining area; where they feed the marine life & was also fun to watch with the family, after dinner. We had a super experience, too, with Aqua Sunset’s excursion management team. We booked a half-day family excursion, to swim with the turtles together, and it was so amazing! They even gave us a video of all of us together with the turtles. We all recommend Aqua Sunset because it’s budget/family friendly, the location is perfect, and because everyone made us feel welcomed. Enjoy!

Guraidhoo - ferry every day and easy to reach from Male, not so busy yet, not yet ugly concrete big buildings, bikini beach is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. White soft sand with turquoise warm water and sandy shore for fantastic swimming and walking on the sandbar - great for kids too, sunbeds and good cafe on the beach, there are corals and ship wreck for snorkeling and not to forget the shark feeding place - simply amazing to watch sharks and rays - great entertainment for the evening. There are great restaurants with fantastic prices. This island is amazing choice !

Please ensure you book inclusive package as food and drink outside of the package will be expensive. Take mosquito repellents and your own shower gel, shampoos and conditioners.
This is because the provision of shower items is not good at all. (They might as well say, shower items not provided).
If you want clean rooms and showers, do NOT go here.

We also went for a beginners scuba diving experience and the instructor Rosa was beyond kind, patient, and wonderful. We had the best experience ever.
