I'm truly overjoyed! The service at this hotel is absolutely fantastic, and the accommodation is exceptionally comfortable! What's more, every single staff member is so warm and considerate, making me feel incredibly cared for. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me such an unforgettable and wonderful stay experience! The food here is not only incredibly affordable but also features far superior ingredients compared to what I've had in the city. What's more, the shisha is a steal at just $5.08, allowing you to savor it by the poolside in utter relaxation.
The hotel is brand new, you can still smell the fresh plaster! 😀 All the furniture, bedding, towels, and sanitary ware are new.
The first room we got was too small for two people. The next day, we asked if we could switch to a different room. The staff were very accommodating and gave us an amazing room, at no extra charge, in another building of the HAWKS chain. There are three hotels in the chain: NEST, WINGS, and WRANS.
After three nights, they offered us a free upgrade to an improved room with a balcony and ocean view.
All three hotels provide slippers, bathrobes, and a wide range of personal hygiene products, even natural loofahs. The bedding and towels are spotless white. Beach towels, masks, snorkels, and fins are all provided for free upon request.
The buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner were just okay. For a hotel of this caliber, it could have been much better. No one starved, of course.
You can also order from the à la carte menu. It's tastier and sometimes even cheaper. Dinner itself costs $15.
The staff are very responsive and always resolve any issues. Special thanks to Ali and Hassan. Hassan is a waiter and a photographer all in one!
I'd recommend the hotel owner replace the sun loungers on the beach with more comfortable ones, and definitely improve the food.
I recommend this hotel and might even return. Oh, I forgot to mention, the hotel offers welcome compliments. Just ask, as they don't really advertise them.
I spent 5 nights here. I really enjoyed my time on the island. The room is fairly basic, but had everything I needed. I booked a snorkeling tour with them to Turtle Island and the Coral Garden which was fabulous and they also helped me arrange a transfer to nearby Maalhos since I needed to go on a Friday when the ferry wasn't running.
Our stay in isla retreat was on 100/10! I liked absolutely everything.
I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff who surrounded us with care throughout the rest.
The food was incredibly tasty, the purity is flawless, the whole service deserves not less than 5 stars.
When we arrived, we took a small tour of the island, and then on the map showed where what is located, where you can swim, and where dangerous flows.
There is a lot of entertainment in the hotel: library, billiard, waist, bicycles. We even looked at the moon in the telescope!
We had breakfast and dinner and everything was very delicious. The menu is large enough to not get bored, and all so delicious that many positions we chose for several days in a row (catch of the day ❤️).
There was always enough drinking water and towels in the rooms. And in general, all the filling of the room deserves a separate mention - from the teapot, to the yoga carpet.
All staff are always ready to help or answer the question.
The hotel is surrounded by green, the balconies can fly the bats, which we have been infinitely delighted.
There is a small beach near the hotel where you can rest in the shadows or look at the star sky.
Fehendhoo and Isla retreat broke my heart, I hope I can come again! 💔
From the hotel to the public beach 50 meters, to the bikini 300 meters, to the channel to the most beautiful part of the reef 200 meters (swim on my way if there is no wave and high water).
The room is clean, there is a refrigerator. Tea/coffee/teapot in the kitchen.
A chic abundant breakfast.
Welcome staff.
The prices for the tour are uniform throughout the island.
I left the hotel today and am writing this from a fresh perspective.
I'll say the main thing right away: the hotel is in a great location; fresh salty air wafts through the open window in the mornings and evenings.
The hotel is right on the pier where all the boats are—it's beautiful. In the evening, sharks come swimming. You can feed them fish.
Inside: the rooms are large, new, and fully equipped. They clean every day, and there's plenty of drinking water. Beach towels are plentiful. In the midday heat, you can linger in the shade of the trees on the shore near your room. Sun loungers, umbrellas, and tables—everything is there. Snorkeling and SUPs are the best place for it. This hotel is right there.
The staff: kind, helpful, and empathetic.
The house reef is great: dolphins, turtles, manta rays, schools of fish. I saw it all myself.
Bikini Beach is a 5-minute walk along the shore. You can walk along the streets – 10 minutes.
The breakfasts were nutritious.
They helped organize all the boat excursions and fishing trips. They were very supportive and attentive.
Adam is the manager. Always ready to talk and help.
A special shout out to Yusuf 🤍 Without him, my understanding of the island and local life would have been limited. He did everything he could every day to ensure I enjoyed myself. It was an incredible experience.
I'll definitely be back. And to this hotel.
There are hotels on the island closer to Bikini Beach, but you won't hear the surf or see the sunrise there because of their location. And the hotels are located on the streets – it's stuffy.
If you're choosing where to stay, choose this hotel. I recommend it!
On Maldives we come for the third time, the Royal Island Resort was the first time and remained very satisfied! The transfer to the island was a hydroplane and a boat (thank you for the hotel that didn't have to wait until lunch of the inner flight). Back by boat and plane by internal flight. The transfer backward was free, for which also a separate thank you. We arrived at the hotel at 8 a.m., we were settled immediately. We took the Villa sunset, and our house was super successful - far from the pier (in those closer to the pier - it is not very convenient to swim and there is no reef) and close to the beautiful reef.
”The food is very tasty and a great variety, every day for lunch and dinner there were necessarily seafood dishes, fruits, crazy desserts, ice cream, all in abundance.
”The staff is friendly, our waiter at the restaurant brought drinks by the moment we had already got the meals - come to the table, and the water is already poured into glasses and a teapot on the table. Host Mark also liked it very much, everything told, showed. The chief manager at Ali restaurant constantly approached asking how we were eating, whether everything likes.
- Cleaning every day , replacing towels every day, including beaches.
We have a lot of where we have visited and what have seen, and in our opinion it is a very worthy resort, with excellent price/quality ratio - recommended !!!
The hotel itself is beautiful clean, good rooms with everything necessary. To the beach 5-7 minutes of choosing.
All communications in the hotel via messages to Watts AP.
We lacked live communication. Tours are expensive compared to other islands. Also for food they collected 27% taxes in addition to the top accounts, such we have met at all for the first time in the hotel, although we were on 5 islands. But there will be nowhere to eat in addition to the hotel. The island itself is cool, on it only 4 gesta, on the beach we were alone.
When you stay at Thundi villa in Maalhos, you'll be near the beach and convenient to Hibalhidoo and Nelivaru Finolhu. This family-friendly guesthouse is within the vicinity of Dharavandhoo Mosque and Hanifaru Bay.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as cooking classes or take in the view from a garden. Additional amenities at this guesthouse include complimentary wireless internet access, concierge services, and babysitting (surcharge).
You can enjoy a meal at the restaurant serving the guests of Thundi villa, or stop in at the grocery/convenience store. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM.
Featured amenities include dry cleaning/laundry services, luggage storage, and laundry facilities. Free self parking is available onsite.
Make yourself at home in one of the 3 air-conditioned rooms featuring minibars. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Private bathrooms have complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Conveniences include safes and desks, and housekeeping is provided daily.

AAnonymous UserI’ve been fortunate to travel to many islands in the Maldives, but Baa Sand Hotel on Kudarikilu completely stole my heart. It’s not your typical luxury resort—it’s better. It’s real, personal, and full of soul.
From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed like an old friend. The staff—Ali, Hasan, and everyone at the hotel—have a way of making you feel seen and cared for without being overbearing. Every request was met with a smile and genuine warmth. Traveling solo, I usually stay low-key, but here, I found myself chatting with locals, joining a sunset fishing trip, and even hanging out with the parrots at reception (yes, they’re adorable!).
The room was spacious, spotless, and surprisingly well-equipped—great water pressure, big comfy bed, strong Wi-Fi, and daily housekeeping that rivals big-name resorts. I also loved the rooftop space and the peaceful garden vibe around the pool.
The island itself is small and quiet, with a couple of local shops for snacks and essentials, and a calm beach just a few minutes’ walk away. I swam with manta rays on a half-day trip organised by the hotel and watched baby turtles hatch right on the sand. It felt like a dream.
But honestly? What makes this place special isn’t just the scenery—it’s the people. The Baa Sand team delivers something you don’t often find anymore: hospitality with heart.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic Maldivian escape with genuine care and comfort, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’m bringing my friends

AAnonymous UserThe sea and nature are magnificent! The ocean and beaches were exceptionally beautiful. The hotel is generally satisfying – rooms are clean, and the staff is helpful. It's wise to get the all-inclusive package; some basic water activities are included, so there were no extra costs.

GGuest UserHad a great holiday at the beautiful Westin. The 45-minute flight distance from Male Airport is just right, and the hotel's pick-up and drop-off services are very attentive. Our order included breakfast and dinner, and one of the dinners could be reserved at the Japanese restaurant. The buffet has a rich variety and you can taste food from different countries. Due to the strong wind and waves during this period, unfortunately we were unable to participate in sea activities such as paddle boarding, but the coaches held a fierce volleyball match in the swimming pool. You can see some corals 🪸 and tropical fish 🐠 while snorkeling. The room facilities are impeccable. The most impressive thing is the enthusiasm of the staff. Whether it is the welcome and farewell queue at the pier, the chat in the restaurant, or the greetings when we meet on the road, it makes you feel as if you are in a familiar community and feel more relaxed and comfortable. If there is a chance in the future, I will come again!
GGuest UserWe’ve travelled to many places around the world and stayed in countless hotels and resorts — some even more expensive than this — but Vakkaru is truly the BEST experience we’ve ever had.
Baa Atoll is already one of the world’s most pristine ecological reserves, and the resort’s blue holes and sandbanks are simply addictive. We could visit them several times a day and still never get enough. At any moment, you’ll find different kinds of fish swimming freely around you.
Beyond the beauty and the facilities, what truly makes Vakkaru unforgettable is the people.
Our butler Myat, the sommelier, and our roomboy Mohamond all went above and beyond, offering the warmest, most thoughtful care throughout our stay. Their kindness made all the difference.
It’s really hard for us to leave.
We will definitely be back — and without a doubt, we’ll choose Vakkaru again.
CCarlitos TravelsThis place is really good, clean, nice design. The Sri Lankan chef makes fantastic food. We had a bit of a misunderstanding with dinner as we had already paid through trip but it was cleared quickly.
We used them to organize a whole day of snorkeling sadly we only saw a turle, due not being the season for mantas nor whale sharks. They took us to an empty island with white sand and crystal blue sea, it was lovely. I think the lunch could have been better but it was a great day. We also went night fishing, we only caught one fish but another couple caught four! Again it was nice being out in the seat night, we then went back to the hotel and the chef grilled the fish we caught!
We were very happy with our stay!

JJasur MavlyanovKiha Beach was undoubtedly one of the most incredible places I've ever had the pleasure of staying at. I cherished every single moment there. The staff was phenomenal, always on hand to assist with anything we needed, and the views from the balcony were breathtaking. However, the highlight was undoubtedly the food: a daily feast of delectable dishes, prepared and served by an exceptional team of chefs and waitstaff. I'm thrilled we decided on Kiha Beach for our stay. I'm eagerly looking forward to returning soon, especially for the Manta Rays season!
