'' I'm in love with nature sea is one of my favorite from this Liberty Guest House i got the chance to full fill my needs and wants. Staff was very friendly. And the room was very nice and facing the beach. I was impressed they were managed to arrange a sea view room for me. Other than that they got many activities with them. I did snorkeling, Night time dive and fishing etc. I met local people also they were very friendly”

This magic bungalow is located in Mahibadhoo Island. Capital of South Ari Atoll. A real gem close to the equator. The hotel was found by me by chance. I was looking for a hotel on Omadhoo island for learning to dive. According to reviews in Omadhoo the best diving in the Maldives. But on New Year's holidays, all hotels on Omadhoo have been booked. And then 'New on Booking'! We've just opened! o. Mahibadhoo hotel Dhamana Beach!. I. Mahibadhoo is located 2 km from the I. Omadhoo. On the same coral ridge. I thought it was luck and immediately wrote to Enzo the manager of hotel. The hotel is located on the very shore and the exit leads directly to the white sandy beach. Part of which is covered, creating a shadow. There is a paradise garden for rest and relaxation. A place for those who want to see the real Bounty Paradise. Enzo helped me find and book a diving school for my Open Water Diver certification. It turns out that there is also a certified diving school on the island. Enzo took over all the organizational aspects of my training. I just have to wait for the moment when I arrive at this fabulous place. In reality, everything turned out to be 1000% cooler. Indescribable beauty. The block with the hotel rooms is located in the shade of trees, so the room is not hot. If you open windows and doors, you can do without air conditioning. Fresh ocean wind will blow through your apartments. A small cozy patio leads to a garden on the beach. Well, after 5m the beach itself with azure waves and gentle ocean breeze. The hotel is the only one on this beach. So no one will bother you. The perfect place to relax and recharge. And also for romantic weekends. Enzo booked me a seat at the SpeedBoat. So I got from Male with comfort and without problems. 1 hour on the waves and I'm on Mahibadhoo. The guys from the hotel met me like at the pier. Met like family. A few words about Maldivian hospitality: the Maldives has very positive and hospitable people. For the whole month of my holiday in the Maldives, not a single dissatisfied look at me. Everyone you meet wishes good morning, afternoon, evening. Walking down the street you can be treated to fresh Coconut Juice. Invite guests. Serve coffee. It seems that these people are on a different energy level. Coming from the Russian hell, it seems surreal. Upon arrival at the hotel, according to tradition, freshly squeezed mango juice with ice was waiting for me on the doorstep. Wow room! The coolest. Closest to the ocean. 2 exits to 2 terraces. The room is just huge. Penthouse with ocean view. Very beautiful. Stylish. Shower room and toilet. Also very spacious. Air conditioning, ceiling fan. Presidential apartments. From the terrace exit to the Lounge Zone. Also very spacious with 6 tables. But the most thrill is to dine on the beach under palm trees. According to your preference, you can set the table right in the garden. The person of the hotel are former employees of the resort

Accommodation is located a short walk from the local jetty, also about 10 minutes away from Bikini Beach. Accommodation is on the first floor, dining room is on the second floor with a nice view of the surroundings. Upstairs is a view point. Cleanliness of the rooms and the equipment is ok. The staff tooked care of us to a sufficient extent, to say goodbye to us a romantic dinner on the beach and a great Red Snipper included. During your stay breakfast and dinner rich. The offer of trips is varied, the price may be higher for someone, we personally went fishing (the catch was then grilled), a trip to a private island (highly recommended), snorchling for mantas and giant shark. Snorkeling on the island is magnificent with its variety of species and a large number of fish due to the cliff's proximity.

Viva beach and spa is situated in the heart of a local island allowing you to experience and take in the culture and life of local residents who live there. Everyone you meet on the island are friendly and welcoming, especially those who work at Viva beach. Due to it not being a resort island you need to respect the Muslim culture when outside your room and Viva in covering your shoulders and legs, not showing PDA etc. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the (bikini beach) which is for tourists to use however you can visit any other local beach but should remain covered. Viva is a fabulous hotel, and cheaper (including deals) when booking directly through their website. It is a new building with clean, fresh decor and linens, aircon and the best shower ❤️ the sea view is lovely to wake up to from their comfy beds. They have a safe in the room and toiletries,towels included (along with a designated beach towel). Their food is delicious and plentiful, the buffet breakfast is $6, lunch/dinner $10 pp from their menu. They are incredibly attentive and genuinely wish to give each guest the best stay from food to rooms, to excursions. Raj was fantastic on the snorcaling safari, especially when I was anxious initially. Abdulla, Raj, Mohammed and the team shared their culture with me through food, drink and talking it was one of the best parts of my trip, including a tour to show me the little spots like the oldest tree on the island, the oldest mosque on the island and the schools, shops and cafes. As a solo female traveller I had moved from another island after a bad experience and Viva were first class from pick up from the speedboat to leaving. Hotels on the island are ran by the same family (brothers, cousins, uncles) so you're safe wherever you are on the island. I would recommend anyone who wants to go for a relaxing holiday in the Maldives, with the option of excursions and experiencing another culture. The excursions are endless from ocean activities, beach from dinners, private island trips, even dining with a Maldivian family the list is endless. Island use US Dollars and speedboat is 90 minutes at $40
