We had all inclusive reservation and food was excellent and there was a lot of different choices, even for vegeterian. Staff was amazing! They made our honeymoon perfect. Biggest thanks to our waiter Pramod, who was professional, always happy, helpfull and made us feel special. He also decorated our table beautifully on our last night.

Nova Maldives 5 stars

Dhangethi

Facing the beachfront, Nova Maldives offers 5-star accommodation in Dhangethi and features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden. Among the various facilities are a bar, a tennis court, as well as a private beach area. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property. Very nice resort, Nice people and also nice visitors. Mainly from Europe, few from other countries. Young and older people and all very decent. Villa's are brand new and great with great gardens. The outdoor bathroom is beautiful with many plants and trees. The beach is powder soft and white sand. The house reef is okay, not spectacular. There is a small diving school that does custom made trips. We saw a whale shark which is very rare but due to the great staff and persistence we found one and we snorkeled with it. Unbelievable experience. And during that trip we saw dolphins jumping twice! Every evening they spray the gardens against moscitoes. This not very pleasant (it smells) but on the other hand we were not bitten at all! We loved the pool biljart :)

Sandies Bathala 4 stars

Bathala

Sandies Bathala features a private beach area and a fitness centre. This 4-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, a shared lounge and free WiFi. Mediterranean cuisine is served at the restaurant.

At the hotel, each room is equipped with a patio with a sea view. Rooms are complete with a private bathroom equipped with a hair dryer, while certain units at Sandies Bathala also provide guests with a seating area. We spent two weeks in Sandies Bathala resort in August/September 2022. Accommodation : We got the room 113 which was one of the best on the island in our opinion – calm sea, great views and wide beach. Cleaning service was provided twice a day. Food&drinks : The food was amazing, especially desserts and soups! Everything was fresh and tasty. Coffee included in all inclusive package was tasteless and you need to pay extra for e.g. cappuccino which is not even better when it comes to quality. We would expect for such a resort to have it included in the package. Drinks were really good though Service: Service was one of the best we have ever experienced. The waiters were polite and friendly. Everything was organized well from the initial communication through transport and check-in/check-out process. We enjoyed our stay in Sandies Bathala and would definitely recommend it to everyone seeking a little paradise in the middle of the ocean. Special thank you and appreciation note goes to Silvia – Guest Manager of the resort. She went above and beyond by arranging the sea plane transfer change on last minute due to our cancelled flight. Without her immediate help we would have been stuck in Male for 1 night (minimum). Silvia is a true example of customer-oriented person going extra mile to make the guests happy. Thank you!

Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa 4 stars

Dhangethi

Featuring free WiFi and an outdoor swimming pool, Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa has a spa centre and a private beach area, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant.

Every room at this resort is air conditioned and is fitted with a flat-screen TV. Certain rooms feature views of the sea or garden. All rooms include a private bathroom. One of the BEST and still LIVE (a good part of it) house coral reef. if you look for real underwater life, this is the place to go. I think the more live the reef is, the more and nicer fishes appear: Do snorkel there on both sides of the island, as we saw lots of different fishes - colors and sizes, whale shark (1.5-2 m long), the spectacular colors of the live reef (incredible indigo); also baby sharks walking every day at the very shallow water near our beach villa, - when the dark set in, the baby sharks appeared to start hunting as you could see the shark fin and then lots of very small fishes jumping all together over the water to escape from that :)) - a real show ! the food: my God, I would say it is like 5* hotel food, if there is someone to complain, I cannot see why that could be.. they cover all the needs and standards there. staff friendliness is excellent, very serious and attentive. bars drinks very good ones. We had Bubbles and lobster Beach Dinner, wow, what a good and really big enough lobster we had, I totally recommend it! as wine lovers, we can tell the AI package is not worth it (unless you are very into cocktails) bc it has house wine only included -not drinkable for us! so we had HB package with no drinks included but we could find a very nice bottle white wine to have it with the lobster for example, I recommend it: MUD HOUSE Sauvignon Blanc, New Zeeland -55USD: what a nose/perfume/aroma!!

Drift Thelu Veliga Retreat 4 stars

Dhangethi

Guests can pamper themselves at the Intimate Spa by THEMAE or partake in activities such as snorkelling, diving, wind surfing and kayaking; where all can be arranged at an additional cost. In addition the resort offers a menu of bespoke romantic experiences and excursions which may be arranged upon request. The property has Chinese speaking staff. The island is very small and cozy, since there is few people around at all times it becomes a paradise for relaxation. Staff was extremely gentle and supportive at all times; also the food was excellent and you get plenty of choice every day, with lots of variations. The beach villas (we booked one of these) are well spaced, with all the comforts, and obviously the sea was amazing.
