Lhaviyani Atoll hotels & places to stay

this is the second visit to Maldives and we pick this new resort. stayed in this resort was one of the best decision I've made :) we picked the all inclusive package and it was totally worth it. all inclusive package gave you a total comfort as you wont feel starving or thirsty at all. they offer lot varieties on drinks. when you are hungry in between meal time you can just walked to coco bar and ordered snack. my fave snack is calamary. the mocktail selection were also taste great. Buffet selection especially dinner was great. fresh seafood, live cooked and great taste. one of the reason to stay in Hurawalhi is because they have the underwater restaurant, we booked lunch set at it was a wow experience. Room are great they have turndown service too in the evening so you always have a clean room just before going to bed. the island was so beautiful and their infinity pool was very nice especially in the evening.

Loved it. The seaplane ride up to the atoll was fun and the scenery was beautiful. The resort was well organized and friendly. We got the sea villa over the water which was awesome. Service was great and facilities were top notch. I'm not a big "all-inclusive" fan and don't like buffets, but this was pretty great. The food was really good (especially for a buffet, although it certainly wasn't mind-blowing), and the wait staff were attentive and friendly. Plenty of activities if you want - tennis, golf, sailing, diving (costs extra). We were only there four days (booking through Agoda allows this, although the resort's website says minimum six days). We had great diving - lots of turtles, a few sharks, manta ray, etc. Everybody we talked to was having a great time and many were repeat customers. The resort maintains local time an hour ahead of the rest of the Maldives just to give you longer daylight and the illusion that you're sleeping in later. It also makes it easier to handle flight connections back to Male, since you arrive back there before you even took off! I did a lot of research to find the right resort in the Maldives that wasn't crazy expensive, that had all the facilities we wanted, but wasn't going to be a cheap place or overcrowded or full of trashy people. This place has it all - beautiful beaches, great facilities, great rooms and friendly service. I really feel like I found the perfect place. I almost never go back to a place twice, but if I went back to the Maldives, I would seriously consider going back to Kuredu.

This was our second visit to Maldives. First time we have visited bigger resort, and this time we have decide to try Fushifaru. Everything was great, event better then first time. Sunset Beach Pool vila is perfect, with modern equipment and furniture. Staff is polite and friendly. Island is 40min away from Male with sea plane. Beach is very good. Pros: - New resort with modern equipment - Great staff - Good beach - Nice pool - Good options for water sports - Free water, coffee and tea in rooms - Bathrooms are state of art, you will enjoy in every second - Free alcohol during dinner time in restaurant Cons: - Food - it should be better. Chefs are doing they best, but diversity and quality of food must be on higher level for 5 star resort. - There are traces of construction works on island and in water. - A little bit overpriced Tip: if you booked just breakfast, email resort in front to take a dinner as well, for us it was $49 per person per day and it is best option.

I originally booked our stay just for a getaway before our next trip to Tokyo, Japan, but little did I know I was going to receive such great treatment. My boyfriend and I were in holiday not celebrating anything special but, the little things that the staff of Komandoo did for us make us feel as if we were. We were greeted with a welcome drink and a special welcome chant from the reception staff; we still jokingly sing the welcome song to ourselves. Anyways, although I’d booked an all-inclusive package for us, I didn’t realize that so much stuff came along with it. From the included couples massage, to the romantic dinner at the Aqua Restaurant, the resort did not fail in the surprise department. Even the little things such as coming to refresh our room at least twice a day to having spare flip flops that fit both of us, to use at our leisure. From the welcome to the goodbye we were constantly treated like royalty and had the greatest and most relaxing time our lives. The staff were wonderful and very helpful at making sure we had everything that we needed. The ocean jacuzzi villa was marvelous and fitted our every need during our stay. The food was delicious and full of variety, in which we never went hungry or wanted for more. They offered many options to included Halal and Gluten Free for those who have special dietary needs. As a same-sex couple, we worried about being treated differently and judged because Maldives is a Muslim country, but felt as normal and as equal as the other couples occupying the island. Our privacy was respected and we were never questioned concerning our sexuality. The daily activities and amenities that were included, such as the live entertainment, cooking lessons, and the snorkeling lessons were the highlights of our trip, definitely made it worth our while. The weather wasn’t always the greatest, but when it wasn’t the best we decided to use it as nap time or time to just relax in our villa. Speaking of the villa, we didn’t have

We went to Kanuhura for a double-Honeymoon. My husband and I went along with our close friends who were also newly weds. It was our first time in Maldives and we went during Chinese New Year season. We were planning to book resorts near the airport so we wouldnt have to take a seaplane (saves money and time) but since there were few available resorts left, we booked Kanuhura. At first we were very skeptical due to the price and the additional cost for the seaplane which in fact cost more than our airfare from SG! Even before seaplane landed the resort, we were astounded by the resort view. The staff were already waiting for our arrival and they gave us a warm welcome. There were lot of fishes and stingray! It was so nice to see just beneath the reception villa! We really enjoyed our stay! We stayed at the Beach villa! It was spacious and tidy. There were lots of activities available with professional instructors like yoga, scuba diving, snorkeling etc. We tried all the restaurants in the hotel and their food were tasty! We even had tried the sandbank experience and our butler was very friendly and accommodating! All the staff were friendly, they were always checking how are we doing and if the food is nice. Catherine a fellow Filipino was very helpful! She helped us plan our activities for our entire stay and which food to try! It was a very memorable experience and we will definitely come back! :)

Palm Beach is a paradise. We already went to Maldives before this time, but Palm Beach is special: the water is not only the clearest possible but also with an incredible color (reminds me of French Polynesia). At the end of the Island there is a beautiful neverending beach (great for photos!). As for the rest: there is a great variety of very good food, the excursions are well organized, the snorkeling is great (we saw eagle and sting rays, sharks, many different fishes and turtles! We also swam with a turtle for at least 10 min next to the hotel), and the staff is the best. The majority is from Maldives. They were kind, always ready to help and always smiling. Thank you everyone in Palm Beach. We will come back soon !!!

Overall, the experience with this lodge is not bad, although some of the staff are not so fluent in english, but i can see them trying hard to provide their best service to travelers. The place is new, nice and very clean, they even have a kitchen for travelers to cook if one find the food is not so suitable, nearby with cheap groceries...Would recommend to those who had a tight budget to travel to Maldives.. its 2.5 hrs away from Male city via speed boat. Had a very pleasant snorkeling experience with an experienced sea guy whose name is Hussein in the island itself, and a very reasonable fare for sea outing as well... overall, would highly recommend this lodge if have a tight budget...

Innahura is an amazing quiet pleasant resort, my best experience on an Island, it gives you so much privacy and gives you the best facilities from an infinity pool to play area and also has a private beach with the best sunset with amazing skyline. It was my husband birthday the resort made us feel special by decorating the bed, for dinner also had a cake baked specially for my husband made him feel good, Our Honeymoon was the highlight it was our 1st time in Maldives and I can say the resort was the best choice we made, from the full board option with amazing delicious food, and theme nights. There was a chef named Dinesh Boda he was an Indian and very interactive and helpful with whatever request we had, he made us feel special with friendly gestures and warmly words. The entire team at Innahura was very kind and polite when they talk to guest. Truly an amazing place to spend some cozy time with your spouse or as a couple. I love the swing on the beach its an amazing idea for pic
