Hotels near Male

From the very first moment, we arrived at the airport and met the Kandolhu team until our departure. Every detail of our stay was flawlessly orchestrated to create an exceptional experience. Though we stayed for only three nights, the warmth, professionalism, and excellence of the team made it truly unforgettable. Location: The journey itself is part of the magic—just a 20-minute scenic seaplane flight followed by a short 5-10 minute boat ride that transports you to this paradise. The Island: Small, serene, and breathtakingly beautiful, Kandolhu is the epitome of a private island retreat. The Resort: Thoughtfully designed with just 30 villas, the property balances exclusivity and comfort. It offers five outstanding restaurants, a stylish bar, a well-equipped gym, a serene spa, and a sea activities center—ensuring that every guest finds their own perfect way to unwind. Our Villa: We chose an overwater villa, and it exceeded all expectations. With a private pool and direct sea access, it provided the perfect blend of luxury and tranquillity. Staff & Service: The essence of true hospitality is mastered here. The team anticipated our needs before we even realized them, creating a seamless, highly personalized experience. Their warmth and attention to detail set a new benchmark for excellence. Dining: A standing ovation to the executive chef, sous-chefs, and the entire culinary team. The food was fresh, inventive, and packed with flavour. With five distinct restaurants—offering Mexican-Peruvian, Mediterranean, Japanese, Sea Grill, and an all-day dining option—every meal was a delightful journey of taste. Spa: We had the 'couple ritual'. A sanctuary of relaxation, the spa at Kandolhu offers a truly rejuvenating experience. With expert therapists, soothing treatments, and a tranquil setting, every session feels like a retreat within a retreat—perfect for unwinding and embracing the island’s serenity. Housekeeping: Impeccable.

It is an incredibly beautiful place with very friendly and accommodating staff. truly wonderful experience from every perspective. No wishes were unaddressed. Our special thanks goes to Claire and her team that made us feel simply blessed to be there.

Beautiful hotel at the beach on a calm local island. Staff are incredible nice and there is variety of tours available, so there is no chance to get bored. Snorkeling with mantas, turtles, fishing...you can do anything. SUP rental was available too and it was great to paddle around. Akeyz is very attentive and ready to help. There is a roof top restaurant and they also serve delicious coffee. Thank you for beautiful memories :-)

Love the authentic, cozy guesthouse and the island was fantastic. Beautiful bikini beach with many fishes on the reef. Thank you very much!

Our stay in Feridhoo was truly special, and a big part of that was thanks to Amjad and the team at AYIRA. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome, picking us up from the public ferry and taking the time to give us a tour of the island. He shared great advice on the best times for snorkeling, which helped us make the most of our time in the water. On our last day, even though we had an early morning transfer to another island, Amjad was up at 7:30 to drop us off and even made sure we had breakfast before leaving. It’s those little thoughtful gestures that really stood out and made our stay feel so personal. Feridhoo itself is a peaceful paradise, but what made it truly unforgettable was the warmth of the people. We’re so grateful for the experience and would love to return one day!

The accommodation itself was spotless. The rooms were immaculately clean, well-maintained, and tastefully decorated, with all the amenities I could ask for. The attention to detail in cleanliness and comfort was impressive and really added to the overall experience. But what truly stood out was the people. The owners and staff went above and beyond, offering personalized service, great local tips, and ensuring that our stay was flawless from start to finish. They really made the difference and made our time on the island unforgettable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene and exceptional stay in Male Feridhoo.

All staff very polite and friendly The place is calm and peaceful.

🌴 Review of the Maldives! 🌊🐠✈️🌍 I want to share with you my impressions of my holiday in the Maldives. I chose a small island with locals and several cozy hotels, and I can say that it was just unforgettable! That's why: 🌞 Climate: The weather was just perfect! Windy and not too hot, especially when compared to Dubai. My skin enjoyed a light breeze and the water temperature was just perfect for swimming. 💦 Water color: Words can't describe how beautiful the colors of the local water are! This is something incredible and indescribable. I always wanted to swim in this wonderful ocean. 🐠 Underwater World: It's amazing that even without going far from the shore with a mask and snorkel, you find yourself in a real aquarium. I personally saw more than 15 species of fish! I was especially struck by stingrays and small sharks. And I also saw a fish with what seemed to be puffed up lips. It was an amazing sight! 🌅 Sunsets: Simply gorgeous! When I sat and watched them, I just wanted to silently enjoy this incredible spectacle or listen to my favorite electronic music. Sunsets in the Maldives are a real fairy tale! 😊 Locals: The people living on the island were very nice and kind. Everyone was friendly and ready to help. I felt at home there. Their kindness and openness added a special atmosphere to my holiday. Sounds of the surf and waves 🌊These sounds created the perfect background accompaniment for relaxation and rest. I spent a lot of time just listening to the ocean, enjoying its music and sinking into a state of deep relaxation. 🌏 Future trips: I definitely remember this unforgettable mini-vacation in the Maldives and I definitely want to visit other islands in the future. Especially since they are so close to Dubai. I'm looking forward to new adventures! 🏝️ My recommendation: If you want an unforgettable vacation full of beauty and peace, then the Maldives is the place to visit. Trust me, you won't regret it!✈️🌍
