Situated along the coastline of Maafushi, Arena Beach Hotel features modern and tranquil accommodation with free WiFi access in the entire property including rooms. Guests can enjoy water sports activities such as diving, snorkelling and windsurfing on site. Our stay at Arena Beach Hotel was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and cared for. They were always attentive, friendly, and willing to assist with anything we needed, whether it was arranging excursions or offering local recommendations. The location of the hotel is unbeatable – right on the beach, offering stunning views and easy access to the best spots on the island. The rooftop pool and sun deck were perfect for relaxing, and the hotel’s private beach area was pristine and well-maintained. The rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The restaurant offered a great variety of delicious dishes, and the daily breakfast buffet was a highlight of our mornings. We genuinely believe Arena Beach Hotel is the best hotel on Maafushi, not just for its prime location but for the warmth and professionalism of the staff. We can’t thank them enough for making our stay so memorable. Without a doubt, we’ll be back again – this hotel feels like a home away from home. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the Maldives!

Located on Maafushi Island, Stingray Beach Inn offers a relaxing getaway and a cosy atmosphere. It houses a restaurant, hammocks in the garden, where guests can relax and rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. Our recent stay at Rate Stingray Beach Inn was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome that set the tone for our entire stay. The check-in process was smooth and efficient. We were promptly attended to, with every detail meticulously handled. Our early arrival was accommodated graciously, and we were able to relax in our room after a long journey, which was a true delight! The heart and soul of the hotel must be its fantastic staff! Every individual we encountered was not only professional but also genuinely warm and welcoming. Whether it was providing recommendations, assisting with reservations, and excursions, or simply sharing a friendly chat, the team went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Nestled a stone's throw away from the stunning coastline, the hotel provided unbeatable access to the beach. Morning strolls and sunset gazing became a beloved part of our daily routine, thanks to the pristine sands and azure waters just steps from our accommodation. It was heartening to observe the sustainable practices. Their dedication to minimizing environmental impact while ensuring a memorable stay was truly commendable. A special shout-out to the wonderful team that went the extra mile when we needed to change our location! Transitioning to a new spot can be a hectic process, but the staff ensured it was anything but. They took charge of transferring our luggage, ensuring every piece arrived safely and promptly at our new destination. It was an enormous relief and a testament to their unwavering commitment to guest satisfaction.
