GermanyGreat room, very clean, nice terrace and bikini beach and restaurants really close. And we really enjoyed our stay here because of the amazing team and their good work on hospitality. Everyone was super helpful and nice all the time. Snorkeling gear and a orientation snorkeling was included and we booked one of the many excursions they offer which was amazing too. Can absolutely recommend this place if you come to mahibadhoo.

UkraineI rarely write reviews, but with such outstanding service, I just can't help but give a perfect 10!
I want to thank the hotel team for their warm welcome. They have their own speedboat that takes you from the airport to the island. At the start of the island, an electric bus picks you up and brings you directly to the hotel. What follows is a delightful surprise and a seamless check-in to a cozy room with panoramic windows, refreshing air conditioning, and a stunning view.
A big thank you to the entire hotel team for:
The complimentary island tour.
The fact that the most beautiful beach on the island is just steps away from the hotel.
The delicious breakfasts and dinners.
The daily room cleaning.
The nighttime fishing experience.
Atif’s assistance with excursions, where he acted as a guide and ensured everything went smoothly.
The team also provides plenty of free snorkeling gear, including masks, fins, and vests, which was fantastic.
Special thanks for surprising my brother with a birthday cake—it was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture.
Atif, Ahmed, and the entire team—you’re the best! Thank you for making our stay unforgettable!

SingaporeThis is the 5th time we were in Maldive and among all local hotel that we had been through, Belmar beach gives us the best experienced. Below are the reasons:
1. The hotel room & toilet were clean and very functional - I would give a rating of 9 out of 10.
2. We have a beach front room and was very convenient to the beach with beautiful view and lots of privacy, the beach was clean and not even dry leaves, (everymorning there will be cleaner cleaning up all the dry leaves) - 9 out of 10.
3. The in house reef was also another plus point, without the need to travel any place further and we get to enjoy our snorkeling - 8 out of 10.
4. Everyday , we enjoyed our lunch and dinner there because the hotel has a very good chef. We are not easy to be please with food but for this chef , we give a thumbs up - 10 out of 10.
5. Activities - we went for lobster hunt and we had 2 lobster plus 1 fish catch for our dinner. we went for sunset fishing trip and we caught 19 fishes in 2 hours. They knows exactly which is the spot to catch the fish, so Sunset fishing is a must go activities, likewise for Lobster hunting. and we have 4 fishes for our beach front dinner , which was a surprise arrangement by the hotel staff - 9 out of 10.
6. The island is very well located , as most activities are not too far away from the island and that make it convenient without having to take hours just to reach the activity location - 9 out of 10.

Overall, all was great, best vacation we've had, wonderful honeymoon! Location was amazing, we got a sunset water villa with a jacuzzi, rays would swim around our stairs, it was 5 meters snorkeling to the reef.
Food was awesome, varied, buffet style, we tried both all inclusive and full board. We found the latter more cost effective as we didn't drink that many coctails and water was included for all meals, plus tea/coffee/juice for breakfast. I highly recommend the candlelight dinner at the beach with grilled lobster. We had an amazing server, Shafan, who took excellent care of us for 3 hours. Best and most romantic dinner I've had, and I've had many!
We spent nine days and always had plenty to do. We snorkeled every day. Vilamendhoo has a wonderful live reef. We saw a turtle, eagle and sting rays, sharks (I'm in general very wary of these creatures and had some apprehension coming in but these were cute and harmless), a muray eele, and all sorts of wonderful colorful fish. Bring a gopro camera!
We took a full day trip looking for whale sharks, turtles, and manta rays. We missed the whale shark by about 15 minutes but swimming with manta rays was memorable. We did 5 our six snorkels with them, led by a great guide Haisham. Afterwards he was kind enough to send us cool pictures and a video from the day.
The all inclusive package also includes a 30 minute photo shoot. We got some great pictures out of it, like a postcard, no filter. Other highlights included night snorkeling (we'll have to come back for fluo), windsurfing, seeing cool birds and orange fruit bats, as well as a free dinner at the Asian wok restaurant (part of the 5 day all inclusive package, great atmosphere and view, baby sharks have their meeting place under the restaurant).
The villa was great, clean, and cleaned twice daily. There were no bugs in it and overall very few on the island.

Normally I am not the "all icl" person but it was so great over there. For me, all icl was really necessary, you don't have shops or other restaurants at the island (there is 1 little souvenier shop but not a supermarket or sth like this). The food was really good (buffet; pasta station - loved it!! - currys, desert station, Pizza, meat etc. Small island (when you take a walk at the beach you are done with the whole island in ~10 Mins :D but a lot to see / do: Pool (no people there; maybe just at the evening), good food & cocktails, animals (geckos & bigger ones are everywhere on trees, fruit bats, ginger the cat, a grey heron, two little parrots, little sharks, octopus & rays esp at dusk; take a torch at night or you will step on a crab :D). staff is very nice, especially the cooks at the pasta station! there are a lot of italians on the island, but animation is in english too (movie night, sports, music quiz etc). our water bugalow was very spacious and great! we didnt wear shoes on the whole island (even at dinner there is a sandy bottom) <3 Would definetely recomend a stay on this island and book again!

everything was amazing, we had a wonderful beach villa, 2 rooms, huge and comfy bed, swimming pool and the level of cleaniless is out of this world!
the best thing about this place is the way they run things, mainly THE STAFF: kudos to our lovely hosts Lucas, Diana, Lily, Nasaril, and especially SAMEERA who always went over his head to guarantee us the best possible experience. (he even brought me some cigars from 70km by seaplane!)
Also, shout-out to the cooking team! the food was really michelin star quality. The wine selection is unbeliveble, and the wine guys really know what they are talking about.
Honestly, this place is so well organized it should get 11/10 we will surely return next year!

It was definitely the best holiday ever.
We loved everything especially the staff are all so friendly and welcoming, they made our holiday special.
Thank you to everyone there especially Nizam, Ahmed from the restaurant, Kalam the chef, Shalahuddin the chef, Faruq from house keeping, Jugal from green fingers, Kamil and the team from water sports and the main bar.
The property is beautiful, clean and modern, the island is relatively big to do so many things.
Everything exceeded our expectations and 120% recommend to anyone planning to go to Maldives.
We will definitely come back to Villa Park!

A wonderful resort on a beautiful island. We stayed in the Deluxe Overwater Villa, which was luxuriously furnished and equipped. The entrance directly from the terrace to the water was amazing. They cleaned twice every day and refilled the water bottles in the morning. They cook excellently in the restaurant. A large selection of local and Italian cuisine at dinner. Also fish every day. The kitchen staff also took care of our gluten-free diet - they baked gluten-free bread and pastries and prepared gluten-free pasta. Free water served at dinner. Beautiful sandy beaches with a coral reef with fish, turtles and reef sharks. Attentive staff. We recommend it to everyone.

This was my second stay at LUX and once again it was a truly special experience. We stayed in August, with wonderful weather, in a beautiful water villa overlooking the crystal-clear sea. The resort is enchanting: the island is large and well equipped, offering many facilities such as a gym, diving center, six restaurants and several bars. The international breakfast was excellent and served in two different restaurants. During our stay we dined almost every evening at Umami, the Japanese restaurant: outstanding food thanks to Chef Jester and impeccable service by Reehaan. I highly recommend trying it.

The resort was just the right size; neither too big or small. They seem to cater for couples rather than families which meant there were less people at the resort allowing the staff to be more attentive.
Everyone was super friendly and the service was 5 star along with the food.
We know of a few couples who visited Meeru island for their honeymoon and we did a lot of research and comparisons with Meeru but chose diamonds Thudufushi, and we have absolutely no regrets.
Highly recommend this resort for couples.

An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

For food, I recommend the restaurant at the Dhiguveli hotel and the Teapot restaurant. Getting around the island is very easy; you can reach any place quickly on foot. Don't miss going to the sandbank at one of the ends of the island.

Great Island, plenty to do and good snorkelling straight off Villa. Food, people and facilitiies were great - cannot fault. Deluxe water villas were a bit tired and really need a refurbishment - other than that great time in Kuramathi...

I didn't like that the island lost most of it's green and I didn't see the wild nature I prefer. There was a lot of construction going on the moment I was there, I felt discomfort because of that. And maybe in 1-2 years it's going to be over I think. But on the other hand there's just amazing diving on the house reef and nearby reefs. There's a lot of nice restaurants and there was no day I felt bored.

It is a small enough island to walk around.
It is a small enough island to walk around. The locals are extremely friendly - always saying hello.
There are 3 restaurants all along the west coast. Compass seems most popular. But all are good with same offering of food.
There is a fair amount of building going on at the moment as they gear up for more tourists.
We used South Ari Dive for our diving trips. They are professional and friendly.

We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean. The food is AMAZING! Everyone from staff are kind. The resort is sustainable, they try very hard to recycle and repurpose almost everything which is really nice. All inclusive is the smarter choice, trust me😄
The snorkeling is really fun! The whole island stands on coral reef and there is a lot to see! Maybe bring your own equipment, although you can rent. I don’t recommend the visit to the local island, nothing to see there
We absolutely recommend

It was not my first time in Maldives and my experience there was disappointing compared to my previous trips in other resorts. The quality of service is poor and it’s a shame because the resort is lovely and the staff are nice but lack professionalism.

You need maximum 3 days to complete all trips, any more than that would have to be someone who loves water sports as these are the main activities in this country, anyways.
Bring a mosquito or any insect repellent, you will need these after a stroll on the shores or anywhere there are plants.
Also have an anti-nausea pill if you are the seasick type.
Taxis have a fixed price for each location, check that out.
Alcohol in the resorts is expensive but then again that's all you got.
Best to pay all meals or include dinner in your package as there are almost no restaurants outside, depending on the island, and if you find one it's either a chips or coffee spots.

A Wonderful Beach Holiday.
A Wonderful Beach Holiday. Necessary structure: shops and cafes are available. The ability to pay with a bank card, as well as in cash (USD, MVR). Good exchange rate in all places. I was pleased with both Mathiveri and Mathiveri Finholu: the beaches are clean, the sand does not burn your feet, and there is a comfortable "coolness" in the shade of the trees.

Superb new facility and well connected atoll with great diving spots close by, the diving crew is well experienced and friendly, and they conduct PADI certification courses as well.
All inclusive includes free kayaking for one hour every day (depending on sea conditions), free SUP for one hour every day (depending on sea conditions) and free rental of snorkeling gear for the entire duration of stay. There were several other water sport options like jet sky, dive tours, night snorkeling as well. The active coral reef need a bit of a boat ride to reach but they are filled with fishes. The whale shark viewing was amazing!!
