Ci-Ritorno View

Maafushi|0.06km from Maafushi
I had no idea that there were affordable places to stay in the Maldives, but then I found the Ci-Ritorno View, and I was in! I was originally only going to stay for a few days, but then I got COVID and had to quarantine at the hotel. Arif took fantastic care of me while I was there: by the end, he felt like family. I had to extend my flight anyway because of my quarantine, but I decided to stay a couple of extra weeks to really get to enjoy the country. The room was large, the bed was SUPER comfortable (and I'm a picky sleeper), the breakfast was nice, the hotel was only a three-minute walk to the beach, everything was walkable, and there were several restaurants and shops nearby. And the best part was that the low price of the hotel meant that I could afford extra snorkeling trips. I mean, if you have thousands of dollars to spend on a private bungalow, be my guest. But the only reason I was able to afford such a long time in the Maldives was because of the Ci-Ritorno View. I'm so grateful that an affordable hotel still exists, and I'm already trying to figure out when I can come back again.

Lagoona Sunset

Maafushi|0.07km from Maafushi
Location hardly matters in Maaffushi as the whole island is a 10 min walk. Booked the hotel for two nights stay. The host Ahmed was extremely responsive on chat n email and kept us updated. Also helped in booking for water sports and speed boat ride from Male airport. The hotel staff greeted us as soon as we got of the boat and took us for a very smooth checkin with some fresh juice. The hotel is around 5 min walk from the bikini beach and the Resturant area, is extremely clean and peaceful. Its a newly build hotel so every thing was brand new. No hush n bush so ideal. Breakfast was nice and room service did a fantastic job. Highly recommend if you are looking for a not so fancy but extremely clean, safe and peaceful hotel with all basic utilities in a hotel.

Arora Inn

Maafushi|0.08km from Maafushi
We did not have the chance to stay here while in Maafushi as we already booked our two nights in a different accommodation. Nevertheless, we visited their terrace which is in a great spot just at the front beach from where you can enjoy a beautiful sunset sipping a coffee. The staff is really friendly and welcoming! Will be there tomorrow again ;) Highly recommend this part of the island (at the opposite end of Bikini Beach), where you will get the taste of the real local lifestyle instead of being surrounded by hordes of tourists. Thanks for today's coffee!

Handhuvaru Villa Boutique Hotel

Handhuvaru Villa Boutique Hotel

3.6/51 Reviews
The hotel is located on the side of the resident island of Ma Fuji near the police station and the prison. It is five minutes walk from Bikini Beach and the more lively places, but the island is not big. From the airport to Ma Fuji, there are speedboats every hour or two every day, 25 dollars unilaterally. I didn't know at the beginning. I went to the airport to contact the boss at the airport information center. The person who was contacted by the boss yelled at the speedboat outside. After half an hour's speedboat arrived at Ma Fuji Island, the little brother used the three-wheeled cart to pick up the baggage back to the hotel. The hotel owner asked me for $25 at the beginning. I thought it was a ferry. As a result, the ferry was only one shift per day, and the journey was one and a half hours. So explain it here clearly and avoid misunderstandings. The folk boss is enthusiastic. I went out to sea and she also provided me with a mobile phone case. The breakfast buddy sat, very good. The house is fully equipped with refrigerator, air conditioning and hot water. There is a supermarket on the inhabitants' island, which is convenient for living. There is a buffet at the end of the island. Generally, the $15 tax is enough.

I was fortunate to spend two nights at Summer Villa Guest House on Maafushi Island in the Maldives. The staff provided excellent service, the rooms were clean, and the breakfast was delicious. They provide a wide range of activities, including water sports, swimming with sharks, snorkelling, and much more. The place is always full due to the excellent service they offer.I highly recommend this place to all my friends. Many thanks to Naseem and his family for their wonderful hospitality. Cheers, Sudesh Mendis from Sri Lanka!

After entering the Male arrival hall, you can go to the information desk to show your order, and the staff will find someone to take it to the pier! I can’t get through to the hotel phone number! There will be staff to pick you up when you get off the boat. The island is not big, and it takes more than 10 minutes to walk. The hotel is located right on the beach, where you can snorkel and there are many big fish. I don’t see Chinese people staying in the hotel. They have Western and Indian food for breakfast! The room has a kettle, refrigerator, safe, bath towels, shampoo and body wash, but no toothbrushes and slippers! You can contact the front desk for sailing. The price is the same for the whole island. There is a beautiful girl with a gentle and gentle smile. She is so beautiful😀. When leaving the island, the hotel will send the luggage to the pier and will also confirm whether the next itinerary is to fly or go. Other islands to avoid delaying your trip! The service awareness of tourist countries is very good! It doesn’t matter if you don’t know English, Google Translate is enough!
