Loved the food, the room were very comfortable and had amazing view of the beach and ocean. Central location. The hotel arranged excursions and activities were awesome. The “Real Break” and “day pass to Centara resort” is a must in addition to others. And yea their staff member “Tiger” and “kasun” and all others were very helpful. Tiger is your go to guy in case of any issue and booking of excursions and honest opinions for what excursions to do. Overall must recommended for stays
Too much Broken coral making it hard to enjoy walk in water. So remember to buy rubber beach walk shoes from any local souvenir shop

This is a small, cozy guesthouse. The service is super level in terms of support and assistance, they will help and tell you where and how to go or how to book. Shozol and another one employ a very kind and nice managers. The food is simple and unpretentious, but fresh. My Wi-Fi was excellent, but you get tired of reconnecting every couple of minutes. This is a great place for those who constantly go on excursions every day.

Island is not far from the airport, the possibility of various water sports and day trips The best sites for diving with sharks and eagle rays at the nearby Kandoma Tila site. I have about 25 dives there. In the island is many dining options and many shops.

The trips on offer are spectacular.
The trips on offer are spectacular. I would advise you understand the type of boat you are going on and check the weather. Salt Beach do fabulous trips and the guys on the boats are great.
We did have a trip with 'Maldivian Fellows' I was very disappointed with this one as they didn't have watchers looking at the people in the water and showed no encouragement to people that were a little nervous like 'Salt Beach' guys
We did the parasailing which was fabulous. We booked this with the guys next to the bikini beach and they were great.
Ive been to the island 5 times now and love its rustic charm although it is getting busier.
I can highly recommend the 'Juice Vibe' for the best coffee and juices. There are lots of restaurants to choose from, my favourites are 'Moonlight' which is situated at the opposite end to bikini beach and the Indian restaurant next to the Kanni hotel. Some of the washroom facilities are not so clean so always carry tissues with you.

People of Maafushi treat you based on the following: if you are white-skinned and living in a resort, you get the best treatments. After that, white-skinned, then brown-skinned in the resort, and the rest are treated like they don't belong in their precious land. Their definition of hospitality means you are meant to agree and not counter when they suggest something. If you have a different opinion, you are rude and disrespectful. The nature is unparalleled, but the locals have a long way to go to learn hospitality.

It is a very beautiful small island with very warm and hospitable people. With azure water and golden beaches. Prices are very affordable, there are several good restaurants.
It was impossible to swim because there are many reefs in the water inside and we caught our feet many times, which is why we could not go into deep water, and near the shore there is waist-deep water. No one has informed us about this. The hotel must inform the guests about such details in advance.
It would be good if there would be a bridge for those who want to swim in deep water, which would give them the opportunity to go directly into deep water.

Public island - so no alcohol/ all inclusive plush.
Public island - so no alcohol/ all inclusive plush. The island is small, had good snorkeling, small shops, restaurants and bikini beach! Everyone is friendly and want to make sure you have a good time. Many options to rent water crafts, fun water sport items. Many excursions that give you exactly as they are advertise. A short trip by boat from Male makes it convienent - not have to spend all day getting to your hotel.

Maafushi is currently a construction site.
Maafushi is currently a construction site. There is building work everywhere on the island which is only 1km x 300m. It is not a paradise island at the moment.
There are lots of restaurant options but it is not cheap if you choose a venue that doesn't include the service charge and government tax in the meal price.
I would avoid Maafushi until its been re-built.
Our stay was awesome!! Mr Rifa the owner/manager was very accommodating and he gives us attention and book all excursions. He even let us ride his electric vehicle to drop us in the meet-up area for all excursions. All staff are very friendly. You will leave maafushi with smile once you are under care of Mr Rifa. Asmi, arora inn staff gave us her wonderful piece of art. She painted a beautiful scenery and handed us on our last day. Thank you so much for making our vacation fantastic!! Over all, 10 star is not enough!
This is one of the best hotels on Maafushi. Located next to Bikini Beach, where all activities take place, it offers a convenient location to avail water sports and excursions and breathtaking views of the ocean. Unlike some of the other poor reviews I read on food, the taste was amazing. The roof top pool was the best part. It was mostly empty and allowed us to experience it as a private pool. The hotel offers excursions and given that they have a large number of guests, you are sure to find a package of your liking.
Affordable option in Maafushi with most hotel amenities in room provided. Excursions or tours can be organised with some require minimum pax. Speedboat ride around 30 minutes from Male and island is calm with many options surrounding for meal or some shops for necessity. Check in went well and smooth check out. Efficient Houskeeping special thanks to Muhammad Suhail from Bangladesh and his fellow colleague for make up service also caring FnB staff for breakfast time.
Everything was exceptional,stayed here for 5 Days.This is one of the beautiful stay of mine so far in any hotel.Staff is very helpful in all your matters,food was very good the best place to get the Indian food with good taste in Maafusi.Breakfast is wonderful with buffet style plenty options for veg and non veg both.Hotel also arrange candle light dinner,water sports and trips along the Island.They also provide Bi cycle to you for roaming around the Island.
We booked this hotel for 4 nights and then extended for another 3 nights as it is the best option in Maafushi!
Arora View is new hotel and located away from the bustle and construction sites, which does not interfere with your relaxation. The rooms are clean and spacious with large balconies. Excellent breakfasts. There is also free afternoon tea. Really kind and great personal! Special thanks to Tulsi, who helped us a lot and was so kind and amazing!
This hotel was recently renovated, everything is so new, beautifully designed, rooms are very cozy and well furnitured. It looks just like on the photos. Staff is extremely welcoming and accommodating. As far as I can judge this is the best place to stay in Maafushi! The view from the room was incredible. Breakfasts are very average though, but I am sure they are working on it. 10000% recommended.
The hospitality was really good. The Whole staff is friendly. Good breakfast, it’s delicious. Worth the price.Close to beach .Maafushi is definitely the place if you are looking for a beautiful, calm experience. water sports , snorkeling excursions and scuba diving are great with best experience at best rates.
thankyou saif for your tasty breakfast.
thankyou island ambience for hosting us.
The staff were the best part of the hotel. The island is very small so all hotels are close to beaches and restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff made this modest reasonably prices hotel into a top stay. I would normally mention individual staff but it's impossible since every single member of the hotels team were phenomenal.
We stayed in this hotel for 1 day and 1 night. And we had an extraordinary time. All the staffs were so friendly and welcoming. helpful with directions. Loved the view and the room. For checking out, the process was smooth and thanks to the reception staff khrys for being so kind and helpful. Loved the stay, will be definitely going back! ♥️
Just exceeded our expectation... Very beautiful Island with lot of sporting activities... provided free snorkeling kits and life jackets... special mention to Mr. Hassan who was very friendly.. highly recommended for families... very close to the beach... its a great budgetary hotel if your planning for long stays...
Our 1st stay in Maldives took a jetty from Airport to Maafushi. There was hotel Manager and an attendant waiting for us to receive. It's 5 min walk to the hotel. Our room was clean and huge. Best was the sea view balcony where sunrise was very clearly visible. Amazing view the next morning
Good price/quality for this guesthouse, especially if you want to visit the Maldives on a budget! The room was comfortable and clean with everything we needed, there was a hot water shower and fast Wifi. Since Maafushi is a small island, any location is good here.
Rooms are clean, well equipped and the staff is very polite and professional. The infinity pool on the top floor is stellar. Sunbeds are free of charge. Breakfast and dinner variety/quality are superb. One of the best hotels to stay in Maafushi.
The reason brought me to this hotel was the snorkling tour they conducted , its the best of the island and thanks to booking.com for listing such a good property with best price and quality people. next time i will come again.
The staff are really nice and helpful. The room is clean with good balcony space. The beach is right in front of the hotel. The whole island is walkable the supermarket is 3 min walk and many restaurants around the beach.
