Best Hotels in Miriandhoo, Maldives

Had a great holiday at the beautiful Westin. The 45-minute flight distance from Male Airport is just right, and the hotel's pick-up and drop-off services are very attentive. Our order included breakfast and dinner, and one of the dinners could be reserved at the Japanese restaurant. The buffet has a rich variety and you can taste food from different countries. Due to the strong wind and waves during this period, unfortunately we were unable to participate in sea activities such as paddle boarding, but the coaches held a fierce volleyball match in the swimming pool. You can see some corals 🪸 and tropical fish 🐠 while snorkeling. The room facilities are impeccable. The most impressive thing is the enthusiasm of the staff. Whether it is the welcome and farewell queue at the pier, the chat in the restaurant, or the greetings when we meet on the road, it makes you feel as if you are in a familiar community and feel more relaxed and comfortable. If there is a chance in the future, I will come again!

Soneva Fushi is the best resort on this planet, period. I felt the same way after our first visit last year and our second trip has only solidified this feeling. We’ve already booked for 2025. As mentioned, our last stay was so amazing we had to come back, this time with our 6-month old daughter who we travelled all the way from Canada re-experience this magic island. We stayed for 8 nights in December and arrived from a 6-night remarkable stay at Soneva Jani that we thought would be hard to top. I’ve decided to focus my review on the unique and truly memorable aspects to our stay. Our biggest concern going forward is how the stay we just had could ever be topped in the future. Warning, long review incoming. Here were the most amazing aspects of our stay: 1/ Villa 10 “The post card view room” - We were upgraded to a 2-bedroom Crusoe Suite with a pool. This room was absolutely amazing and had a ‘post card’ style view looking out to the water, which was framed by palm trees and a hamock. After having an incredible stay at Soneva Jani staying over the water, our beach style villa at Soneva Fushi was such a nice compliment. Some things that really stood out: totally secluded jungle vibe, expansive private beach area, private gym and steam room, the outdoor washroom was insane, and the double story doors that looked like they’ve been designed to perfectly match the trees that surround the villa. Specifically with our daughter, the extra space of the 2-bedroom was amazing and the large couches inside and outside gave us ample room to have her roll around. This villa will be in our memory until we get the chance to come back!!! 2/ Michelin Star Dinner Journey at Out of the Blue… WOW!! We had the opportunity to try an experimental dinning experience and visit 3 Michelin star chefs at different locations within Out of the Blue. This was the best dinning experience best of our lives! We got to experience: So Hands by Chef Akira for 5 Omakase courses, Once Upon a Table with Chef Jacob Holsmtrom for 3-courses and finished of with So Bespoke with Chef Hiroshi for an additional 4-course at the breathtaking tapianki table. Each meal was unique and remarkable. This is something that I would highly recommend you ask to do if you get the chance, you will not be disappointed! 3/ The Private Sandbank Breakfast - Soneva will set you up with any breakfast your heart desires and leaves you to enjoy the sunrise and breakfast in private. The sandbank is a magical location and to have gotten the chance to see the sunrise and have breakfast alone was incredibly romantic, peaceful, and beautiful. 4/ The Dolphins Sunset cruise - After an unsuccessful Dolphin cruise at Soneva Jani due to weather, we had an amazing experience on perfectly calm waters - it was another simply magical experience where we saw dozens of dolphins swim below the boat. We also got to enjoy sparking wine for a 10/10 sunset, which added to the experience. I will add both times we’ve been to Sone

Nous avons eu le plaisir de séjourner au Finolhu Hotel Maldives durant le mois de décembre. Notre séjour était plus que parfait au delà de nos espérance et je dirai même comme un rêve, une pure magie ! L’expérience Finolhu est un tout mais ou le client est toujours au centre : - Cela commence par un magnifique lounge pour attendre le sea plane. - l’experience sea plane est un must quand on visite les maldives - a l’arrivée a l’hôtel (atterrissage du sea plane) toute l’equipe de Finolhu nous attendait. Nous avons été accueilli avec des Jus de noix de coco ou le responsable Shaima nous a présenté à notre conseillère particulière Ikram (oui chaque famille a une personne dédiée pour s’assurer que le séjour se passe bien !) L’hotel a assuré que nous ayons une conseillère qui parle Français on connaissant d’avance notre nationalité ! - le check-in se fait a la chambre (pas besoin d’attendre une éternité à la reception) Ikram qui nous a fait le tour en buggy nous a accompagné jusqu’à notre chambre et nous a fait le check-in en 2 minutes chronos pendant que nous prenions repère de notre magnifique chambre - la chambre était juste sublime (Nous avions pris une chambre Water laggoon villa). Le design était juste avec le thème maldives, moderne mais avec une touche des iles. La vue était superbe sur la mer et la plage de loin ! À noter que la chambre était tres spacieuse 145m2 ! - Le service de la chambre est extraordinaire ! La chambre est refaite plusieurs fois dans la journée (a chaque fois qu’on sort et on revient) la chambre est refaite ! - l’hotel à développer une application pour les clients ou on peut trouver tout les programmes de la journée pour les adultes et pour les enfants, on peut booker les restaurants, le spa a travers l’application et le top on pouvait communiquer a travers un chat H24 et la réponse est dans les 30 secondes qui suit ! Juste une inimaginable ! On pouvait demandé n’importe quoi et l’hôtel s’assurer de l’excellent service ! - Pour se déplacer dans l’ile ou de la chambre au restaurant ou a la plage des buggy sont mis a disposition et y’on a plein contrairement a pleins d’hôtels aux maldives ou on galère pour trouver un buggy la ca manque pas ! - Le personnel de l’hôtel est très accueillant, chaleureux , souriants toujours aux soins. Un service extraordinaire digne d’un 7 étoiles ! - le restaurant principale propose chaque soirée un thème (italien, indien, latino, maldivien, street food,…). On lisant les reviews de pas mal d’hôtels aux maldives on a cru comprendre que la nourriture n’était pas le point fort des hôtels mais au Finolhu c’était juste délicieux ! On avait toujours une partie grillade poisson, boeuf, steak, poulet. Les desserts étaient secculents ! Un grand merci a Ali, Ameen et Jeffrey le manager pour leur excellent service toujours aux soins - le kids club : nous avons une petite fille de 4ans et le kids club etait un des critères de sélection et le moins qu’on puisse dire c’est qu’elle s’est

After reading plenty of 5 star reviews on Tripadvisor and Google, we booked at Kiha Beach with half-board accommodation. The whole structure is very clean, the room was very nice, the bed really comfortable, the staff very friendly. Still considering that we are not on a resort Island, we rate the structure itself, the rooms and the cleanliness with 4 Stars. In contrast, in our opinion the food deserves max. of 2 stars. While the small breakfast buffet was “ok”, the dinner menu was quite boring. Actually, we were expecting to enjoy every evening a small buffet as we read on all reviews, But in fact, out of the 7 days we spent at Kiha Beach, the buffet was offered only one evening. As for the other days, latest 1 or 2 hours before dinner we were asked to choose dishes out of a menu with one starter, select among two main dishes and 2 desserts. The reason why was probably the low occupancy. Additionally, the staff wanted us to set a fix time for dinner. The food quality was ok, the selection of dishes, however, we found really boring… Ceasar’s salad (all Europeans will probably find the grated parmesan cheese served with it to be terrible) or a soup as a starter. Chicken, beef or tuna fish as main course (the sauces where always quite similar) with a selection of vegetables as side dish that was the same, evening after evening: roasted carrots, potatoes. Ice cream or fruit or chocolate cake or mango custard pudding as a dessert. The mango custard pudding was delicious! For half board customers sprite and cola are included (no need to mention water 😉).  All in all, we rate the price-performance ratio at Kiha Beach not really good.  We were really impressed about the fairness: for health reasons we asked if they would refund us some money if we leave earlier. The management told us, they would refund all the nights we didn’t spend there. It took 3 weeks and several inquiries “where is the money” before we got the reimbursement, but finally the promised amount was credited on our credit card account.  From of the overall friendly staff, we will keep Salim in our heart. A really cool guy, with a fantastic hospitality and helpfulness.  A final comment that has nothing to do with Kiha Beach particularly, but rather with Dharavandhoo itself. We found the island being full of mosquitos (also Asian tiger mosquitos), flies and sandflies. Impossible to enjoy breakfast as buffet and tables were full of flies. Impossible to stay outside or relax on the beach during daylight without repellent, because of the mosquitos and sandflies. For what we could experience, Dharavandhoo does not really have a real/effective mosquito prevention strategy. Especially the area closer to the small forest on the west side is rich of such nasty insects. Therefore, our dream of spending few days with snorkeling and relaxing on the beach vanished short after arrival. During our stay we also learned about 2 persons that contracted a dengue infection during the previous months. O
