Seaside Oceanview ★★★★

"The rooms are quite new for this local island; the owner said it only opened in May of this year. The main advantage is that every room has a sea view. We compared many hotels on the island before choosing this one, and we were very satisfied with our stay. They even have Chinese food available, and you can sign up for water excursions through the owner at a reasonable price of $90 USD per person for three activities. There's a 1-on-2 dive guide, and since we're not great swimmers, we needed to be pulled along the whole time – they were very responsible. We also signed up for a trial dive; their hotel is a PADI dive shop with Chinese-speaking instructors, and we took many photos. Overall, we were very satisfied."

La Solara Villa ★★★

Ranthari Hotel and Spa, Ukulhas Maldives ★★★★

"We stayed here for the New Year holidays. The hotel is located right on the beachfront. The staff were friendly and responsive. Breakfasts were standard – as they say, 'you won't go hungry.' We really enjoyed everything: both the hotel and its private beach."

Sunway Ukulhas

"Never met such a good relationship, the curator of the hotel is always on contact and is ready to help with any issue, helped to get to the island, all explained, in all helped, very comfortable to live here. The 3rd floor and 2nd floor rooms are a huge plus. The room is beautiful, there is everything and even a separate parish, only the view is not available, as the hotel is in the center of the island. Breakfasts - food, on the choice of 4-5 options, necessarily try mashuni, national breakfast. All restaurants and markets are nearby, the island is small."

Ukulhas Sands ★★★

"We enjoyed our stay at Ukhulas Sand in the family room, which was perfect for families. The hotel is very well located, right in the center of everything. The room was cleaned daily. Everything was very well maintained and very clean. The staff did everything to make our stay pleasant, and the owner was very helpful. Ordering breakfast through the app was very convenient (and delicious). Beach towels and snorkeling equipment were available for loan (though we didn't use them as we had our own). If we were to return, we would definitely stay here again."

Holiday Haven Ukulhas ★★★

"We have rested in this guest house with a family of 8 nights, cheap in price-quality ratio. Beach is near, shops are nearby. The hotel owner is very responsive, all wishes were performed, the child from the hotel cake was for a birthday present. The room is normal for Asian countries, the courtyard is neatly small. Breakfasts were written in advance what preferably. The room was teapot and cup. Water could be taken in the common kitchen, it was in access. The island liked, we'll come again."

Pearls Apartments ★★★

Sea View Villa Ukulhas ★★★

SeaLaVie Inn ★★★

"A fabulous small hotel on a lovely island: a great introduction to Maldevian life for us. Access by speedboat from Male Airport is straightforward, although strong winds made the crossing rough in the 17 seater Coral Speed Boat: better to travel in the 60 seater, although I think that they decide which boats are used each day. Sheena met us off the boat at Ukulhas and it was a short buggy ride to Sea La Vie. A lovely entrance way leads to an informal reception area where a welcome coconut drink was gratefully received. We were in room 104; a good size with a large bed and a decent en suite. Two open racks serve as adequate wardrobe space, good for hanging not-quite-dry-yet beach wear, although outside drying rails proved very useful for this as well. Limited shelf space and no drawers meant other clothes enjoyed an "al fresco" few days! We were on a B&B basis and we opted for the Maldivian breakfast every day. Very nice tuna (spicy or not spicy ; your choice) with roshi, plus fruit and a fruit drink. It is best to order black tea and a separate serving of cold mild if you want English breakfast tea. The hotel is ideally placed towards the south east coast, with easy access to Bikini Beach, which wraps around the southern end of the island. The beach is excellent and the snorkeling even better. The western side generally provides calmer waters with easy access to the sea. A sandy start leads to 1m to 2m deep rocky areas, before the reef edge appears around 40m from the shore. The numbers and variety of fish are spectacular, and we also saw three different types of eel along with regular glimpses of small sharks. The southern tip of the island has the most impressive beach but the stronger currents make swimming and snorkeling less appealing. The eastern side generally has larger waves and a deeper sea leading up to the reef. Fish are equally abundant on both sides of the island. Fazeel at the hotel organised an early morning (7am) manta ray trip. Just the two of us on a small boat with two crew members for $130. We were lucky to snorkel with a large manta ray, with three close encounters before it got bored of us and swam away. Sitings are not guaranteed and so we were quite fortunate. Fazeel was also extremely helpful in organising a private speedboat to take us south to our next island (Fenfushi), but the weather again proved too windy and rough and he later cancelled this and arranged seats at the last minute on the usual 65 seater speedboat back to Male. We made our way from there on another large speedboat to Fenfushi. Ukulhas is a vibrant local island which is rapidly becoming more touristy. On the plus side, there are already 20 or more restaurants to choose from. The four that we ate at all provided good, simple meals and we generally chose grilled reef fish which can be ordered in differing sizes according to hunger levels! On the negative side, there is a lot of construction work ongoing, but most of it is to the north, away fr"
