Romantic Hotels in Kaafu Atoll, Maldives

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. However, I found the room to be quite small and not as spacious as advertised. It felt a bit cramped, especially with luggage. While it may be suitable for a short stay or solo traveller, it might not be ideal for couples or guests with more space requirements.

Maldives win my heart because of the memorable moment that Kaani give to us. 1st staff : Suman was the 1st person i contact thru whatsapp. She very considerate and help me with the check in. Checkin were very smooth that day. 2nd staff : We had our warm welcome by Tiger at the jetty and he brought us to the hotel. He is very friendly and cheerfull and helps us alot with the activity that we can do during our stay. We choose kaani tour for our shark tour ( of course with a very good price). 3rd staff : Dipya, she was handling F&B, very lovely and soft person. Our breakfast/ dinner time was enjoyable with her around. Very clean hotel. Nice food . Will come again. Thank you 🤍

The room was spacious and offered a breathtaking view of the beach and sea. The proximity to the beach was incredible — we found ourselves enjoying the comfort of the room and relaxing on the balcony rather than spending time on the beach itself. However, the flooring was noticeably slippery, especially after stepping out of the bathroom with wet feet. We had to lay towels down to prevent slipping. This could be a concern for families with young children, as it poses a safety risk. The service experience was underwhelming. The staff appeared rather stern and were not particularly welcoming. Additionally, breakfast was modest with a very limited selection and surprisingly, no local dishes were offered. If you have some flexibility in your budget, I would recommend exploring the nearby restaurants for a more satisfying breakfast experience.

Immediately about the minus. The refrigerator didn't work, although it can be seen as new. It was offered to use the refrigerator at the bottom of the hotel. The hotel provides lying on request, in fact there are unpleasant nuances, on the beach you either don 't find or provide others for which local traders ask you to buy a cocktail. There is a TV in the room, but there is nothing to watch it, just a couple of local channels. TV is not smart that is strange for a 21-year hotel. The rest is fine! The staff is very trying. Everything is new around. Maafushi itself is not the best option to spend a full holiday on it. But it will be perfectly suited as a transit point between the islands or if it is necessary to wait for something in this country budgetally.

Great hotel, we are delighted! We rested from March 30 to April 6, took a water villa with a jacuzzi (300 rooms) 1. Convenient location. Not so close to Male, does not border any industrial islands, so it was clean and comfortable. But it’s not that far, it’s only a 45-minute boat ride, so you won’t get tired after a long flight. The transfer costs $190 per person, which is not that expensive compared to other hotels. The boat is large, beautiful and comfortable. 2. Sea and beach. The water is super, incredible color, very clean and beautiful, the coastline is along the entire perimeter of the island. The beach is different on each side, so you won’t get bored. Somewhere there is sand like flour and a perfect entry into the sea, somewhere there is coral chips, but this doesn’t really bother you, you can swim without special shoes. Also on the eastern side there is a reef and good depth, where you can see fish. The reef isn't super cool, but you'll still enjoy it. You can swim with a mask for hours, it's very exciting. In general, in the Maldives the water is usually shallow and knee-deep, on this island there is no exception, but there are quite a lot of places where you can go deep without touching the bottom with your feet, you don’t even have to walk a kilometer across the sea 😂 masks are available for rent, take your own 3. Villa. We took the water villa with a jacuzzi on the east side, where the rooms are for adults only. The villa is in excellent condition, even better than in the photo, good repair, entry into the water is simply superb. There is little coral on the bottom, so you won't scratch your feet. The ebb and flow of the tides are strong and the water level changes noticeably. But you can always swim. Moreover, from our view we could immediately swim to the reef with fish, this is very cool! The rooms have vests, they are very comfortable to swim in. There are sun loungers on the veranda, so you can sunbathe at home. Moreover, the villas are very private, no one will see you or disturb you. At night you can’t hear the waves hitting the beams, it’s very quiet and calm. The Jacuzzi is super, open-air, it’s great to lie in it at night and look at the stars. The rooms are cleaned constantly and water bottles are filled every day. I really liked that the fish were swimming right under the villa, it was mesmerizing. And at night the fun begins! Fish swim to the light and there are sooooo many of them! Mini sharks and stingrays also swim; they are also present during the day, but less so. In short, the spectacle is fire. 4. Nutrition. We took FB and walked around with huge bellies 😂 The food is excellent, we have never seen such a luxurious buffet anywhere else. There is absolutely everything! You definitely won't leave hungry. A hundred types of meat, seafood, a bunch of vegetables, fruits, restaurant dishes, we actually tried a lot of things for the first time. Separately, it is worth mentioning the desserts, they are the most delicious!!! Breakfast has everything you need, lots of egg dishes, everything for toast, yoghurts and cereals, etc. The full package includes free water for every meal, and juices and coffee only for breakfast. On Sunday there was free champagne for breakfast. There is also a huge cheese plate for every meal, which is a plus for me personally. There is Parmesan, and blue cheese, and Gouda, and Cheddar, in general, all cheeses. There is also cream cheese. 5. Hotel territory. It is very big, there is room to walk, a lot of greenery, real tropics. Free entertainment: ping pong, darts, billiards, table football, regular football, basketball, volleyball. From paid: golf, tennis, badminton, padel and something else. But for all inclusive it’s all free, it seems. We played golf and enjoyed it. There are also water sports such as jet skiing, kayaking, etc. This is all paid, but for all-inclusive it’s either free or a discount, I don’t remember. There are also various excursions, but we didn’t take them. They also take you for free every day to the house reef, a 15-minute boat ride. There really are more fish there, I saw turtles!!! In general, you can go a couple of times. 6. Prices are for reference. Wine in a restaurant starts from $55, cocktails around $16, beer $10, soft drinks around $8-10. Kayaking is 32 dollars per hour, jet skis are like 130 for 15 minutes. Golf 20 per person unlimited time, tennis 20 per person per hour.

New resort on a paradise island. Great beach, liked the guys in water sports - all the equipment is new, working and the staff themselves are pleasant to talk to. The staff in the main restaurant is very smiling. They greet you with drums and see you off wonderfully, very atmospheric. Lots of food, good choice, delicious tuna, sometimes good meat. A lot of everything is included in the meal plan, for us it was even too much. The room is very hot, you can't live without air conditioning. We were at other resorts - there the villas have higher roofs and thatch on top, protecting the villa from overheating. This is not the case here, the villa is burning hot in the sun. The villa itself is very simple, like a house at a recreation center in Russia) there was not enough opportunity to connect the phone to the TV, more modern sockets, chargers. The air conditioner in the beach villa hangs opposite the bed, it is almost impossible not to catch a cold. The room includes a lot of drinks, wine. I don't know who can consume so much. As for me, it is a bit excessive. The hotel is new - there is no vegetation yet, it is very hot to move around the island, as there is no shade yet. There are breakwaters on the main beach opposite the beach villa, I did not see them in the photo. In fact, they certainly save you from the waves, but they spoil the frame) for beautiful photos I had to go to the water sports area. But the island is wonderful! Although not big. This is our third resort in the Maldives, I hope to return someday if the resort grows)

This was amazing place, even despite coming in October during rainy season. Service was exceptional from the begging- person awaiting us on the airport, speed boat transfer late evening, with nice welcome and service (water/towels/wifi) We arrived late evening, so dinner packages were ready in the room. All Incl package was nice however we missed some food in between breakf-lunch and dinner. Issue is wifi which was not working properly/everywhere. Normally i think its ok as we do not need internet on such vacations, but as we needed to work one day it was hard. Again anyways. Great service. Hospitality of staff in restaurant and bar too. Also reception who gave us a chance of later checkout. It was very convenient as we travelled with 2yrs old toddler. Room was spacious, kept clean every day properly + water bottles delivered daily. Good snorkling trips for free provided daily.

I want to share something with my friends who want to book this hotel: We asked the hotel front desk where we can eat local Maldivian food. An old man said that it is difficult to eat Maldivian food in Maafushi because it takes a long time to prepare, and it has basically been replaced by local food. Nowadays, Maldivian women all go out to work, and rarely cook Maldivian food at home, so now young people in Maldives are also used to eating foreign food such as hamburgers and fried chicken. But! The hotel's breakfast is a special breakfast in the Maldives, and it is specially made by someone hired by the hotel. Friends who want to stay in this hotel should remember to try it. Small pancakes, eggs and salad that tastes like fish floss and onions. If it's not enough, you can also ask for banana jam pancakes.

Facilities: Complete facilities, gym with unbeatable sea view, infinity pool. The best hotel on the island. Hygiene: Clean Environment: Like a small resort, a paradise for people, a good place to stare at the sea. Service: Warm and friendly

Very beautiful! This island is relatively small, with few people and quiet environment. The service staff are very nice, the food is also very exquisite, there are snacks and fruits in the room, and there is enough drinking water. You can go swimming and snorkeling directly in the sea from the terrace behind the room, or you can pay extra to take a yacht to go snorkeling, which is nice~
