Reviews of Luau Beach Inn, Maldives

Where do I start!? My stay was AMAZING. The hotel is well equipped and organized, their values and sustainable policies are admirable. Our room was clean, comfortable, spacious and luminous. The activities provided by the hotel were up to our standards. Food was nice as well, staff was chill and well prepared. We enjoyed every minute.

I'd suggest to list each ingredient in the menu's dishes and maybe plan at least one social night in a week to gather the guests together.

Absolutely loved everything about Luau beach inn! Linda and Abhlo are the perfect hosts. One of the best guesthouses I have started at in Maldives. Rooms are comfy, food is excellent, thanks to whole team... Mike, Basi, Sharuaan, and everyone else. Beautiful bikini beach with clean soft sand, snorkelling excursions, diving is excellent. Will be coming back for sure!

Our room facing the sea and we enjoy it very much the view. Staff was very attentive and smile all the time. Breakfast was excellent although they rotate the menu every other day. Beach was awesome and we enjoy our snorkeling trip with Luau Beach Inn as well. Hope to come back again!

Price of the food a bit on the high side but I guess this applies to all other places as well so you got what you paid for.

Everything, the food at the hotel is tasty, we booked a room with seawiew , high standard ! You get free sun chairs at the beach with parasoll, beautiful beach! You have free water every day, that’s perfect. Everybody working at Luau Beach Inn give you the best service, whenever you need help. We did some great snorkling with the team at the hotel with boat, but if you want snorkel by yourself you can do it on the island.

Great service, friendly people, lovely location and perfectly maintained building. Restaurant food was to die for too. Trips were fantastic , we absolutely would stay again.

Nothing

Every little detail in this hotel is so well thought of. From the room with the wonderful sea view that is equipped with all the extras like right amount of lightning, storage, space and an actual soft bed (which is unusual in the Maldives). The service and friendliness from everybody, from the owner, the front desk and the service staff is so genuine and show a great love and pride for their profession and the Maldives. They are happy to share that with you and it feels like you get a nice insight to the culture. They also work hard and passionate with environmental thinking (such as water stations iso plastic single use). The facility is disabled friendly, the restaurant is really fine dining at good price/value. They have their own in house café with real coffee and pastries. Bikini beach is right next to and they have sunbeds and umbrellas available. We send our gratitude to all hotel staff for making our last days at Maldives island hoping such a wonderful time and if we return we’ll come to here again

A very pleasant stay with quality services, attentive and helpful staff with a nice beach.

Everything was perfect! The location is wonderful, the staff is friendly, the food is delicious, very clean! We made the best choice! Thank you dears and we hope to come back soon! 🏝️🌊☀️🥥

There is nothing we didn't like!

We had been to different islands and resorts during our 14 days holiday. Luau Beach Inn in Fulidhoo was the most memorable place for us. The staff is amazing and kind! They made us feel like we were appreciated and they were very attentive. We had a hard time saying our goodbyes and will for sure be back. The place is family owned which you can feel. We had many long talks with one of the owners, who shared many stories and anecdotes about the island and marine life. They offer many water sports and have several daily excursion opportunities. They are sustainable in their approach to doing business and they take marine life into account.

The front desk staff super helpful thank you Linda and Basit! I think is definitely the best hotel on the island Their food is definitely the best on the island! Rooms are clean. Very welcoming and they arranged the speedboat transfer and Eva’s had someone guide us which was super helpful.

We did have an issue with the shower water not going down, took half an hour to fix, but the following days it smelt bad. I did inform staff but not sure if it was looked into or not. We booked Divers lodge Fulidhoo which is based on their premises for a snorkeling trip. I was given a snorkel without the important splash guard and the captain of the boat pointed this out to me as I was swallowing lots of salt water which consequently made me really sick. They didn’t even have a spare on board.This ruined my experience and I didn’t stay in water long as I was struggling to breathe! I spoke to two staff about this but I wasn’t given a suitable answer, in fact one member of staff said none of their snorkels have the splash guard which is a lie as my friends had one and so did others when I checked later. I’d definitely wouldn’t recommend this dive company if safety is important to you! I’ve added a picture of the two snorkels they provided us and second picture of snorkels they have at the centre.

Beautiful setting, friendly helpful staff, spacious comfortable room, excellent food in rooftop restaurant

People should be aware that it is next to a mosque with regular calls to prayer over a loudspeaker. As long as you know this then you are prepared.

Location and staff

Family run hotel and fantastic athmosphere😃 Excellent service Brilliant food

Our stay at luau has been absolutely beautiful! The property is amazing, the location as well and the food is probably the best on the island! Everyone from the staff was super nice and a pleasure to be with. Can’t wait to be back!

nice environment and hotel right on the beach.

Sometimes you can smell sewage in the shower. At five o'clock you are woken up by a prayer from the loudspeaker. But nothing serious. When you visit Muslim countries, you have to take this into account. It is just a pity that the locals do not respect their island and do not try to clean up the garbage.

Very nice room with balcony and seaview. The breakfast was buffet style during our stay, a reasonable amount of choices and good quality of items. We also decided to have dinner most nights at the restaurant as well as lunch snacks at their cafe, all very good. The staff was very helpful and friendly, they were quick to respond to all our questions. We went on 2 excursions organized by them which were also great. The bikini beach is right next to the hotel and the staff helped us with sunbeds and umbrellas to that one. This was really helpful as we didn't always find any public ones available.

From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome, and we didn’t want to leave at the end of our week’s stay. Our gorgeous sea view room was impeccable and was cleaned everyday. The air con was sweet relief on this hot island, and the Wi-Fi was good. The restaurant on the top floor offers the best dining view on the island and we really can’t praise the whole staff enough. Special thanks to Linda, Basi, Abhlo, Lashan, Kethshan, Mafu, and Fayyaz for going above and beyond to look after us during our stay, making it extra special. We applaud the small eco-friendly touches which are no doubt having a mighty impact on the environment. We can’t wait to return to see the staff and the positive changes they are having, working together with the community on this beautiful local island.

The wonderful sounds of the mosque fill the air 5 times per day. We enjoy this sound, and simply checked prayer times to avoid dining at the same time, due to the minaret being positioned next to the restaurant. Once we got used to the timings, it was no problem for us.

Cheerful is one word I would use to describe this property. Welcoming. Feel at home. Small boutique property in an utterly wonderful location. Personalised service levels that are just not possible at large resorts.

If you’re looking for a luxury property - this isn’t for you. This place requires a higher level of taste. I am so happy that few value this kind of service and hospitality and that it’s not overtly crowded.

Linda and staff are exceptionall: From the moment you arrive at the pier, the staff are friendly, engaging and professional. They make you feel like family. Food is great and rooms are comfortable and stylish. Pay a bit extra for an ocean view room, it's worth every cent. Can't recommend highly enough.

Absolutely nothing.

The position, the amenities and the marvelous staff
