We stayed 4 nights here and fully recommend this wonderful boutique hotel on Ukulhas for all these reasons (1) Location is fantastic, right on the bikini beach with the house reef for great snorkelling off the shore, and sun loungers and beach towels just for guests. (2) Spacious, bright and tastefully designed, clean and comfortable room with equally spacious bathroom and balcony. Good wifi. (3) Incredible 5-star hospitality - we really have to call out Pravven in particular who is such a gem, always smiling, service minded and so observant, proactive and attentive to the needs of all guests. We were very pampered by him. The hotel helped us with all speedboat transfer arrangements from Malé and to the next island we were visiting which was very helpful. (4) Food - delicious, generous breakfast. We had the Mas Huni with green salad and fruits every day and never got tired of it. This hotel also has a good restaurant (Sapore) nearly next door - we could also conveniently order a takeaway pizza for room delivery on our last night. (5) We arranged a private snorkelling excursion with nurse sharks and manta rays through the hotel and can highly recommend it. It is run by the hotel's own tour agency with their own local captain and guide, and is a responsible tour where you can safely and respectfully snorkel with wildlife in the ocean and receive stunning video footage of your unforgettable experience later). Definitely the highlight of our visit to Ukulhas!

I loved everything

I loved everything: super friendly and helpful staff, lovely spot on bikini beach, tasty generous breakfast, nice room with a spacious bathroom, sunbeds, beach towels, arranging all the transfers. They also own a restaurant 3 mins walk away and serve lovely food. Thanks so much!

This is right on the beach and the amenities are excellent. Rooms on first floor are big and have ample light. Highlight is the lounge area. Owner has even kept a SUP board for use by guests.

Not sure if it’s worth what we paid. We met others that also stayed in nice Hotels for nearly half the price. That’s the only thing we would check next time

The room was beautiful and clean. Right in front of the beach which was perfect. We think that in front of the Hotel it’s the nicest part of the beach! Their restaurant Sapore is also really good!

The breakfast was a bit limited and we had to let them know the night before what we want to eat. Other than that, everything was great.

1. Friendly staff. 2. Great location with mini private beach infront of the hotel. 3. They provided sunbeds and beach towels. 4. Huge room with big toilet ( a bit similar to the ones in resorts). 5. Lovely view from the room

Nothing

We (myself and two kids, aged 10 and 7) spent 9 perfect days in this guesthouse and fell in love with it… Super short distance to a beautiful beach (2 meters) with daybeds for hotel guests and a stunning sunset. Very calm, as this guesthouse has only three guestrooms – very stylish and cozy – with an open (and outdoor) lounge area where you can relax and also have breakfast. The breakfast is very tasty – you can choose between three options, including a typical local breakfast. For lunch and dinner, you can order from the restaurant (which offers a very good price-performance ratio) that belongs to the guesthouse. The team took great care of us – they organized meals, excursions with sharks, turtles, mantas… We met the owners, who are absolutely adorable!

It is definitely the coziest and the most stylish guest house in Ukulhas!! Ayu is such an amazing, warm-hearted person who always meet you at the reception with the smile. We felt home and absolutely didn’t want to leave. Room is big, very comfy and new, shower was amazing. Maldivian breakfast was sooooo yummy!! We fell in love with this island, our accommodation, people, beaches, ocean. Thank you for everything 🐚❤️

Our host was so kind, and she did everything to make our staying comfortable and calm. The room was so spacios with a balcony, and a seaview. The bathroom is huge and beautiful. Our room was cleaned every 2days. The breakfast was totally delicious, and good amount. The location of the hotel was super! The beach was within 5steps away. Local shops are in 5minutes walk. Restaurants are the same as shops. They even escorted us from the speedboat when we arrived to the island, and they got us on the boat when we were leaving, and they made sure that everything was settled. So all in all , it was fantastic, and thanks for everything.

It would be nice to have more storage options for clothes.

The BEST guesthouse on the island! The best location, as the guesthouse is right at the beach, you only have to walk across the street. The room is big and spacious. So is the bathroom. Filtered water is provided at the reception. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Choose the Maldivian breakfast, it is the best!

Very comfortable rooms and hotel close to the beach. Great view from the balcony. Nice and quiet location. Very beautiful beach and very close to the reef. The hotel staff amazing and very helpful. They made us feel like at home. Excellent quality for money.

Sometimes there is no staff in the reception area. What I do is just contact them through the booking app and I get a response immediately.

The hotel is small and quiet! Best part of all was that it's just right in front of bikini beach and in a quieter area too. The room was big enough and the bathroom was big too. The terrace is a nice touch for hanging out. Everywhere in Ukulhas is walkable but also right across is a juice bar which could come in handy during a hot day in the beach.

The accommodation was excellent. The owners and staff were excellent hosts. They were always available for help and advice without being intrusive or overbearing. They helped organize trips at a very reasonable price. At the end of our stay, the host not only drove us to the ferry, but also waited with us for the delayed ferry to arrive. If we were to repeat vacation on Ukulhas, we would definitely choose this accommodation and these hosts. The Maldivian breakfast was very tasty. Thanks again to the hosts for a great experience.

We liked the armosphere around the location, the friendly staff, the hosts, the nearby ocean, good food, interactions, etc.

Stayed in January 2024

We did not have internet in our room, nor service (it is written in the description), but you can enjoy yourself instead🙃. The bed mattress was too hard for us, but this is individual.

We loved everything, the rooms, the distance to the beach, the common area, each guest gets his sunbed, you can choose breakfast - 3 types, perfectly organized, great communication upon arrival. You have more than you need in the room (e.g. iron) You even have unlimited drinking water! (Not common in Maldives). We always had hot water in the shower. Ayu is a really good manager, willing to help with anything at any time. Thank you for everything, we will be happy to come back. We just loved this place.

One of the best stays we’ve ever had. We (a couple) were here for 6 nights. Customer service is amazing. Staff are very friendly, they waited for our arrival at the dock and drove us to the guesthouse and were always ready to help with whatever questions and requests we had. Rooms are very spacious and clean, beach is literally a few steps away and is cleaned every morning. Sunbeds are available free of charge, reserved for Shaviyani Retreat guests. And the beach itself is even better than in the pictures you see on the internet. They also offer various daily trips. We picked a trip to see Manta Rays and Nurse Sharks and it was amazing. Very good price too. I would deffinitely recommend staying here.
