It was our first trip to Maldives and we went with our kids to this beautiful island of Gaafaru. There were stayed at Niru Isles and had the most wonderful time. The beds are the coziest, the food was delicious, it was a home away from home. We did snorkelling all organised by the owner of Niru and his brother. Every little detail of the stay was taken care of, from pick to drop back to transfer. We made amazing memories, and very grateful to Niru Isles for making it possible. We can't recommend this place enough! Two thumbs up!

Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and full-day security, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area.

We spent 15 days in the guesthouse. We traveled with a child and comfort was important to us. The guesthouse is very small and extremely cozy. Very clean and tidy rooms, great location on the island, beautiful courtyard with flowers. But the most important thing is the team. This is truly a dream team! Adam phoned us in advance and discussed all the transfer issues. Ziya solved all our questions and took care of every little thing - transfers, activities, equipment, island tips, family photos and videos - everything was organized at the highest level. The amazing chef Shakeel cooked very delicious food, always asked our wishes, specially prepared food for our picky daughter and she was very pleased. Thank you friends, we really hope to visit you again.

Each villa sits right on the beach or over the water with living areas accompanied with a flat-screen TV and a private pool. The breezy, spacious villas host a choice of spaces in which to eat, drink, relax from the rooftop relaxing areas to the sun terraces treating guests to panoramas of the Indian Ocean. The oversized private bathrooms with a bath and a couples rain shower, are all supplemented with an outdoor shower.

The island offers pure relaxation. It already starts at the airport, where the friendly groundstaff immediately starts taking any weight off your shoulders and takes care of all formalities. A big shoutout to Nafeel who constantly provided us with updates on the status of the seaplane. Upon arrival on the island, your personal butler takes care of all formalities and you are guided to your villa within minutes. The villas are spacious and very well equipped, in particular a Dyson hairdryer, outdoor shower, two sinks, a freestanding bathtub and a giant rainshower within the bathroom. The bed is comfortable and, of course, has ocean view and electric curtains. The patio offers various seating possibilities as does the rooftop. If you are a stargazer you can just lie there, have a drink and watch the stars and the moon go by. Each water villa has direct access to the sea where you can snorkel and discover all sorts of fish (including reef sharks and rays which we could spot as well). The villa was very well maintained and housekeeping did a thorough job in cleaning and refilling twice a day - if only other hotels would take such good care! Everything on the island is in walking distance, but the staff is also happy to take you with a buggy. The dining outlets are excellent and offer a great variety of food. Especially the breakfast buffet has everything you can ask for plus an impressive menu for freshly made egg and other dishes. The staff is attentive, fast and really thorough. The ice cream parlor is another benefit of this ressort. Homemade and tasty. And if you crave good coffee, the Cafe Lounge has what you need. Overall, our stay has been terriffic and relaxing because everything was so well organized. We will certainly visit again.

    Niru Isles is a lovely guesthouse, ideal for families. Gaafaru is a very chilled small island, with a beautiful bikini beach (though all the coral is dead :(). So in a nutshell: great hotel, although if you are like me very sensitive to noise, tell the manager early on, as with the families, he might have to adjust the rooms etc. M. Hashan is very nice, and in general people on Gaafaru are very amenable with tourists.

    The location is ideal. nearby the arrival jetty, tourist beach and restaurants/cafes. The guesthouse is newly renovated and has all the standard amenities and balcony. Scuba diving was amazing and organised through the guesthouse. The local reef is stunning and the staff are all extremely nice and accommodating.

    Amazing staff, clean and very comfortable room and very yummy food. Everything is perfect from the day we arrived 'til the day we leave. Thank you very much Zia and the team for arranging the turtle snorkeling trip, the best experience. That make our holiday exceptional. Highly recommended and will definitely going back again. Not to forget that the guest house is only 2-3 minutes away from private bikini beach. Keep up the good work guys.
