I recently had the pleasure of staying at Arena Beach Hotel in the Maldives, and it was truly a perfect experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service that set the tone for our entire stay.
The hotel itself is stunning, offering breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and pristine beaches. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the modern amenities we could possibly need. Each morning, we woke up to the sound of the waves and enjoyed a delicious breakfast on the terrace, overlooking the ocean.
What really made our stay exceptional, however, was the outstanding service provided by Hasim and Mae. From day one, Hasim went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Whether it was recommending local attractions, or simply checking in to see how we were doing, Hasim’s dedication and genuine care were evident in every interaction. His friendly demeanor and attention to detail made us feel like we were the most important guests at the hotel.
Equally remarkable was Mae, the receptionist, who helped us along our visit and our checkout with exceptional kindness and professionalism. Mae provided us with all the necessary information about the hotel’s facilities and assisted with any request we had, always ensuring that we felt welcome and comfortable. We greatly appreciated her patience and willingness to help in any situation.
Overall, our stay at Arena Beach Hotel was nothing short of perfect. The combination of the stunning location, luxurious accommodations, and the exceptional service provided by Hasim and Mae made it a trip we will cherish forever. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a dream getaway in the Maldives, and we can’t wait to return!

I really liked the atmosphere on Maafushi, very chilled, I wasn't constantly harassed by people trying to get me to eat in their restaurants. I found the island very quiet and peaceful but I was there out of season and I suspect it can get much busier.

The trips on offer are spectacular.
The trips on offer are spectacular. I would advise you understand the type of boat you are going on and check the weather. Salt Beach do fabulous trips and the guys on the boats are great.
We did have a trip with 'Maldivian Fellows' I was very disappointed with this one as they didn't have watchers looking at the people in the water and showed no encouragement to people that were a little nervous like 'Salt Beach' guys
We did the parasailing which was fabulous. We booked this with the guys next to the bikini beach and they were great.
Ive been to the island 5 times now and love its rustic charm although it is getting busier.
I can highly recommend the 'Juice Vibe' for the best coffee and juices. There are lots of restaurants to choose from, my favourites are 'Moonlight' which is situated at the opposite end to bikini beach and the Indian restaurant next to the Kanni hotel. Some of the washroom facilities are not so clean so always carry tissues with you.

People of Maafushi treat you based on the following: if you are white-skinned and living in a resort, you get the best treatments. After that, white-skinned, then brown-skinned in the resort, and the rest are treated like they don't belong in their precious land. Their definition of hospitality means you are meant to agree and not counter when they suggest something. If you have a different opinion, you are rude and disrespectful. The nature is unparalleled, but the locals have a long way to go to learn hospitality.

It is a very beautiful small island with very warm and hospitable people. With azure water and golden beaches. Prices are very affordable, there are several good restaurants.
It was impossible to swim because there are many reefs in the water inside and we caught our feet many times, which is why we could not go into deep water, and near the shore there is waist-deep water. No one has informed us about this. The hotel must inform the guests about such details in advance.
It would be good if there would be a bridge for those who want to swim in deep water, which would give them the opportunity to go directly into deep water.

Public island - so no alcohol/ all inclusive plush.
Public island - so no alcohol/ all inclusive plush. The island is small, had good snorkeling, small shops, restaurants and bikini beach! Everyone is friendly and want to make sure you have a good time. Many options to rent water crafts, fun water sport items. Many excursions that give you exactly as they are advertise. A short trip by boat from Male makes it convienent - not have to spend all day getting to your hotel.
The staff were very nice and cordial. The lady at the reception, Maadi (I hope I got the spelling right) welcomed us at the Port and brought us to the hotel when we arrived in the evening; helped with booking the selected water sports activities and excursions. The rooms were just perfect and very clean as well. Internet connection was very strong. I liked that it was in the more quiet place of the Island, yet easily accessible to everywhere. I stayed in a city view room, but could also see the ocean partially.
Maafushi was the first island we visited in Maldives. We loved this accommodation. The personal of the hotel was so careful and helped us with anything we asked, including the planing of the transport to the island. The room was clean, with a comfortable bed and a fresh smell. The breakfast was tasty and consistent, accompanied with coffee, tea and fresh juice everyday. The location is very good, 5 min walk to the bikini beach. Good restaurants nearby. Thank you for having us and hope to see you again soon!
Affordable option in Maafushi with most hotel amenities in room provided. Excursions or tours can be organised with some require minimum pax. Speedboat ride around 30 minutes from Male and island is calm with many options surrounding for meal or some shops for necessity. Check in went well and smooth check out. Efficient Houskeeping special thanks to Muhammad Suhail from Bangladesh and his fellow colleague for make up service also caring FnB staff for breakfast time.
The staffs were extremely helpful, I would like to mention specifically Kausar who was really caring and helped us throughout our stay. He was our go to person for anything and everything. Jessica also helped us a lot in terms of our queries related to transfers and everything.
Food was good. People of maafushi are really sweet and caring. Hospitality was mind-blowing and we definitely want to come back again to Maldives and stay in Kaani ofcourse!!!
Mr Aswad organized my transportation coming from another island to maafushi.
He is so friendly and aware about small detail.
Note: If you have luggage you must have carrier.
He also upgrade our standard room to suite for free.
The hostel is opened recently so everything is clean and new plus covered by strong wifi.
The hostel has shisha and area for chilling. One of the best places i found in maafushi and Maldives.
Enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The breakfast is easy with some toasts, sausage and coffee.
One of the managers, Ifham, is one of the kindest!
He helped me with choosing which island to go next and even helped me with booking hotels for the other islands.
Also he went with me to book a tour! He helped me with every question i had :)
the room was big and very comfortable. tee and coffee for free in the room. the staff is very friendly and the boss take personally care of you. WiFi connection is very good. and the food that I had for dinner was the best of all islands I visited. definitely the place to be when your in Maafushi. I highly recommend this place.
We stayed there for 4 nights. Mr. Thoha(Taha) gave us all the information about the hotel and island. The staff was very helpful. We had great service for breakfast and dinner. We highly recommend dinner buffet. We joined many excursions thanks to Triton and had a great time. The room was super clean.
Hotel owner Ibrahim was exceptional. Received me when my speed boat arrived and dropped me during my departure. Took me to a cafe paid bill by himself. Showed me planktons. Hospitality was remarkable. I will stay again. Book without much thinking, prices are affordable. My heart is full of joy !
Nice room with a big bathroom…
It was the only hotel in Maldives where I understand the high prices of the hotels there (from 4 we stay in total)
Breakfast buffet was good (even can order extras without pay again …like omelet or hot chocolate)…
Also the stuff was great …
Very clean, welcoming, great staff and very good service. The everyday tours was awesome, the staff make it the most perfect way . The guide Ibrahim Fazeel was the best, professional and took amazing pictures. I definitely recommend this hotel and the tours, good prices.
Pleasant hotel during our stay in Maafushi. Nothing fancy and reasonably priced, which meant we could spend on excursions to other islands. Breakfast was OK. When we were there, staff were super helpful organising tours and transfers. Overall an enjoyable stay.
The staff is genuinely super friendly and helpful. The hotel is very close to the beach. The price/quality is great. It's a smaller hotel, which feels more comfy and home-like, rather than some other bigger hotels on the island.
Amazing hotel, the staff smiling all the time, very good breakfast, location of the hotel its in the bikini beach and easy to reach everywhere in the island, DEFINITELY ill be back at the same island, same hotel 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The staff are really nice and helpful. The room is clean with good balcony space. The beach is right in front of the hotel. The whole island is walkable the supermarket is 3 min walk and many restaurants around the beach.
All the sea trips in maafushi island were much cheaper than any other resort so my recommendation is to stay there for 3 days to finish the trips then move for a couple of days in a nice resort
