We had an excellent experience at Arena Beach Resort, thanks to Ms. Hazel at the reception. She truly made our anniversary and honeymoon special, even though we stayed for just one night in the Maldives. We were warmly welcomed with a beautiful bed design, and during dinner, we were surprised with a cake and a lovely ‘Happy Honeymoon’ greeting. These thoughtful touches made our stay unforgettable.
However, there are a few areas for improvement. Before our arrival, we had clearly expressed our interest in visiting a luxury resort, but unfortunately, we weren’t informed that this would no longer be possible after 10 am. Since we arrived just after 10 am, there were no rooms available yet. While waiting, a gentleman at the reception kept pushing the hotel excursions and seemed to divert our questions about room availability. We ended up leaving the hotel to explore and fortunately found a private tour that accommodated us, even though it was almost 11 am.
Additionally, there were no lifeguards on the beach, so guests who aren’t confident swimmers should be cautious.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay on Maafushi Island, and we’re grateful to Ms. Hazel for her exceptional hospitality. If you’re booking at Arena Beach Resort, be sure to ask for Ms. Hazel, for a wonderful experience."

Maafushi was the last stop on our 9-island-hopping Maldives trip, and after staying on much quieter local islands, in small guesthouses, Kaani and Maafushi was a shock to the system! It's your typical hotel affair, lobby, buffet restaurant, very friendly atttentive staff, branded sun loungers and parasols. The breakfast was good, and our room was great with a modern bathroom and small balcony overlooking the island. Communication with the hotel prior to arrival was very good, even when we did change our mind about our speedboat time! Maafushi itself is very touristy, neon signs and cheap souvenirs, high rise buildings and building work going on everywhere, water sports vendors line the road, restaurants were twice the price and half as good as other local islands, and the call to prayer was replaced with house music and Bob Marley. As one of the first local islands opened to tourists, it has that "Thailand backpackers from 20 years ago" feel to it which is exactly what we were there to experience. Kaani is one of two big chain names on the island, both with multiple hotels, and their own shops, restaurants, water sports, and excursion vendors. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend if you're looking for a Maldives hotel experience at a fraction of the cost of the resorts with lots of holiday activities to choose from.
Facing the beachfront, Triton Prestige Seaview and Spa offers 4-star accommodation in Maafushi and features an outdoorswimming pool, fitness centre and garden.

Very well appointed resort with great food options, excursions, wide selection of beverages and the wind villa with pool was amazing as well. Staff were warm and friendly and went over and beyond to please us.
If an island paradise of chic simplicity in a charming adults-only tropical setting is what you need, the white sand and azure waters of Anantara Veli Resort will provide the perfect setting.

Our honeymoon at Anantara Veli Maldives Resort in May was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The stunning overwater villas, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking views created the perfect romantic setting. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, with thoughtful touches and impeccable service throughout. The dining options were exquisite, and each meal felt like a celebration. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect start to our married life, and we’re already dreaming of our return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a luxurious and romantic getaway!

We got back from Como Cocoa Island a week ago and we had the most wonderful relaxing stay (even with a 7 month old baby). We turned up at the resort and from the word go we were made to feel very special. We landed at Male airport and were met by the Como Cocoa representative at arrivals where it was a short walk across a road to the boat. Here we got ice cold towels and a bottle of cold water which was just what was needed after a 9.5 hour flight. After 40 minutes we arrived at the resort where Wisam and his team greeted us on the jetty with coconut water and a tour around the island to get to our room. The island is small but absolute perfection. All the staff provide 12 out of 10 customer service, they really do care about the guest experience - a big thank you inparticular to Fanny, Sulthan, Anura, Nattey and of couse Wisam who ensured we had everything we needed 24/7. Our accommodation was out of this world, clean, modern yet with Maldivian touches. We based ourselves on our private terrace most days to enjoy the view whilst our baby boy could nap in the shade or in his baby travel cot which was provided by Como Cocoa Island. The food every single day was incredible- delicious and beautifully presented but not forgetting to mention the weaning menu they also provided for our little boy who was well and truly spoiled and looked after. We would also highly recommend enjoying the dishes on the themed night dinners too. Even though we didn't snorkel much just seeing the fish, sharks, rays and turtles from the jetty was incredible. We also enjoyed a massage at the spa each which we both said was one of the best massages we have had and the inside pool area is also beautiful. Overall, it was an unforgettable first family holiday with our baby boy and we hope to be back very soon! Thank you to the team at Como Cocoa Island!
‘Does it have a pool?’ is arguably one of the most common questions when booking a stay in any location. These hotels offer a great way to keep active during your holiday without having to hit the gym. Indoor pools allow you to practice your backstroke come rain or shine, whereas outdoor options allow you to relax on a sun lounger after swimming a few lengths.
I liked the location, the breakfast but the highlights of our stay are definitely the friendliness of the staff and the pool! Getting to relax on a swimming pool after hours of snorkelling was awesome. Also the price was excellent.
The hotel was very clean with modern furnishing and amenities. I liked the privacy of the swimming pool. You need a card to get up there. The buffet at the hotel was very delicious most especially the seafood soup.
Magic Mike did a great job of breaking down for us about Maafushi and all that we could explore.
The first thing we loved about the hotel was how friendly, helpful and polite the staff was. From the front desk with Magic, the restaurant (Shawal was excellent) to the full-day boat tour with Jilli, Jacky, Sadheedh, Budde, and Rafeeq. All of them made our stay unforgettable. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The infinity swimming pool is amazing to relax and have a beautiful view of the sunset. They have many activities available with different price ranges to choose from. Bikini Beach is steps away from the hotel.
I really enjoyed my stay at Triton Prestige... it was amazing 4 unforgettable days at Maafushi! The staff was very helpful, the room was outstanding... the swimming pool had an amazing view. Great shower, great location! I'd definitely stay there again!
Everything was amazing! The staff was so nice and helped us with everything we needed. The food was great and the location just perfect. Waking up with that ocean view was magic. Very clean rooms, amazing room service. Outstanding swimming pool! And the tours they provide are very well organized. The pictures and video were beautiful, above expectations and everything was perfect in the tours and water sports packages. Loved it! 😍
