Very comfortable and pretty resort, in keeping with the island surroundings. Food was good and the staff were lovely and very flexible with my requests. Highly recommend

Nice escape close to Male

Loved the included breakfast, and the lemongrass electrolytes in the gym! The gym itself was nice too. Great snorkeling right there. Gorgeous beach, sunrises and sunsets! Island is small, but lovely. Staff very helpful, attentive, and accommodating—even when I requested to switch rooms. They also helped sort out my lost luggage with the airport. They have a desk at the airport where they escort you out to the boat, all very simple. They were able to modify meals for allergies. Biggest down side was that the restaurants were closed from 2-7pm which was tough when recovering from jet lag. Otherwise, a great relaxing option close to Male.

4/10 Fair

This is an ideal island to spend a night or two but not a two week holiday , there is very little to do and the water is so shallow around the island it is hard to swim above the coral , there is also almost no available beach

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to get away for a couple days. Really happy we paid to stay in a villa - it was unfortunately raining while we were here so the extra space was very appreciate. All to nclusive is definitely the way to go. The buffet was awesome. Would have been nice if there was a larger pool for all guests to use. The bubble tub on our patio was nice and probably never needs but it need it doing our rainy stay to be usable.

We have nothing to complain about! We had a wonderful time and the staff is incredible. We were treated so well and the place is truly a paradise—fantastic in every way! I’d like to mention some amazing people who made our stay special, especially the chef Riffath and Kritika from reception Thank you all for an unforgettable experience! Alex and Marcela

Nice hotel

Very kind staff. Good breakfast. Nice beaches and sea. Tours are a bit expensive like in other hotels in Maldives. Foods are also expensive as other hotels, better to come as full board. Overall a good experience.

Not bad !
Ramy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The best part of this resort, asides from the per beauty of the island is the people that work there. From Imthyaz, Vanesa, Eni, the Marine Hub Crew, they make you feel so welcomed and are so kind. This time, I also enjoyed the excursions, the food is amazing. I'll keep coming back to Malahini.
Danielle, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice resort, big, clean and very comfy rooms. Beach chairs are quite hard, it would be good if they had some cushions. Very convenient to travel from/to Male airport. Buffet food is nice but a bit bland, not much fish or local food. Very good vegetarian options. Beach is ok, water can get a bit murky at times and there are lots of rocks so beach shoes are recommended.

Mohammed, 6-night trip

No beach service

Everything and everyone there were super helpful and polite. My biggest objection and draw back is the beach service which DOES NOT EXIST! There are no towels offered at the beach you bring the ones provided in your room, there are no pads on the beach loungers, glasses and garbage simply accumulate on the small tables until you remove them! Food was good, room was comfortable, BUT Maldives with lousy beach service is no Maldives!!

The resort was a dream. We really liked the island, you could walk around it in 10 minutes. We had the Sunrise Beach Pool Villa and it was really nice, especially the bathroom was an oasis. The room was cleaned twice a day and the towels and bathrobes were changed, even the pool was checked and cleaned every day. A few steps from our villa you could go snorkeling where you could also experience sharks up close. We had an all-in stay, which I would recommend to everyone because otherwise it would be VERY expensive. The food was fantastic, it really tasted very good (not the usual all-in that you experience in other countries), the chefs Dipak, Souray, Vishal, Amdadul and Rana put a lot of effort into fulfilling every wish and warmly every time Greeted and always had a good mood and a smile on their faces. The waiters were always very friendly and did a great job. We really felt very comfortable and would come again.
