Hotels With breakfast in Vaavu Atoll, Maldives

Our room comfortably accommodated two adults and two children, although there was an additional charge for the kids. The hotel service was excellent. Even though our children weren't paying for meals, they were still given very generous portions and were made to feel included at mealtimes. The hotel's food is genuinely delicious, ranking among the best on the island. The à la carte options were also great, and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommended!

I had dreamt of staying at this hotel for a very long time; I had already noticed it thanks to its excellent reviews. The main goal was to see the shark feeding. Nowhere else in the Maldives will you find such a huge number of tamed sharks! It's an unforgettable spectacle. Before this, we stayed at another resort, so I have something to compare it with. Although this hotel isn't a resort, it can boldly compete. Everything here is thought out to the smallest detail, with great taste and a huge variety. Everything is so beautifully arranged and organized! The level of service and attention to detail are felt at every turn—from impeccable aesthetics to incredible care for guests. Almost every evening, the hotel hosts some kind of show, like local dances. I was especially touched by the personal touch: we were greeted with a drink and sent off with a luxurious seafood platter and pleasant gifts. It's immediately clear that the owner genuinely loves their creation and puts their heart into every little detail. It's precisely this energy and service that make a vacation truly special. I sincerely thank you for this incredible experience! I wholeheartedly recommend it ❤️

Right after leaving, we already started missing Royal. We stayed here for 4 nights, and then moved to another resort island. Both the elderly and the kids in our family said they preferred Fulidhoo and Royal more. The island has a very authentic, local vibe. Although the rooms aren't huge, they have everything you need. You can dry clothes on the top floor. The excursions offered here are much cheaper than those on the resort islands. The front desk staff are very friendly, and the pizza at the restaurant is absolutely delicious. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

We were picked up at the Velana airport after an overnight stay at the local island, with transfer fee of $40 USD per person to take the speedboat to Fulidhoo, where Kinan Retreat is at. After alighting from the jetty at Fulidhoo, it's a short 5 mins walk to the Retreat. Welcome drinks and hot hand towels were offered. We missed the morning excursion trip but decided to go for it the next day. The room provided can have an extra bed for $15 USD. Fulidhoo is a small local island but it's the favorite hangout for stingrays and nurse sharks. You will be able to spot these lovely creatures around the shore, especially near evening time when there are people who start feeding them. You will be able to get up close and even touch them, but with caution. We went on an evening fishing trip that cost $45 USD per person, inclusive of a BBQ dinner for the dishes that were caught. On the next day before leaving for our resort island stay, we took the excursion trip to see dolphins, snorkeling with nurse sharks at SharkPoint and went turtle spotting, all these for $40 USD per person. Underwater videos were captured and shared by WhatsApp. Great service by the counter lady Shahidah. I will recommend this Retreat to visitors, and you will not be disappointed with the time spent on the island.

We moved from the beach villa to our overwater jacuzzi water villa with ease Upon reaching the room, we loved the view where you'll be able to see sunrise on the left side and the sunset on the right of it. Tried out the jacuzzi pool, swam around our overwater villa throughout the afternoon. We brought bread from the meals and fed the fishes that were always around the villa. During low tide, you could even stand in the water under the overwater villa with fishes swimming around you, all the time. Once in a while, you may see a solo nurse shark swim nearby. The pictures taken are so Instagram-able . Really enjoyed our stay at this resort. After meals, will play at the pool table, air hockey, play darts and table futsal. My son also paid a visit to the gym. There is an Ameera Spa just behind the main dining hall.

The island selection was very successful. In addition to the speedboat being a little far away (acceptable for more than an hour), there is also a seaplane option. The service response, accommodation hardware and snorkeling environment are all great. There are no mosquitoes on the island, and the water houses are even more comfortable and great. The sun set water house is closer to the trench and more suitable for snorkeling. The other water houses have more beautiful sea water colors, and the sand houses look very good. There is not much publicity, and even if the occupancy rate is relatively high, it is still very quiet. The island is not too big or too small, and it is not very tiring to walk and the sea water is beautiful. It is not hot for several days. Everything feels great. The breakfast can be changed more every day! I will come again in the future! The atmosphere of the water house is also good at night, not scary at all

We noticed an unpleasant odor in the reception area upon arrival. Additionally, there were items such as fish and boiled spaghetti left at the front desk, which gave an untidy impression. Overall, the reception area and guest house did not appear to meet expected standards of cleanliness and hygiene.

It was an amazing stay. Sotte was really nice and considerate, took us to to turtles and nurse sharks and arranged speedboat for pick up. It was absolutely wonderful experience, hotel room is comfy and spacious, food was nice as well. 10/10

Останавливались в этом отеле на три ночи Это тихое и уютное место для отдыха с семьей. Персонал отеля супер позитивный и отзывчивый. По прибытии нас встретил сотрудник отеля и помог донести наши чемоданы до номера. В отеле нам дали приветственный напиток и холодные полотенца. В номере все показали и рассказали и проводили нас на пляж. В номере было чисто и у нас уборка была каждый день. Завтраки и ужины у нас были в формате шведского стола, но еда очень вкусная. На пляже плавали с маской и трубкой и видели много красивых рыбок, а на берегу крабиков. При выселении помогли организовать трансфер до следующего острова.

The room is clean, but in the bathroom there is no tissue paper. There is no non-bottled drinking water available outside the room for guests to fill it by themselves. The owner doesn't speak English fluently, communication may be a little difficult, but he tried to communicate with us.
