By the Shade

Un’esperienza da ripetere. Staff gentile e attento, il proprietario si è preso cura di noi, anche organizzando escursioni perfette (abbiamo nuotato con lo squalo balena!). La qualità del cibo molto buona con piatti locali ma anche qualche escursione in Italia (pasta ben fatta per chi la cercasse anche all’estero) e pulizia eccellente.

We came back from a day and we talked about you with everyone, from the bar, to the supermarket and even the doctor 😍 you made our holiday unforgettable... Abu you are an impeccable host, attentive in everything and ready to satisfy our every need, thank you. And we also wanted to thank all the staff because you are all fantastic, always ready to offer a smile, to help us with any little thing thank you thank you thank you... We can only tell you that we will come to visit you again and we will send many people to visit you!!! 5 stars are the maximum otherwise I would have put 10 🔝 It's not a goodbye but a see you later ❤️ Ale and Ale 😘

The beginning of 2023 couldn't have gone better!. Beautiful and carefree holiday in a comfortable and very well-kept guest house. Beautiful spacious rooms, with comfortable beds and air conditioning. The bathroom is also spacious. Excellent daily cleaning. We were warmly welcomed with a welcome cocktail and wet towels to freshen up from the trip. Abu, the very kind and thoughtful boss, immediately put us at ease treating us as if we had known each other for a long time. Throughout the duration of the stay he was always concerned, together with all the other staff, about our well-being. We always had points of reference for any of our needs, also advising us on excursions. The food was excellent, varied and abundant, both fish and meat, prepared very well by the chef who really knows how to do his job... BRAVO! The coral reef of the bikini beach is very beautiful with many colorful fish and is also ideal for those who have no experience in deep-sea diving. Everything was fantastic, it went beyond our expectations and they satisfied all our requests. Abu also gave us great assistance on the return trip from the Maldives. I definitely recommend By the Shade. Keep up the good work!!! Thank you.

Ottima struttura, molto curata, pulita e tenuta bene. Il personale è fantastico, disponibile a soddisfare qualsiasi esigenza. L’isola è bellissima così come le escursioni organizzate dal proprietario Abu, persona veramente splendida e ottimo cuoco. Vacanza molto rilassante e ideale per visitare posti meravigliosi.

Given that this is our sixth adventure in the Maldives, the fourth in a guest house, finally after 3 crazy years we returned to this wonderful land, finding for the second time the By the Shade team led by Abu Inaz Ibra Ayaz (for friends) and Dawlot then the chef and Mohamed… a team that guides you in this paradise of enchanted islands… yes because these are the real Maldives… everything else is for those who want something else… knowing many of the guest houses on the island, we must say that here you really feel at home, the thrill of swimming with Manta Rays and Whale Sharks… Digghiri Alikoi, Meeru (dream island or heart island) well… avoid the Eden Alpitour tour operators and contact the facility directly, only they will help you and I guarantee that they will also help guests who rely on these tours or agencies without knowing anything or little about how to get around and how to do the excursions… forever By the shade… and if you need info I will leave my email public francypisa@me.com. Thanks again for everything, we will be back soon.

Very well-kept and welcoming structure, while still creating a total immersion in the local culture. Simple and tasty food. The owner Abu, a wonderful person, always available and present. The staff was very attentive and professional throughout the holiday and especially in the excursions we took (fantastic snorkeling!!!) My partner and I felt welcomed, looked after, not only during our stay, but also in transport, given that to reach the little paradise it is necessary to take a boat that leaves from the island of Male where the airport is located. Very good and affordable prices. In conclusion: GO THERE!
