Hotels near Machchafushi, Machchafushi

Before our wedding, we decided to go on our honeymoon in the Maldives. However, finding the perfect resort among the numerous options was not easy. After carefully considering the recommendations provided by our travel agency, we chose Outrigger Maafushivaru Resort as the best fit for us. We preferred a resort with excellent underwater and lagoon environments, as well as a dive center offering a variety of marine activities, and we believed Maafushivaru matched those criteria perfectly. After our wedding, we arrived at Velana International Airport late at night following a long flight. The next morning, we took the seaplane arranged by the resort and arrived at the jetty. Our butler, Vivi, greeted us warmly and guided us to the resort. Her friendly and attentive care made our 5-night stay enjoyable and comfortable. We stayed in a mix of water pool villa and beach villa. The water pool villa offered a private atmosphere, and we had excellent access to the lagoon just a few steps away. We spent peaceful moments in our private pool, enjoying stunning views of the lagoon and feeling truly happy. Watching the stars at night was another highlight. My wife and I woke up early to gaze at countless stars before falling asleep on Sunset Beach. For our meal plan, we chose all-inclusive type. We enjoyed breakfast at the Cuisine Gallery, basking in the morning sun reflecting off the sea, and for lunch, we dined at Edgewater Bar, where we appreciated the beautiful views of the pool and beach. In the evenings, we enjoyed diverse menus and desserts at Artisan, Moodhu Grill, and Koto. Every food was good and tasty. The service from the restaurant staff was oustanding; they frequently checked in on us, asking for feedback and ensuring our needs were met with thoughtful attention. On our last night, we were treated to a special honeymoon dinner featuring lobster and a beautifully decorated dessert with a congratulatory message. We also had a memorable experience when we spotted a massive nurse shark swimming by the window at Koto restaurant, and during our stay in the water pool villa, we witnessed a group of manta rays swimming nearby. On our final day, while snorkeling, we were mesmerized by a pod of wild dolphins, fully appreciating the resort's natural marine environment. Meeting our butler, Vivi, was a stroke of luck. She took many beautiful photos for us, knowing the best times and spots for great shots. She also adjusted our meal times and marine activity schedules to fit our preferences, which we deeply appreciated. Maafushivaru Resort was our best choice, and it left such a lasting impression that we would love to revisit. If our budget allowed, we would have extended our stay even longer. I highly recommend Maafushivaru Resort to travelers worldwide for its stunningly preserved marine environment and exceptional service!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Perla Dhangethi. We traveled with our 12 year old son and a group of friends staying for 2 weeks and it was honestly the BEST vacation we've had ever... and we travel a ton. The accommodations are very comfortable and provided plenty of space. The beds were extremely comfortable, the AC worked well, the hot shower was always a warm welcome after a long day of EPIC adventures with the Perla staff. We went whale shark swimming, reef snorkeling, manta ray swimming, nurse shark swimming, sand bank snorkeling and lunch, abandoned island exploration and MORE. Our excursions were beyond incredible and the Perla guides were absolute experts. The gursthouse grounds are lush and welcoming. The staff is friendly and warm. What else can I say? This was a 10/10 stay for sure. If you book here you will not regret it. Folks who stay here are not treated like random guests, they are treated like family and that's how we felt the entire time. We can't wait to return.

An extra bed is possible, but there is a charge, I booked directly for 3 people. There are 50 sand houses and 40 water houses built on both sides of the island. I booked the largest high-end water house on the island with a first-class environment. Breakfast is Western-style, with steak spaghetti and so on for dinner.

The hotel is not bad, an all-inclusive island, and I have been on vacation for the second time. All with friends. The hotel facilities are a bit old, I heard that renovations will start next year. You must bring enough tips. The hotel staff on this island generally have a better attitude towards white people, but only you can tip enough. Every night is a buffet mode, but there are different national-themed delicacies every day, and there are many and rich things. The price is once when you eat in a high-end restaurant, and there are three free trips or projects. We went to the local residents island, it is not recommended to go, it is not fun at all and not very good. Seaplanes are charged in US dollars, and overweight will also add money. The hotel toiletries are very average. It is recommended to bring some by yourself, including the snacks in the room, which are not very delicious. Buying things in shops on the island is very expensive, and they are all priced in US dollars. Diving equipment can be taken for free, but it is not very good, and you can bring it home.

The environment is first class, the room is comfortable with a Jacuzzi, and there is a wooden ladder to snorkel at any time. Breakfast has its own special features: Choose from the main island Atoll Market and order a free meal at the Vilu Restaurant on the island. When the water arrives, there will be a special person to receive the introduction. It is also convenient to call buggy from the island to the main island call. The legendary Ithaa underwater restaurant is also very special.

Because I wanted to stay two more nights, I booked the hotel myself on Ctrip. First of all, I would like to highly praise Ctrip's service. No matter what questions I have, Ctrip will patiently communicate with the hotel and give answers. Let's take a look at the Radisson Hotel again. First of all, all the facilities are very new, especially the yachts that go out to sea are the latest and greatest I have ever done. Secondly, the sea view is invincible. Every time I come out of the room, I can’t help but wow. The casual photos are masterpieces. Even if it rains (it only rains on the first day, the weather is very good afterwards), the sea water is also blue and clear. Let’s talk about service again. No matter where you are, the staff on the island will greet you warmly. Every time the car comes to pick us up, the driver will ask you how your day is going. The same goes for the staff in the restaurant. At the entrance of the restaurant, he greeted him from a long distance away, and the butler responded quickly to the message. I read the comments before saying that they are very enthusiastic about foreigners. I think there is a high probability that the British are not good at English, and they can’t communicate with us^_^ In short, this is a very pleasant experience and it is worth the money. If you don't want to experience more hotels in Maldives, I really want to stay at the Radisson next time^_^
