Beachfront holiday rentals in Alifu Dhaalu Atoll

The stay was incredibly comfortable, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. This might very well be the best accommodation on the island. There’s a large restaurant right across from the property, where you can have your freshly caught fish grilled or fried to perfection. This accommodation is part of the Jerry Diving Center, making it the ideal place if you’re interested in diving, fishing, or any other water activities.

This is such a beautiful place to stay in Rasdhoo. The hotel has an own small beach with beach facilities. The staff was very friendly and we always felt like home. Next time in Rasdhoo we definitely know where we are going to stay, that is for sure. We highly recommend this place without any doubts.

It was a pleasure to be on vacation at MIT’s house. Good house and environment. I will recommend it for families! Manager is very reactive and communication was easy.

Great host and very helpful ☺️ Would recommend 👍

A unique and lovely place right on the beach. Amir made sure everything was simple and easy for me from the moment I arrived to when I departed. He made my whole trip feel special.

The room for 2 people plus 2 children was not very spacious, but we only used it for sleeping. Towel change and daily cleaning. The host is few words, but very kind! He came to pick us up after hours due to problems with the ferry and immediately welcomed into the house at a different time from check-in, booked the return ferry and escort to the port. He also prepared a hearty breakfast for us every morning. Highly recommended, it was a pleasure staying with him.

I felt that our stay at Simna’s place would be great even before leaving our home. I didn’t communicate with Simna but her husband Shabyr contacted me before we departed to ensure we had everything arranged before getting to the Maldives. We arrived early on a Friday morning and Shabyrs man was at the airport to greet us. He collected our baggage, bought us ferry tickets to Male and got us onto the ferry. Due to the season (it was Ramadan) our early morning speedboat to the island was cancelled. The next one was late in the afternoon. Shabyr arranged 2 rooms in Male for us to rest while waiting for the next speedboat and had his staff look after us while we waited. Once we arrived at Bodufolhudhoo Islsnd, Shabyrs staff met us again and took us to the hotel. The hotel itself is simple, pretty and clean with everything required for a comfortable stay. It’s in the centre of the village so there is ample opportunity to mix with the locals. Monil was our chef and coffee master, Kawser was our housekeeper and Mohamed was our tour guide. These 3 men were absolutely awesome - friendly and always willing to help. The island itself is not large - it can be walked around in about 10mins but it has a great private bikini beach, 2-3 inexpensive restaurants to choose from, convenience stores that sell snacks, drinks and personal hygiene prices if you require that. The reefs around the island are amazing and filled with sea life. I would recommend asking Shabyr about the daily meal package. That worked out very well as there was no need to worry about drinks and food - we just told Monil what we felt like eating and he would cook it fresh. I would highly recommend seeing the Maldives this way. It was inexpensive and we got the chance to meet and learn about local life and people. Shabyr and his team get a high 5 👍🏻

This boutique hotel is perfect if you're looking for a private, romantic Maldives getaway without big resort crowds. We were treated like family from the moment we arrived—the staff is incredibly kind, always ready to help with a warm smile. Breakfast was unforgettable—fresh tropical fruits, Maldivian tuna in various styles, and lattes. They even climbed a tree for mangoes! The hotel arranged magical excursions with Hamid of Blue Marlin Excursions—swimming with majestic manta rays, exploring a pristine sandbank, and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters with vibrant marine life. We were even provided with incredible videos and photos of the experience!!!! Every detail was seamless, from the golf cart pickup at the dock to the personalized service throughout our stay. This boutique hotel is a hidden paradise where romance, adventure, and hospitality unite. Would we return? Absolutely!

Karan and team were great. They helped us with the entire trip in the Maldives, accommodations, excursions, speed boat transfers. Thank you very much Karan!

Nice hotel, kind staff, swimming pool. I had a good time!

the stay at the ARI Grand was awesome. Nasih and his colleagues helped us with the transfer from Male, recommended activities and answered any questions we had (about the island etc.) breakfast was nice. 5 days - 5 different breakfast boards. rooms were cleaned daily. would revisit anytime, if possible :)

The staff was very nice and helpful . Very nice location. Breakfast was varied and delicious.

The place is comfortable and clean. The staff is professional and always willing to help out. Close to the bikini beach and the restaurants, it’s a great place to stay for a few days.

We stayed a week and haf a great stay, great service! This hotel is probably one if the fanciest places on the island as of now (early 2025). All our requests and complaints were handled immediately. We got randomly upgraded to a suite room and it was really fancy although the toilet was leaking fresh water (this was fixed immediately). The only other complaints we had was that the sheets and towels had old stains, not a big problem tho, and that room service wanted to come in at 8 in the mirning twice which was very odd. (There was no “do not disturb” sign) Breakfast was served in a buffet, different every day, very good tho. The pool also was a great alternative to the ocean in the evening.

Good place to escape from routine work.

Great! Super friendly staff :)

My husband and I came for our honeymoon and had the best vacation we have ever had. The island was beautiful and staying in the bungalow was an awesome experience. The staff at the resort were world class and we felt like royalty staying there. The buffet had a wide range of food too and changed everyday which was great. We did a lot of activities too ranging from relaxing (yoga, massage) to more adventurous (boat cruises, snorkeling and kayaking) - and it was all amazing. The bars and pools are stunning and the one near the bungalows had the bluest water we have ever seen. Cannot recommend this place enough, we didn’t want to leave!

Absolutely stunning. Service staff were incredible. Food was way above what I expected and I will 100% be back

I fell in love with the site! Everything is wonderful! I went on a honeymoon with my husband on the all-inclusive regimen and it was all WONDERFUL! AMAMOS! And the seaplane flight is an incredible experience! But attention, all on-site activities are very expensive! I was told I would have honeymoon giveaways, but the giveaways were: Get a discount on some activity. A massage, with a 60-minute honeymoon discount, leave for $200 per couple.

Excellent stay to discover the maldives for the first time!

Thank you very much for organizing and hosting us for our honeymoon in the Maldives! The experience overall was beyond amazing, we felt very lucky to have booked the sunrise beach villa and it was very easy to get to our villa from the moment we landed in the Maldives until our time to get back home. Everything was squeaky clean and the listing was even better than the photos! The hosts were very responsive and friendly. It felt like we had our private island for a week and we made memories that I'll never forget. I recommend this to anyone visiting the Maldives for either honeymoon or getaway trips! 💯

Wow is the best way to describe this place. We were a bit skeptical booking through Airbnb at first but it was the best decision. Sajjad was extremely responsive and accommodating. He presented us with different packages and we chose the best one for our needs. This resort is absolutely breathtaking and a complete 5 star experience!! From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave you are treated the best. The customer service and staff friendliness is unlike anything we have experienced before. Anything you need they help with. The water, nature, set up of the island and villas are picture perfect. Everything is so clean. So many fun activities to do (at a cost). The food is AMAZING, we were blown away- everyday the lunch and dinner buffet has new options. We spent a few nights in this villa and a few in the beach villa but this one was our favourite. We are hoping to come back next year. If you are considering booking do not hesitate!!
