Holiday rentals in Rakeedhoo

Amazing place, Rakeedhoo is a hidden gem, a small island of 60 people and 2 guest houses, almost no tourists, the beach is surrounded by a sea lagoon, you can see dolphins and sharks (don’t bite humans) right from the beach which is located 2 meters away from the house living room, the beach literally feels like the back yard. Staff is amazing and cook delicious meals, we will come again soon :)

Stayed there for four days, the room is on the first floor and nearby jetty. Hussain is an friendly host and responsive. The beaches are crystal clear and pristine and just 100 metres from the room you can spend time with string rays and sharks. cafe is just nearby the room and the food is good. If your planning to visit just go ahead as this place is full of vibe. The steps are pretty steep so need to be careful.

I am just back from 9 nights staying at the guest house on Mulah in the Maldives and we had a fantastic time. Adil (Roashanne) is incredibly helpful in helping to organise the trip (boats and transfer to his Island) and his sister Aiminath is very friendly. The accommodation is simple but comfortable and clean, spacious with AC and hot water and a real bonus is the roof terrace which has a kitchen and tables chairs. I was surfing with my son, so having this additional space was really useful, and gives you the option of having your own breakfast / dinners. Reading the previous review I think that a great stay on Mulah depends on what you are looking for and your expectations. If you want to stay on a resort island, exclusively for tourists or you want to go sunbathing on a lounger in your bikini / swim shorts then probably Mulah isn't for you but of course the resorts are a lot more expensive and personally I find them a bit sterile. As Mulah is a living and working island and is not that touristy then it shouldn’t be compared to a resort. The Islanders are incredibly friendly and welcoming and the Island has a lovely feel and pace. It is pretty with palm lined coastline and the houses are colourful and often have lovely gardens and plants surrounding them. The island is small and easy to walk around with little traffic – mainly made up of bikes and mopeds. Next to the apartment is the main beach, which also acts like a square or plaza. Lots of communal areas with rope chairs and is very clean. A great place to sit in the evening and buy a magnum ice cream and watch the crabs scuttle around. There are 2 simple but good local restaurants with terraces with sea views. There are a couple of well stocked little supermarkets. For those who like to be a bit more active then Mulah is really interesting. There is a surf break at the South East of the Island (reef – intermediates and above) and other surf breaks can be visited by boat (you need to bring your own gear). At the North East of the Island is a quieter beach (tidal) which is great for slinging a hammock up and watching the sunset. Lots of fishing options either from the piers or by arranging a boats. Snorkling is an option – lots of fish , rays and turtles but similarly to many places unfortunately the local reef is fairly degraded. The water is clean and very clear. Surfing with turtles was a real highlight ! We surfed and went fishing with a local guide Mode who was fantastic. A note on rubbish – the main beach is kept spotlessly clean by the islanders, but on the other beaches and particularly the palm forests beside the beaches there is a lot of plastic that has swept in. When we visited a resort for a day a large number of people were employed in removing plastic and keeping it pristine. On Mulah this is not possible but the plastic issue is a tragic but global one and an issue that we are all partly responsible for as consumers. That said we found Mulah a lovely place to stay. I’d recommend Mulah and the guest house highly. We had a great time.

Beautiful place just as described. Great communication. Everything went very smoothly!

Our 10-day stay at Nooe Kunaawashi resort in the Maldives was nothing short of extraordinary. Communication with Sajjad was smooth and easy. All staff's hospitality was a standout feature, making our holiday truly remarkable. From the warm welcome to the personalized attention throughout our stay, the staff members consistently exceeded our expectations. Their dedication and friendly demeanor, in particular, made us feel like cherished guests. Compliments to the incredible team at Nooe Kunaawashi for creating an unforgettable experience! Special thanks to Ali ❤️ who took care of our space every day with so much love, creating beautiful artistic surprises! Everything was simply perfect!
