ina silvi cottage Room 4

Maria Rating, 5 stars7 months ago

We stayed 2 adults and 3 young children for 3 weeks and I must wholeheartedly thank mama Silvi that we have felt quiet, safe, integrated, cared for and respected like nowhere else we have been. A hardworking woman, honored, fair, fighting for her community. Exceptionally respected by everyone who knows her. A person who has left us a deep imprint and an example for our children and for us. In Ina Silvi Cottage there is nothing and nothing else is needed. Luxury is the place, the authenticity of being part of the local community, the human quality of the inhabitants of this paradise that she keeps, serene, so impeccably. The world needs a lot more mama Silvi.

A wooden house on stilts is situated amid lush greenery, with a red roof and a wraparound balcony. Two chairs in bright colors are placed on the lawn, while a calm waterway runs beside the property, surrounded by palm trees.

VINI'S FARM own an island for 2couples or 4 Adults

KunalRating, 5 stars99 months ago

Highly highly recommend this place. The manager, chef and grounds men are at your disposal and strive to make your experience pleasurable. This included taking a 4 am canoe ride into backwaters that neither a house boat or car can access. It's truly a wonderful experience to stay at Vinis farm.

Crystal-clear turquoise waters stretch out towards a sandy beach, framed by lush palm trees. The gentle waves reflect the bright blue sky dotted with white clouds, creating a serene coastal atmosphere that invites relaxation and exploration.

Authentic Maldivian style

LauraRating, 5 stars12 months ago

This was definitely our best holiday ever! We really had the feeling that we are in Avatar movie!😊 The perfect beauty of the nature and the amazing soul purity of the people are overwhelming… If you are looking for a fancy place, this isn’t the right place for you. But if you are looking for a deep authentic experience, this is the best place you can find! You will feel immediately like home and Hathim and Athif as family. ❤️ The house is directly on the beach, so you will eat under the trees with your feet in the sand and the sound of the sea in your ears…. Mocki was our chef and he prepared us a lot of tasty surprises, he is cooking very, very well!… 😋 We asked for local food and fresh fish and we were always heavenly happy! 🥰 The best point for snorkeling is right in the front of the house, you have to make only few steps and the coral recif is there❤️ The richness of the sea is amazing, so many colors and shapes!… We will 100% come back!🥰

Thundi Village, Maalhos, unesco Biosphere Reserve

AmelieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We spent fantastically beautiful days here! The hotel is very clean and equipped with air conditioning and TV with Netflix. It has a perfect location right on the beach and only 2 minutes' walk to the bikini beach. The diving school and boat rental are also in the immediate vicinity. There is a dining room with sea views and the breakfast buffet is included. There is always fresh juice and toast as well as English and regional hot specialties and fresh fruit. Half or full board can be booked for an extra charge. The evening buffet offers a variety of Indian, European and local specialties. Vegetarians also find their way around the buffet! There is always soup, salad, several main courses and dessert. A very big compliment to the cook Chamika! All employees are absolutely friendly, helpful and always there for you. The beach is very clean and natural, as are the reef and lagoon. All in all, a little gem!

Island Villa - Kadamakkudy

ArshinRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had a wonderful stay at this place- Koovalapoo Island Villa ! The location is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by water, making it a peaceful and scenic retreat. The place was exactly as described in the listing—neat, clean, and well-maintained. A special thanks to Mr. Prasad, the caretaker, who made our experience even better by assisting with check-in and ensuring we got our meals on time. His hospitality was truly commendable. Overall, a great stay, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

A pathway lined with lush greenery leads toward the shimmering waters of the backwaters. On the left, a wooden structure complements the natural landscape, while palm trees and flowering plants enhance the serene atmosphere.

Lake Supreme- eco-friendly backwater Island resort

VenkateshRating, 5 stars51 months ago

My wife and I spent 3 days here. The island is secluded and perfect for a getaway. I loved that you can only reach the location via boat. We were the only guests on the island when we went; we had the island to ourselves. The service was spectacular! I cannot say enough about the service Ajith and the rest of the crew provided. Ajith was very resourceful and helpful in providing info regarding what to do in the area. He personally arranged for us to experience the local Kathakali dance! Other crew members were always there to help with anything we needed. The food was good. The room was spacious, clean, and had a great view of the lake. The only issue was that wifi was spotty throughout the stay. Overall the stay was wonderful and would love to go back again!

Chic Water Villa Over Stilt

RachelRating, 5 stars1 week ago

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!

One Bedroom Water Bungalow

ChristianRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had a great stay. Everything worked as expected. Everyone was sweet and we got a personal service on the island. We were already met at the airport, and were guided all the way via seaplane to the island.

Water Villa with Private Pool & Slide

AlonsoRating, 5 stars2 months ago

I’m a worldwide traveler and an airbnb Host myself. The host team did a great job arranging the seaplane back and forth from Male airport. The pictures of the property didn’t really showed how beautiful this place is. You are actually coming to a super large 5 star resort with many swimming pools, many bars, many restaurants and a lot of activities to do. We stayed 5 nights only and felt at home and like we needed 1 more month to really enjoy and discover the entire resort. All the staff were super friendly on every single place we visited. The beaches are something to remember like a movie postal each one of them. Couple of years ago we visited Bora Bora & stayed in an ocean bungalow there as well, and though we wouldn’t find another gem like that. Well, we all think we were wrong. This place in Maldives surpassed Bora Bora by a mile. Definitely will back in the future & will contact the Host once again for a great & unforgettable trip. Super super highly recommended. Thanks again.
