Family hotels and homes in Fulidhoo

We came from a rather bad experience in Kuala Lumpur, so this hotel was such a breath of air. During our 5 week trip, we stayed at 13 different hotels, from affordable hostels to luxurious 5-star resorts and everything in between! Rushkokaa Beach Villa gave us the best customer service of all our stays. What made our stay so memorable, apart from the obvious beauty of the island and it's people, was the warm hospitality, the amazing food we were served by chef Anu, and the great customer service from the most service-minded worker Sufiyan- They felt like family at the end of our 4 night stay and we were sad to leave! It would not be the same without them. They taught us about the culture and they left a lasting impression on us- we made memories and also friends. The hotel is RIGHT ON bikini beach! Food: Where do I even start? For breakfast, they offer us two options: Local and continental. We opted for the local breakfast, which my friend liked so much she kept chasing the same experience on all other hotels, however no other chefs could even compare to the way Anu cooked it! My favorite part was that there were a new dinner menu every day. We got two options, and me and my friend would order one option each; that way we got to taste 8 different dishes- all so good!! You tell the chef the day ahead if you'd like dinner and at what time, so he can shop for groceries. It made it such a personalized experience. I told him my favorite food, and there were at least 3 dinner options with that ingredient. On our last night, they prepared a beautiful dinner on the beach under the stars. Unforgettable! In comparison the other hotels in Fulidhoo had MEEH americanized food. If I could re-do my trip to the Maldives, I would cancel my stay in Gulhi altogether, and stay at Rushkokaa longer. I can not emphasize enough how the two staff Anu and Sufiyan and the food made the stay as great as it was. You can not go wrong with booking your stay at Rushkokaa Beach Villa.

A lovely place to stay during our time at Fulidhoo. We were picked up from the staff at the jetty and had a welcome drink on arrival. The room was spacious with a private balcony and a small clothesline. The bed was comfortable. The room was cleaned daily and bedding and towels (beach and bath) were changed after 2 days. There was access to coffee/tea and bottled water all day. The staff were always very friendly and were never too far away if we needed to ask a question. We were able to organise an excursion to swim with dolphins, turtles and coral garden for $55USD pp. There was free access to snorkelling equipment and beach toys. Complimentary Maldivian breakfast was great! Lunch and dinner are also available if ordered ahead and was pretty good. The island is small (only 700m x 200m) and Cowry Inn was very close to the bikini beach. However all beaches were walking distance. There are restaurants, souvenir shops and convenience stores located close by. The mosque is close by and the call to prayer is easily heard from the accomodation, however this wasn’t too disturbing and was part of the expected experience of staying on a local island. We arranged a public ferry $4USD pp (only on certain days of the week) to and from Male, but the motel also offered to arrange a speedboat for us for $40USD pp which run twice daily. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and felt like we were part of the Cowry Inn family.

Everything was great! They helped us organise our trips and made our stay very pleasant! Also the food was very delicious. Big thank you to the Chef!

Madi Grand Guesthouse was an amazing stay. Shariq and the staff there were so accommodating, hospitable and generous throughout my stay and helped with carrying my luggage, helped with arranging transfer to Male and helped with anything else I requested. The location is perfect and I will definitely come back to this place in the future. Thank you Madi Grand!

They welcome us and treat us very well! Also every day they change the breakfast so we could eat different things. The tour guide took amazing videos of us.

New and very open to improve. Very friendly staff and nice food!

Very good breakfast, helpful staff. Very clean room. Our room have a terace which beautiful beach view. Highly recommended place on the island.

As stated in other reviews, Moosa was the perfect host! He was very helpful with infos, organizing activities, giving tips on what to do, and I must mention, the place is right in front of the beach, which gives you a wonderful environment to relax and just admire the sea. His staff was excellent as well! Truly recommended!

Great place in Fulidhoo. Staff is simply amazing, the housekeeper Misu was the best I have found in the Maldives. Would come again!

Loved the location. The room was clean and spacious, with a big balcony facing the beach. The staff was courteous and very helpful. They picked up the luggage from the jetty and dropped it as well. The dinner arrangement was awesome, with tables set right at the beach.
