Family hotels and homes in Mathiveri

The experience was exceptional from the moment I arrived in the Maldives, the staff were always available to answer the questions and solve problems and dilemmas. The representatives of the guesthouse met me at the airport and at the harbour, so the journey from the airport to the accommodation was extremely easy. The hotel is located in a good location, close to restaurants and shops, the local beach is in front of the hotel and the hotel offers a beautiful seaview. The facilities are well maintained. The rooms are new, nicely furnished and very clean! They changed bed linen every three days. They also provide hairdryer. The shower pressure is weak, but this is a problem everywhere in the Maldives. Drinking water is available 24 hours a day. The staff is extremely friendly and available for any questions, Farhad and Shohag immediately organizes any trip you want, don’t miss snorkeling with manta rays and nurse sharks. Snorkeling equipment is available at the guesthouse. Chef Mauroof prepares the best pancakes in the world and you must try the seafood from his kitchen. Thank you guys for an unforgettable experience, I will definitely be back.

There are no words to describe this incredible experience at Mathiveri, a small island with simple but very kind and hospitable inhabitants. It has magnificent beaches with free sun loungers and swings, an easily accessible sand island, and a soothing sense of tranquility. Staying at Velana Vibes made us feel at home. Munzir, the owner, was always available to meet any request or need. We could use the kitchen, fully equipped for preparing our meals, the lounge area for working or enjoying conversations with friends, the machine ready for free coffee and tea at any time, and safe drinking water was always available. We are certain that Velana Vibes is the most well-maintained accomodation on the island -new and aesthetically the most beautiful, with very spacious rooms with large bathrooms and all the necessary comforts. Munzir also runs a minimarket, and his stepmother owns a souvenirs shop, ensuring that guests have access to everything they might need. He personally arranged our speedboat transfer from and to Malé, picked us up at the port, and took us back with luggage transportation included. On the first day, he even organized a mini-kart tour of the island, as a courtesy from him, so we could get to know it better. Munzir is supported by Imma, the talented chef who prepared our breakfasts and meals on deserted islands (even for special dietary needs), as well as an excellent organizer and tour guide for customized and private excursions. What really made this experience truly magical was feeling among friends, having evening conversations with Imma and Munzir, who gave us advice, clarified doubts, and helped us understand the local customs, culture, and history. They shared jokes with us and even taught us a few words in their language. On the morning of our departure, we received a wonderful surprise: a delicious chocolate cake with 'We will miss you" written on it. It left us speechless. Baraabaru!

I have been looking for cheap, simple but comfortable accommodation and I definitely found it! Ever Blue Guest House has only 4 rooms with share livingroom and also terrace dinning and kitchen which I could use. Room: comfortable bed (I like hard mattress), small fridge, TV, AC, fan, hairdryer, spacious bathroom with toilet, towels, beach towel, drying rack, daily water. What else do you wish for? Room was daily cleaned which I didn’t need. Breakfast: They always asked me what time I would like to have a breakfast and what would I like to have (I am not breakfast person plus have GF diet). I end up just with eggs and fruit but have been offered pancakes, sausages etc. Kitchen and dining area: I could use the kitchen and make my own food, coffee, tea. The great addition are also ceiling fans in dining area (they are actually everywhere) as when it’s really hot and humid this helps massively. I have to say huge thank you to the owner for helping me when weather was extremely bad and public boat was cancelled. He managed to find a private boat to take me to my next island. It was lovely to talk to him every evening and learn about his family, life on the island and much more.

The room was very nice and clean, the guesthouse staff were all super friendly. Breakfast was amazing, with fresh fruits and juice! The guesthouse is located very close to the bikini beach and the Finholu.

I really liked this place. One could feel the care on the part of the staff and the interest in clients having a good time. The hotel was very welcoming and listened to all your needs. The staff is wonderful, and special thanks to the chef for the huge portions of delicious fish that we ate every day. Also thanks to the chef for the evening of national dishes. It felt like you were in a circle of friends, perhaps thanks to the other residents of the hotel. It was also the first time I remembered the names of all the hotel staff.;)) Tip: be sure to take sunscreen with you, as it is not always available in stores on the island. In the first days, do not go to the "picnic" island )) And, if you have time, then take a ride on a public ferry, where you can admire the beauty of the ocean and see dolphins. My only regret is that I only took it once during the trip. Overall, I recommend it 100%; for me it turned out to be better than other five-star hotels (I won’t name names). If you are young and love to explore the culture and cuisine of other countries, then this is definitely the place for you. And in general, book, I think you won’t regret it.

quite big ,comfortable family room (1 double bed, 1 single bed), clean, nice shower very good lunches and dinners - very tasty local food !

**Review for Aqua Heaven Inn, Maldives** I recently had the pleasure of staying at Aqua Heaven Inn, and it truly exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. They met me at the ferry station and ensured a smooth transfer to the hotel, and they even arranged a speedboat for both my arrival and departure from the airport. It was all very convenient and stress-free. I had a half-board booking, which included both breakfast and dinner. Personally, I found the food to be fantastic and just the right amount. The meals were always fresh, flavorful, and reflective of the local Maldivian cuisine. The atmosphere during meals was intimate and relaxed, often with views of the beautiful surroundings. The room itself was very comfortable. The A/C worked perfectly, keeping the room cool after a long day under the sun. The furniture and amenities were all brand new, which made my stay even more enjoyable. It was clear that the hotel prioritizes comfort and quality. Aqua Heaven Inn also offers a variety of day trips, and I highly recommend trying them out. The underwater world in this part of the Maldives is absolutely stunning, and exploring the nearby reefs was one of the highlights of my trip. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and always ready to help organize the best excursions. Overall, I was incredibly happy with everything Aqua Heaven Inn had to offer. It’s a beautiful, well-run guest house with excellent service, amazing food, and unforgettable experiences. I wouldn’t hesitate to return! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable Maldivian getaway.
