The trip was truly incredible! We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time, thanks to every individual who worked at the resort, and everyone who had a part to play in putting our adventure together. From the moment we stepped off the boat, we were greeted by the owner and some of the staff, who couldn't have been more helpful throughout our stay, their attention to detail was phenomenal. The food in every restaurant was lovely, and there was enough to keep any palate satiated throughout their stay, along with a plethora of drinks options, whatever your tipple. The location itself was fantastic, surrounded by a magical reef that was teeming with wildlife, from colourful fishes, to turtles and reef sharks. Travel further afield and you can see manta-rays up close and personal, that one excursion was particularly awesome. If you want to be active on the island, the gym is adequately stocked with a enough equipment to keep you busy, and you can use the variety of water-sports equipment too, as well as a nice spa facility that offers expensive, but very enjoyable treatments. If you don't want to be so active, your time can be whiled away simply ogling the incredible turquoise waters, and the soft white sand that envelopes the island. Overall, we hoped that our trip to the Maldives was going to be special, and it exceeded our expectations in every sense, particularly the spell-binding scenery, but also the staff, they were awesome. We enjoyed celebrating our 20th anniversary, and we will no doubt return to celebrate another milestone in the future. Thank you!

I like the location in the center..near to the rooms and also to the see

Beautiful hotel at the beach on a calm local island. Staff are incredible nice and there is variety of tours available, so there is no chance to get bored. Snorkeling with mantas, turtles, fishing...you can do anything. SUP rental was available too and it was great to paddle around. Akeyz is very attentive and ready to help. There is a roof top restaurant and they also serve delicious coffee. Thank you for beautiful memories :-)

Love the authentic, cozy guesthouse and the island was fantastic. Beautiful bikini beach with many fishes on the reef. Thank you very much!

We loved absolutely everything - from our arrival and the warm welcome from the staff to the very last moment on the island. The island is stunning, and this is the best accommodation on it, all at a reasonable price. Bikini Beach is just a few steps from the hotel, and at night, it’s wonderfully peaceful and quiet. We truly felt like part of a family rather than hotel guests and that’s what makes this place so exceptional. The Maldivian breakfast was excellent and the best dinner on the island is at this hotel. Don’t hesitate to book your dinner here - you won’t find anything better. The portions are huge, and the food is delicious. Since we had an early departure, the staff prepared a takeaway breakfast for us and even came to the port to say goodbye, which was incredibly touching. Every little detail and every action from the staff showed their genuine effort to make their guests feel special. The surprise on our last evening and the thoughtful gift meant so much to us, and we truly appreciate it.

The food at Ayira was homemade and delicious, especially the fresh fish and the fruits. The room was clean, with air conditioning and well-maintained. The owner was friendly and welcoming, he assisted us in arranging excursions and the transfer from the airport and everything went smoothly. If you’re looking for a quiet, genuine Maldivian experience with warm hospitality, I highly recommend Ayira Maldives.

This was by far our best holiday ever! We stayed at Escapism Maldives for 8 days and we wish we could have stayed longer. The room was very spacious and cosy, with a huge, modern bathroom with a walk in shower and a little outside space perfect for drying wet swimsuits and clothes.The room was cleaned daily and we had fresh bath and beach towels every day. Shuhad and Junaid, the brothers who own the guest house did everything to make our stay special and relaxed. They helped us organising everything beginning from transfers to and from the island, excursions and even organised us some local fruit we wanted to try. They also own a nearby restaurant- AMBAA cafe & bistro and the food and mocktails they serve are absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. The island itself is stunning with lots of greenery and lovely for evening walks plus it has an amazing bikini beach located about 5 minutes walk from the guesthouse and a beautiful reef with plenty of marine life to admire. Very highly recommend visiting Feridhoo Island and staying at Escapism Maldives to everyone! 🌞😊

Service, food, staff, entertainment

Impeccable service. Food is excellent. The house reef is good and reachable via channels from the beach.

An unforgettable stay! We had a dream vacation in a truly paradise. The staff was incredibly kind, always smiling and attentive. All the amenities were available for maximum comfort. Special mention to the underwater scenery – absolutely fantastic, a real paradise for snorkeling or diving lovers! One thing is for sure, : we’ll definitely be coming back!
