Beach Hotels in Gaafaru

My friend and I stayed with Riyas between the 24th and 27th July and he was the best host we’ve ever had. We loved the hotel so much, we even decided to extend our stay in Gaafaru! The communication was fantastic even before arrival and Riyas organised transport to and from the airport for us. Upon arrival to the island, we were greeted with coconuts which was a nice touch! He also organised excursions (swimming with sharks and a trip to the sandbank) for a reasonable price, and also took incredible photos and videos for no extra charge. The breakfast provided was fantastic and the host was very accommodating to our dietary needs (we are both vegetarian). We also decided to eat dinner at the hotel every night and despite being vegetarian, we did not run out of things to choose from. The hotel was in pristine condition: the wifi worked perfectly and there was air-con and a fan in the bedroom, and a mini fridge! The bikini beach was a 2 minute walk from the hotel which is where we spent the majority of our time. After 6pm, you can go and see the stingrays at the beach which was cool, especially getting to feed them 😊 Overall, it was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had whilst travelling and would recommend to anyone visiting the Maldives! 🇲🇻

The place felt like home ; Nishan was a great host and he took care of all our needs ; We had breakfast & dinner every single night here and we loved every dish & every moment. We felt like home. 🤍 The fried rice was amazingggggg!!!!!!! The rooms were clean & every time we asked for beach towels, he was pleased to help us. We would come again at Niru 🤍

An Unforgettable Stay at a Stunning Maldives Island Resort What an incredible resort! Just 4 years old, this island retreat in the Maldives felt fresh, modern, and beautifully designed — exactly what we were looking for. Every space, from the villas and rooms to the restaurants, bars, and spa, was aesthetically stunning and meticulously maintained. The entire property was spotless, with regular cleaning that really stood out. We opted for the premium all-inclusive package, which was absolutely worth it. The mini bar was fully stocked and restocked daily, all drinks were included, and the food was both varied and consistently high quality. One of the highlights was the beautiful house reef, which my husband loved exploring. The location is also perfect — just 15 minutes by seaplane and a quick 45-minute speedboat ride, offering flexibility to reach Malé for international departures. The resort staff were exceptional, and the overall vibe was relaxed, welcoming, and luxurious. Our host Sonam was super nice and always very responsive so big thanks to her! The honeymoon package came with lovely extras like a sunset boat trip, a complimentary massage, and even a mini photoshoot — thoughtful touches that made our stay even more memorable all booked and arranged by her! We had initially been concerned that the island might feel too small, but after the intensity of our wedding, it was exactly what we needed. The compact size made everything feel accessible without being overwhelming — especially appreciated in the humid weather. Walking from our villa to the restaurant was just the right amount of movement. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer!

staff so friendly Aziz was really helpful guy and professional

Extremely happy, warm staff, like my family, shasu was very nice and helpful, the manager also, since we did an overnight trip, they offered a day use villa to have a rest and sleep until our room is ready. The speedboat transfer and airport greeting was excellent, not like other islands resorts, you don't wait for hours until the boat is full, they pick you up straight away to the island.

It was an amazing experience to stay in Oblu. Since the beginning when they picked us up in the airport for the boat transfer, to the reception in the island, the room, the vibe everything. We loved our whole stay. Staff was always happy, smiling and very kind and helpful. The place is amazing. Snorkeling around the island we could spot stingrays, sharks, hundreds of fishes, sea horses, starfish... The all inclusive service is amazing, excellent food and beverages options. Also, the tours that were included in the package and the spa were all great.

The reef, the snorkelling - turtle paradise, dolphins off the reef, crystal clear water, excellent staff - polite, helpful, extremely accomodating, the brilliant food/cuisine headed by Maldivian Chef Satheeh, especially the buffet at The Spice, the water villas - private, they provide beach slippers, raincoat, umbrellas, life vest and bag, along with being well designed, environmentally friendly, are all worthy of 5 stars. The best resort of the 10 Maldivian resorts we've been to.
