We really enjoyed our stay at the Acquatic, Arey and Adam both went out of their was to help us with everything to do with our stay. Particularly in the last day when we needed to get to Male and the public ferry didn’t come. Adam organised for us to check back in to the hotel and made sure we were booked in the speedboat for Male the next day.
The rooms at the Aquatic are very new and beautifully decorated, everything is very fresh and clean. Lovely large bathrooms. Lots of light too.
Mathiveri is a pretty island with a lovely tourist beach and its own little islet Mathiveri Finolu next to it that you can walk to at low tide or swim to.
We would be very happy to return to the Aquatic to stay again another time.

We had an amazing stay in Mathiveri.
Initially we were very pleased with Arej's approach and his courtesy and the fact that he was always there to help.
We were with a small baby in the hotel, we are very pleased with the cleanliness, and everything in the rooms is new.
The breakfast is excellent, and the dinner is very varied and delicious.
Bikini beach is great and tropical.
We organized several excursions with Arej, which we are very satisfied with.
We would return to Mathiveri again.
A warm recommendation for everyone for the hotel.

In February, we stayed at Aquatic Mathiveri, which provided us with an excellent stay on the island of Mathiveri. Our very nice young host Arey helped us a lot with the organization of speedboat transport from Malé Airport to Mathiveri Island as well as with the organization of an excursion that included diving with sharks, manta rays, turtles 🐢🪸🐚🤩
He also gave us a short briefing about the restaurants, beach bars and shops on the island, the sandbars around the island and the beaches, which turned out to be very useful.
The accommodation itself was very pleasant. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the bikini beach and the beach bar where a delicious breakfast was organized.
We are more than satisfied with everything, we enjoyed every moment of our stay on the island of Mathiveri and we are very happy that we had the opportunity to meet the wonderful and warm people who live here 🫶🏻
