Ari Atoll Hotels

My stay at Drift Thelu Veliga retreat was nothing short of magical! Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, the resort offers an easily accessible house reef that's a paradise for snorkeling.

This is a lovely island — very small.
If you choose All inclusive and enjoy a cocktail this is not the right place for you. The AI cocktail menu was very limited and nothing special.

Very beautiful amazing place.
Calm and relaxing environment.
Clean beach crystal clear water.

As spectacular in person as it appears online. Service and food is really impeccable. House reef is in great shape. We had high expectations but this place honestly exceeded them.

We really liked our stay in Amaya. The staffs were very hospitable. I do recommend Amaya for one of the best resort experience you can get. Excursion is great. Fiod was excellent.

We recently returned from what can only be described as a truly magical honeymoon at this little piece of paradise, and we are absolutely glowing with joy!

We had An amazing time in hudhuveli, was welcomed with a coconut juice, the rooms are clean and the water temperature for hot and cold is good, it’s in one of the best island in Maldives called

Hudhuveli offers a fantastic blend of comfort and local charm! The staff are incredibly friendly and always ready to help, making you feel right at home.

Beautiful place right on the bikini beach, staff is very nice and the hotel manager is very friendly, some of the rooms open directly to the beach, some have terraces with sea view.

Very beautiful view, amazing staff, food is awesome.

There are many guesthouses in Thooddoo but only a couple run by European management.

A 5-star accommodation on an island of locals. The interior design of the rooms is very modern with new furniture and clean new bedding.

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.

In February, we stayed at Aquatic Mathiveri, which provided us with an excellent stay on the island of Mathiveri.

We stayed at sunset water bungaloo and that was a perfect choice for us, since we are not morning people and would not enjoy early sunsets.

We have been here for 8 of the most relaxing nights ever. Snorkelling, eating, drinking and sleeping. Fantastic is all I can say.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable stay – outstanding staff and beautiful surroundings.

Without a doubt, one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at.
Special thank you to Waruna, Anoof and Adheel who looked after us during our stay.
Rooms are beautiful, clean and spacious.

Very welcoming, nice and clean hotel. Gentle and polite staff, delicious breakfasts. I definitely recommend visiting.

Thoddoo is a wonderful local Maldivian island. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the host, 'Mama' Rima, was already waiting for me at the harbor.

My wife and I visited the country for the first time and visited the island of Toddoo, and we definitely did not make a mistake with the choice of the wonderful hotel "Shams" with its hospitable and

Shams Lagoon View Guest House is located in the center of Thoddoo Island. It's a new five level building, very modern, clean, and perfect for relaxing, sleeping, and easily accessing the beach.

Can't comment on the rooms, we only ate there.
Food was tasty, served quickly and good value!
It's 3 mins walk from the closest beach.
Mosquitos were an issue for us though — bring spray!

Feel the real Maldives.
Small guesthouse (6 rooms) in Himandhoo, one of the few real maldivian islands.

We were very satisfied with the accommodation, the room was nice, clean, we liked the private courtyard where breakfast was served. The staff was very nice, polite and helpful.

Excellent place in Dhigurah, from the first minute the staff was really nice and warm welcoming. They can organise for you anything you may need, from the boat transfer to bike rental or any tour.

This was an amazing place to stay! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are perfect; with aircon, clean bathrooms, lots of cupboard space, drying racks and very comfy beds.

We stayed at Fins Dive and Leisure hotel with our big family of 14 people. The guest house has 6 rooms, and it was just perfect for all of us. The place was very clean, cozy, and comfortable.

Best place to stay in Thoddoo! Majudhee was so helpful and lovely. Everything was pristine! It was so clean, breakfast was lovely. I wouldn’t change anything!

I stayed at Avi Guesthouse for three nights and loved it. The place is clean and well located, close to restaurants and shops. The Maldivian breakfast was delicious.

We had a wonderful vacation here. The food was excellent and tasty. The staff was very nice and friendly. Our room was always clean and we had a beautiful view of the ocean.

A little very clean and nice hotel. The Crew were very frindly, kindly and helpful. They were always concerned about well feeling! The breakfast was international with some small meels of maldives.

January 2026. Even though I didn't stay at shamar guest house I did use their dive boat and equipment. The dive crew were very professional and helpful and very friendly.

Fantastic dive shop! Booked dives here during a trip and had an amazing experience. The team was easy to reach, responsive, and very helpful throughout.

This place offers incredibly affordable rates with decent basic conditions.

We had the most amazing stay. The host was so friendly helping us with his facilities (fridge & tea/coffee station), our washing and extras for snorkelling.

Very friendly owner, great hospitality, small hotel with family style treatment. Nice food.

This was my second trip to Maldives and the first to Boutique Beach Hotel.

Best experience. My family and I really loved everything, the hotel was very clean, the food was delicious and staff had been so kind and available at any time.

Felt like home on Dhigurah 🤍 HORIZON — that kind of care — is rare!
We absolutely loved our stay at this guesthouse.

Excellent guesthouse in the middle of this beautiful island. So many cafes, restaurants and shops nearby. We stayed for three nights and could have easily stayed longer.

I visited Ananea in October 2025 for a family vacation and diving trip in the North Ari Atoll. This was my 12th time visiting the Maldives.

Paradise on earth!
All the staff so very friendly.
Everywhere clean and tidy.
Beach and reef magnificent.
Room over the water perfect.
Food, drinks, restaurants and bars excellent.

We really liked this little guesthouse. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The location is convenient (super close to the port). The breakfast is great! Above all, the service is excellent.

The apartment was super clean and very well maintained. I loved all the thoughtful touches—everything was provided, from an iron to kitchen cutlery, pans, and other little essentials.
