Beach Hotels in Mandhoo

The owners of this small accommodation are very friendly and helpful. The days were filled with various little surprises. While many resorts may be lavish and expensive, Mandhoo Island offers an original experience of Maldivian life! Highly recommend to anyone looking for something authentic and unique.

Perfect barefoot luxury. Fabulous balance of authentic Italian food (with Italian chefs) and local Maldivian fish. Diving was world class

This place is paradise on earth! It not only exceeded our expectations but as well made us experience our best summer vacation so far! The property is on a small unique island and consists of water villas and bungalows. They created a small tropical forrest on the island part so that the bungalows are well hidden and you can have your privacy. The water villas have their privacy on the terrace where you can directly enter into water. The villas were spacious, very clean (they provide twice a day housekeeping!) and had tasteful decoration. Because it is a 'retreat', there are no big loud parties or screaming people or children. You can really relax and get most of the experience. The sea is just fabulous! We were able to experience most of the underwater wildlife from reef sharks (baby to middle size), turtles, rays to various tropical fish. You don't need to be excellent swimmer there. You just need to bring your snorkelling gear or use one from the property (for free). And in the evening, you can just spend hours with star gazing if you want. Food has been delicious. There was always something for vegetarians. Dinner menu is different each night. The staff has always been very kind and showed excellent hospitality. For us this has been an unforgettable stay. We will come here for sure again.

We had a fantastic experience! The overwater villa was superb, the food was unbelievably good, and the staff was friendly. The place is very well-cleaned, with the whitest softest sand and flowers everywhere. Dmitrii was super helpful and made us feel comfortable and cared for: he was very friendly and pleasant to talk to, explained everything, gave attention to even the smallest details and somehow just instantly made us feel relaxed. He also suggested we take a spa treatment, which was fantastic. We also learned a lot from him about the Maldives, seasons, different types of activities and so on. So if Dmitrii is your manager, you are in excellent hands. They have several restaurants and a coffee shop where they sell deserts, coffee and milkshakes. There are a lot of cosy chairs to sit on, we never struggled to find a spot - be it near the pool or under a roof or with the view of the ocean. The watersport centre offers many activities, but we only took fins and did some snorkelling. We saw a lot of fish, and even a relatively large shark - it's harmless though, and we were really looking to find it, you won't encounter it when simply swimming :) The food deserves the highest review: the variety of fruits and vegetables, delicious hot dishes and bites, all sorts of souses, salads, bakery. The chiefs are professionals, everything was perfect. Literally, every detail is taken care of, all that was left to us is relax and enjoy.

We just came back from this resort and are already planning our next vacation at the same place. We stayed for two weeks in a standard beach villa and liked everything, the most important for us being the house reef. The house reef: simply outstanding, daily encounters with the sharks, turtles, whole families of the eagle rays, porcupine and boxfish, moray eels and so on. We enjoyed snorkeling at least twice a day and were never disappointed. The food : simple but good, with Italian influence. One could find pizzas and pasta at a daily basis (pasta with speck and safran sauce is my favorite). Every day the resort changes the theme of the diner, my favorite being Maldivian, we had it twice during our stay. Live barbecue with meat and fish, live naan station (just excellent) as well as other dishes from all around the world. We also booked the lobster dinner, while being a bit too expensive, it was one of the best we had so far. The Chef prepared an excellent lemon butter sauce that was just perfect for the lobster, highlighting its delicate taste. Thanks to the General manager Jaco we also had one diner at the a la carte water villa restaurant, we liked a lot the romantic setting, lounge music, service and of course the food. The excursions: we went on a whale shark excursion and were lucky to see two different of them. In our sixth’s time in Maldives it was the first encounter, what a beautiful experience ! We also went on the night sharks snorkeling and had seen at least 30 friendly nurse sharks of different size, it was impressive and beautiful. Finally, we went on manta safari and unfortunately haven’t seen any, but we will try again the next year. The resort also organizes the house reef snorkeling excursions twice a day (free of charge) with the marine’s biologists. If you are not a confident swimmer and/or would like to know better the marine’s life, I highly recommend to give it a try. The shop: I loved this shop.
