Located just a 10 minute drive away from Male International Airport, Hotel Ocean Grand offers cosy and comfortable accommodation and a 24-hour front desk to assist guests at all hours. Free WiFi access is available throughout the property including all rooms. We were on a business trip and chose this hotel for the reviews, pictures and locations. All expectations were exceeded - everything was clean, comfortable and the food was really good. Particular mention goes to the fabulous attention of Fahim, and also Sudar and Sumit. Congratulations to front office team, housekeeping and the restaurant staff. Special mention to the dinner we organised on the terrace, it was superb!

Located within less than 1 km of Artificial Beach and a 4-minute walk of Sultan Park in Male City, Sala Boutique Hotel provides accommodation with seating area. With a garden, the 4-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The guest house features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. A Wonderful Stay at Sala Boutique Hotel Our experience at Sala Boutique Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Mr. Thomas, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. His dedication and passion for hospitality are evident—he personally oversees the business from 5:30 am until midnight, ensuring every guest is 100% satisfied. The staff at Sala Boutique Hotel were equally impressive—humble, empathetic, and always ready to assist with a smile. The hotel itself is a tranquil haven in the bustling city of Male. It is impeccably clean, with no noise disturbances, providing a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation. The mattress, linens, pillows, and even the toilets were of the highest standard, reflecting the hotel's commitment to quality and guest comfort. A highlight of our stay was the complimentary breakfast, which was both delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Additionally, the hotel's Thai restaurant is truly a gem in Male, offering the best Thai cuisine we have ever tasted. The chefs are experts, crafting authentic dishes that transport you straight to Thailand. The romantic ambiance of the restaurant, enhanced by soft music, dim lighting, and beautiful candles, made dining there a memorable experience. If you plan to visit Male, Sala Boutique Hotel should be your top choice. Even if you’re exploring the islands for a day pass, this hotel makes for an ideal destination. From the bottom of our hearts, we extend our deepest gratitude to Mr. Thomas and his incredible team for making our stay unforgettable. Thank you for your unmatched hospitality!

h78 is an award-winning hotel situated just a stone's throw away from the turquoise blue sea and white sandy beaches of Maldives. We have been recognized for our exceptional customer service for nearly a decade and are one of the oldest hotels in the greater Male' area, offering consistent care and service to our guests. We booked h78 for me to rest before we began a long night flight to Istanbul. We are an elderly couple and I am still using a walker after hip surgery. We only had a few hours at h78 but they were memorable! First, they picked us up at the airport and took us to the hotel without charge. Then, we had not eaten since we began our trip from the Maldives, and our meal at The Catch Restaurant at the hotel was superb. My husband had the best fish and chips he'd ever eaten; a large piece of white fish (tuna was also available), perfectly breaded and fried to a golden hue. I had Tiger prawns, green beans, a salad. Then, because we could only stay for a few hours, they gave us free dessert: ice cream for my husband, and a banana split for me! Our room was small, but efficient. A comfortable bed (which was my priority), a well-equipped bathroom. But let me save the best for last: every member of the staff, those who met us at the airport, in the restaurant and hotel, was extremely kind and helpful. This aspect of travel for us (in our 80s) is really a make-or-break part of the experience. To find people who care for our well-being is essential and they were all there at h78. Also, as we drove through the town, it looked as if it was a lively place, with many restaurants and access to the beach. We do recommend it.

Situated along the coastline of Maafushi, Arena Beach Hotel features modern and tranquil accommodation with free WiFi access in the entire property including rooms. Guests can enjoy water sports activities such as diving, snorkelling and windsurfing on site. We were fetched by their staff from the jetty port, our luggage was loaded in a small vehicle to be dropped in the hotel which was only a short walk from the port. Ms. Hazel was very welcoming and friendly and would give us some tips on how to go about the island while on our way to the hotel. Upon checking in, we were given welcome drinks and wet towels to freshen up a bit while waiting for our rooms. Ms. Metri, the receptionist was kind and polite, very grateful for her to accommodate our requests and assigned us to our rooms with the best views. There was a basket of fresh fruits in our rooms, Comfy beds, and toiletries were already set in our rooms, wifi was fast, clean facilities, pool was also there (could've been with warm water as it was already windy on the 10th floor that time and it was too cold), hotel was on the beach front, very good location with a lot of shops/restaurants nearby. Mark in the beach bar was very informative and warm, even offered us a walk around. Breakfast was by the beach, we weren't able to fully dig in as we had to head on to our 7:30 am island tour. Wish we could've stayed longer to make the most of our rooms too.
