Guest Houses in Felidhoo

If you are about to book a stay in Maldives it is important to note that there are two possibilities i.e. a resort island or a local island. Depending on your preference one or the other will suite you better. Staying in a local island gives you an inside into the local lifestyle, food and culture where the resorts tend to isolate you from everything. The Felidhoo islands is a capitol of the atoll close to Male which means it is the most populous (~500 inhabitants) and has more sophisticated infrastructure compared to the smaller once. It is though a very quite place that will offer you holidays from your dreams. It has an amazing coral reef full of see life including sting rays, lobster and muraenas! In one of the corners of the marina there is a place where sharks are coming by in the evening for feeding. The island does not offer much of dining options thus it is strongly recommended to book the stay with three meals included. Please note that since Maldives is a Muslim country, it is not allowed to drink alcohol on the island, and there are two dedicated bikini beaches for the tourists - a narrower next to the hotel and a wider one couple minutes of walk. Masfalhi View Inn itself is perfect vacation destination. The owner (Rauf) was a great host, that was an amazing source of knowledge about the country, culture and life of the Maldivians. We had a room from the pictures, and it was exceptionally clean in the very good condition. Rauf is a great chef that was preparing delicious meals (mostly see food). The guest house offers several excursions including swimming with sharks, ship wreck and uninhabited island which are all very worthy to sign up for. Do not hesitate to book a stay, you will have amazing holidays!

The location is perfect. 20 meters from the crystal clear ocean. There are some beautiful palm trees between the guest house and the ocean. There are also coconut trees and banana trees in the garden. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We were greeted with coconuts (decorated with flowers), you can drink the coconut juice with a straw and then the fresh coconut could be scooped out. It was delicious. For me, this island was perfect, exactly what I wanted. I recommend Felidhoo Island and this guest house to those who are looking for a place that is quiet, calm, not yet popular among tourists, but still has grocery stores, souvenir shops, a hospital, a pharmacy, some accommodations and restaurants within them. This place is not suitable for those who need bustle, beach restaurants and nightlife. This is the island of peace. A place where you can talk to nice Maldivian people and admire the still almost untouched beach, which is just like on the postcards. Every evening in the harbor you can see sharks (not dangerous types) and stingrays. If you are lucky, you can also see luminous plankton on the beach at night. You can ask the staff about anything related to the island, they are happy to tell you about it and even show you around if you want. We bought activities (sand bank tour, shark snorkeling, turtle snorkelink, etc.) elsewhere, where the price was more favorable. In our opinion the foods inn5he restaurant still needs to be developed. We tried the guest house's restaurant, but we were not satisfied with it, so we had dinner at another restaurant, which was perfect. Unfortunately, the breakfast is not very varied either. But for me this was not a major problem, because the location is better than anything else. I would definitely come back again, although I never stay in the same place twice, I felt at home here. The beach is private, only guests of the guest house can use it, you can also swim.

Nice place in a quiet island. Room was very spacious bed very comfy. Food was delicious Breakfast & Dinner. Staff super friendly, very helpful. Price was reasonable.

Everything. Perfect location to relax and destress and enjoy what Maldives can give/show you. From the welcome in the airport(Tharaka), also the warm welcome when we arrived in Plumeria. All the staff(reception, restaurant,housekeeping and excursions) were so nice and friendly. Island itself was a paradise, clean fine sand beach with rich coral reefs and fishes. Regarding bfast and dinner, they have extensive food choices everyday. Some days, they provide free activities for the guest. They also have excursion trips and a great dive shop with a knowlegeable instructor, Reece. Here, you can really see and feel that theyre passionate to provide great service for the guests with those little surprises, small gestures/gift.

The room was nice, spacious and clean with very comfortable bed. I had everything I needed. Location was also great, couple of minutes from bikini beach. And special thanks for my Maldivian breakfast, it was simple but best I had in other accommodations on other islands.
