Top Things to do in North Male Atoll
The 8 best Lodges in North Male Atoll,
If you’re looking for a Robinson Crusoe experience, you can still find that thatched-hut-on-the-beach vibe in the North Malé Atoll. But this chain of 50 or so palm-shaded islands in the Maldives has been stepping up its game lately with sleek, stylish accommodations. These days, even the islands themselves are designer. The newly opened Patina Maldives and Ritz Carlton Maldives sit on an archipelago that construction crews built in the Indian Ocean. Divers love North Malé Atoll for spots like Manta Point, where manta rays congregate so they can be “cleaned” by small fish. You can even snorkel with curious hawksbill turtles. North of the capital city of Malé are some prime surf spots.

5 based on 48 reviews
The Sunrise Huraa is small inn located within 15 sec walking distance to the nearest beach and 5 min walk from the guest beach. Located away from the middle of the island where one can clearly see the sunrise above the ocean early in the morning. Containing an outdoor private area, outdoor dining, a flourishing garden, completely AC rooms and the warm feeling of being home. Located 25 min speed boat or 1 hr ferry ride from the island of Male'
Decent guesthouse, wrong island
Reviewed By Invisible_YoginProperty itself is very good – with great and helpful owner Shameer and all the staff. Rooms are clean, beach towels and water always available, they serve good breakfast and can cook a good lunch. Once Shameer went snorkeling with me to show a non-obvious snorkeling place near the island. He was kind to help me printing and scanning the papers I needed to send home. On the downside - window was facing the wall in a meter distance (unfortunately not uncommon problem of Maldivian guesthouses and hotels), there were. no soundproofing with the adjoining room - sounds like the neighbors are in your room. Location-wise - hostel used to be on the beach, but now - after the extension of the island - near the huge wasteland that used to be the ocean. The worst thing about our stay was the island. It is by far the least interesting of 11 Maldivian local island we have visited: nothing to see, nothing to do, unless going somewhere by the boat, small bikini beach with a very shallow water, no house reef except for some 0,5 meter deep little coral field where you can snorkel during the high tide without getting coral cuts, only one ok restaurant - in a word, no vibe, no attractions. If I’d visit only this island I would have terribly wrong impression from Maldives.

Staff's need training
Reviewed By Saji AI stayed there in a twin room with my friend for 1 night. The stay was good. However after the check out I received a call from the hotel and the guy who spoke to me was very rude. He told me that we did not inform them about the dirty towels and now their boss will be angry. I told them that we requested for room clean but they said it will be provided on the next day. And that Bangladeshi guy said we caused them a loss by making the towels dirty. I asked them if they don't have any towels in their stock and this guy hung up. It was so offensive and so unethical to call their customer and speak like that. Besides no hospitality establishment staff can call to their customer and say we cause them a loss or give lectures like that. I know about this because me and my friend who stayed with me, we work in the same industry. This was the first and last time there. We will never go back to hathaa beach again.

Very bad
Reviewed By AAR2585it is a horrible place, it is not even one star. At first they gave me a room in which the linen was not changed, I called an employee to show him the hair on the sheet and only then they gave me another room Very bad small in the room, to much Moskitos, the walls in the room are very dirty and air conditioning very loudly, it was impossible to sleep. If you don’t want to spoil your stay in the Maldives, then don’t choose this hotel.

The most perfect place in Thulusdhoo
Reviewed By ChrisD446Our first week in a month long trip in Maldives trip around the islands started at Iru Guest House in Thulusdhoo. This guest house was so good, we returned for a few days later in the month. They book out fast and dont have many rooms, so if they have availability, it is THE place to stay on the island. The only guest house on the island that you can walk out directly onto the bikini beach and it’s perfect white sand and palm trees. Very stylist with good sized, comfortable rooms. The first time we stayed in the family room on the ground floor that you could walk straight out onto the beach, the second time we stayed on the 1st floor with it’s four poster bed and amazing balcony with views over the worm Turquoise blue waters. Great breakfast in the morning and unlimited water, tea and coffee throughout the day. The manager Nadine, contacted us before we arrived, organised the public speedboat from Male, greeted us, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stays. The staff are fantastic, organising excursions, laundry and even a tailor. Dinners we eat out, although they can organise food in-house. We discovered the three best places to eat on the island, all along the beach and near to Iru - Batuta (attach to Surf View) for its fresh fish (and there huge set meals), great staff, great value, great chef, Canopus for their veg curry, and Sandbank for their Prawns. Avoid Samura, next to Iru, which is overpriced and unpleasant with its incredibly rude Italian manager. Iru helped us with a number of excursions, including jet skiing and reef trips to see rays and turtles, and diving through Feenee diving, with its base behind Iru. Due to our length of time in the Maldives, we stayed in both resorts and guest houses. Iru was the highlight, made even better by Stuart, the coolest kitten, rescued by Nadine with only a little sight in one eye and so playful. Thank you Nadine and all the staff at Iru for making our stay so wonderful.

Real maledivian hospitality
Reviewed By Flamingo FWe spent in total 4 nights/5 days in the Sunset holidays. Please note this is not a 5 stars resort, but if you look for a real cultural experience in Maledives this is the place. The food was traditional island cuisine. The room was clean with AC. The owner and his family were very helpful to organize a trip to the sandbank, snorkeling and finishing trip plus transport from and to Male. If you are looking for a real Maledivian island life experience this is the place to be. Thank you to all the staff!:)

Alert with this terrible cheap hotel at all cost .
Reviewed By tintinadventureoTo the hotel owner FYI, we are also running a few hotel chain in malaysia but we never cheat or try to manipulate people's money like you do. Please be frank in do business thou it will not lasts if you keep on cheating people. We are check in on 16 May and check out on 17 on your hotel. But its a very bad service you had deliver to us . 1. We pay the room in full. but you didn't give us our balance. YOU keep on telling us you don't any small change for the big note. 2. You lied about the green tax and others tax. Which is you charge more than 50% 3. Our room was include breakfast but what did we find out, while we go down for breakfast that early morning before leaving, your staff telling us the kitchen didn't open yet thou it was almost 7 30am. We look to the cafe no one around it is still close. WOW what a good impression.you keep on manipulating. If Your government find out your business will be closed. It is not good the cheat people / tourist. I will bring this matters to your government soon i know someone in your government. Because of this you give a bad picture about maldives. Please!! To anyone read this keep out from this hotel if you don't want to get scam, cheated and manipulated.
