Top 9 Specialty lodgings in North Male Atoll,

May 10, 2023 Lashaunda Abraham

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.

We stayed at Ocean View Queen Room for 6 nights; 2 nights for the initial plan and extended 4 nights. We are extremely happy with the property and the service. Amber Beach will be our first choice when we stay in Greater Male region! Room: - The balcony that allowed us to breathe fresh air without going down the stairs. - Bed was comfy and I loved the fluffy soft pillows. - The bathroom was clean and bright, the exhaust fan was strong enough for small laundries to be dried by the next morning; which is very rare to have at hotels in Male/Hulhumale. Staff & Service - The Manager was always approachable, friendly and caring. - Receptionists were very helpful and reliable. If they weren’t able to answer immediately, they’d make sure to be communicated with others and the manager, and they would get back to us for certain. - Room boys were very trusty. Shelves and behind the bed were also cleaned, and one more surprise was that a small tip we left on the bed were nicely put back on the dresser… which I doubled and haded directly to the boys later :-) - Breakfast buffet was enjoyable at the table outside (and inside, of course, if you wish to) including fresh fruits. The waiter was very attending who would ask your preference how eggs to be prepared and comes fresh from the kitchen. - A neighboring restaurant, Red Snapper & Coffee Beans, was our favorite to have good coffee in the daytime and for dinner. Waiters at the restaurant were very friendly and tried to remember our preferences. We also get “Amber Beach guest” discount at Red Snapper, thanks a lot :-) There was a kitty in the area that delivered babies in the bush during our stay. Amber Beach gave her (and babies) a safe shelter. This tells how caring this hotel is!!

We spent a 12 days long holiday at Kahanbu Ocean View and everything was just perfect! The place is amazing, it has a special laid-back vibe, the garden ends in the ocean, thus you have a private bikini beach for yourself. The breakfast is Italian style, coffee (thank you for the mokka Giulia) and cakes, with fresh fruit or eggs. If you are lucky enough you might have a view of dolphins playing during breakfast :) The real gem about the place are the super nice hosts, Giulia and Chikaa, who did everything possible to make us feel at home (ordering a birthday cake, visiting the sandbank, renting a SUP, recommending the best shops, watching Chikaa surf, etc.) and to have an unforgettable holiday at Kahanbu. Raju the chef was always ready to help us, he prepared baby food for our son, accompanied with a huge smile :) It was the best decision to stay at Kahanbu! Thank you guys for everything!

Iru Maldives

Even better than one could expect!

Reviewed By pomodoronellozaino

A wonderful and at the same time simple place to have a great stay in Thulusdhoo. Staff is there everytime you need them (plus they give you a slice of pizza gratis once a day!) and the hotel is ten meter from a private bikini beach (private, yes, but not isolated from the rest of the island). The rooms are clean and really nice, in a wood structure; beds are really comfortable. The breakfast is amazing and guests can book daily excursions to a lot of places (sand bank, snorkeling, corals, etc) for about 20$-30$. We did snorkeling and we really liked it: you have a person swimming with you (and the group of 6/8 people that go to the excursion) during the whole dive.

Reviewed By Alessandra P

La migliore guest house di sempre,staff accogliente e sempre disponibile per ogni nostra necessità. Abbiamo fatto escursioni fantastiche organizzate da Moodhu, che ci ha aiutato in tutta la nostra bellissima vacanza. La sua casa nuova, semplice e pulita è stata il giusto punto di partenza per le visite alle isole vicine. Sull'isola ci sono 3 ristoranti, un paio di bar, negozi di souvenir. Un ringraziamento a tutto lo staff e al nostro capitano che parla anche bene l'italiano?

Sunny Suites Inn

Disappointing :(

Reviewed By MartiFilipi

I chose a room because it looked very great on pictures, modern.  After arrival I was very disappointed.  I knew the room is small, that's OK. Without nice view, that's OK too. I wanted cheep room just for one night. But the room was very old fashion, not nice. Dirty walls and I was not happy with cleanness. The  bed was clean and WC was sanitized, that's why I stayed. Still don't know,  why this singl room was in category Deluxe.  Not at all! I am disappointed. I just give some  good points because of very kind stuff on the reception. The guys were very nice! Breakfast was OK too. Just next time I would look for some different place for a stay.
