Ithaa Beach Maldives

We had a wonderful stay with Hamdhaan and Farid. The hosts are very helpful attentive and nice. Our stay was amazing, hotel is conveniently situated near the beach but is quite quiet. The food in the cafe nearby is also very tasty and not expensive (although be prepared to wait a bit) Definitely recommend

I'm looking for such good words that some people write that you saw them and that you experienced them!! The worst experience ever!. The reservation was made through agoda at the end of December. The day before we were trying to contact him from Maafushi to have someone waiting for us at the port and the phone was always switched off. The next day when we arrived we understood why. There was no room in ithaa for us and they took us without even informing us to a place in the damp and the stench. Of course we refused to stay there and were looking for a place to spend the two days on the island. Luckily we got lucky and found Chambao. Two days that we stayed on the island we were looking to find the person in charge and of course he was nowhere to be found. We returned to Greece and are in communication with agoda but unfortunately I don't think they will give us our money back. Prefer other platforms and of course never on ITHAA GURAIDHO because they will steal you!

Excellent hotel with excellent location located on the beautiful beach, extremely clean & comfortable . Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by host Hamdhaan. The whole staff in the hotel and also in the restaurant Thundi which is realted to the hotel are always available for help. Would definetely recommend this hotel to everybody! 

Very new and clean hotel rooms. Right in front of the hotel there is a local beach where you can swim without any waves or wind. Especially good for swimming with kids. The bikini tourist beach is some 5-8 min walk. This is probably the best local island for snorkeling, bioluminescent plankton observation etc. The island have many cafes like Thundi, Amore, Chambao etc where you can find both local and continental food. The owner of hotel was very kind with us.

If you want to find a place to relax and enjoy this wonderful nature and sea, but also a place where you can understand how Maldivian people live and how is their real life on the island, so this simple guest house is the right structure for you. The best rooms are the one located in front of Bikini Beach, which have a direct access to the sand and from there you can really have the sea in front of you. The food in the structure was always very good, and all staff was very kind with us and cooperative.

Ithaa Beach is Great We had an incredible stay at Ithaa Beach Maldives. The service is excellent. Everyone is friendly and accomodating. It is so beautiful and really give you the chance of relax. The food and drinks are also great and they are very good about working around food Allergies as necessary. We loved it and would highly recommended to anyone. Will definitely come back.

Sincere gratitude to the host Hamdhaan and all his team who made our holiday in Feb 2022 unforgettable We felt like home! I booked 3 Rooms in Ithaa Beach, however when we arrived the host offered to chose between Ithaa and another his hotel Sigeny View. The second one was located at bikiny beach, we chose this one. So the review is not about a hotel but the service, which I beleive is the same in both hotels. We took full board: it was not big choice of dishes, but very fresh and tasty. The portions are big. My favorites: penne with reef fish, tuna fried rice and chicken curry. Amazing seafood bbq: fish, octopus, lobsters. Guys can arrange romantic dinner at the beach or bbq party. Fruits, fresh juses and icecream are available as well. They adore kids. And even played with my restless toddler so I could have my dinner in peace:) My son became best friends with our waiter mister Kalam. Guys made their best to make us happy. And they really did. Hamdhaan organised snorckling excursions for us with dolphins, sharks and reef fishes. Great experience. Two hours ride with dolphins is 20$ per adult and 15$ per child. 4 hours ride with sharks and dolphins is 40$/20$. 2 kayaks, snorkling masks and fins are available in the hotel for free The island itself is very good for family holidays. 40min ride from  Male (speed board is 25$ per person one way). There is a nice beaches where you can find shallow water for kids and dip water to sweem and free dive.  There is an instagramy sand bank and reach home reef for snorkling. We saw muray, baby sharks, stingrays, lobsters there.  Big sharks and sting rays come to marina every evening to feed. Once we saw dophins and a tutrtle near the shore. Even if you don't go for excursions you'll see a lot of animals at the island. There is a manta cleaning spot near the iseland, but manta season is from Jun  to  Sep. We found a badminton playground and played with locals (they have a net, otherwise take your own net with you). And there is a good kids playground. Both located near the  pupblic beach. There are two dive centers. We went to Manta divers: 80$ for intro dive and 55$ for those who have PADI license. Good service, we recommend them. SUP serf - 20$ per hour. The owner, whose name is Chai, gave my 5 years old son a free lesson on SUP, while I was riding mine. Not for tips or make me come again it was a sincere expression of love to kids. Locals are very friendly and always try to help. The hospitality ob  the island is one of my biggest impressions of the holiday. If you want to feel the vibes of Maldives then defenetly come to this place and pass a warm hello from me to mister Hamdhaan!

It was a great experience. The hotel is right next to the beach and the island where the hotel is located is not far from Male, which is very beautiful. The food was delicious and the hotel staff were very accommodating. you feel like at home. I would definitely recommend
