Reviewed Jul 6, 2026Unser Aufenthalt im Fiyavalhu Resort war von Anfang bis Ende einfach traumhaft. Die Insel ist wunderschön, das Wasser glasklar und die gesamte Anlage ist sehr gepflegt. Unser Zimmer war sauber, modern und bot einen fantastischen Ausblick. Das Essen war abwechslungsreich und jeden Tag frisch und lecker. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das unglaublich freundliche und aufmerksame Personal – man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen.
Ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön geht an Shifa Fay. Sie war während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts 24/7 für uns erreichbar und hat wirklich alles für uns organisiert – von Ausflügen über Reservierungen bis hin zu kleinen persönlichen Wünschen. Egal, was wir gebraucht haben, sie hat sich sofort darum gekümmert. So einen außergewöhnlichen Service erlebt man nur selten. Sie hat unseren Urlaub noch schöner und entspannter gemacht.

Reviewed May 14, 2026We picked this resort based on price within a package at the teletexttravel website, the flights wr with Etihad, as an add-on ,we will never fly Etihad ever again, delay at LHR 50 min with a transfer time 50min at Abu Dhabi.. result a full busload of people missed their connecting flights... pushed on a bus in 41 degr celcius, and waiting over an hour without water ,before moving on to a hotel, an hour away from the airport, lunch included but no drinks , over 9hrs wait for the midnight flight to male , result, 1 day lost at the resort, and no compensation as the hotel no shown policy says... after a couple of hours of sleep (as we wr alr 48 hrs awake) we could start to explore the resort - the resort is an inhabited island, with around 450 people living there, fenced with a guard , you can visit ,if you follow the dresscode forced upon you in 31 degr celsius , btw there is nothing to see there! in your room is a minibar with softdrinks at 4 dollar each plus tax. there is a pool near a cafe that serves non alcoholic mocktails at 10 dollar plus tax, the infinity pool looks nice , but do not swimm towards the edge, because that part looks like the pool can collapse anytime as it is supported with rusty scaffolding and sandbags that are constantly washed out by the waves of the sea. the excursions like fishing , nightfishing, visiting a desserted island is all very expensive. the food, is very good , the staff there are very friendly and special tnx to the man that prepares the omelettes, the staff speaks hardly any english, some nights there there is a set menu, this due to a lack of guests, those nights , the food ended up on our table , just above cold! There is nice background lounge music , but why has the call of prayer be so load? it sounds over the background music and interrupts with your concersation at the table! 6 times a day, you are forced to listen to this, even hear it whilst snorkling under water...
coming back to the Dry Island situation, there is a floating (yacht) where they serve alcoholic drinks , you get there if you ask reception to be picked up, a beer cost $5 ++ and a cocktail $15 ++ , so in general , naturewise , a beautiful resort, food is good, but, whenever we go back to the maldives , we will have to do our homework better, and pick carefuly , were no rules are forced upon us , given the money we spend for a great holiday

We stayed at this boutique resort on a local island to celebrate a birthday, and honestly—it exceeded our expectations.
The place is small and intimate, which makes a huge difference. There are very few guests, so it feels, private, and incredibly relaxing. If you’re looking for peace and a slower pace, this is exactly the kind of spot you want.
The birthday experience was handled really well. We were supposed to have a dinner under a pergola, but the weather, the staff quickly rearranged everything and moved it onto a yacht instead. That turned out to be even better—more unique, more memorable, and honestly just special.
Service was smooth and thoughtful without being intrusive, and the whole atmosphere of the resort feels calm and well cared for.
Perfect place for a quiet celebration or just to disconnect for a few days. Would definitely come back.
The resort is beautiful, clean, the staff is kind and friendly, the food is good, Larisa's smile at every meal puts you in a good mood! Seyber and he made us feel good the whole stay!

Reviewed May 3, 2026We spend six glorious days at Fiyavalhu and loved every minute.
The staff are delightful: every one of them just wanted us to have the best time and they looked after us like special friends.
The place is gorgeous! Fabulously spacious, immaculately clean bedroom & bathrooms, beautifully kept beaches, paths and borders, well maintained, clean communal areas - the pool, bar, lounging area, reception and games area were always so inviting.
Alcohol is served on the Atoll Jade: a boat moored just off the island in line with Maldivian law; we loved popping over to have our sundowners there and were very happy to have lots of the delicious alcohol free cocktails in the day by the pool.
The sunbeds, beach area and swimming areas are lovely - little swing seats dotted around, plenty of palm tree (with the coconuts safely removed) shade, and of course the snorkling is fab: brightly coloured parrot fish, needlefish, small reef sharks and eagle rays all spotted easily.
It’s definitely worth paying for additional snorkling and diving excursions because the coral itself is awesome and life around it is spectacular.
We can’t praise Fiyavalhu highly enough. If you’re thinking of the Maldives and don’t know where to stay - Don’t keep looking - book Fiyavalhu!
All the staff were lovely but extra special mentions go to: Shein, who served us in the restaurant; she and the other waiting staff and the fabulous chefs made every meal brilliant. The tuna curry for breakfast is amazing, fish station always delivered, salads & fruits fresh & tasty; there was always so much variety of top class food.
Nazmul was king of the G&Ts and R&Cs on the Atoll Jade. He was great to spend with, was always chatty and welcoming and definitely made our pre-dinner drinks time extra special. What a genuinely lovely guy - as were the “Bangladeshi Boys” who ferried us over and made our fresh popcorn each evening.
Hazim was our amazing dive master who prepared all our kit, watched out for whale sharks, rays and dolphins and took us to the best dive sites - big thanks to the captain too.
Hishma was our lovely host who made sure we were updated with any news on the island and who we could contact any time.
Staying at Fiyavalhu was the best decision we’ve made in 2026!

Reviewed Jan 24, 2026Our two-week stay at this Maldivian resort was, without exaggeration, the best vacation we’ve ever had. Everything about this place feels like a dream you never want to wake up from.
The surrounding nature is breathtaking—turquoise water, soft white sand, and lush greenery everywhere you look. Every morning felt like stepping into a postcard. The island is beautifully maintained yet still feels wild and authentic.
We truly appreciated the resort’s connection to local Maldivian culture. Whether through small cultural elements, activities, or interactions, it added depth to the vacation and helped us feel connected to the place beyond its natural beauty.
Every meal was a highlight. Whether it was fresh seafood, themed dinner, or creative desserts, the quality and variety were outstanding. You can tell the chefs put a lot of care into every dish.
The resort staff made our stay unforgettable. Special thanks definitely need to go to Larisa (having the warmest heart), Sittiran (making the best scrambled eggs that side of the planet), Arees (who was always happy for a friendly small talk), Najmul (never forgetting our favorite morning drink choice), Sohel (welcoming us with a kind smile every day) and Seyber (our guide to the local culture).
But generally indeed everyone - from the reception to housekeeping to the restaurant teams - was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making guests happy. Their kindness really made the island feel like home.
The dive center also deserves a special shout‑out. The team was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about the underwater world. We explored vibrant reefs, met incredible marine life, and felt completely safe and supported throughout all activities.
Honestly, the only negative part of the entire experience was having to leave. We wished to be able to stay longer!

Espaço muito bem cuidado
Ótimo espaço para observar a vida marinha à noite
Demasiada luz a entrar nos quartos pela porta lateral e porta da casa de banho (não há black-out nestas portas e entra muita luz de manhã)
A comida é repetitiva e sabe quase toda ao mesmo
Ao pequeno-almoço, mesmo tendo regime tudo incluído, recusam servir sumo de laranja natural, já que há sumos artificiais
No ginásio, a única máquina que tem não funciona direito e não está presa ao chão, então, quase me caiu em cima durante o treino
Na última noite o funcionário da limpeza insistiu em entrar no quarto para tirar fotos ao frigorífico (aparentemente é o procedimento deles, mesmo quando está tudo incluído)
Na noite anterior ao check out entregaram-nos um papel com a hora a que devíamos deixar o quarto e o horário do sea plane. No próprio dia do check out acordaram-nos às 8:00 da manhã para nos dizerem que o nosso check out seria antecipado 2h. Após combinarmos a nova hora de check out, enviaram alguém ao quarto para nos avisar que os planos tinham mudado e que o nosso voo era dali a meia hora e que tínhamos de sair. Depois deixaram-nos imenso tempo à espera na receção.
Uma total falta de organização.
Após expormos o nosso descontentamento, o funcionário que nos atendeu pediu desculpa e tentou melhorar a situação oferecendo-nos o almoço. Um gesto apreciado no meio de toda a confusão.

Reviewed May 14, 2025Just returned from one of my best ever holidays having spent 11 nights at the Fiyavalhu Resort. We were warmly greeted by a welcome team and we met Mariyam, a wonderful woman who became our "go to" person for everything we needed.
The resort is peaceful. We went at the start of low season, so there was not a lot of evening activity, however if you are seeking rest and relaxation in the most beautiful surroundings, this is a place for you.
I can highly recommend the dive team who have an on-site dive centre DiveClubMaldives. I was diving with Charlie, Chandi and of course there was our Capitan, who between them took me on some of my most favourite dives ever.
Staff in the restaurant were great. Particularly enjoyer meeting Larisa and Sanjib who went out of their way at mealtimes to make sure you have what you need. In my case this was watermelon juice... Delicious.

Reviewed May 8, 2025Overall I have to say I am still blown away by the property and mostly the staff working there.
/ The property has pretty much two sides, one that has less beach (during higher tides) but some reef in the water whivh is perfect for snorkeling- facing the front and starting in front of the beach villas/beach-pool villas and the second side which is an almost deserted looking beach on the other side of a small palm forest.
/ We probably had the most relaxing arrival ever at the Property - beeing seated with some coconut water while the staff was taking care of our check in and escorted us to the villa.
/ The staff did take care of us from having someone at the airport pivking us up, taking care of all of our checkin in the TMA waterplane, putting us into the bus for the TMA lounge. Same for the way back - frontdesk was taking care that there was someone at the airport who would escort us until security, enauring a super smooth experience.
/ The space is really big for the amount of villas on the island so we had days where we met maybe a handful of people only and most of time we met not a single person
/ Cleanlyness is amazing - minimum 2x a day our room was made, come rain or sun. No trash whatsoever at any point on the island and cristalclear water full of fish.
/ The island is moat closely located to luxury and ultra luxury resorts such as Diamond and Conrad, so you know what you get in terms of nature and water quality …
I feel there is two sides to this section, so I want to give one point that I feel can be made better but also adress some concerned mentioned by other travellers
/ If anything I would suggest to talk more to guests about all that you do. I was so happy about all you took care of from our arrival to the depature, but it would have helped if everyone would have been more proactive about sharing what is going on. Example: Our waterplane was delayed and we were afraid we would miss our flight. The staff aranged that we would be escorted in the male airport to security in seconds, picked up right at the bus. Absolutly perfect! But pls let me know about this in advance so I dont need to worry.
As for comments from other travellers:
/ Yes, the front beach has some plastic bags that act as stabilization for this sand island not to be washed away… Thats not plastic trash floating freely. No issue whatsoever as there are plenty of other beaches just meters away which dont need stabilization.
/ Windsurfing is obv. not available - please refer to e.g. Dive Club Maldives for whats available. However snorkeling, diving and even diving certificates are totally doable and depensing on the season whaleshark diving, turtle diving, manta diving… Prices seem fine to me - takkng into consideration that it is in the Maldives.
/ There are indeed quite some mosquitos but the property takes all measurements to shield guests. From compliemntary mosquito repellent to2x a day mosquito poisoning. I definetly felt I was bitten much less than in many other countries.
/ Meals are really up to what you expect. You are after all in the middle of the indian ocean. I personally was super happy and would argue for anywhere up to 10 days you will find more than enough different meals at pretty conveniemt priving (somewhat similar to what you will pay in northern europe in pricing)

Imagine going to bed and waking up with the sound of the waves... A dream!
Here, you can see the dolphins jumping, an army of little crabs diligently digging their holes in the sand, manta rays, inoffensive bats, and... sharks.
I would also suggest to exit the resort to take a walk around the island, to see the mosque and the other beaches, the harbour, as well as the souvenirs shops, and the village.

Reviewed Apr 14, 2025I stayed at Fiyavalhu from April 5th to 13th, 2025, with my sister, and I believe it's a truly enchanting place. What I loved most is the resort's dive center. I had the pleasure of going on excursions with Charlie Clerc and Mia, who are extraordinary guides.
But most importantly, I took the course to get my PADI certification as an Open Water Diver. And I must say, Charlie is a truly unique and exceptional instructor. His lessons are clear, precise, detailed, and engaging, and the dives in the lagoon and on the reef were a true spectacle that I'll remember forever. I think Charlie is truly passionate about his work, and he's managed to pass on this passion to me, without forgetting the discipline, safety, and self-control that this sport requires. Mia accompanied and supported us during the dives, encouraging us and giving us confidence in ourselves. In short, Charlie and Mia's presence alone would be enough to choose Fiyavalhu!!
In addition, I must mention the beauty of the island. An unspoiled world, a lush forest of palm trees harmonizes perfectly with the resort's architecture, the crystal-clear beach, and an underwater world of incredible beauty. The rooms were always clean, the restaurant was excellent, and the kindness of the staff was infinite, especially our reference Mariyam.

I wanted to leave a gift for Mia, one of the diving instructors, and he was trying to explain how tax wouldn't be applied to a gift. His English wasn't that clear so I didn't understand straight away. So he sighed at me, and rolled his eyes at me, as if I was stupid. I was very angry, and disappointed that that was my last interaction with the staff at Fiyavalhu.

The beaches were stunning—pristine white sand and crystal-clear waters that took my breath away! There’s no shortage of activities to keep you entertained, from snorkeling and diving to exploring the island and enjoying water sports.
The staff truly made our stay even more special—they were communicative, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. Their warm hospitality made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.
If you’re looking for a paradise getaway with great food, comfort, beautiful beaches, and amazing service, Fiyavalhu Maldives is the place to be!

Reviewed Mar 22, 2025I haven´t even been to the resort. Booked it on the website, gave my creditcard information but never received a confirmation. E-mailed the hotel 3 times (!!) before they answered that I indeed had a booking. Asked what room , what meal plan and the price etc as I did not have anything to confirm the booking. Finally got a response but not the price.... Sent another e-mail to ask about the total cost- total radiosilence. Have now e-mailed and asked them to cancel the booking and send me a confirmation. The reply I got was that I need to cancel through the travel agency where I booked, I booked via their own website!! Have sent another two e-mails asking to cancel the booking and get a confirmation of this, again no reply. If you are looking to book a hotel/resort in the Maldives and want to be flexible look elsewhere. Never experienced this before, have booked plenty of hotels all over the world.

Reviewed Mar 9, 2025The welcome from the staff is very personal, every location is super clean, there is a good variety of local recipies at the restaurant. The park is like a jungle plenty of local animals. It’s a quite place but there are interesting activities to do, including the visit to the locals. Organization and kindness will ensure a pleasant and unforgettable vacation.

Perhaps a few more sun beds could have been available.
Es ist nicht mein erster Maledivenurlaub gewesen und somit kann ich es gut mit anderen Urlauben vergleichen. Fazit: Preis/Leistung stimmt nicht ganz!
Anreise: Zunächst muss man nach 9h Flug ca. 3h warten, bis es per Wasserflugzeug weitergeht. Es war mein 1. Mal mit dem Wasserflugzeug, also war sicher ne coole Erfahrung, aber man landete nochmal bei einer anderen Insel zwischen, bevor wir endlich am Urlaubsziel waren. Rückreise bei 10:25 Uhr Ablugzeit 5:05 Uhr wecken und dann 6:45 Abflug. Wer das mal machen will ok, andere Inseln sind per Boot direkt vom Flughafen sofort ansteuerbar und man ist schnell am Ziel! Zusätzlich kostet der Transport 1000$, was mit einem Bootstransfer nicht vergleichbar war!
Unterkünfte sind tadellos und genügen den modernsten Standards. Was allerdings in die Jahre gekommen ist, ist der komplette Terassen-Poolbereich, der aus wackeligen Holzbohlen besteht und man sich schnell Splitter in die Fusssohlen holt (so passiert bei meinem Sohn, 4 Jahre). Der Pool ist toll und auch die Liegen sind soweit ok. Ein Mini Souvinirshop (14qm) lud nicht zum Shoppen ein. Der Kidsbereich war ein Zimmer ohne sichtbares Spielzeug. Der Kidspool war wiederum völlig ok (60cm Wassertiefe).
Essen: da es sich um eine kleine Insel handelt mit ca. 35 Unterkünften, kann die Küche natürlich nicht 10-20 unterschiedliche Essen kochen, was völlig verständlich ist. Daher waren die warmen Gerichte auf 6-8 begrenzt. Es gab jeden Tag die Möglichkeit vormarinierten Fisch, Lamm oder Rin

Reviewed Mar 17, 2023The location and the resort are amazing.
White beaches, lots of fish and clear water. Take shoes to get in the water as there are rocks, but it's where most of the fish are! The staff was incredibly polite and available all the time. They clean the room twice a day! Even the activities offered are nice, all depends on the weather of course, but we managed to go for a snorkeling trip, kayak and sunset cruise. The restaurant is very nice, good variety of dishes 😋 be aware of mosquitos! They do a fumigation every day but it's not enough. There is a recreation centre with table tennis, pool and other games as well as the bar (with amazing mocktails) and the pool area. You can go for a nice walk on the beach all the way to the end of the island. In the evening, lots of crabs come from the sand, but they are harmless. We really enjoyed our stay!
Ps: Saabina at the restaurant was pur favourite, super polite and friendly!
They could cover the desserts at the restaurant from the flies, like they do with the salads. Maybe some other evening entertainment.

Reviewed Jan 29, 2023- The alpha & omega of this resort is the staff. So friendly, smiling and willing staff I haven't experienced yet! From the cleaning service to the restaurant staff to the reception - all of them are very helpful and you have felt that they are only for you there! A huge praise for the personal manager who is in charge of this.
- You often feel like the island is just for you. Great privacy. This is perfect for INTROVERTS.
- Resort was very clean including beaches.
- The village walk tour outside the resort was amazing and strongly recommend to you if you want to see how the local people live! Big thank to the Zee (If I remember correctly the name) from reception for a guide.
- When I asked about transfer from the Male international airport to the resort I got two choices of transfer - seaplane and airplane + speedboat. We chose seaplane because it must be a super experience but then they were answered to us there is only airplane + speedboat variant.

WiFi in the entire island!!
friendly staff
very private, relaxing resort
the price vs value of the offered beverages. for full board i would expect free of charge or at least some number of drinks for free, or lower prices at least.
i would appreciate more seafood and fish at the restaurant

Reviewed Jan 13, 2023nothing good to say about the resort other than the staff who were positively delightful.
it gives the impression of windsurfing being available, but it is not. it also doesn’t say that it is an alcohol free island when you book. The food was positively mediocre at best.

Reviewed Nov 20, 2022- Beach front room was very nice, modern and clean
- It is a very beautiful and quiet island. I always found an empty part of the beach just for myself if wanted (It was not high season though)
- No alcohol policy was Ok but very expensive moctails and non-alcoholic drinks. Water was included to lunch/dinner and they filled two bottles in my room twice a day. I appriciated that very much
- Nice pool area and facilities
- Breakfast selection was not for my full taste. missed fresh juices, more fruits and healthy options. Coffee was good
- dinner and lunch ok. Quality was not standard. Some days were better than others
- one staff member was ”too friendly”. He made me feel uncomfortable with his questions about my profession etc. I acted as I did not understand his question as I did not feel like talking about my personal or worklife. otherwise staff was very nice, caring and professional

Reviewed Oct 4, 20222 or 3 sentences can't sum up this delightful island. The wonderful and friendly staff. The facilities, food, service, including more excursions and watersports than I can mention. Go for the peace and tranquility and relaxing Spa treatments or for the amazing and exhilarating activities on offer.
I stayed for 21 nights in September and it's an experience I would recommend to anybody; of any nationality, culture or religion. Fiyavalhu caters for everyone's individual needs.
Rooms are cleaned at least twice a day + a turn down service in the evening. Whilst it is a non alcoholic island there is a Gin Palace called 'The Safari' moored approximately 20 meters off the jetty for those who enjoy a tipple.
There is also a games room, well equipped gym and resort shop. The native barman at the bar situated by the infinity pool offers a very efficient poolside service and an amazing variety of fruit cocktails.
Room service was available 24/7 and there is a well run concierge and reception service.
I arrived at Male and took the domestic route (Internal flight + speedboat) and returned to Male via seaplane. I enjoyed both.
To the many staff I now consider as friends and those who work silently behind the scenes to keep the resort beautiful, I thank you all.
I simply can't name all of the pluses and am struggling to think of a single, justifiable negative!
There is one unusual, but necessary procedure which takes place at around 5pm. It is called de-fogging. It lasts for no more than 10-15 minutes per evening and essentially rids the resort of mosquitoes. The fog clears very quickly. Rooms are also equipped with a plug in mosquito repellant. I took my own with me anyway and am glad to have done so, placing one either side of the enormous bed. I am an absolute mosquito attractor, yet in 21 days was only bitten a few times, no more than in any other country I have visited. So, for me anyway it was NOT really a negative.

Reviewed Aug 27, 2021I booked this resort for my parents and they loved it. My parents lost their passport when they got out of the airport and the staff of the resort helped a lot during the process and took great care of my parents. Eventually the passports were found which was a big relief! I would highly recommend this resort to anyone traveling to Maldives. It’s really beautiful and my parents kept telling me how clear the water is 😁
