Hotels near Nilandhoo

The hotel is great: the room was fantastic and had anything we needed, and the views at sunset were so special. The food across all different restaurants was very good, and we had no issues getting bookings across both islands. The hotel staff was brilliant and super helpful.

We stayed at the Residence Maldives for 6 nights for a long delayed honeymoon mid-April. We booked on Booking.com, and reserved an over-the water pool villa. My review sums up in one word - excellent. Truly 5 star resort. Amazing service from everyone in the resort, from the moment we were met at the Male Airport (we had to do nothing, we were met by their representative and everything was taken care of and seamless with the internal flight and boat) to the moment we left. Everyone always has a smile on, is super quick to meet your request and the staff are genuinely nice people. The bar staff, the cleaning staff, the reception staff, the restaurants staff...amazing. The room was nice and clean. Amazing views of the bay, the sunset and the sea. No complaints at all and truly 5 star facilities here. Word of advice, however - there are two resorts in fact, and we booked Falhuma (we didn't know, so it's probably on us). The Dihurah is larger and newer. Getting between the two is easy though on the bicycles provided (or the golf carts you can ask for a ride in if you're so inclined). We asked for a room change as I wanted to be able to get into the sea from our villa and the reception supervisor Shawin was super helpful and accommodating. The resort manager as well, Mr. Visham, came to check in on us. Truly excellent service as they didn't need to accommodate. I'll end with the food and drink. All inclusive package is amazing. The choice of drinks at the bars and restaurants was more than adequate (for example, 4-5 gins to choose from, including Bombay and tanqueray, Glenfiddich 12 and more premium alcohol, plenty of cocktail choices, 4+ red wine choices, etc). I don't understand the reviews that said the choice is limited. It is not, so book with confidence if that is a concern. The only downside is the room minibar only has beer, for anything else you need to go to the nearest bar that's always a few minutes away. No issues.

good services, beautiful villa

We can’t speak highly enough of this resort and its staff. Beautifully located with a large house reef teeming with life; you’re likely to see any and everything by just snorkelling the reef that’s at the bottom of the ladder, or beach from your villa. The villas are comfortable, spacious and well laid out, and all the resort facilities are nearby and easy to access. The food at the main restaurant is exceptional with a lot of variety at each meal. But, if you want a change, the Vista Italian restaurant adds another dimension. There are lots of arranged trips and activities if you want to join them, and everything we booked was a great adventure that brought us close to dolphins, turtles, rays, sharks and much more. All this said, the thing that makes this place so particularly special are the fantastic staff. Whether it’s the room valet with their beautiful towel and bed art. The pool bar staff with their talent and constant cheeriness. The restaurant guys with their welcome and unobtrusive attentiveness. The dive centre guys with their local knowledge and enthusiasm, the spa staff with their relaxing manner, and all the guys who keep the place running in the background. Everyone works hard, efficiently and always with a smile on their face. Thanks Kooddoo ❤️

Everything, all was good..
