Vacation rentals in Hinnavaru

I’m a worldwide traveler and an airbnb Host myself. The host team did a great job arranging the seaplane back and forth from Male airport. The pictures of the property didn’t really showed how beautiful this place is. You are actually coming to a super large 5 star resort with many swimming pools, many bars, many restaurants and a lot of activities to do. We stayed 5 nights only and felt at home and like we needed 1 more month to really enjoy and discover the entire resort. All the staff were super friendly on every single place we visited. The beaches are something to remember like a movie postal each one of them. Couple of years ago we visited Bora Bora & stayed in an ocean bungalow there as well, and though we wouldn’t find another gem like that. Well, we all think we were wrong. This place in Maldives surpassed Bora Bora by a mile. Definitely will back in the future & will contact the Host once again for a great & unforgettable trip. Super super highly recommended. Thanks again.

Wonderful place, peaceful and clean. Ihube do its best for all services for his guests as transferts well organised, comfort in rooms, activities to do like snorkeling with turtles… Amazing breakfast cooked by Salim. All perfect ! Thanks for this experience in a so nice local Island.

We love our stay definitely think about come back

Mohamed's AirBNB was an exceptional experience - not just because the place was beautiful, well furnished with everything we could possibly need but the staff that work there are extremely friendly and helpful. Mohamed greeted us at the jetty, checking beforehand if we needed any help with transportation (we did end up needing help as our ferry got cancelled - he was able to secure 2 seats in a short amount of time during a very busy period). He gave us an introduction to the island. Naathi the local guide here was also happy to show us around and take us snorkelling and fishing, teaching us the local lingo. They also had a chef Malu on site that made us food when we asked for it. Everyone was very attentive and kind, taking us to the cafe as well for a chat. The room and bathroom are very well equipped with a mini fridge and water provided, and a very comfortable and quaint place. We enjoyed our stay very much, and will definitely be coming back.

Our stay at Haneefs was the best holiday ever. We were taken care of 24/7 and every wish we could think of was fulfilled. The locals welcomed us as if we were living there. This was a great way to get to know the life of the locals. The island is a very natural, small island with a nice little jungle and a huge, well-maintained house reef where we could see turtles, small sharks, rays and octopuses right in front of the hotel. You are provided with very good free snorkelling equipment and shown great dive spots. In addition, Haneef and his team offer wonderful excursions, all of which are very reasonably priced and super worthwhile. For example, we were able to see turtles, picnic on sandbanks, explore uninhabited islands and learn to fish with a BBQ afterwards. The restaurant at the hotel is also super delicious and offers very tasty local cuisine, among other things (also pizza, fries and pasta). The two Bikini Beaches on the island are beautiful, next to the hotel and also great for snorkelling. You can also take professional diving courses on the island. We didn't miss anything on our holiday and we made wonderful, close friends. In contrast to the resorts, the holiday is much cheaper but offers similar luxury and above all lots of beaches which are not overcrowded by tourists and great insights into the life of the locals. The excursions are the same as those offered in the resorts, but much cheaper and also more private without large groups of people. We will never forget this holiday and the friends we made will last a lifetime. We will definitely come back and recommend everyone to take a holiday with Haneef in Maalhos. It is worth it!!!

Great guest house, simple ameneties, ideal location to the beach and diving pick-up point, great communication and support throughout, especially arranging transfers. We ate in local restaurants and dived with a local dive company so cannot comment on the food or private tours. Our hosts were always available face to face or via whats app to answer questions.

We were the only tourists in the town of 400 inhabitants. It was perfect to relax and do some kayaking, and snorkeling. We could walk to sand banks! Host is great, very proactive and personally guided us. The little town has two restaurants that prepared custom meals for us. The beaches are very beautiful, clean and shallow for long distances so the water is generally calm. The water color varies from yellowish, to cyan, to shades of sky blue to dark blue in the distance. We could see little sharks, sting rays, turtles from the beach. Very relaxing and feels like own private island!
