This is an ideal island to spend a night or two but not a two week holiday , there is very little to do and the water is so shallow around the island it is hard to swim above the coral , there is also almost no available beach

Great place to get away for a couple days. Really happy we paid to stay in a villa - it was unfortunately raining while we were here so the extra space was very appreciate. All to nclusive is definitely the way to go. The buffet was awesome. Would have been nice if there was a larger pool for all guests to use. The bubble tub on our patio was nice and probably never needs but it need it doing our rainy stay to be usable.

Nice hotel

Very kind staff. Good breakfast. Nice beaches and sea. Tours are a bit expensive like in other hotels in Maldives. Foods are also expensive as other hotels, better to come as full board. Overall a good experience.

The best part of this resort, asides from the per beauty of the island is the people that work there. From Imthyaz, Vanesa, Eni, the Marine Hub Crew, they make you feel so welcomed and are so kind. This time, I also enjoyed the excursions, the food is amazing. I'll keep coming back to Malahini.

Nice resort, big, clean and very comfy rooms. Beach chairs are quite hard, it would be good if they had some cushions. Very convenient to travel from/to Male airport. Buffet food is nice but a bit bland, not much fish or local food. Very good vegetarian options. Beach is ok, water can get a bit murky at times and there are lots of rocks so beach shoes are recommended.

No beach service

Everything and everyone there were super helpful and polite. My biggest objection and draw back is the beach service which DOES NOT EXIST! There are no towels offered at the beach you bring the ones provided in your room, there are no pads on the beach loungers, glasses and garbage simply accumulate on the small tables until you remove them! Food was good, room was comfortable, BUT Maldives with lousy beach service is no Maldives!!
