Hotels With bar in Kaafu Atoll, Maldives

We stayed in an overwater villa. The hotel's strong points are its proximity to Malé Airport, just a 15-minute speedboat ride away, and the fact that it's actually three small islands or hotels connected together. This means a wider selection of restaurants, pools, and beaches. The overwater villas offer good value for money, and the sand on the beach is fine with plenty of fish, though they aren't the most colorful. Overall, the service is pretty good too. The only minor flaw is that the hotel can sometimes be a bit slow with room cleaning and facility maintenance. For instance, some housekeepers didn't make the bed, and others forgot to replenish drinking water. Our balcony umbrella was broken by the wind and it took two days of requests to get it replaced. However, you can contact the Trip.com concierge if you have issues; the service from the domestic platform is indeed more efficient. Several problems were resolved thanks to Trip.com's follow-up. Overall, I highly recommend it; it's great value for money!

After 2 days of staying in the water villa, we moved to the beach villa for another 2 days. The beach villa is even larger. We have our own swimming pool, big bathroom with a tub, plus an open air shower. Everything in this villa is very enjoyable. The milky white sands beach is just a few steps away, where we can enjoy swimming and snorkeling, or relaxed on the beach chairs, swing, and hammock. Abaan continued to take good care of us, making our stay here smooth and enjoyable. Worth of a special mentioning, the restaurant hostess, Mannu, always gave us a beautiful warm smile, and Sanampreet provided us with the most wonderful service, those made every of our meals here even more tasty. Our room attendant, Al-Amin is really nice and attentive, making our stay here super pleasant. Hope to see all of you again soon. We would recommend the Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort to all of our friends. The accommodation costs here are reasonable, and everything,  the beaches, facilities, pools, bar, activities, entertainments, and the buffet, is excellent👍👍. The most important that it is easy to see many different kinds of fishes here. The wonderful people, the milky white sands, and the unique Maldives Blue water will drive us to come back again soon.

Location: Just a 7-minute speedboat ride from Malé Airport, this resort is perfect for families with young children or seniors visiting an island for the first time, eliminating any worries about seasickness or airsickness. Facilities and Service: As a new hotel opening at the end of 2025, the facilities and service are top-notch. They won't treat you differently for only staying two nights or having limited English. The staff is super enthusiastic and will proactively use translation software to communicate. There are also Chinese-speaking staff on the island, so there's absolutely no need to worry if your English isn't perfect. Dining: We opted for the all-inclusive package, and the food at all the restaurants was absolutely fine. The mini-bar was replenished promptly, and the room could be cleaned multiple times a day, with mini-bar items restocked each time. Additional Services: They offer complimentary rentals of snorkeling masks, fins, paddleboards, and kayaks. There are also clubs for children and teenagers, making it completely worry-free for those traveling with kids. They even provide a free photo service, allowing you to choose one photo to print and take home. Snorkeling: The snorkeling is perfectly adequate for beginners. Summary: This was my first overseas trip with my two children, aged 10 and 12, and their first island experience, and it was absolutely wonderful throughout. It's very friendly for families with older children, and I highly recommend Dusit D2 to any families in a similar situation.

As a resort offering great value for money, we were all very satisfied. At the airport, look for your contact person at counters A17-18 to arrange your speedboat transfer. Firstly, this island is connected to the Hard Rock Hotel and Marina Hotel, which means you get to experience three islands in one. You can move freely between them, and there are 11 restaurants in total. We went to the Hard Rock Cafe chain restaurant one evening, and dinner for four cost us $200. We stayed for 3 nights, rotating between a Sky Room, an Overwater Villa, and a Beach Villa, one night each. The difference between the Sky Room and the Beach Villa is that the Sky Room is on the second floor with better views, while the Beach Villa is on the ground floor with direct access to the beach from the balcony. Each has its pros and cons. The Overwater Villas have room numbers starting with 1, and you can directly access the sea for snorkeling. The hotel has an app called 'SAii'. You can use it by scanning the QR code on your room TV upon check-in. It's available in Chinese. You can use it to request transfer buggies and sign up for many free activities. I initially thought we'd just relax for three days, but it turned into a bit of an 'intensive' trip with so much to do! Diamond members have a happy hour from 5-6 PM, offering three types of snacks/canapés and unlimited complimentary drinks and alcoholic beverages. We ate instant noodles on the first and third nights, and at Hard Rock on the second night. With happy hour snacks and drinks, plus breakfast, we had plenty to eat. The hotel breakfast was quite good, though it was always a bit windy due to the sea breeze. The speedboat transfer to and from the island takes 15 minutes, but it's very hot and stuffy inside. Our group of four tipped the butler $20 in total. For the overwater villa, they allowed us to check in at 11 AM, and we moved to a different room at 2 PM the next day. We tipped $2 each time for luggage transfers. As we moved rooms daily, we didn't tip for daily housekeeping. The hotel offers complimentary rental of snorkels, masks, and fins. We even saw a sea turtle up close during one of the free activities. Diamond members can also rent paddle boats and yellow kayaks for free for one hour daily. Bicycle rental on the island costs $10 for 24 hours. In the evenings, you can find many small crabs 🦀 and hermit crabs 🐚 on the beach. Recommendations: Bring instant noodles and snacks to the island, and a swimming float from home if you want to just relax in the water. The island accepts USD, or you can use Alipay/WeChat Pay.

This is a predominantly 'white' island, not well-known on Chinese social media, making it a niche destination. It's truly perfect for a vacation. 🏖️ 1. The island isn't large, and there aren't many rooms, so the staff are incredibly enthusiastic and genuinely enjoy their work. They start working before sunrise, around 5 or 6 am, and will greet you with a cheerful good morning. 2. There's a wide variety of water sports available, which require an additional fee. Group activities need enough participants to form a group. The instructors are very patient and helpful. As a solo traveler, I was quite apprehensive about the risks of diving. I stuck close to my instructor the whole time; he was very polite and even helped me take photos underwater. 3. There's one bar and three restaurants here. The food portions are really generous. 4. The front desk will arrange the most convenient speedboat transfers based on your arrival and departure times. They also arrange the latest speedboat departure on your last night, so you don't have to worry about wasting a day wandering around Malé city before your flight. My flight was at 10:10 PM, and my speedboat departure was scheduled for 7:30 PM. 5. The ocean is beautiful, the rooms are very clean, and the staff are super friendly. I absolutely love this place!

Saw lots of sharks,fish, sting Ray ,few turtle near by the water villa .every thing you can eat , drink . No extra fee. Very high CP value this hotel .highly recommended to some who is the first time and save money.Hotel arranged fishing and snorkelling for every customer.

Sheraton Maldives Full Moon is an excellent resort with a beautiful island setting and a truly relaxing atmosphere. The staff are exceptionally friendly, professional, and always helpful, which really makes the stay memorable and comfortable from start to finish. That said, there are a few areas that could be improved. The entertainment offerings are quite limited and would benefit from enhancement. The kids’ playground should be upgraded as soon as possible, with more engaging and modern facilities. In addition, more activities for adults—especially in the evenings—would greatly enhance the overall guest experience. For water activities, it would be great to see more attractive and value-for-money packages offered, as this would encourage guests to participate more and enjoy the marine experiences the Maldives is famous for. Overall, it is a wonderful resort with outstanding service, and with improvements in entertainment, kids’ facilities, adult activities, and water sports packages, it could easily be one of the best family-friendly resorts in the Maldives.

This was my fourth trip to the Maldives but first in many years. In the past I always stayed at an island that required an airline transfer + flight which took another half-day or more. This time I chose Baros based off reviews, being part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and location. The location could not have been better. After landing in Male it took about 5 minutes to deplane + another 5 to go through immigration and customs. Moments later I was met by the hotel staff and placed on a speedboat. 30 minutes later was I was in paradise and headed to my villa. The entire staff was exceptional and Sita took care of EVERYTHING. The villa was beautiful, the beaches pristine, the meals delicious, the service top-notch, and the dolphin cruise was extraordinary. I cannot wait to return!

It was a very last minute decision to travel to Maldives. 10 hours before I book then flew over already. This resort is a resort that I see cheapest that includes food and drinks but take note water sport and diving and certain food is not included. Service is great, staff is very warm. Food is ok but not the greatest. One important thing for Maldives is many resort when transfer from airport to the resort needs to add on charge but for this resort is inclusive. If you are kinda on a budget trip to Maldives this resort can be the consideration. Aside from these resort establish since 2022 condition still ok compared to same level of resort. 

The island's scenery was quite disappointing. There's a power plant construction site on a nearby island, and black debris floated in the sea daily. Perhaps due to understaffing, they use a mobile app for bookings and promotions, sending 20-30 annoying push notifications from 7 AM to around 11 PM every day. Yet, when I tried to book a restaurant, most time slots were unavailable. I tried to borrow a pair of slippers, but the staff on the first two days told me they didn't offer them, even though I saw other guests walking around in hotel-provided flip-flops. The same thing happened with an umbrella; I tried to borrow one from the front desk, but the receptionist said it was reserved for another guest and wouldn't give it to me. I was quite surprised. Just as we were leaving, another front desk staff member asked why I hadn't returned their power adapter, even though I had never used one, nor did I know they had such poor management of hotel items. I hope they can improve. On the plus side, it's very close to Malé Airport and accessible by speedboat, and the price is relatively cheap. For dinner, you can choose between the Thai, Middle Eastern, or Italian restaurants, and the food was delicious! The restaurant staff seemed very busy and tired but still maintained a smile.
