Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Maldives

Lele esr a real person at the top, very responsive, very responsive, helpful, always smiling, close to providing service and available, no matter what time of day and her family we were invited to let us discover the local cuisine. Her mom gave us lots of small specialty to discover the flavor of the DRC. We recommend this host an unforgettable Christophe and dusica experience

The host Faseel welcomed us into his fully furnished apartment on 6th floor near KFC Malé. The wifi enabled house has a beautiful living space with TV, refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, gas stove and basic kitchen amenities. The bedrooms had an amazing sea view which was a feast to the eyes. Supermarkets and eateries are just a walk away. Thankyou Faseel for the comfortable and peaceful stay.

We can’t say enough about the wonderful experience we had at the Whale Shark Boutique! We were treated like family. The accommodations were brand new & cozy. Our entire trip was custom curated to perfection. We loved the location, including the two local cafés with amazing coffee and chai. The staff put together diving, snorkeling, and local island excursions that were out of this world. We look forward to visiting again someday.

Our stay at Mohamed's was magical, fabulous excellent. The place is even better than in the photos, it is really very well equipped with everything you need, new bedding, everything is new and clean even the washing machine which is an asset for a family with children. There is a nice terrace with TV to spend a good evening. Airbnb is 2 minutes to the beach 🏝️ Mohamed and his family are very attentive, and is very responsive to the slightest question that is asked...he does service and takes care of everything, he prepared us, on request, a feast worthy of a gourmet restaurant Maldivian specialties, do not hesitate to ask him, we also made excursions and we got very good price 👌🏾we hope to come back 🙏🏽thank you very much Mohamed, thanks to you we had a great stay 💕👌🏾

Had a great stay at Nava’s. The location is very close to the beach and about a 10 min walk to the ferry dock, where most of the excursions leave from. There are a lot of good restaurants in the area and a 10 min walk to other beaches.

The host and accommodation are very good, we really enjoyed staying here, everything was great

well what can we say? My Husband and I visited Ukulhas with teenagers (15 & 17), we were met at the harbour by Nasir, who took us and our cases to the accommodation, which was so beautifully clean and smelt amazing! The only thing I will say is manage your expectations, we wanted a base that was comfortable and offered the facilities to cook our own meals and this delivered 100% but the is the Maldives and is vastly different from the UK, however I will say that we had no issue with bugs (mosquitoes) or any other tropical insect entering the house, which I have found in hotels in similar climates, location was perfect right within the community, few minutes walk from the beach, right near the harbour and in my opinion absolutely perfect, we met Jamsheed and he was so lovely, his English is exceptional and we couldn't have wished for a better holiday in a beautiful location 100% recommend to anyone!! Cannot thank you enough ❤️❤️❤️

It was absolutely amazing! We never had a host like Ibrahim. Always friendly, always available. We also had a tour in Male where we have been waiting for our domestic flight. This was the vacation we were looking for. Quiet. Peacefull. LOCAL! Vaikaradhoo is a local island without a resort. Perfect for a quiet holiday. Ibrahim told us Chicco is our go to guy on the island. He arranged tours to inhabited islands with local food. We were able to eat freshly caught fish. It was astonishing! On the island there are several grocery stores. All the people there were always very friendly and welcoming. Like our host :). The guesthouse was absolutely perfect for that trip. We stayed a month. Everything was clean! Ibs, we can´t thank you and Chicco enough for this amazing experience. It was a dream holiday! If you wanna explore and experience the local maldivian life - Vaikaradhoo is the island perfect for that! We will definately be back as soon as we can! Greetings from Germany! :)

Had a very comfortable stay at Scott’s place. If you are a group of 4-5 then can’t find a better place to stay in Thulusdhoo. Scott’s home had everything that you’ll need. It’s very well decorated and designed and has a serene and calm vibe. we really liked hanging out in living room. Kitchen was exceptionally well stocked. Place is located right beside the beach and near to restaurants. It was delight to talk to Scott, who was always available with suggestions and tips. Since Scott wasn’t on island, Mujey took really good care of us. The place and more importantly the support and warmth of Scott and Mujey made it a memorable stay for my family.

A great accommodation! It is right located on the beach and you have a great view from the roof terrace. Mr. adil and asif take care of you. They are very friendly people. The house consists of 2 separate apartments and is cooler than it looks on the pictures. The roof terrace is really beautiful! We would always come back here. They offer activities and you have a restaurant right around the corner. Even the secluded beaches are very easy to reach. We had a wonderful time here and can definitely recommend the accommodation for this price! Thank you so much for the great time!

It's a little out of the way, and not on the same island as the local scuba diving company, so you'll need to rent a scooter or other transportation for that, it'd be an hour and a half to walk. Lots of shops within walking distance though. Never met Abdulla, but his father was very helpful, and who I ended up renting a scooter from. The room was nice, even had en suite bathroom(not advertised), nice double bed. The kitchen was also nice, and there was always heated water ready for tea(large thermos-like thing that also functioned as a water boiler).

Karan was an exceptional host. Even though he wasn’t there in person, he was only a message away and responded very promptly. He also made sure we had a local contact to help us out with any questions we had. Farhan was a helpful person with whom we had great conversation and he was very helpful in helping us coordinate our seaplane ride to our resort after our stay in Hulhumale. Karan booked a full day excursion for us where we had lunch on a local island, swam near a sand bank and snorkeled in the ocean. We saw lots of colorful fish and lots and lots of stingrays swimming below us. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. All of this was for a very reasonable price. Should we have waited to get to the resort, we probably would have only been able to do one of the activities for the same price. Our hotel room was clean and contained a partial sea view as advertised. The breakfast buffet contained cereal, omelet, fruit, local dishes (I don’t know the name) but they had noodles and rice, pastries as well. We were satisfied. Should we come to the Maldives again, we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Karan again. Thank you!

Karan helped his friend Narah who hosted us. Narah is very helpful and the accommodation is very nice. He took me with his bike to Money exchange and gave us some good local tips about food, water sport and tour packages. I felt like people from Maldives are very honest and friendly. My family had the good time in this place.

Very nice place, would stay there again.

Perfect location walking distance to everything. Go see the giant bats eating fruit in the large park nearby.

Adu is a wonderful host! He gave recommendations on food, explained local culture, and gave activity recommendations. As a solo female traveler I felt safe and would highly recommend staying with Adu for anyone looking to explore the Maldives. Thank you Adu for your hospitality!

Thank you for being so helpful! Karan set up a private boat for us that ended up being much cheaper than the hotel option. Karan also helped with an airline issue that made the rest of our stay in the Maldives worry free.

Everthing was good organized. Thanks a lot.

We felt immediately comfortable in the room. It was really very nice and clean! There is a small in front of the room in which a TV is equipped with Netflix, a small sofa as well as a mini bar and tea / coffee everything is available. At the back the beautiful cozy bedroom with bathroom.
