Kaani Lodge
Club Med Kani
People who like Club Med tend to love Club Med – and the couples and families at Club Med Kani, the only Club Med resort in the Maldives, seem to love every minute of it.
Skai Lodge
This attractive town house boasts 13 clean but rather poky rooms with bathroom, hot water, phone, TV and air-con; some have a balcony. Meals are available, but must be requested in advance.
Baani Hotel
Newly opened in 2008, this great hotel overlooks one of Male’s two football fields and offers spacious, bright rooms (avoid the dark ones at the back of the building), free in-room internet and a complimentary driver to pick you up from the airpo.
Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru
The rightly popular Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru is a wonderful mix of outright luxury and ecotourism project. Part of the international Banyan Tree chain, it’s actually about as un-chainlike as can be imagined.
Thulhagiri
Small, intimate and low-key, Thulhagiri is as laid back as it is pretty.
Makunudu Island
Makunudu Island is wonderful, and one of our very favourite resorts in the country. Just 2.
Mookai Suites
These new business-oriented suites are a welcome addition to Male’ accommodation, though ADSL is charged at US$5 per 24 hours, which seems cheeky at these prices.
Maagiri Lodge
This centrally located place is a tad overpriced for its level of accommodation, but its functional rooms are comfortable enough, albeit totally lacking in charm.
Asdu Sun Island
Primarily favoured by Italian divers, delightfully laid-back Asdu Sun Island is about as far away from the luxury super resorts as can be imagined.
Chaaya Island Dhonveli
It’s been a dramatic few years for old-timer Chaaya Island Dhonveli. Following full-scale devastation in the tsunami that saw its water bungalows washed away, the resort was rebuilt and then later became part of the Chaaya group.
Club Faru
Just beyond the Male’ overflow island of Hulhumale’, Club Faru is the latest incarnation of an island that was a Club Med until its lease expired in 2005.
Vilingili View Inn
At the far west end of Majeedee Magu, this place is not very convenient for the rest of town and, despite the name, views to the sea are hard to come by. But there’s charm here, regardless of the flaking paint and damp in some rooms.
Transit Inn
The Transit Inn is above the busy Junways Café in a residential neighbourhood of the capital. It’s a slightly chaotic place with just four rooms that all include a fridge, TV and free wi-fi.
Paradise Island
Paradise Island is one of the Maldives’ biggest resorts, and offers some great deals for people seeking a huge range of facilities and services and at a bargain price.
Park House
Another brand-new hotel, the brightly painted Park House offers 20 large yellow-and-green rooms, dark wood furniture and all mod cons. It’s a good find, with free wi-fi and a pizza restaurant downstairs.
Helengeli
Helengeli, one of the most laid-back resorts, is paradise for divers.
Eriyadu
Located right at the top of North Male’ Atoll, Eriyadu is pleasantly remote, which is a major incentive for divers who come here for the uncrowded waters that surround the resort.
Adaaran Select Hudhuran Fushi
Adaaran Select Hudhuran Fushi is a good choice for a family holiday where activities are laid on in bucket loads.
Extra Haven Guesthouse
In the back streets at the east end of town, Extra Haven attracts a mixed clientele of visiting workers and budget travellers.
Candies
Candies This is overall the best deal in the city for our money – the 16 rooms are comfortable, not too cramped and overlook a charming pool and popular garden cafe frequented by locals in the evening.
Four Seasons Kuda Huraa
The smaller of the two Four Seasons properties in the Maldives, Four Seasons Kuda Huraa is also the more intimate and laid back.
Meeru Island Resort
Meeru Island Resort will have you smitten at first sight – it’s a beautiful long, verdant stretch of land with a dazzling white beach.
Giravaru
Giravaru is a cheap and cheerful diving resort that has been threatening to close and renovate itself for some years now, but it still showed no sign of doing so at last visit.
