B&Bs in Gaafaru

My friend and I stayed with Riyas between the 24th and 27th July and he was the best host we’ve ever had. We loved the hotel so much, we even decided to extend our stay in Gaafaru! The communication was fantastic even before arrival and Riyas organised transport to and from the airport for us. Upon arrival to the island, we were greeted with coconuts which was a nice touch! He also organised excursions (swimming with sharks and a trip to the sandbank) for a reasonable price, and also took incredible photos and videos for no extra charge. The breakfast provided was fantastic and the host was very accommodating to our dietary needs (we are both vegetarian). We also decided to eat dinner at the hotel every night and despite being vegetarian, we did not run out of things to choose from. The hotel was in pristine condition: the wifi worked perfectly and there was air-con and a fan in the bedroom, and a mini fridge! The bikini beach was a 2 minute walk from the hotel which is where we spent the majority of our time. After 6pm, you can go and see the stingrays at the beach which was cool, especially getting to feed them 😊 Overall, it was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had whilst travelling and would recommend to anyone visiting the Maldives! 🇲🇻
