Guest Houses in South Ari Atoll

"First time in Maldives. We chose this resort due to vila sizes being larger in comparison to other resorts. Hassan our host was absolutely amazing. Professional, kind, efficient, patient, responsive. Staff at Rahu restaurant particularly Mahabir , Zar, Elisha , Tshering and Retsheesh. Super friendly and professional. Doctor on site was also very helpful. Resort was well managed, ran efficiently, clean and tidy. Staff warm and welcoming. Villas very spacious including massive bathroom and shower. Truly a magical place . Thank you for making our well needed holiday so memorable. X Z, Dave and Milly "

"We absolutely loved our time at Dive and Sleep. The rooms are lovely with a super comfy bed and the atmosphere of the accommodation is amazing with friendly attentive staff who are always there if you need them. The food is first class with fresh tasty dishes served daily. We had Jarda (one of the owners) look after us during our stay and he was so helpful with everything, you could not ask for anymore. The island we stayed on is peaceful with a small local population who are super friendly. You just need to remember to be respectful of the local customs and ensure you dress appropriately in public areas but there is also a "bikini beach" where you can sunbathe freely. The evening sunsets are beautiful!! The diving is really good fun and managed very safely. Every dive had sharks, healthy reefs and sometimes some fun currents to enjoy. The boat has an excellent captain and Mohammed (dive assistant on the boat) is the loveliest guy you will meet and is always on hand to help with the equipment etc. Dives are well guided by Jarda in our case and they were always so much fun as his enthusiasm for the underwater world is infectious. For me, this is the best value and authentic Maldives dive holiday you can have and I will be back!"
