Ari Grand Hotel & Spa ★★★★

"The team is very cool, they help us with everything! The atmosphere is amazing!"

Handhuveli Dhangethi ★★★

Banyan Villa Maldives Dhangethi ★★★

"Spent a week here with a booking linked to South Ari Dive. Accommodation was good and the staff went above and beyond. If you want an experience other than a resort and want to see the real Maldives, this would be a good choice. Great value and the food was wonderful."

Dhangethi Inn ★★★

"Our stay at Dhangethi Inn was charming, delightful, surprising and unforgettable. I dubbed our host, Ahmed Thola, a ‘Fish Whisperer’ and ‘One With the Sea’. The sea is his playground and I swear he communicated with the fish, turtles, manta, whale sharks (and every other sea creature you can think of) to show up just for us every time we went out on his boat. Dhangethi is a Home Island, so you are on a ‘living’ island, not a reclaimed land resort of huts over the water. People attend prayers, children go to school, boats go out to catch fresh fish for families to eat. You can walk the whole island and all its alleys and lanes in a day, but everyday is different. Dhangethi Inn is in the middle of the island, so metaphorically, it is the heart of the island. We so much enjoyed our stay with Thola and his family. To get back to Dhangethi in this lifetime would indeed be lucky."

Endheri Sunset ★★★

"Paradise Maldives. The best hotel on the island, located right on the ocean, very cozy inside, so clean, we walked around barefoot. Transfer by speed boat. Room. My room had a magnificent view of the ocean, a fairytale. Cleaning is daily, very clean, the furniture and fixtures are new, everything is as in the photo of the hotel, the bed is soft and large, there is a quiet air conditioner, a refrigerator, a safe, a kettle, a coffee and tea set, a Russian adapter on the socket, towels for the body, face and for the beach, two bottles of water are provided every day. Internet worked great. Staff. The hotel has very kind, helpful staff, the mood is lifted, everyone speaks English, it was easy for me to communicate. The owner of the hotel is a sincere, kind person, takes care of the guests, talks about the island and its inhabitants, and resolves any issues. Food. I liked the food, the chef cooks delicious food. I had a Maldivian breakfast, and in the evening I ordered lunch and dinner from the menu, the prices were reasonable, everything was fresh, not spicy, served right on the ocean, if there was no rain, which was very pleasant. Beach. Bikini beach is nearby, the sand is snow-white, like flour, and does not heat up, the bottom is sandy, there are no waves, because there is a reef around the island, various fish swim, a small stingray, gray herons walk around, it’s clean all around, there are sun loungers, you can wash the sand off legs Excursions. The hotel itself organizes excursions on comfortable boats to the islands, to turtles, manta rays, sharks, fishing, they provide masks and fins, we had an instructor with us, an excellent swimmer, the prices are reasonable. The hotel has its own website with detailed information. Tips: do not exchange dollars at the airport for rufiyaa, dollars are accepted everywhere on the island without any problems and it’s convenient. Take mosquito repellent with you, they can come after the rain, long dresses are appropriate for women, Muslims live here. Island. The island is beautiful, small and green, the locals are very friendly, on the main street there is a pharmacy, souvenir shops, and two mosques. It's absolutely safe here. Many thanks for my wonderful stay to all the hotel staff, the hotel is cozy, like home, and the nature of the Maldives is a fairy tale! Best wishes and prosperity to you!"

South Ari Dive Center ★★★

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I stayed here in July 2026 and had an absolutely fantastic experience. We did a total of 6 dives over 2 days, and everything was perfectly organized. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making our stay special. They even prepared packed meals for us to take on our diving trips, which was a thoughtful touch. The diving was amazing. We saw manta rays, reef sharks, and a shipwreck, and our dive guides were highly professional, experienced, and made every dive safe and enjoyable. The hotel was comfortable, the food was great, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of service. I highly recommend South Ari Dive Center to anyone visiting the Maldives. I would definitely come back!"
