Ecoboo Maldives

The island Ecoboo is located in is really a treasure. Hotel is built next to the most beautiful and spacious beach with lots of sunbeds. You can walk barefoot all over the island, don't even bother to pack any shoes, you will not need them)) The reef is really worth seeing, lots of fish, sharks, dolphins and other sea life! There is possibility to snorkel almost anywhere, except the port entrance, make sure you see all of it! I found the area very private, safe, almost like a resort but for the local island price :) Hotel offers lots of trips (daily) and the adventure team is very helpful. If they tell you will swim with manta, dolphins and turtles - believe it, you will definitely do! And the way they treat wildlife I found rather ethic - no touching or grabbing, no force, just watching from aside. Breakfast was modest but it had all the essentials and food was always fresh. Wifi connection was fast and stable. A la carte menu of the restaurant is good, the food quality and taste is great and the serving size is huge! 1 meal can easily be shared between 2 people.

There are a lot of flies and mosquitos. I didn't enjoy eating at the restaurants during the day because I have to share my food with flies all the time, also it was very hot to sit there. I don't remember if there were ceiling fans but they didn't help much. Walls in rooms are incredibly thin, you can hear your neighbours talking, breathing, snoring, etc. Hotel doesn't have much entertainment facilities, no pool (game), tennis or darts. On the other side of the island there is a dump and they burn trash, very often a disgusting smell spreads all over the island and it lasts all the afternoon. It's not the fault of the hotel though, just keep this in mind.

This place is absolutely stunning! They’ve done an amazing job preserving the island’s natural beauty, and everything is focused on sustainability. The staff are super polite and professional they take care of every little detail from the moment you land in Malé. The boat ride is quite long but so worth it. We were welcomed with drinks and cold towels, and had a quick briefing to get to know the hotel concept and all the activities. Luis and Lucy were always around and ready to help with anything we needed! The buffet was incredible every single day fresh, healthy, and super tasty. Big shoutout to Ridoy and Rassika, who made us feel right at home every time we went to grab something to eat 🤍 I had the best massage in their spa, it’s a beautiful and clean space. The tours were amazing, especially the Ecoboo cruise. Inke and Ayan made everything more fun and captured the best memories for us with awesome photos and videos. Can’t recommend it enough I’ll definitely be coming back!

there are quite a lot of mosquitoes but shops 2min walking distance where you can buy repellent and the hotel can borrow any time you need as well.

The pearl that reaches out from the ancient Maldivian sea to bring its energy to the edge of the world. No panic, no worries from the moment you land in Male. They have their own people there, which is easy to find - they are wearing Ecoboo T-shirts. And we are waiting for you. Once you land, you are taken care of... Recommended for people who travel to Maldives for the first time in their arrangement. Breakfast self-service options include American breakfast, Continental breakfast, Oatmeal, Sausage, Bacon, Cereal, French toast, Hash browns, various omelets, juice, water (lemon), coffee, tea, hot milk, yogurt, and fresh fruits (watermelon, papaya, orange, apples). Dinner was the same variety of foods from around the world. The dinner was the same. Fresh fruits are always available, as are a variety of pastries (even at breakfast). The location is on the beach, no extra coverage is needed, fresh beach towels every day, fresh bedsheets, towels are impeccably clean, and the staff is exceptionally kind ( they do everything one needs even if that's not their job). The locals are different from other atolls, more tolerable and understanding for tourists than in any atol I've been to. Water stripped: the places deep enough to swim - white sand and the coral reef for snorkeling. Convenient for small children, with plenty of natural shade and enough sunbeds. The beach is long and extensive. The stores are a 1-minute walk from the hotel (please note that it is polite for you to cover your skin while walking into the center, as is customary on all atolls).
