Palms Retreat

We really liked the Thai food at the hotel restaurant although the breakfast was just average. The staff was very kind and the hotel is apparently the best on the island

Our bathroom drain was blocked on the first night and they only fixed it on the 3rd day. We took a trip to see the manta ray and only when checking out did we discover that the diving equipment (mask and snorkel) were charged separately. Should have been informed when we closed the tour.

The property is very clean, aesthetic and comfortable. A big plus for me was also an amazing food. The host (Aiman) is the kindest and makes the whole experience even more memorable. They also offer the best excursions (my favourite one was snorkeling with mantas-everyone should try it).

Thai cuisine Kind staff

Some issues with the room were not responded in a timely manner and never addressed though it’s not a big deal

We stayed at Palms retreat for 4 nights mid January. It was an absolute pleasure to discover this place. We chose the retreat on the basis that there was Thai cuisine offered. Not only the cuisine was excellent but the whole spirit of this stylish retreat was above expectations. The owners, Amy & Aiman, and every single staff member were genuinely attentive, kind and welcoming. The comfort of each quest is of utmost priority to them. Fulhadhoo island is an exceptional experience with balance of stunning, long sandbanks, clean beaches, coral reef for snorkelling and palm forest for calming walks. The village is picturesque, well maintained with friendly local people. Would definitely recommend this retreat and would love to return. Thank you.

We recently stayed at the hotel managed by Amy and Aiman and were thoroughly impressed by our experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed, a feeling that was further enhanced by the friendly and helpful staff. Each member of the team went out of their way to ensure our comfort and satisfaction.The food offered at the hotel was exceptional, with a delightful variety of delicious and well-presented dishes. The hotel itself was a cozy haven, with its inviting and stylish decor creating a warm and home-like atmosphere.Amy, Aiman, and their team have truly created a wonderful retreat, blending great service with a comfortable setting. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable stay.

Nice, polite and helpful hosts and staff. Also there is an excellent Thai restaurant on the ground floor with a variety of delicious dishes to choose from. A lot of activities /excursions offered at an extra cost, great location.

Cleanliness was an issue, dirty towels that haven't been washed properly.

Location, people, room, island (it is a paradise!!!)

Well managed, excellent accommodation with great staff! 🥰

Where do we start...this place is amazing and on one very special island, Fulhadhoo! We have been Lucky to spend time is some very expensive hotels in Europe and the USA and the service, quality of food and attention to detail here is on par, if not better! Your hotel decor is relaxing and a joy to be in. The food is well thought out and you were so accommodating of my fiancé being a vegan, which was something we were nervous about when coming to the Maldives originally. The offering of quality excursions is excellent and we were so thrilled to see pilot whales and spinner dolphins on our excursion, a true once in a lifetime Experience! And it was great to go out with owner Aiman on this, as he is so knowledgeable about this atoll and island! The excursion felt very relaxed and with a small Boat and local captain, we felt safe and amazed by the experience. We even got videos of us we didn't expect l, and that was a lovely surprise! The skin care products in the public bathroom were also a very nice touch as was the amazing infusers around the property! A special shout out goes to Tinu, who had amazing attention to detail and went that extra mile to make us have the best time. He knew exactly how we liked our ice coffee! We have loved our stay so much and would love to return for our honeymoon in a few years! Thank you all at palms retreat! Keep doing what you are doing and we wish you all the best for the future!

It was all amazing!

Fulhadhoo is the most beautiful Maldive island where we have ever been to. The bikini beach is amazing: crystal clear water, white sand, view of the endless ocean…and those incredible colours! The breakfast was delicious, everyday different with many courses. The owners, the staff did everything to make us feel like we were in Paradise. The daily gift of food/drink was very attentive. Many leisure activities in the hotel, with special thanks to see the luminated planktons.
