MAMELLO Beach Club Maldives

Everything was great here, we are very happy with our stay. Very kind staff, very clean. We got free snorkeling gear. The location is great, just off the beach and 5 minutes walk to bikini beach (closest guesthouse to bikini beach). The dinner was good, affordable and big, you should try it. Don't miss the amazing snorkeling on the south-east part of the island (wear t-shirt and shorts!), probably 15 min walk away. This island was the nicest of 4 islands we visited (we also visited Dhigurah, Dhangethi and Dhiffushi, we recommend the others in this order) and had the nicest beach.

Breakfast is as it is, everywhere the same (we have been to 4 islands) - Maldivian and continental, every day the same. The juices were very sweet, not natural fruit. But you get fresh fruit for breakfast. Nothing to do with guesthouse (we wish they warned us though), but be aware of the sand flies while on the beach! My daughter and wife were bitten very badly and it itches so much, for many days. We are not sure where they bit us, maybe around sunset on the beach, apparently they are most active at dusk and dawn. Don't lie or sit on the sand, we read they stay close to the ground. Many mosquitoes too.

We had one of our best holidays at MAMELLO beach club. Majeed and Samhooz are excellent hosts. They communicated transportation details when we booked the room. They welcomed us at harbor when we arrived at the island, took us to the hotel and offered welcome drinks. The room was clean and modernly decorated. It was cleaned everyday during our stay. The hotel is very close to bikini beach, you can also easily walk to the public beach. There are enough sun beds and umbrellas at the bikini beach. We were able to borrow snorkel equipment from the hotel. Everything was thought for the guests. Hot water was available all the time. Also, we enjoyed 24 hour free coffee and tea. You can choose continental or Maldivian breakfast, both are fulfilling. Dinners are amazing, we had fresh local fish. These are available facilities, which are impressive, but for us, more important was the cozy and friendly atmosphere at the hotel. We met two amazing guests who also felt like home at MAMELLO. We will always remember our holiday with joy, love, and laughter. Some info about the island: the bikini beach was okay, at first I had trouble finding sandy part inside the water but later I was able to find nice parts of the beach. What is special about this island is the coral reef. It is still live and looks like out of this world. For snorkeling, best area is opposite side of bikini beach. Look for best snorkeling sign at google maps. Another thing about the island is that it is close to an abandoned resort, which you can visit at a fair price. Snorkeling at this resort island is also fun. I hope you enjoy your time at Feridhoo.

Perfect location ( coral reef close to the beach, jungle strolls, stunning white beaches), very well run place, very kind and helpful staff, tasty local cuisine

Great location, great service, delishes food and very friendly staff. Quiet, clean, so friendly and flexible staff :). Shamhooz and Madjeed are so warm and hospitable. They looked after us like a part of the family.This hotel has been our unbeatable stay! During the excursion with sharks and manta ray Madjeed helped on our dauther to swim and was all time with her. The evenings we spoke and made joke like an old friends. Everything was nice. Me and my family would surely choose it again next time we visit Feridhoo.

These guys are just amazing, I enjoyed every moment of stay. There was a lot of food and it was delicious, I also booked 2 excursions (Manta ray and nurse shark) and was astonished by the sea beauty. The rooms were nice and clean, had fan and A/C, hot water, good electricity and fast internet. And the staff was cheerful and entertaining, I even learnt some of the Dhivehi language. Would definitely recommend this place.

Don't really see how to improve, everything's already great.

Two breakfast options were available—a continental breakfast and a “local” option. We tried the local option the first morning. It was good, and we continued with the local option for the rest of our stay.

Due to rough seas on the day we arrived, the speed boat ride to Feridhoo was very bumpy. It was much better on the day we returned to Male.

We loved absolutely everything - from our arrival and the warm welcome from the staff to the very last moment on the island. The island is stunning, and this is the best accommodation on it, all at a reasonable price. Bikini Beach is just a few steps from the hotel, and at night, it’s wonderfully peaceful and quiet. We truly felt like part of a family rather than hotel guests and that’s what makes this place so exceptional. The Maldivian breakfast was excellent and the best dinner on the island is at this hotel. Don’t hesitate to book your dinner here - you won’t find anything better. The portions are huge, and the food is delicious. Since we had an early departure, the staff prepared a takeaway breakfast for us and even came to the port to say goodbye, which was incredibly touching. Every little detail and every action from the staff showed their genuine effort to make their guests feel special. The surprise on our last evening and the thoughtful gift meant so much to us, and we truly appreciate it.

- we stayed there for only 3 nights.

Majeed and Shamooz are super nice hosts. We felt always very welcome! The rooms are nice and very clean, but there is no view! For sleeping is ok, ac was excellent, we chilled in the lovely small garden and enjoyed our stay a lot. The beautiful bikini beach is very close. There you can swim, relax and snorkel at the reef, sunbeds and Umbrellas are provided. To snorkel at the publik beach, you have to wear short and shirt! The island is nice, and the local people are very friendly. There are 3 restaurants, we loved Ambaa restaurant! But we also loved the food of Mamello, Majeed’s wife was cooking always nice and fresh!!! Beware, that all fruits and veggies are imported and rare, but the fish is amazing fresh and good! Many thanks to Majeed and Shamooz for a perfect stay!

No view from the room, little dark inside.
