Tranquil Nest Vaavu

l love this small atoll. coral island. everything is beautiful. island has only this resort so total calmness

they didn't provide shampoo and soap.

A serene place on a sleepy island - you definitely feel away from all noise/crowds/tourist groups in a way you wouldn’t experience anywhere else. If you would like 5 start resort amenities, then book elsewhere. What this place offers is something quite different - a glimpse into local life, peaceful surroundings and wonderful staff who are working hard to make sure every guest gets the best experience. I highly recommend going on a boat trip to one of the local islands so you can explore the fantastic local marine life.

The only thing that could be improved is the variety of meal options. The island is very small with no other restaurants and only one tiny shop for basics, so some desserts or fruit juices would be great. That being said, the staff were happy to adjust the menu and cook some local food, which I really liked. I believe they are working on a new menu, so hopefully this should be available soon!

Great, friendly staff and excursions- we went on a shark trip and saw sea turtles, a sandbank and plenty of sharks and fish. The trip exceeded all expectations and was 100% worth the money. The hotel is located near a reef edge, with spectacular corals and marine life. We saw dolphins, sharks, beautiful fish and more. The hotel is very small - you can feel like at home & there are barely any guests, which makes it a private experience.

Unfortunately when staying on Rakeedhoo, you will not be able to eat outside of the hotel (there are no restaurants). At the hotel, the food was mostly fish & meet based which might not be a great option for vegans/vegetarians. The buffet meals are different every day but limited to 3-5 dishes to choose from. The bed mattress was very hard
