A palm-shaded island with a white beach, simple rooms and one of the gentlest prices in the Maldives.
Fihalhohi is a classic, uncomplicated Maldives island in South Malé Atoll: a lush ring of palms, a wide white beach on the north side and a lagoon you can snorkel straight from the sand.
Its 150 rooms are simple and well kept rather than lavish: beach rooms in pairs under the trees, upstairs rooms with balconies looking towards the sea, and twelve water villas with sun terraces over the lagoon. None has a private pool.
What it does offer is value. An all-inclusive package covers buffets at Palm Grove, afternoon snacks and a wide choice of drinks, there's a PADI dive centre with courses for children, and the boat to the airport takes 45 minutes.
Rooms are small (27–37 m²) and dated in places, with no private pools; this is a beach-and-reef holiday rather than a luxury one. Transfers are shared, so expect to wait 30–60 minutes at the airport for other guests.
Forty-six duplex-style rooms set in greenery just steps from the main beach, with a small outdoor space.
