Arista Villa

We had a wonderful stay at Arista Villa and truly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The villa is located right on the beach, which was perfect for a relaxing holiday away from the crowds of tourists. Our room was very clean and well maintained, and we always had hot water in the shower, which made our stay even more comfortable. A special thank you to the lovely lady who prepared breakfast every morning. She was very attentive, the breakfasts were delicious, and we especially appreciated the fresh variety of fruits served every day. We were greeted at the ferry on arrival and escorted back when we left, which made everything easy and stress-free. The welcome drink was also a lovely touch. The only thing to keep in mind is that it's better to pay in US dollars, as paying in the local currency is less favorable due to the exchange rate. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful beachfront getaway with warm hospitality!

Nice cozy place, a couple of minutes from bikini beach. Friendly and helpful staff, good choice of breakfasts.

The place itself, the facilities and the staff, as well as how near was to the beach and the easy access to many souvenirs stores, was a wonderful experience staying in Arista Villa and we highly recommend it as an option to stay, the breakfast was amazing and the facility to arrange us also the transfer from Male to Ukulhas and back. The only thing I can say, is that a few hours before our flight to Maldives, we received a message from the Villa saying we will not be able to stay with them since they didn't have a room for us when we had the booking confirmed for around 10 days. However, after calling them, they told us it was an issue with their booking system and it was overbooked, they told us they will either move a guest to another hotel for us to stay in their villa, or they will move us to that other hotel, for the same price and no extra charges. However, we really wanted to stay in Arista Villa because we were excited, and they helped us to get the room we desired with them, so it was a really nice from them even though initially something went wrong, they fixed within 30 minutes. Also, for those who book with them, keep an eye in the harbour when you get to Ukulhas, since there will be waiting for you to help you with your bags so you don't need to walk, which is not a big deal because is 5 minutes walking from the harbour to the villa but is true that with the bags it could be a little bit hard, especially in our case because the days before arriving it was raining and the street were a little bit wet, so keep an eye because they will be waiting for your to assist you, as well as they will take care of taking your bags back to the harbour when you leave. Service 10/10.

We cannot complain about anything at all. There's a high probability of repeating the experience and most probably of staying with them on the same villa.

The location was near the beach

It wasn’t clean
