Koimala Beach Ukulhas

We came to Ukulhas by ferry from Mathiveri and booked just one night before. Before we arrived, the manager Abdullah texted us, checked our arrival time, and offered a speedboat from Male. He also met us at the port himself. On the way, he told us about the island and nice places to swim. During our stay, Kaathick was always there when we needed help - fast, kind, and very helpful 🙌 The whole team was great. John made tasty breakfasts every morning) They even surprised my husband with a birthday cake and congratulations 🎂 Everyone was so kind and caring. It really felt like staying with family ❤️ Way better than any 5-star hotel ✨

We were extremely satisfied with our stay from start to finish. Everyone was very friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed. We did three private excursions organized exclusively for our family, which made the experience very personal. During the trips they also filmed with underwater cameras and later provided us with videos, which was a wonderful bonus. The price for everything was very reasonable. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The WiFi was fast and reliable. Breakfast was excellent with a wide selection of around 8 different menus, all of which we tried and enjoyed. The beach is only a 2–3 minute walk away, which was perfect for the kids. Just off the shore there is a beautiful coral reef with plenty of colorful fish, perfect for snorkeling. In the harbor, you can also see nursery sharks, which was an exciting highlight of the stay. There are several good restaurants and shops nearby (I recommend Nala Bistro). The island is small but very beautiful. They arranged the transfer from the airport to their place, which was very well organized and smooth. Afterwards we continued to Dhigurah, but honestly Ukulhas felt more special to us. The children loved Ukulhas. A big thank you to Nawaaz and the whole team for their amazing hospitality. Highly recommended for a relaxing and well-organized holiday.

The general manager Abdulla Nawaaz and his staff are so kind and warm. The room was nice, with air conditioning in perfect working condition (this is sometimes not so easy to find), glass water bottles every day refilled (less plastic is better!) and beach towels. We had full board: everything was made in such a good way, we could choose from the menu a lot of different dishes, fresh fish and local dishes. A huge thanks to Kaathik for his kindness and help. Maybe the room is not so perfect and immacolate as a resort room (anyway I am pretty sure rooms were so beatiful, but I know some guests are really rude and disrespectful towards forniture and hotel rooms..), but here you can taste something different, the pleasure to be welcomed as someone and not just a room number.

Warm welcome including pick up from ferry point, very considerate staff, clean rooms & quiet stay, basic fresh homely meals with a cute green space for the dining area, mid way from the beaches on either side! The host was very kind with local recommendations including Male transit:)
