Nirili Villa

It's really cozy and local. The stuff is very helpful to book everything for you and transfer you from the port to the hotel. They have nice excursions. The food is nice especially the tuna club sandwich is unreal. They are also cleaning every day the room and giving you a lot of water bottles. Also the room was a value for money in comparison with the other hotels there.

The bathroom had a smell from the beginning but the cleaning team did their best.

beaches are very close, staff is kind

ameeru was amazing helping us sort everything out. staff were lovely. food was decent

We used reviews to work out what to book so I hope this is helpful. If you are even considering Nirili Villa you will not regret it. Great things were: Free laundry, every day free water in the room, snorkel and mask to use while there, the excursions were outstanding, beach towels, good wi-fi, shower gel and shampoo with a kettle in the room, although no fridge As long as you let them know when you’re arriving, they will be there to meet you and your bags will be delivered to your room so it’s very stress free. The accommodation is very very clean and they give daily housekeeping. They will be very happy to do anything for you. It didn’t feel like they’re trying to get money out of you as they’re always giving you free stuff and discounts. It seems to come from a place of kindness. Amir is an absolute role model for young people, he was around regularly and easily contactable by WhatsApp for any questions We did some great excursions. Shark diving was astonishing. Turtle diving was so peaceful. We saw lots of dolphins too. The food is delicious especially the Maldivian buffet with the introduction from the lady who works there that was so interesting to show how Maldivian people eat every day. All staff were polite and although the Maldivian way is not super smiley, they were genuine and kind. There is a bikini beach about 30 m from the property and we saw a lot of fish there. They do have boats coming in quite fast near the beach so best to swim near the shoreline. We were pointed in the direction of BiBee water sports and they were fabulous renting us jet skis and sunbeds/umbrellas. I think you could probably find free sunbeds elsewhere on the island but we loved this beach watching the comings and goings of jet skis, boats and paddle boards.. We could also order food/drinks from the Kettle or from Summer Luna. They brought everything to your loungers. It was truly luxurious.
