Nihaali Maldives

Our nihaali experience was very very good. And the person who made this possible was Ali Rush. He showed us around the island when we arrived and cared for our well being the entire stay.we enjoyed very much the cooking class with the locals.It was interesting and the people are so kind.💞snorkeling around the housereef is beautiful but watch for current.if you go with Ali Rush he would make a lot of amazing pictures .he is truly an artist! There is no dive center but so many other activities are possible on the island. The food on nihaali is more western orientated but if you desire for something different they would try their best.U will get water anytime. There is a weird smell in the bathroom but the whole place is clean and the bed is made daily. Rhe guesthouse has a beautiful little garden inside . We fell in love with the island and its people ..we will come back for sure . Ali Rush we thank you so much for taking good care of us and making us feel safe and so happy!!!We will never forget this exceptional experience💚🙏😄

Nihaali Maldives is a small guesthouse on a beautiful Maldivian island in the Baa Atoll - Kudarikilu which I have nicknamed 'Smile Island'. It is truly unique but has all the essentials, good food, clean rooms and excellent excursions. The staff is absolutely wonderful and everyone goes out of their way to cater to your needs, wants and desires. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the reality of the Maldives and its people. Thank you very much to all of you.

Nous avons été 2 semaines et demi sur l'île de Kudarikilu et logés au Nihaali maldives. Le Nihaali Maldives comprend un étage et nous avions la chambre avec Balcon. La chambre est spacieuse et comprend une grande armoire de rangement. Il y a aussi une bouilloire et du thé et café à disposition, 2 bouteilles de 50 cl offert tous les jours. Nous avons été accueilli par Ali. Notre séjour s'est très bien passé, Ali nous a organisé les plongées de mon mari. Nous avons eu nos gaufres le matin grace à Ali aussi. Le personnel est très serviable. Le chef cuisine est soucieux de faire plaisir. L'établissement est propre. L'hôtel met à disposition une plage pour les clients, c'est la Bikini Beach. La plage a des chaises longues et parasole . Pour les amoureux de la mer comme nous, le snorkeling est juste parfait. Beaucoup de vie marine, petits et gros poissons, beaucoup de tortues sur le récif de l'île. L' ile est charmante, le village a des maisons colorées. Il y a des petites superettes un peu partout sur l'île. 2 café restaurant, une pâtisserie. Nous avons visité aussi une ancienne mosquée qui est en ruine mais qui conserve ses charmes. Nous recommandons l'ile de Kudarikilu ainsi que l'hébergement au Nihaali Maldives. J'étais émue en partant .

This island is not as developed for tourists as other local islands in the Maldives. Limited swimming possibilities and limited beach. The island has not embraced western visitors like others in BAA attoll. Good snorkeling and diving if you can out beyond the reef but watch out for very strong cutentsy

I have stayed 10 days in Nihaali! Nihaali is an experience rather than a guest house. As it is the only guest house of the island you feel that you are hosted by all the people of the island. I have experienced the smiles, the generosity, the kindness of the amazing Maldivian people. Ali the manager and all the professional staff will do their best to plan your trip and make your wishes come true. The place is simple and clean. I recommend to take the full board as the kitchen is very clean. A special thanks to the chef who has made a special diet for me based on vegetables and fish! I would recommend the following activities: fishing tuna trip, Snorkeling, Dolphin, sand bank, dinner on the beach, Komodo day trip. You will be busy for 4-5 days. We were very emotional while leaving! We will try to come back soon inshalah!

The only guesthouse at the island. We loved it! Brand new hotel, super clean, with white linens. Ali, the knowledgeable manager showed us around and he was around every time we needed him. All staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Snorkeling was amazing! The corals are pretty good, there are schools of small- and middle-sized fish, plenty of turtles, reef sharks and sometimes eagle rays. The bikini beach is more less a private beach! There was nobody except us. This island is a gem, so peaceful. We will definitely come back!
