Abbiamo soggiornato presso by the shades a luglio 2025. Ci è piaciuta molto questa Guest House..la sistemazione, lo staf
Pros:

La struttura è semplice ma accogliente e non manca nulla!! Le camere sono molto spaziose e hanno un bel terrazzo esterno. L’ambiente è famigliare e questa cosa ci è piaciuta molto. Ottima pulizia..ogni giorno la camera era sempre profumata!
Cucina ottima!!!!
Il cibo era fantastico e sempre fresco

Cons:

Tutto in linea con le aspettative

An unforgettable stay with amazing hosts, exciting excursions, and a beautiful, clean hotel.
Pros:

We had an absolutely amazing experience at By the shade Maldives! The team was incredibly professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our stay special. We booked the snorkeling safari and the nurse shark trip — both were unforgettable adventures. The hotel itself is spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained, with a cozy and peaceful atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Maldives in a genuine and welcoming way!

Overall is was a big disappointment. This is a local island without any tourist infrastructure such as shops, restaurant
Pros:

This property is very clean and rooms decorations are really nice

Cons:

The island itself has absolutely no infrastructure. It’s so far away from Male & transfer by boat is rather challenging. We had a hard time to find any place to eat on the island so we had to finish our trip earlier.

Very good
Pros:

Amazing staff always available to help and provide an outstanding service. Loved the food served at breakfast, lunch and dinner with Maldivian local food. The room was well furnished complete with air conditioning and a nice view on the courtyard and its beautiful flowers. Good location close to bikini beach and ferry station for your daily trips (we loved the picnic island trip).
