What a place!
Pros:

We backpacked Maldives for 7 weeks visiting lots of islands but loved it here so much we returned a 2:nd time to during our vacation to end our trip here. We just couldn't get enough!

The island itself is beautiful with a great beach, turquoise waters and a lot better snorkling than anywhere else we visited. The house reef is full of fishes, sharks and the occasional turtle, moray eel and octopus. Just beautiful!!

But what makes this place extra special is the fantastic staff! They had the perfect mix of friendliness and service and made you feel truly welcomed. No matter if we're talking about the reception staff, the people who clean the rooms, the excursion guides or the restaurant staff, they always went the extra mile and made everything just a little more special! We were always met with genuine smiles and true friendliness, making it a home away from home.

On top of that the rooms are great, buffet is good and you dine just by the water, often spotting nurse sharks and maybe some baby reef sharks. There are also daily excursions one can join, we only joined the Kandu exploration which was very memorable.

Ecoboo is probably as close you can get to a resort on a local island, and with a warmth you'll struggle to find anywhere.

We can't wait to return!
Much love, Ludvig and Caroline

Nyaralás a paradicsomban megfizethető áron
Pros:

Thinadhoo szigete csodás, járműforgalom nincs, mindenhová mezítláb lehet menni. A hotel közvetlenül a Bikini Beach kezdeténél van, a hotel területén és a parton fürdőruhában lehet mozogni. Alkohol csak a hajós programokon van, mivel muszlim ország, és ez lakott sziget. A hotel épületei a bambusz design miatt nagyon szépen illeszkednek a paradicsomi környezetbe. A helyi korallzátony is nagyon látványos.
Egy álom a hely. A hotel szervez félnapos hajós programokat, jellemzően sznorkelezést, ahol kiváló a túravezetés. Az alkalmazottak szerint az ő dolguk az, hogy boldoggá tegyék a vendéget. Ez teljes mértékben sikerül is nekik!
A speedboat transzfert a hotel szervezte, minden jól működött. Mi főszezonon kívül voltunk, de csak egyszer láttunk messziről esőt egy hajós túrán, az időjárás hibátlan volt július elején.

Cons:

A reggeli kínálata elegendő, de egy kis változatosság jót tenne, pl. többféle szalámi, vagy a zacskós ömlesztett sajt helyett valami normális sajt.

A True Gem in Thinadhoo – I’ll Be Back! 🌴💙
Pros:

Ecoboo is truly a little gem on Thinadhoo! This beautiful, lovingly designed hotel, built with so much bamboo and attention to detail, immediately won my heart.
From the wonderful guest service including FO (Lucy I miss you) and incredibly friendly staff to my beautiful Superior Room with its amazing view, everything felt special. The food was delicious, and the beach bar was the perfect place to enjoy a tasty mocktail, coffee or snack while taking in the breathtaking location right on the bikini beach.
A special highlight for me was the daily changing programme of excursions and snorkelling trips. The guys from the Ecoboo guest programme are incredibly dedicated, friendly and full of passion. And I have to give a special mention to Sam – the beating heart of the Ecoboo guest team! ❤️
I was also lucky enough to celebrate Ecoboo’s 4th anniversary during my stay. The beautiful Gala Buffet was absolutely amazing and left nothing to be desired.
Ecoboo, you have won my heart forever. ❤️ I’m truly grateful to have been part of the Ecoboo family and I’m already looking forward to coming back next year!
Thank you for making my stay so special. 🌴🐠💙

The best decision of our lives.
Pros:

A honeymoon after 10 years and 3 kids :-). We couldn’t have chosen a more wonderful place. Thinadhoo is a beautiful little island in the central part of the Maldives, in the Vaavu Atoll, which is teeming with colorful marine life. Here, several accommodations and the local residents coexist in harmony. Construction is booming, as is the case in the Maldives these days, but the balance between nature and people is still preserved. And Ecoboo plays a major role in that. It’s not just any ordinary hotel. It’s a place where they’ve managed to create something rare: a space for connection—with nature, the ocean, people, and even with yourself. Wherever you go here, you’ll meet someone who gives you a warm smile. Whether you’re enjoying a great meal in the restaurant or a nice drink in the lounge, you always feel welcome, yet you can also just be, undisturbed. Crabs on the beach, sunsets over the ocean, nurse sharks gliding undisturbed along the shore, beautiful snorkeling at the local reef. Or perhaps you’d like a nice excursion? Thank you all for the amazing care and the wonderful energy you shared with us. Kamila and Vojta (Prague)
