Liberty Guesthouse Maldives

To the island Mahibadhoo we have came by the speed boat from the capital (35$ per person). Beautiful 5 days there. Perfect weather, friendly people, more developed island than the north Island Dharavandhoo but each island is specific on their own way, have different beaches, new food to try:) Compared to the northern island Dharavandhoo, the Mahibadhoo has cusine more oriented to tourist so they mixed local cuisine with continental and it was really good, not spicy (but only if you ask them), always fresh fish and big portions hehe The hotel offers different external activities and we have chosen scuba diving which was really great. First we had like a small lecture by the mentor named Frutti and later we left with him for diving. The cigarettes are like 7 euros, and we couldn't find local fresh juices like in the North but the beaches are more beautiful and highly recommended to bring your equipment for snorkeling but even if you forget the hotel will borrow it without the problem:) Paying - in general be careful everywhere in Maldives to pay with new bills because specifically in the capital Male they won't accept old bills like the bills before 2010! In the South 1 dollar is 10 Maldivian rufiyaa whilst in the North is 15 rufiyaa. Don't know why is that, but they accept without the problem dollars, accept rufiyaa and if you like credit card I truly recommend to get a Revolut card because it has the best rate and you will actually pay the real price no conversion or provision will be added! Finally, as we were there during the Christmas that have prepared for us a special dinner at the beach and it was really something:)

The warm atmosphere and the kindness of the staff and locals on the island of Mahibadhoo. It's a guest house on a local island, so it's not a luxury 5* resort. But you get the local vibes and for the price, it's 200% worth it. The location of the hotel, on the beach, is like nowhere else. There are plenty of exotic fish right in front of the hotel. You will have the calm and serenity that you will not find on any other island. Mahibadhoo is the perfect base to stay in the Maldives, so you can also visit the islands around, such as Dhigurah or Omadhoo. The diving experience was a major highlight for me. The instructor is very experienced and professional.

friendly staff, great location near the beach

The room was big. The location just in front of the beach. They provide for free a kayak.

It is a great hotel for those people who want to know the world, get to know the place and the people who live in this place. This is not a place for pseudo travelers from the "all inclusive" category.
