Madi finolhu has two accommodation facility. One is off the beach and the other is 30 second from the beach. Can say it's on the beach because it's so close to the beach. If the weather allows lunch and dinner will be always on the beach. Staff is nice and welcoming. Food is great. And value for money is good. They do lots of excursions, dolphins trips, turtle snorkeling trips, sand banka, fishing etc. To add up they a collaborated with the only dive centre on the island where you can get a scuba certificate or get your diving package. Maldivers diving centre .

Firstly a BIG BIG thank you to Matheen and all the staff at the guest house. These men work so incredibly hard, they are very accommodating to their guests and will go above and beyond to make your holiday the most enjoyable trip possible! Matheen always made sure all our questions were answered. And I must say, he is great to have a laugh with! 😂👍🏼
All staff members, literally all staff members contribute to the amazing service.
Matheen wants everyone to feel so incredibly welcomed, at dinner he walks around asking each table individually how they are, what they are doing and if he can help any further. He makes you feel like you are apart of the family.
The chef - working so hard everyday to make an amazing buffet dinner, different options - meat/veggie and of course the freshest fish.
All the waiters/staff house members - they are all so kind. So kind!!! Lovely to have a chat with and helpful with all kinds of advice. They really feel like family after a few days. We will miss all those boys!!
They work such long hours, early mornings, late nights. These guys are incredible and I hope everyone can appreciate how hard they work!
The locals on the island are so friendly, always saying hello and asking where you were going. The children are the sweetest and as you walk around the island and become familiar with everyone, you feel apart of the community. As soon as we got back to the city, Male, we really missed the genuine and kind people of Maalhos.
We were even invited to a local wedding on the island with all the people from the island. Such a wonderful privilege to be able to do this, you would never get an invite like this having stayed at a big resort. We had a buffet meal with the the locals at a big wedding experiencing the truest Maldivian culture. Again I say, what a privilege for us.
The island is so little but big enough to have some beaches to yourself. The main beach is not a bikini beach but it’s beautiful and so clear. Great for snorkeling. Just a few metres from the shore, we saw a sting ray, a turtle, about 7 giant eels, a few octopus, the list just goes on. A reef full of life!!
There is a bikini beach around the corner and 9/10 times, we had the area to ourselves. Laid in the sun, laid under a tree reading a book with a cool breeze and had the reef to ourselves.
The activities are wonderful. I wouldn’t skip the dolphin tour as it was so magical. Matheen even sent my partner and myself to a quiet little island he owns for sunset. We could of been on there for days. Soft white sand, following the crabs around the island and finding all the beautiful hidden shells buried slightly in the sand. The sand had no foot prints on it and as we sunk our feet into it, it felt like we were on an untouched island.
The local dive Centre - Maldivers Diving Centre. Everyday a new reef, a new area to explore. Couldn’t get enough.
The WiFi near the restaurant is good, but really, with these wonderful things to experience, it’s the least of your worries.
We will continuously recommend this beautiful island and it’s guest house and will not be strangers! We will send our friends there to feel the warm welcome from the Maalhos people. You just can not compare a resort to this guest house, as I feel Madi Finolhu is the Maldives heart ❤️❤️❤️response / report this review -

Excellent location, food and service! Could not get over how friendly and helpful the staff were. The chef cooked terrific meals and catered for our food allergies. The owner set up activities (such as boat trips to beautiful snorkelling locations) and always took time to make sure we were happy and had a good time. As for the location, the photos of the island speak for themselves. We sincerely recommend staying here. Our only regret is not staying longer.

We didn't stay in the Guest House, but we got all our meals and advice about the island there. The food is amazing - huge portions, affordable, and delicious! It's a fantastic location with gorgeous views of crystal blue water and the staff are some of the friendliest people I've ever met.
