I loved staying here. A short walk took you to the bikini beach which was lovely. The house reef is amazing.

This Guesthouse is truly exceeded our expectations, we really felt like home. My husband had a birthday and I asked them only to put something on the bed and the Manager Inhti’s wife made a cake as well. Such a sweet touch and they also upgraded our room. Great communication with the owner and after he introduced me to the manager Inthi who was communicating with us up until arrival and he picked us up at Dharavandhoo airport. Staff is friendly they offer some activities during your stay but they are not pushy at all. We went on the dolphin cruise and it was one of the best day of my life. The island offers great sea life you can see lots of fishes, turtles, sting rays and sharks as well and locals at the dock are also very friendly they always tried to help us to spot the turtles and sharks and always had a few nice sentences as well and helped us to understand how locals live and fish which was very interesting. With a short walk from the hotel you find the bikini beach which is actually looking like a private paradise, some days it was only the 2 of us there and it made it even more special. You find some small shops as well where you can grab some snacks. We had half board and most days they did ala cart and made the food for our requested time. It was delicious. WiFi was actually great in our room. Overall it’s mind blowing how beautiful the island is, how friendly locals are. If you want paradise without the overpriced resort islands but still want to see the natural beauty of the Maldives, Book it. We would definitely come back. Thank you Nihaali :)

Nihaali is a pretty resort in a beautifull place. The context is an island inhabited by local people... which is an added value because you can immerse yourself in the local culture. There are schools, families and children. There is a bikini beach where you can wear a swimsuit and a few shops to buy food. Nihaali staff are very friendly

It was cozy and comfortable. The room was clean and well ventilated. I enjoyed the privacy and quietness. The staff were friendly and able to speak in English and help me find entertainment. I had nice food especially Ala carte menu. There was a nice restaurant where you can order food and dine at your convenience.

This is a beautiful little island with everything you want on a holiday. Amazing snorkeling where we saw turtles swimming very close by! This is by far the best snorkeling we had in Maldives! The island is beautiful and green with a beautiful beach. The hotel is lovely with greenery and comfortable and clean rooms. Loved the breakfast with local massuni and roti. It’s a must try. The in-house Sri lankan chef makes delicious food and helps with special requests too. We had lunch outside the hotel – there are 3 other restaurants to try from. The staff are always ready to help especially Manager Inthi. Thank you very much for catering to our requests! We will definitely come back!

I came to Kudarikilu after visiting 2 other islands in Baa Atoll. I have to say that this island has the most beautiful house reef. You see plenty of turtles and many many colourful fish. I also saw eagle rays and many sting rays. Nihaali is a great little guesthouse, where the staff make you feel at home. The food is delicious and they were able to cater to my dietary needs. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained.

Beautiful island with a great bikini beach. This is the perfect place to have an absolutely peaceful vacation. I loved to spend time on the beach and swim. The reef is beautiful and you can easily access the house reef from the bikini beach. The hotel was clean and green, which I loved. The staff was helpful and always eager to assist you. The dining area was new, on the terrace and it’s lovely to dine there especially in the evenings. Breakfast buffet was great with both local food and western food. All the meals were delicious. Thanks to all the staff at Nihaali! All in all it was the perfect getaway.

Nihaali was a great experience for me. The guesthouse seems new and the rooms are cozy and clean with a very comfortable bed! They have great food options for all meals. The highlight for me was the deliciously grilled fish the chef served after our fishing trip. I advise everyone to try this at Nihaali. The fishing excursion was fun and we were lucky enough to see dolphins on the way back to the island! The guesthouse also has a games room where you can play billiards and air hockey and board games. This island is a hidden gem in Baa Atoll. You feel like this the authentic Maldives experience. The island has a beautiful big public beach, and a separate bikini beach. I went wake-boarding and loved it. They also have stand-up paddling and kayaks to go paddling around the island.
