"Jamsheed, the hotel manager of Nala Vili Hotel on the island of Ukulhas in the Maldives, went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. He organised a very special anniversary meal for me, James, and my wife, Audrey, to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. In addition, Jamsheed personally arranged all of our sea excursions, including swimming with whale sharks, manta rays, nurse sharks, and a night fishing trip. Each experience was completely private — just my wife and me — rather than being part of a large group, which made every trip feel incredibly personal and special. We also have personal videos of all our trip experiences. The anniversary dinner on the beach, with the sunset as our backdrop, was truly spectacular and is an evening we will remember forever. Jamsheed’s staff went above and beyond to make the night feel magical. We enjoyed several meals at Nala Vili Hotel, all beautifully prepared and served by wonderfully attentive staff. Before arriving, we did have some reservations due to construction taking place on both sides of the hotel, as other hotels are currently being built. Our concerns were mainly about noise and dust; however, we are very happy to report that neither was an issue at all. The local council on Ukulhas, together with Jamsheed, has worked closely with the building companies to address these concerns. Construction noise is restricted to certain times of the day so as not to disturb residents or guests, and the building sites are properly sheeted to prevent dust from spreading. All the meals we ate at Nala Vili were wonderfully cooked, and the dining area was immaculately clean. As for noise, the only noticeable sounds were from a lively Italian family and their friends — all fellow residents — enjoying their evening with music, dancing, and singing, which only added to the warm atmosphere. We were fascinated by the island’s development since they gained their independence from the UK in 1965, and asked Jamsheed many questions about the people and local life. He kindly arranged a personal tour for us with a wonderfully intelligent and well-informed young man named Irusham, which gave us a much deeper appreciation of the island and its community. Location Ukulhas Maldives. Rooms excellent and great value for money. We arrived on Ukulhas as tourists and left with friends in Jamsheed and Irusham. They helped make our 25th wedding anniversary one we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We can never truly repay their kindness, but we hope this review helps others discover and fall in love with this little piece of paradise, just as we have."

"Excellent hotel, very friendly staff. We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and everything was delicious. The location is superb, with a private beach area with lounge chairs and tables. We loved the spa; the girls gave us a fantastic massage, very professional. The complimentary snorkeling gear and laundry service were a nice bonus."

"First, you need to put the environment into context. The island of Ukulhas, inhabited by hospitable Maldivians who are always kind and smiling, still has a lot to learn when it comes to guest houses. We had booked an Ocean Suite; upon arrival, they gave us a sort of upgrade (we had paid around USD 200 a night anyway), and as soon as we got to the room, we were greeted by an unmistakable sewer smell. Hours later, we realized the toilet didn't work, not to mention that they had only left us two towels for the bathroom. I love simplicity, but the total lack of attention and detail, no: a soap dish, a towel rack? In 10 days, they NEVER came to clean our room, let alone the bathroom. The aforementioned problems (toilet and towel rack) were promptly fixed, but not the sewer smell... A typical structure that could be much more appreciated, but lacking order and organization."

"To jest Guesthouse, gdzie czujesz się w domu ... gdzie w każdym trudnym momencie przychodzisz pomóc ..., jeśli myślisz, że przyszedłeś tu, aby znaleźć spokój i sympatię ... jest przed morzem i bardzo, ale bardzo miły. Serdecznie dzięki Aouladowi, który zarządza strukturą wraz z Ali doskonały personel i ich obecność z wartości dodanej do struktury. Nie zapominam Sara Pola moja odniesienie, że przedstawiła mnie pomógł powitać obsługiwane 😅 Dzięki wszystkim, że jesteś w moim sercu ❤️ "

"Mieliśmy zmienić hotele w ostatniej chwili z powodu niespodziewanej kwestii, i byłem tak przyjemnie zaskoczony tym miejscem. Chociaż przybyliśmy bardzo późno, pracownicy przywitali nas ciepło i sprawili, że czuliśmy się natychmiast zadowoleni. Nasz pokój był nowoczesny, dobrze wyposażony i bez punktu. Podłogi były myte codziennie, nie tylko pomyte, co sprawiło, że pobyt jeszcze bardziej wygodny. Pomimo późnego przyjazdu, pracownicy zapytali o nasze preferencje śniadania na następne poranek. Śniadanie było doskonałe, z szeroką gamą opcji do wyboru. Staff był niesamowicie przyjazny, pomocny i uważny. Pomogli nam nawet w transporcie szybkich łodzi i pomogli nam zorganizować naszą podróż. Hotel ma nowoczesne udogodnienia, a każdy szczegół naszego pobytu był pozytywny."

"The island is small, the hotel is close to the beach. The host is very friendly, goes to contact, solves problems. Meet near the dock with a spidbot. Customer orientation at 5. The only minus is cleanliness in the room. It is not."

"Fantastic place with first class bed and linens etc. We loved our stay at Ukulhas Sands! The bed was a dream. The best one in Asia! The spacious room was sparkling clean (by the ever helpful Saeed) and really well decorated. The WIFI was fast and you could get Netflix and YouTube etc. The air conditioner worked really well and there is hot water in the modern bathroom. Everything was brand new and designed to give the guest the best experience possible. Our room was on the 2nd floor and even though there was construction across from the hotel, we never heard any noise. The owner Saeed, is super kind and extremely helpful. I realized a day after we checked out that I was missing my diamond ring. I texted him about the lost ring and miraculously he found it by the safe! Since we will be back in Male before our flight back to the US, he kindly arranged for the ring to be returned to me at our Male hotel. I am beyond grateful that he searched our old room twice and found it! It is my wedding ring and the sentimental value is irreplaceable since I designed it and had it made in Bangkok with a jeweler back in 1994. I also highly recommend Reef Rangers Ukulhas for your diving company. They are excellent and you will get a discount when you mention that you are staying at Ukulhas Sands. The dive company is conveniently located about a 2 minute walk away. The beaches for watching the sunrise and sunset are also only a few minutes walk. The harbor where we got on our dive boat was only about 4 minutes away. Be sure to stop by Celeste Cafe for coffee and delicious cinnamon rolls. They are located in front of the harbor. We loved our stay at Ukulhas Sands and will definitely be back!"

"A fabulous small hotel on a lovely island: a great introduction to Maldevian life for us. Access by speedboat from Male Airport is straightforward, although strong winds made the crossing rough in the 17 seater Coral Speed Boat: better to travel in the 60 seater, although I think that they decide which boats are used each day. Sheena met us off the boat at Ukulhas and it was a short buggy ride to Sea La Vie. A lovely entrance way leads to an informal reception area where a welcome coconut drink was gratefully received. We were in room 104; a good size with a large bed and a decent en suite. Two open racks serve as adequate wardrobe space, good for hanging not-quite-dry-yet beach wear, although outside drying rails proved very useful for this as well. Limited shelf space and no drawers meant other clothes enjoyed an "al fresco" few days! We were on a B&B basis and we opted for the Maldivian breakfast every day. Very nice tuna (spicy or not spicy ; your choice) with roshi, plus fruit and a fruit drink. It is best to order black tea and a separate serving of cold mild if you want English breakfast tea. The hotel is ideally placed towards the south east coast, with easy access to Bikini Beach, which wraps around the southern end of the island. The beach is excellent and the snorkeling even better. The western side generally provides calmer waters with easy access to the sea. A sandy start leads to 1m to 2m deep rocky areas, before the reef edge appears around 40m from the shore. The numbers and variety of fish are spectacular, and we also saw three different types of eel along with regular glimpses of small sharks. The southern tip of the island has the most impressive beach but the stronger currents make swimming and snorkeling less appealing. The eastern side generally has larger waves and a deeper sea leading up to the reef. Fish are equally abundant on both sides of the island. Fazeel at the hotel organised an early morning (7am) manta ray trip. Just the two of us on a small boat with two crew members for $130. We were lucky to snorkel with a large manta ray, with three close encounters before it got bored of us and swam away. Sitings are not guaranteed and so we were quite fortunate. Fazeel was also extremely helpful in organising a private speedboat to take us south to our next island (Fenfushi), but the weather again proved too windy and rough and he later cancelled this and arranged seats at the last minute on the usual 65 seater speedboat back to Male. We made our way from there on another large speedboat to Fenfushi. Ukulhas is a vibrant local island which is rapidly becoming more touristy. On the plus side, there are already 20 or more restaurants to choose from. The four that we ate at all provided good, simple meals and we generally chose grilled reef fish which can be ordered in differing sizes according to hunger levels! On the negative side, there is a lot of construction work ongoing, but most of it is to the north, away fr"
