Kiha Beach

Kiha Beach was undoubtedly one of the most incredible places I've ever had the pleasure of staying at. I cherished every single moment there. The staff was phenomenal, always on hand to assist with anything we needed, and the views from the balcony were breathtaking. However, the highlight was undoubtedly the food: a daily feast of delectable dishes, prepared and served by an exceptional team of chefs and waitstaff. I'm thrilled we decided on Kiha Beach for our stay. I'm eagerly looking forward to returning soon, especially for the Manta Rays season!

We had a wonderful time. The first day it seemed so quiet, we wondered what we had done but then we developed a rapport with Ali and his staff who were attentive to our every need. We hadn't realised the island was alcohol free but fortunately there was a yacht with a bar just 200m from the beach that we could go to every evening. We began snorkelling every morning along the breakwall and found an abundance of marine life from turtles to reef sharks to the cow tail and eagle rays, along with a huge range of large tropical fish. We also went fishing and caught a large red snapper which the chef cooked for us. The highlight of our trip was the four manta snorkels dives we went on. It was amazing swimming so close to these beautiful, large, gentle creatures -- such an unforgettable experience. The food at Kihaa Beach was excellent with a variety of European and Maldivian food for both breakfast and dinner, while nothing was too much trouble for the hard working staff at the hotel who went out of their way to meet all our needs and give us the best experience possible. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Make sure to take some cash to tip the very hard working staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Kihaa Beach.

Beautiful stay in this hotel. Amazing beach and water. Great food. Very kind and helpful staf. Luxury masage. Unforgettable experiences with mantas, whale sharks, turtles, reef… Thank you ❤️ I recomend this hotel very much for every holiday.

We were at Kiha ro see mantas. We live in Maldives and been vouple of local islands. Kiha beach hotel has very good quality i cleanliness, service, facilities etc. Good WiFi, good breakfast (comparing to local islands), able to use bug in transportations without extra fee, awesome beach, good location, ok restaurant in the hotel, clean pool (not so big). They were very friendly towards kids also, we can really recommend this hotel to everyone regardless the situation (holiday, business, sigle, family, couple).

Despite having to cut our trip shortly due to a family bereavement, we had 3 incredible and unforgettable days at Kiha. Starting with the pick up from the airport in a small golf cart, first time for everything, every member of staff went out of their way to make our trip, including the reception staff, the excursions organiser and the staff at meal times. This has the feel of being a small, family run hotel, where they really care. The food was excellent but not the gluttony fest of other larger hotels and resorts. The rooms are clean and modern, the beach is running and quiet and the pool is a bonus. The trips to Hanifaru are obviously a highlight, we packed in 3 trips in 3 days along with a bonus night time swim with Whale Sharks. Note, the trips are about one fifth the price of exactly the same trip on the private islands ! Finally, faced with the need to cut short our trip, change our flights and get to Male ASAP, the team did everything to help. All in all, we loved our stay here and only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks to all !!!

The hotel staffs are one of the best. Shoutout to hotel owner Mr. Yoosuf Naval as well. Ezza was great and so was Salem. Food was better than expected, had good experience with snorkeling with the instructor and captain. Everyone was super friendly and made our stay awesome! Would highly recommend this place.

A very nice hotel with luxurious rooms right on the most beautiful (and private) beach of Dharavandhoo, with really good food and above all: with the nicest, most courteous and naturaly friendliest staff I have probably ever met in a hotel. And of course a wonderful place to see manta rays. Thank you very much, it was really gorgeous to stay at Kiha!

My sister and I stayed at Kiha Beach on Daravandhoo local island for 3 nights and were not disappointed. It is not a resort but one of the best hotels on the island. When we arrived at Male, they assisted us to the domestic plane transfer to Daravandhloo, and also came to pick us up from the local airport at arrival. The rooms were spacious and clean but foremost the staff, Iza, Roshin, Sham, to name a few, always greeted you with a smile, no request was too much for them. The owner Mr. Ali is very friendly and was always happy to chat. We highly recommend a spa treatment with Sara, she was amazing. A few observations: Lunch and dinner are not buffet style but fixed set menu, a choice from 2 options. Yet when we requested something off the menu (such as Tuna Salad bowl), they were happy to oblige. Although the food was plenty, I find personally if the hotel had a salad bar that would have elevated the experience. I was missing my fiber intake :-). Second, it is again preference, but I found the beds too soft and uncomfortable sagging in the middle. The topper was feather-down, so although with good intent, but I found it too hot even with the aircon in full blast. The white sandy beaches with the shallow bays and house reef is amazing. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit rough, however the few times we did manage to snorkel, the reef was alive. Just to be aware as this is local Island, alcohol is not permitted. All and all, we found the experience pleasant and would recommend.

Family staying with 2 children - 3 and 6 years old. Location, hotel, restaurant, food, pool, beach...everything was clean and gorgeous! Also all staff was really nice and helpful. They did our staying really comfortable and every day with smile :) Room cleaning every day. Thank you guys! I can really recommend this amazing place!
