Seaside Oceanview ★★★★

"The rooms are quite new for this local island; the owner said it only opened in May of this year. The main advantage is that every room has a sea view. We compared many hotels on the island before choosing this one, and we were very satisfied with our stay. They even have Chinese food available, and you can sign up for water excursions through the owner at a reasonable price of $90 USD per person for three activities. There's a 1-on-2 dive guide, and since we're not great swimmers, we needed to be pulled along the whole time – they were very responsible. We also signed up for a trial dive; their hotel is a PADI dive shop with Chinese-speaking instructors, and we took many photos. Overall, we were very satisfied."

La Solara Villa ★★★

Ranthari Hotel and Spa, Ukulhas Maldives ★★★★

"The location is excellent – ​​right across from a private bikini beach with a fairly thriving reef. The rooms are neat. The breakfast isn't mind-blowing, but it's perfectly adequate. The staff is beyond reproach: they'll go out of their way to help with any questions. Rezaul is a star! ☺"

Sunway Ukulhas

"Everything was great, we were met and seen off, and the hotel is right next to the pier. Everything is modern, with nightstands with charging stations, clean, beach towels provided, and a choice of breakfasts. The only downside was the smell in the restroom, which occasionally smelled like sewage."

West Sands Ukulhas ★★★

"we were a family & we chose west sands. The family room was clean with non-beach view. The rooms were comfortable & very close access to the beach,. liked the sustainable feature like no plastic bottles but they helped with glass water bottles filled for guests. we could enjoy the sunrise & sunset & also spot the milky way"

Ukulhas Sands ★★★

"If you want to experience the genuine hospitality of the Maldives, nothing beats spending time on one of the local islands. And boy, did we get a hearty dose of warmth, friendship and sheer authenticity in Ukulhas, specifically Ukulhas Sands. Even before we arrived, the proprietor, Saeed, had helped us make arrangements for our transport, given us tips and advice on how to make the most of our time here, and generally made getting to the island fuss-free. He personally greeted us at the pier, and took on a short but informative walk to his homely premises, which we found out later was built on his family land. So basically it was an extension of his family home, and we stayed right next to his extended family - and were pretty much treated the same. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed including good wi-fi. It was on the ground floor so going in and out was easy, and the reception counter was just next door for convenient access if we needed anything. While staying at Ukulhas Sands, we also met Shau, Saeed's sister and an exceptional chef. The breakfast that's served at the hotel is cooked by her, and I recommend you choose a different set each day just to get a taste of her diverse culinary expertise. If you, like us, can't get enough of her cooking, you can walk down the street to her cafe, where she can cook up delicious local delights for dinner. You can also enjoy her home-made pastries and ice-cream as you wile away the afternoon. All of that is well and good, of course, but what about that most important feature - access to the beach? Well, no worries there - just a five minute walk in virtually any direction gets you to the sands - hence the name. We tried a different section of the island every day we were there. Our favourite spot was near a beach swing to the West of the island, which we accessed through an opening opposite a public running track/football pitch. The water is calmest there, and the sands aren't as filled with coral remnants as the other areas. Bring a beach towel, some snacks, your favourite book and you're all set for the day! All in all, Saeed and the Ukulhas Sands family made our first trip to the Maldives memorable, and we'll definitely stay here again if there's ever a second trip :P"

SeaLaVie Inn ★★★

"Our stay in Sea la Vie exceeded our expectations! The place is very well decorated from the inside out, the rooms are spacious and sparkling clean and the staff is very friendly, efficient and always willing to help you with anything you need with a big smile☺️. Breakfast is delicious (try the maldivian options!), not to mention the coffee, the best in town! The location is perfect, just minutes walking from the beach, you can go to the east or west beach to watch the sunrise or sunset🌞, both are just a couple of minutes walking. I totally recommend this Sea la Vie if you want your vacation in Maldives to be unforgettable. Hope to come back soon!☺️"

Nala Veli Beach & Spa ★★★

"Wonderful patience and availability. They even let us stay till 2 pm the last day to have a shower and to please the experience till the end."

Beach Veli ★★★

"I spent 1 month at Beach Veli while I was doing my Divemaster course with Dive Ukulhas. I was very happy staying there. My room was clean and quiet. I had the local breakfast option everyday, it was delicious! Karissa and Krishna were around everyday always saying hello and asking if I needed anything. It’s in a nice location, near a lot of restaurants and straight across from the nicest beach on the island! My room was clean, quiet and comfortable. I would definitely stay at Beach Veli again!"
