Viva Beach and Spa Maldives

We really like this otel and also all staff are so kindly :)

Sehr empfehlenswert! Fantastischer und unvergesslicher Urlaub mit einer Gruppe von Familien und Kindern (12 Erwachsene und 16 Kinder). Wir haben das gesamte Gebäude (12 Zimmer) bewohnt, das einfach, aber sauber und sehr hübsch ist und nur wenige Meter vom kristallklaren Meer der Malediven entfernt liegt. Das Personal ist einfach wundervoll, immer verfügbar und bestrebt, Ihnen mit viel Lächeln und viel Freundlichkeit das Beste zu bieten! Ein wahrer Genuss! Ausflüge zu den nahe gelegenen Atollen machen Ihren Urlaub einzigartig! Ruhe, Entspannung und unbeschreibliche Farben! Das Personal kümmert sich um alles: Wasser, Mittagessen, Snack, Pavillon, Musik ... man fühlt sich wirklich wie in einem irdischen Paradies! Herzlichen Dank an unseren lieben Arif und das gesamte Personal!!

Nice hotel with a private beach area. Front beach was maintained well and clean every day. Sea View room was best in the hotel. good lobby area and tasty foods with helpful staffs. Daily excursions are available and a special guide available every time.

One of the best holiday in Maldives. The hotel is on the beach of island. But the front beach is not the bikini beach. Bikini beach is almost 8 minutes walking distace from hotel. But on the front beach hotel we do relaxing on sunbed and chairs with shorts and T shirts. The hotel arrange special dinners and breakfast on this beach. Best part of this hotel is their amazing excursions. We did Dream Island trip, Manta trip and a Sandbank trip with the special excursion guide called Samad. All the staffs are very friendly and helpful.

Spotlessly clean rooms lovely Breakfast basic but ok Staff helpful the island is not tourist friendly looks like a junk yard all Over island which you walk round in 20 mins. Tourist beach is only place you can wear a swimsuit you walk through a boat yard to get to it again full of old rubbish. The hotel advertises beach front whilst it is the beach had rubbish washed up they do Not clean up and you have to have a t shirt on at all times to use You are greater at hotel with a list of Dont’s Make sure you take a good insect repellent we got eaten alive Food the same everywhere in the handful of cafes they are not restaurants do don’t expect anything fancy Vegetable fried rice $10 hotel charge double for the same You have to take your shoes off before entering however reception area does not have a floor only sand We stayed 3 nights and this was more than enough

Nice new hotel facing the sea. Our room with a balcony had a spectacular sea view. The room was new and perfect, clean with silent air conditioning and safe. They will organise your transfer from/to Male and propose a variety of day excursions. The hotel has a nice garden with table and chairs to relax. It is a nice option in this beautiful little local island.

Viva beach and spa is situated in the heart of a local island allowing you to experience and take in the culture and life of local residents who live there. Everyone you meet on the island are friendly and welcoming, especially those who work at Viva beach. Due to it not being a resort island you need to respect the Muslim culture when outside your room and Viva in covering your shoulders and legs, not showing PDA etc. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the (bikini beach) which is for tourists to use however you can visit any other local beach but should remain covered. Viva is a fabulous hotel, and cheaper (including deals) when booking directly through their website. It is a new building with clean, fresh decor and linens, aircon and the best shower ❤️ the sea view is lovely to wake up to from their comfy beds. They have a safe in the room and toiletries,towels included (along with a designated beach towel). Their food is delicious and plentiful, the buffet breakfast is $6, lunch/dinner $10 pp from their menu. They are incredibly attentive and genuinely wish to give each guest the best stay from food to rooms, to excursions. Raj was fantastic on the snorcaling safari, especially when I was anxious initially. Abdulla, Raj, Mohammed and the team shared their culture with me through food, drink and talking it was one of the best parts of my trip, including a tour to show me the little spots like the oldest tree on the island, the oldest mosque on the island and the schools, shops and cafes. As a solo female traveller I had moved from another island after a bad experience and Viva were first class from pick up from the speedboat to leaving. Hotels on the island are ran by the same family (brothers, cousins, uncles) so you're safe wherever you are on the island. I would recommend anyone who wants to go for a relaxing holiday in the Maldives, with the option of excursions and experiencing another culture. The excursions are endless from ocean activities, beach from dinners, private island trips, even dining with a Maldivian family the list is endless. Island use US Dollars and speedboat is 90 minutes at $40

Ottima sistemazione sull’isola. Camere nuove, impianti nuovi. Grande gentilezza da parte di tutto lo staff sempre pronti ad esaudire ogni desiderio. Cibo ottimo ed abbondante (non così scontato su queste isole). Provvedono anche al trasferimento da e per Male (grazie Adam per l’assistenza). La spiaggia per i turisti si raggiunge in 5 minuti di camminata. Un grazie particolare anche al manager molto attento ad ogni dettaglio. Che altro dire? Siamo stati proprio bene!!!
