Best hotel in Island”
We have been here for 4 nights and 5 days. This place is just awesome and no doubt in that. But we found only difficulties in Gujarati food. We need to walk around 200 mtrs from hotel for one of the Indian Cuisine restaurant for our daily food. But overall our honeymoon experience at this hotel and island is just awesome

Wonderland! ”
Very good place with the best buffet ever! We stayed here a full week and the food selection was vast and diverse! We were afraid about eating the same but no no, thanks to the management and chef! Good pool with view, good shows at night and dj and movie time, super friendly staff. Adrian the guy who sells tours is very committed to give you the best packages and manage it all from the start till the end! I’d absolutely come back to MAFUSHI!! Guys don’t miss the scuba diving tour for your sanity! You’re in Maldives, go to see fish and good corals! Also, ask the guys to use drones in each of your activity and pay the extra, extremely worthy!!!!!! Thanks and thanks! The best part is the sense of community the owner has built there. Staff will eat the same food as guest at the end of the long working day AMAZING! Example to the world!

Great value, exceptional hospitality!”
As a solo female traveler, my experience at Arena was remarkable. The hotel is very welcoming, homely, and comfortable. I felt safe and had a beautiful view of the beach. My stay was short, but I would definitely recommend this hotel, especially if you are visiting Maafushi on a low budget. It would be great if they had a gym, but other than this, everything else was fantastic.

Exceptional Place ”
If you're planning to stay in Maafushi Island, Arena Beach Hotel is the best option for you. I booked a room with sea view and that made my stay already! It was beautiful and rooms are clean and modern. I was welcomed by Zara and she was very friendly and kind. Staff were great. Not a lot of options though if you are a vegetarian, but other restos in the area will have options for you. Really enjoyed my stay here.

Great location and a wild ride going there!”
Just two Filipinos who highly loved our stay here. It was for our honeymoon and they pulled out all the stops. Lovely honeymoon message made out of flowers n palm leaves on our bed. We also received a cake! Staff is also amazing. Look for Etel, Trisna, Mae, Shudeep, and the Egyptian Man with the Bucket Hat (you can't miss him). Food 10/10 (highly recommended to order from their ala carte menu), Service 10/10, Location 10/10, Room 9/10 (signs of aging). Highly highly recommended to stay here!

Awesome location and services”
This hotel is 30 min from Speedboat Male airport and at a 3 min walk from Maafushi harbour. They've a perfect location with a private beach right beside the famous bikini beach. Their excursions are at excellent rates and with such experienced instructors. Trust me, you could pay 10-20$ additional with other excursion companies but you won't get the same exceptional quality services as Arena beach team offers. We did half day snorkeling and all the water sports activities (parasailing, jet ski, kayak, knee boarding, fun tube) and it was an experience of a lifetime. Please book this hotel for living a lavish life in Maldives :)

Very professional and friendly) (Mr Paul and Zara for making sure we have everything we need) (And Toriq, the very pleasant staff assigned to our floor and decorated our bed for my bday!) We only planned on staying for 4 days but we liked it so much we extended for 1 more day! We will definitely come back. No need to look elsewhere. Arena Grand is the best place to stay in Maafushi. See you all soon again!

Arena Beach Hotel is the best value hotel”
Arena Beach Hotel is the best value hotel you can have when you choose to stay at Maafushi Island. My Fiancé and I really enjoy our stay. Everything is smooth the staff are superb they are the most accommodating staff ever very attentive with all your request and concern they will always ask you if you need anything else or if you want something. we also did our Island hopping to them since most of the tour company around maafushi are the same. The value of money is worth it and our room is really nice we stayed at deluxe room with balcony and city view but it doesn’t look city at all since we have the beach view as well. We will definitely come back to Arena for our next Maldives trip.

Nice Experience: Good Location, Friendly staff 10/10”
The Hotel is located at beach front. The hotel staff is very friendly, I especially want to mention 2 names in their staff for amazing experience, Ms. Victoria at the Tour desk and Brij in their restaurant. There was live music and DJ party during our stay which made our travel memorable. We took the excursion from the tour desk of the hotel and had good experience even they arranged Veg meal for us.

Great experience ”
Arena hotel is wonderful place for a budget traveller. Hotel location is as good as it get. Food is the best you can have in Maafushi. Doesn’t matter which cuisine you like. Staff is very prompt and friendly. View from Infiniti pool or sea facing room are just as beautiful as it can get. Breakfast options are limited. Hotel is very practical. Don’t expect carpets as it’s on beach with sand every where. We already plan to visit Maldives again & Maafushi island & arena hotel will surely be in our list.

This is a very economy stay with all the facilities we have ever got anywhere till date. This part of the island is very happening.
