Find hotels near Male International Airport in Male City and Airport, Maldives

We needed to be at Male International Airport earlier than the seaplane could transport us from our island, so we came the evening before and stayed one night. The airport pick up worked well. We went to the information desk and they phoned the hotel and they arrived about 5 minutes later. The room was small, but had ensuite facilities, bottled water in a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The staff weer friendly and helpul. We ate at the hotel restaurant and the food was fine. We had a good night's sleep as it was quiet enough. Would recommend for a stopover but don't expect luxury!

Best place to spend a day or two if you are planning to be in Male (short distance from the airport) and then fly off to your booked resort. The staff was very courteous, starting from the hotel driver to receptionist to restaurant staff. Absolutely perfect! Neat and clean hotel bang on the beach. A value for money hotel. Enjoyed our short stay and would recommend to travellers to Male.

We had a excellent stay at the Vista Beach Retreat. Arrived at Male airport in late evening and hadn't arranged transport, information centre at the airport called the hotel and they came and picked us up at the airport. Arrived at the hotel and were greeted with juice and cold towel. We ordered room service which was very nice. Breakfast is served down stairs also very good. Would recommend this hotel for stop over for Maldives islands if you have a late night flight, as it is situatated very close to airport and no need for a ferry to Male city. The staff were excellent, rooms were clean and new.

Booking the UI Inn comes with your private chauffeur who will pick you up on arriving at Male International Airport and also take you back there for your return flight. I was welcomed by the owner himself, Mister Nasih, who was very helpful to meet all my needs, as were the rest of the staff. The hotel is a perfect location for a city trip to Male, via the frequently running 24/7 ferry with the jetty in walking distance from the hotel. Or just to relax on the near-by beach after a long trip or before retunring back home on a long-haul flight. Thank you very much for the warm welcome.

hulhule hotel is very convenient for those who arrive late in male and need to transit to other atoll by seaplane on the next day. this hotel is the one and only hotel located on the same island with male international airport. you will find free shuttle from male int' airport to the hotel almost every 5 minutes. they serve early but very basic breakfast started from 4am.

White Harp Beach Hotel is conveniently located less than 10mins transfer from the airport that was included in our stay. Hotel is directly facing the beach where you can dine & chill with shisha. The room was new, very clean & well decorated. Staffs were friendly & helpful. Rooftop with a view of the beach is great for phototaking but was left as a storage area. Breakfast was just eggs, toast & baked beans. Overall a nice transit hotel recommended for your stay upon arrival at Maldives Velana international airport before you head to your private islands in the morning.

Has been stayed for 1 night and my experience really unexpected,4 star hotel but the service is like 5 star hotel. Here’s the reason why the service is 5 star : 1- When we arrived at the airport, Mr. Jamaludin has waited with the hotel signage that clearly can be seen when exiting the arrival hall. He is also very friendly & polite and gave us info on which internet data that is good for tourist. Waiting time for the van to transfer also not too long. 2- When arrived at the hotel,we are welcomed by the manager Mr. Ibrahim which is really friendly & polite. They greet us with welcome drink & wet tissue which is good. The process for check in also really fast & smooth, our luggage was delivered to our room. 3- We had a very clean Superior Deluxe Double room & really satisfied with our stay that night. 4- Breakfast was very nice and well prepared by the staff. They even served freshly prepared watermelon juice! 5- Finally tranfering to the airport for check out, Mr. Jamaludin again did a good and excellence work that he called the resort for my next check in to confirm the boat transfer to the Island. Van person Mr. Areef very friendly and he share a lot of information about Maldive when we on our way to the airport. Such a good and excellence experience we had to this hotel,truly from my heart all the staff of this hotel really friendly and helpfull. We will definitely come to this hotel again for staying. Thanks a lot Mr. Ibrahim,Mr. Jamaludin ,Mr. Areef and all the staff when we stay from 9/9/18(10pm) until 10/9/18(9.30am)🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We booked the Avenue and Spa for one night after we touched down at Male International Airport. Airport pick up was included, which is very convenient, its a ten-minute ride from the airport. The hotel is very new. Upon check in, we had our dinner at the small cafe area, food and service was good. We were watching soccer at the cafe and the service staff was very accommodating, he even turn on the television in our room to the soccer channel so that we could continue watching right as we walked into the room. Great service. The room is clean and spacious, many channels on the tv, the bed is big and comfortable. It's situated near the beach, although we were rushed for time the next morning, we managed a short walk along the beach. Breakfast the next morning is good too. Left the hotel on a happy note. Once again, thank you to the staff at The Avenue and Spa.

Most of the Island resorts are not providing speed boat or sea plane survive during the night time. Therefore, the tourists have to find a place stay in the capital or the surround. My husband and I did that. I bet that most of the visitors not spending too much time on searching a place for that night. If so, I would highly recommend people to take this as a opinion to minimize your time on searching. We arrived Male international airport at 10:30 p.m.. Once we stepped out the airport, a boy held a board with my name on it. He helped us to catch an Airport Express van (We had to wait for around 15 mins for this van). After 10 mins traveling, we arrived and did the check-in. We had a welcome drink and received a very warming greeting from the hotel owner and his family. We stayed in a superior room which had a great sea-view. Facilities in room were new and very clean. But I would suggest to add something to kill the mosquito because I got bitten. The next day, we had a free great breakfast before we departed to the island resort, awesome!Overall, it is worth to stay in this hotel.

Spent 1 night here. Great service to & fro airport. Bed was not very nice to sleep in though. Do not expect buffet style breakfast. It's cooked individually simple English breakfast. Overall a fuss free 1 night stay at Male before we head to our resort. By the way, view to top of 4th floor no longer has that sea view. Many buildings are coming up in front of the hotel. And quite some mosquitos and flies outside hotel. Try stay indoors as much as possible. Quite value for $ for this hotel compared to others similar ones near Male international airport.

We booked one night stay because our flight arrived Male in late evening, we requested their free airport transfer. The P.I.C show up right after we finished buying our sim card and change our money, in which did not keep us waiting for few hours just like other common reviews from travelers to Maldives. Warm greetings and welcoming from hotel staffs once we arrived to Lonuveli, so sweet. View from room is breathtaking! Simple buffet breakfast is served, i think is nice. Regarding the cleanliness, one bed bug was accidentally found on our bed sheet. Their toilet unable to flush on the next morning before we left, abit disappointed on this, perhaps due to lower level users did not use the toilet properly?! Despite small problems occurs, in overall, Hotel Lonuveli is quite good and worth to stay.

Few good things about the place 1. It's located at hulhumale which is way better than going to the crowded male island and yet get a feel of the locals and local cusine 2. It gives a nice view of the sea specially in case you're at the top floors. 3. The staff is really good and helpful. They will really help you out with almost everything 4. It's located in hulhumale where you can walk the entire island and see things which gives you a good time to explore male before you head out to your luxurious Holiday resort. 5. It gives you a chance to have good food from local Restaurants.Bombay darbar is one good one if you want good Indian food A few cons are 1. Don't take the hotel pickup drop from the airport as it costs 10 Dollars per trip whereas the local taxi at the airport will drop you from 8 dollars. 2. There are buildings which are coming up ahead of the lodge and this in another year or so you'll no longer have the beach view. Overall it's a good bet and value for 💰.

The stuff here are very friendly. They will assist you for your next resort to be check in by personally called the resort you have booked , also to ensure that your transport has been arrange accordingly . This is plus mark for those who will travel by seaplane or speedboat to your next day resort as in i was kind of worry is my seaplane ticket are booked accordingly , this hotel stuff is ensuring i got my ticket booked. Another must to mention is , the driver is actually the OWNER of the resort. His humbleness has give us a warm welcome to Male , and he is doing the loading and unloading our luggage from the car without any assistance. Wonderful down to earth owner and showing us the warmest Maldivian.

Was staying at Express in for a 2 day trip to Male. Rooms were clean. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Knew a lot about the island of Hulhumale thanks to them. Location is practically perfect. It's right next to the beach. A restaurant is right in front of it. There's a grocery just down the street, which is no more than a minute walk away. The town center is also just 3 - 5 minutes away by walking. And the ferry terminal to Male is 15 minutes away. Oh and the bus stop is also right in front of it so you can easily get a cheap ride to the airport. Overall, good value for money thanks to clean rooms and the great location.

I am so lucky to book Plankton beach hotel be my trip to Maldives. Athif is a very nice guy help me a lot b4 I arrived he is so responsible person to reply yr mail very quick. He pick up you in the airport with the hotel car. And the hotel is around 10 min from airport. When I check in the hotel room I find the room is very clean nice room face up the beach and the bed is comfortable. All decorations is model basic on the price this is a good deals to get what I pay for.

I had a 1-night stay before I moved to the resorts. The hotel is brand new and the rooms even though being rather small they are very efficient (was surprised to see that even a 110V adapter was provided). In my opinion the best option if you want to stay close to the airport and experience local life. There is a new restaurant next to the hotel that provides great service from breakfast to dinner; I recommend though you walk around the city (that is perfectly safe) and try some of the local restaurants too. The greatest advantage of the hotel is their genuinely kind and attentive staff. Not only they catered to all of my needs, but they also arranged for a local guide to take me to Male at night and show my the local attractions!!! Regarding the city, you have to understand that it is a work on progress; there is a lot of construction and there is a lot of rubbish on the streets. In general I found the locals to be very welcoming and hospitable!! Great choice if you're on a budget, want to be close to the airport or want to experience local life!!

I stayed 1 night for transfer from airport to local island maafushi. The hotel is in the same island with Velena airport, so I don't have to take ferry to Male since we arrived in late night. They provide airport transfer that were made very easy for us. Only takes 10 mnt from airport to hotel. It is beach front. Watching sunrise and have snack in balcony was so fun. The room compact and clean with sea view balcony. We were really satisfied choose this hotel! The lady in front desk also very helpful, patiently explained how to reach Maafushi island by local transport. They also provide exchange to local currency with good. Everything was great! Very recommend hotel and definately will come back if we visit Maldives again.

We stayed at the Elite Inn overnight after arriving into Male International Airport before taking our connecting flight to our resort. The hotel is conveniently located 5 minutes from the airport on the airport’s island which saves a lot of time as you do not need to take a ferry into Male. The staff was extremely friendly; the hotel is new with small but very nice rooms.

We stayed in Koamas lodge for 1 night after a week long holiday on one of the islands. We were looking for a place close to the airport as our flight was departing at 7am the following morning. I made a mistake in my booking and the room was booked for a day later but the hotel staff were very understanding and gave us a room without any extra charges, we were also upgraded to the deluxe room instead of the standard room we paid for. The next morning we had to leave at 4.45 am to the airport and the hotel staff were nice enough to prepare for us coffee before we left even though the breakfast is served only at 7 am. The drive to the airport is only 10 minutes and it was all arranged by the Koamas lodge. There is also a bus stop very close to the hotel.I would definitely stay there again and will advise my friends to do the same.

flew in late at night. Hotel is not far from airport and do not take the ferry across to Mele like we did. The Hotel will arrange pickup at airport if you notify them in advance . we used this hotel for a overnight stay before boarding a Trans Air Maldive float plane flight to our island resort in the Maldives . Hotel not too big , more like a boutique hotel. .. beach is literally across the next street. good satellite cable tv , very very comfortable mattress like a pillow-top. Staff very accommodating and really outstanding. they have their own van that will take you airport for $10 which is justifiable since the island is very limited with taxis . breakfast was very small which was ok for a one stay. i would definitely rebook this place and probably stay two nights instead of one next time

I arrived hot and exhausted -- and although on the taxi ride over I could gaze at the phenomenal color of the water , the only thing I wanted to do was cool off and re-group from my long flight. I was able to do that and more at Le Vieux Nice Inn. Greeted with a fresh towel and tropical drink at reception started my experience. Staff was upbeat and friendly, and helped me get settled in quickly. After a much needed (air conditioned)rest and shower, I went downstairs to dinner -- very tasty. The beach is only a few yards away and although it isn't best for casual sunbathing (book one of the hotel's excursions instead) it's perfect for an evening or morning stroll. Breakfast was great as well. Everyone made sure that I wanted for nothing during my stay. I had never been to Male before and the hotel's taxi service from airport to my connecting ferry and back was seamless. In the essence of time I had also booked another night before my departing flight from Male and I'm so very glad I did -- perfect beginning and end to my Maldives trip.

Across the street from the beach and is a great deal for less than 2,000THB before taxes. Maldives is not cheap. It is an easy walk around the area for different shops and a fair price for the taxi service to the airport. I highly suggest you taking the water taxi across to the downtown island and go to the Market - go behind at beach side around 5PM and look for the stingrays coming in to feed!
