Fantastic views, perfect location and scrumptious

This is a perfect getaway. The property is as good as a 5*. You won’t miss the facilities, cleanliness and services. The staff is helpful and friendly. The views are spectacular. One thing I’d like to highlight is the quality of food. The chef is so amazing that you’ll not feel it’s less than a 5* meal. Articulate presentation, and every dish was tastier than you could anticipate.

This guest house is literally like an hotel. Super modern and amazing conditions, the rooms are very cozy and with great ambience. The best part is the rooftop restaurant, hands down the best place to eat in the whole island, amazing view and great food! I want to give a special mention to Linda, the front office manager. She’s got amazing customer service and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Furthermore my little sister tested positive for covid and we had to extend her stay for quarantine and Linda really looked after/took great care of her. 5 stars hospitality! I would definitely recommend to stay in here.

What a hidden gem!

What a great hotel! This is truly a hidden gem. The property is located about 100 meters from the ferry pier and you are greeted by staff upon arrival. The property has only 4 rooms and run by a very tight group of very friendly staff that will ensure you have a great stay. Breakfast was included and quite tasty. Cannot be the location. Step out the front door and walk 20 meters to the semi private beach. The beaches are public however the staff sets up umbrellas and chairs on the beach for each room so you never have to worry about reserving a chair. Keep in mind this is still a local beach so you are expected to dress accordingly and respect the rules. (Men in shorts and women must cover shoulder usually just wear a short) The host even took us for a quick walk around the island to show us where everything is located. The bikini beach is about 5 mins away however we used it very little while there since we had our own slice of paradise. Only downfall is another couple brought their drones and disturbed everyone else as I guess staff was too afraid to say anything. Note: this is a Muslim community and you are visiting their home. Prayer is broadcasted 5 times a day. Follow the rules for beaches. There is construction happening throughout the island so you will hear noise throughout the day but did not bother us.

We are having a very nice experience in Luau Beach Inn. Room is comfortable , fresh, clean and nice window facing the beach (room # 1). Shower also confortable with plenty of hot water . Breackfast is also very good(a la carte). We are always having dinner her and it is delicious! The chef is very good. Also you can have a BBQ at night outside very delicious. Over all the island is small but very relaxing.

relax in heaven

an amazing place, such natural, nice waters, great people, so relaxing place. if you want to escape from the noisy cities, this is the place. if you want to stay on sands and in waters, not shops, this is place. but it does have convenient stores where you can just buy everything you need.

Helt fantastisk lille perle med de sødeste mennesker. Man føler sig utrolig velkommen med det samme. Alt er rent og lækkert, virkelig god service. Vi havde udsigt mod øen - ville klart foretrække at de mod havet men det var udsolgt. Jeg vil anbefale alle at besøge Fulidhoo og bo på dette skønne hotel.

La migliore guesthouse di Fulidhoo e ho avuto modo di vederne diverse! Linda, la responsabile, disponibile in ogni momento fin da prima della partenza, ha saputo organizzare tutto alla perfezione! Sempre presente anche via whatsapp. Struttura simil hotel, nuovissima, camera super accessoriata con tanto di borsa mare, telo e borraccia. Staff professionale e disponibile, ristorante ottimo, il migliore dell’isola. Consigliato al 💯

Ren afslapning

Super dejligt sted. Du skal være indstillet på, at der ikke er så meget at foretage sig, andet end afslapning, bade, snorkle, hygge, spise og så selvfølgelig de muligheder der er med at fiske, snorkling og forskellige aktiviteter til vands. Alt i alt et dejlig sted.

Основной плюс — близость к пляжу

От пляжа до двери буквально несколько шагов. Пляж чистый, вход в море довольно крутой для ребенка. Под водой иногда встречаются камни, кораллы, еще что то колючее. С одной стороны рядом пристань, иногда подплывают катера. Отель для непритязательных туристов, на некоторые вещи приходится не обращать внимания (бывает неприятный запах воды в душе, нет звукоизоляции комнат, об уборке в номере нужно напоминать). Серьезный минус - каждую ночь будит «певец» из соседней мечети, именно часа в три ночи. В целом отдохнули нормально.

Super freundliches Personal, wirklich unbeschreiblich, das zuvorkommend ist, hilfsbereit und viel erzählt, wunderschöner Ausblick, direkt neben dem Bikinibeach, gutes Essen, einziges kleines Manko ist die Sauberkeit die verbesserungsfähig wäre, allem in allem aber wirklich ein traum und jedem zu empfehlen!

Ottima vacanza in un posto speciale

Luau Beach è una delle migliori guesthouse dell'isola. E' fronte mare, nel tratto di spiaggia più bella dell'isola. La vista che si ha di fronte è spettacolare. C'è una cucina a disposizione degli ospiti anche se vi consiglio di far fare tutto ad Hussein, il cuoco, molto simpatico, professionale e soprattutto... BRAVO! La pulizia della camera è stata fatta 1 volta a metà vacanza. Le camere sono grandi e dotate di a/c, frigo e ventola. C'è anche una doccia esterna per chi vuole lavarsi alla luce del sole. A pochi metri c'è la moschea dell'isola; chi ha il sonno leggero potrebbe svegliarsi presto... Infine bisogna considerare che accettano pagamenti con carta di credito; non ce ne sono molti a Fulidhoo e per chi non ama viaggiare con molti contanti come me è un aspetto importante.

Guest house di fronte ad una laguna bellissima

Soggiornato per una settimana in questa piccola guest house ( solo 4 camere) e dopo l ' impatto dei primi due giorni se si riesce ad entrare nei ritmi dell 'isola andrà tutto nel migliore dei modi . Chiaramente esiste una bikini beach ma no troppo grande , d' altra parte anche L isola è molto piccola ma molto bella . Il valore aggiunto della guest house è lo staff sempre pronto ad aiutarti in qualsiasi richiesta e Hussein lo chef tuttofare fantastico ..vacanza diversa ma molto bella ..grande tristezza nel lasciare quel piccolo mondo fatto di pua semplicità
