Paradise Island Beach

At the first moment we were disappointed because of the area around the hotel in Hulhumale. It was relatively dirty and scary at the evening. But the hotel is clean and the stuff is kind. We recommend this hotel for 1 or 2 days because of the area around. At the nearest beach you cant swim in bikini so you have to go 10min to a tourist beach.

Excellent option for a layover in Male. Excellent airport pick-up, clean rooms and lovely staff. Cannot recommend it enough.

We chose this hotel because our flight left early in the morning and we couldn't leave the other small island so early. So we ended up adding an overnight stay here. Airport transfer worked great. We were contacted via WhatsApp with all the information. Someone was standing at the information desk at the airport with the "Amber Beach" sign in their hand. The hotel is about 20 minutes away. Room is small but clean. We got an "upgrade" to the sea side. Upstairs there is a rooftop bar with a view of the sea. Room was relatively noisy on the 1st floor, downstairs is the kitchen to the restaurant and outside the street. There are a few small Asian-style restaurants and cafés nearby. Found a burger place with a bit of a walk (about 15 minutes). Otherwise you can wander the streets but you have to get used to the looks of the locals (as a European you stand out a lot). Hotel highly recommended for a stopover!
