What a lovely place. Just 56 rooms and it takes just 10-15 mins to walk around the whole island. A family run business. We stayed here just a few nights. It is so relaxing. My wife asked me if she had died and gone to heaven!! If your looking for the personal touch this is the place for you. Very... More

Just returned from a 7 day family holiday at Ranveli Village. It is a pretty island surrounded by a beautiful reef which is excellent for snorkelling. The hotel is clean and our rooms were relatively spacious. They are a little dated, but nothing to worry about. The AC was efficient. All the paths are made of sand, so it's hard... More

We spent 9 great days at Ranveli Village. The hotel arranged the transportation from the airport by seaplane. We waited 1h30 minutes on arrival from Europe and it took then another hour to get eventually to the village. The whole structure seemed a bit old and needs some refurbishment; the room and bed was really large and good with airco... More

Gr8 place we had a very relaxing holiday. Make sure you scuba dive & explore th reef around the island. Dive centre guys are very helpful. Snorkeling was good too. Enjoyed the night dive too. Food was alright the. we saw some stunning sunsets on the sandbar near the beach.

The hotel location was beautiful and there was plenty of swimming/snorting right around the island that the hotel is on. We arrived at the hotel from a sea plane - need to arrive by 4pm in Male otherwise you have to wait for the next day. After landing, we were starved a drink and lunch while we filled in our... More

Third time in South Ari Atoll and decided to stay for 5 nights after spending a week on a liveaboard, diving. Resort is small & very quiet, ideal for chilling out, but is looking tired and dated as is over 20 years old. Rooms are basic but kept spotless by the housekeeping staff. As other reviewers have mentioned, the food... More
