About the island

Why stay here

Safari Island has a good natural environment and is adjacent to famous diving sites such as Fish Head Coral Reef; all this gives the hotel a distinctive character. The lagoon is 7-8 meters from the beach, and snorkeling and diving allow you to see live coral and many colorful fish. The diving environment reaches A-level standards. It is one of the most cost-effective resort islands in the Maldives. Because it is surrounded by soft beaches, clear lagoons and house reefs, Safari Island attracts snorkeling and diving enthusiasts to vacation here, and its lush tropical garden scenery brings you a fresh and pleasant feeling.

Highlights

Relatively high cost performance, suitable for friends with limited budgets and low requirements for accommodation conditions

Before you go

Very good among four-star islands, but the service is not as good as higher-star hotels.
