Important point: from Male to this island you need to get by domestic airlines (30 minutes) + 30 minutes. by speedboat or private plane directly from Male (30 min. )

Fiyavalhu Maldives is located on an island where the locals live, but it is fenced on all sides, because it is strictly forbidden to go outside! Due to this moment, alcohol is completely absent and forbidden, so all drinks and cocktails are non-alcoholic.

Territory: compact, everything is planted with greenery and flowers, very clean and clean. Lots of lizards, bats, crabs and more.
Cons: here you will not be able to see the sunset, because it will set on the opposite side of the island, where tourists can not enter.
Mosquitoes are just ruthless, although every night the area is treated with smoke, but it does not save the situation. Be sure to take mosquito repellents!
In some places there was a smell of sewage.
Room: very spacious, everything new, very clean.

The room has per person per day 1 liter of water (still), coffee, tea, kettle. The bathroom is open, there is nothing but shampoo and shower gel; it is very strange that there is no body lotion. Clean daily for 4/5.
Cons: the smell of sewage was present in the toilet.
Lack of standard personal care products.
The Internet seems to be present, but extremely slow, or does not work at all (consider that it does not exist).

Beach: clean, enough sunbeds, but normal access to the water is only in one place near the main restaurant, where a large number of people always gather, in other places where there are less people are large stones at the bottom, or slippery boulders through which you need to climb first to get to the ocean (right dangerous).
Cons: there is no reef, ie you will not see colored fish here, there are remnants of a dead reef, where several fish swim, but that's all.
In order to swim with the fish, you need to book a tour that costs about $ 50- $ 100.
A huge minus: there is a sewer pipe right near the shore, I understand that everything has to go somewhere, but it is extremely close, such sewage pipes must be removed at least 50 m from the island!

Food: everything is extremely tasty, but a little monotonous - rice, pasta, potatoes, various salads, etc. Of the fruits - watermelon, papaya, guava, oranges, pineapple and apples.
Cons - a lot of fried and almost no delicious sweets (maybe for some it's a plus).

Entertainment: In the evening on the island you can play sports, play table tennis, billiards, table football, or drink non-alcoholic cocktails at the bar. There is nothing more to do.
Cons: no entertainment program, you can swim in the pool only until 18.00.
