2024 Maafushi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

Maldives on a budget 💸

#coupletravel The Maldives was our first stop on the world trip, and you don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy it. For example, staying on local islands like Maafushi is a budget-friendly option. Maafushi is located in the Kaafu Atoll, about 26 kilometers (16 miles) south of the capital, Malé. It’s accessible by a 30-40 minute speedboat ride or a 90-minute public ferry from Malé. ▪️Local Island: Maafushi is a local island with guesthouses, offering a more affordable and culturally immersive experience compared to the resort islands. ▪️Pristine Beaches: While it’s a local island, Maafushi still boasts stunning beaches, especially the dedicated “Bikini Beach” where tourists can swim and sunbathe in swimsuits, as the rest of the island adheres to local customs. ▪️Water Activities: The island offers a range of water-based activities, such as snorkeling, diving, jet-skiing, and dolphin-watching trips. It's also a gateway to nearby sandbanks and resorts for day visits. #100waysoftravel #Maafushi #Maldives #LocalIsland #AffordableTravel #SnorkelingMaldives

Hotel choice in Maafushi island 👍🏻

#100WaysOfTravel #couplestrip #awesomepic #indianocean #beachy #maldives #maafushi Othen than Arena Beach Hotel, the hotel under Kaani group can be one of the top option for you to go for if you are travelling to the Maldives local Maafushi island. Same as Arena, this is a 4-stars hotel as well and also located in front of the bikini beach where you can just wear the bikini to swim here (the only place to wear bikini in Maafushi) and see the sunset directly. Reminder: - Do arrange with the hotel directly for the speedboat transfer at least 3 days in advanced as this is the only way for you to come. Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

You must try Indian Foods in Maldives 🥘🍛🇮🇳

#100WaysOfTravel #couplestrip #awesomepic #deliciousfood #maldives #maafushi #indianfood This is one of the sought after Maldivian-Indian food in Maafushi island. This restaurant is just next to our Arena Star Beach Hotel, just a stone walking distance away. The waiter was so friendly and welcoming, even offer us a free drinking water since we just ordered food (actually we just done had a drink at a small stall and we are enough with drinks). We ordered Egg Briyani and Chapati, the taste was great and strongly recommend to come try it out if you are coming over to Maafushi!

3 days 2 nights in Maafushi island 🐠🐠

#islandtours #100WaysOfTravel Maafushi island is nowadays a popular local island that the tourist will visit other than the private islands in Maldives!! No fancy resort here but you will get to enjoy the same Indian Ocean View and sunset with the same beauty level with a much more lower price. All watersports such as Parasailing, Jet Ski, Kayaking or the tour for Sunset cruise, Nurse shark tour, snorkelling tour and Dolphin cruise are available and definitely, the price is more and more cheaper making comparison with the private resort!! If you are coming to Maldives and you will be staying at least 1 week and above, do give a chance to Maafushi for a day trip OR stay for 1 night here👍🏻👍🏻 Mandatory transfer: Speedboat ( 25 min from Malé Airport) Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Mini drink stall by the beach 🍸🧉🥤

#beachcheck #100WaysOfTravel Arriving Maafushi Jetty and continue to go straight for 2-3 minutes, you will see this small stall on the left side selling the juices and smoothies. Me and my husband love it so much as we can spend like the whole hour here chilling while looking at the sea view in front of the beach !! Surprisingly, they even provide FREE Wifi so that you could surf the internet with peace of mind !!!!! A must mention thing, the boss is a young guy who is very friendly and talkative!! Had a quick chat with him and got to know that he will be moving to Bali next year as he is getting married with his Bali girlfriend soon !!! For those who visit to Maafushi this year, do not miss out this stall 👍🏻👍🏻

Hotel facing the Indian Ocean View 🐟🌊🐠🐬

#poolhotel #100WaysOfTravel 💰Average Price per room: starting from RM 450 🏖️Ambiance: 🌟🌟 - hotel is strategically located in front of the Bikini Beach where you can enjoy the view and swim over the beach. - Restaurant is spacious with a lot of outdoor seating….but there are alot ….alot…alot of cats inside, although they have put a signboard saying : DO NOT FEED THE CAT, it is still a lot of cats frolicking around, for those people with Ailurophobia, you might need to be aware of this as Im the one who got into the predicament where i cant literally eat any meals in the restaurant even my package is half board!! - There are construction on-going just right opposite of our balcony, super noisy if you stay in the room for the whole day. But if you plan to do outdoor activities, then it should be fine! 🏋🏽♀️ Facilities: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Rooftop swimming pool is the highlight of the hotel as it is direct facing the sea view!! However, the pool is rather small so not really for swimming purpose but to take instagrammable picture😆 - buggy is available. IF It is raining day and you are reaching to leaving the hotel, they will use buggy to pick you up or drop you off!! 😍 Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Initially i would give a low rating as i had a super bad experience in the restaurant (a lot of cats) and the staffs only allow me eating in the room but my husband had to eat in the restaurant. We ended up only take a plate of foods and share at the room even it is the buffet breakfast and buffet dinner!! However, good that the front desk service is super nice that they been helpful the whole stay and even helped us with our last min arrangement of the speedboat service👍🏻 Overall experience: 🌟🌟🌟

The ONLY bikini beach in Maafushi 👙

#beachcheck #bikinibeach #maafushi #maldives When everyone think of Maldives, it is all about the sun, the sea and swim with bikini !! But, do you know that Maldives is a 100% Islamic country and you will not be allowed to wear bikini at all if you are staying in their local island. Staying in Maafushi, tourism is evolving nowadays and more and more tourists worldwide visiting here to enjoy the beautiful Indian Ocean view and the sun. The only 1 Bikini Beach is then opened just right in front of the famous Arena Beach Hotel and Kaani hotel allowing the tourists to take a sunbath 👍🏻👍🏻 The sea, no doubt is super clear and clean but the sand is not really fine so it is hard to build a sand castle!! Personally i feel great enough as the sunset is super duper beautiful from the beach 👍🏻 Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Maafushi is our first stop for the Maldives trip and the experience was pleasant and memorable. We remember there are a lot of cats wandering around the island and also at the hotel buffet area too. Really enjoyed this place!

🏢 At the top of Maldives!

#infinitypool Stayed here in this Arena Beach Hotel in Maafushi, Maldives. We thought that it was a great place to blend into the Maldivian locals. Though this island is on its way to be developed to something like Male island. But I think that it is strike between city and chilling island, just nice! Not to mention, their rooftop swimming pool is at another level where you can have full view of the sea!

Snorkeling in Maldives is AMAZING!
