CasaParadiso
The place with soul (and a barbecue by the sea)
You will not be greeted by corporate-trained receptionists with artificial smiles. They will be sincerely pleased to see you, like a friend they have been waiting for.
Between the hotel and the beach is a “palm park” — tables, loungers, hammocks… in the cool shade. It is not a restaurant. It is not a bar. But you can have your lunch there, stretch out with a book or barbecue your fish. Assuming you caught one, of course. If you didn't, someone will catch you one 😊.
The beach is wide and peaceful, with room both for people who slather on SPF 50 and for those who think a tan only kicks in after their fifteenth hour in the sun.
And the best part is that THE reef starts just a few metres from shore. No boat, no excursion, just a mask — and you step into an astonishing underwater film in which everyone has a starring role: thousands of fish, anemones, curious little sharks, majestic turtles, moray eels and, with a bit more luck, rays or even dolphins. Leave your towel or book under the palms and you will still find it there the next day.
The hotel has a boat. And it is not there for decoration. This is all-inclusive for the soul. From before dawn until after dark, the boat can take you on just about every Maldivian excursion imaginable: mantas, fishing, fish feeding, resort visits and more. No agencies. No Viber groups.
There is no luxury at the hotel, but all the essentials are there: air conditioning, a bathroom, a kettle, a fan, a TV, a fridge and a safe. There are 14 rooms in total, 7 on each floor. Four are SeaView — meaning you see the palms between you and the ocean. Only the two upstairs SeaView rooms have terraces. Those can comfortably accommodate a family of 4 or even 5. There is also an interior family room with two connecting bedrooms. All the other rooms are doubles, with the option of a third bed or a cot. If a pool and a jacuzzi are must-haves, try another island — or another destination altogether 😊
I recommend having breakfast at the hotel, because the restaurants do not open that early. There is a simple buffet, with a taste of local food too: mas huni with roshi (a Maldivian breakfast — try it at least once).
The hotel has a drinking-water filtration system — instead of buying bottled water, you simply swap your empty bottle for a full one.
What you will enjoy and remember:
- proper beach comfort without jostling with other tourists
- fish, palms, snorkelling and a barbecue — without leaving the hotel
- a boat for excursions: say what you would like to do, and it happens
- an atmosphere you cannot explain — you have to feel it
Expected seasonal rates: USD 110–150 (a room for two with breakfast)
