Kiha Beach

Fiquei em um quarto deluxe com varanda por 4 noites por ~USD140/noite. LOCALIZAÇÃO Vim para as Maldivas para ver arraias-manta e para esse propósito Dharavandhoo é perfeito, leva apenas cerca de 15 minutos de barco para chegar onde as mantas se reúnem. Quanto à localização do hotel, Dharavandhoo é uma ilha pequena, então a localização não importa muito. CHEGADA O hotel enviará um carrinho de golfe para pegar os hóspedes no aeroporto. Se houver alguns hóspedes chegando ao mesmo tempo, o check-in demorará um pouco, mas não há problema, pois não temos pressa. QUARTO O quarto tem um tamanho decente, tudo limpo, o ar condicionado é forte, o que é importante devido ao clima quente e úmido. A roupa de cama é razoavelmente confortável. O sinal da TV não funcionou quando cheguei, mas eles conseguiram alguém para consertar algumas horas depois, ficou bom para o resto da estadia. Wi-Fi estável e rápido o suficiente para streaming e também para enviar todas as minhas fotos e vídeos do celular para a nuvem. COMIDA O café da manhã é bom, ovos cozidos na hora, adoro o hash brown. Almocei e jantei algumas vezes, mas devo dizer que a comida foi bem decepcionante no geral. O satay de frango estava tão seco que mesmo comê-lo com molho não ajudou muito, o peixe estava sem graça e sem molho suficiente, e o brócolis e a carne estavam muito salgados. O sanduíche de atum e a pizza eram decentes. A maioria das refeições custava cerca de US$ 20, incluindo 26% de imposto. Eu esperava muitos pratos principais de frutos do mar no menu e fiquei surpreso com a falta deles. A la carte pode demorar um pouco, mas você pode pedir com antecedência. PASSEIOS Fiz 4 excursões de arraias-manta com o hotel durante minha estadia, cada nado com arraias-manta custa US$ 60 (sem impostos). Você basicamente espera a recepção ligar e depois vai até o saguão e o resto é resolvido. Você pode pegar emprestado um kit de snorkel e um colete salva-vidas sem custos adicionais. Nas 2 primeiras excursões, não havia muitas arraias-manta, mas a experiência foi adorável, pois não havia muitas outras pessoas na água. No dia em que havia muitas mantas (contei 50 mantas em 50 segundos em um dos meus vídeos!), foi um caos absoluto, pois havia muitas pessoas e muitas estavam chutando e você mal conseguia se mover, não é culpa da Kiha Beach, mas para que os outros saibam. Ainda assim, vale a pena por essa visão espetacular. Todos têm permissão para ficar apenas 45 minutos na água, o guia controlará o tempo e lembrará quando for a hora de voltar para o barco. Eles têm barcos de tamanhos diferentes, dependendo de quantos hóspedes do hotel estão fazendo isso, todos foram fáceis de voltar. Uma coisa que eu não sabia ou de antemão era que existe algum tipo de sistema para a Baía de Hanifaru, onde a prioridade é dada às ilhas locais e ilhas de resort em dias diferentes. Então, se você realmente quer ver a loucura das mantas, é melhor ficar alguns dias e fazer o máximo de excursões possível para aumentar suas chances. Depois de um dos nados com mantas, o guia ouviu falar de um tubarão-baleia nas proximidades. Fomos questionados se queríamos nadar com ele. Haverá custos extras para aqueles que desejam entrar na água. Desconhecido

Wonderful Experience at Kiha Hotel! I recently stayed at Kiha Hotel, and it was an unforgettable experience. The property is stunning, surrounded by natural beauty and offering breathtaking views. The rooms are modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with all the comforts you could ask for. The staff truly stood out – they were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make my stay special. The dining options were fantastic, with a variety of delicious dishes that catered to all tastes. I also appreciated the range of activities offered, from relaxing by the pool to exploring the nearby attractions like a sand island. It’s the perfect place for a peaceful getaway. Highly recommended – I can’t wait to return! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Feel free to adjust it based on your personal experience!

We stayed at Kisha Beach resort for three days in Oct ‘24 and loved it! It’s a quiet, relaxing hotel right in the beach with a pool and great snorkeling just off its breakwater. Kisha also offers many excursions and we mainly stayed here as it’s so close to the Manta Ray snorkeling area, which the hotel will arrange a trip to. There is also a half day and full day snorkeling trip which includes time at a spectacular sand bar so you certainly won’t be bored! The food at the hotel was excellent, served buffet style, and there is a sandy road behind the hotel which leads into town and is definitely worth the stroll to see how the locals live and to pick up some souvenirs T the shop by the pier. I have to say as well that the staff at the Kisha Beach was just incredible- some of the nicest most caring people you will encounter! I don’t think I ever saw the two young ladies who worked the desk without a big smile on their faces and the servers and concierge truly cared about our experience- just truly wonderful people! If you want a comfortable, peaceful, beautiful hotel with wonderful amenities and an incredible staff you can’t go wrong with Kihaa Beach and I would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful time. The first day it seemed so quiet, we wondered what we had done but then we developed a rapport with Ali and his staff who were attentive to our every need. We hadn't realised the island was alcohol free but fortunately there was a yacht with a bar just 200m from the beach that we could go to every evening. We began snorkelling every morning along the breakwall and found an abundance of marine life from turtles to reef sharks to the cow tail and eagle rays, along with a huge range of large tropical fish. We also went fishing and caught a large red snapper which the chef cooked for us. The highlight of our trip was the four manta snorkels dives we went on. It was amazing swimming so close to these beautiful, large, gentle creatures -- such an unforgettable experience. The food at Kihaa Beach was excellent with a variety of European and Maldivian food for both breakfast and dinner, while nothing was too much trouble for the hard working staff at the hotel who went out of their way to meet all our needs and give us the best experience possible. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Make sure to take some cash to tip the very hard working staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Kihaa Beach.

We were at Kiha ro see mantas. We live in Maldives and been vouple of local islands. Kiha beach hotel has very good quality i cleanliness, service, facilities etc. Good WiFi, good breakfast (comparing to local islands), able to use bug in transportations without extra fee, awesome beach, good location, ok restaurant in the hotel, clean pool (not so big). They were very friendly towards kids also, we can really recommend this hotel to everyone regardless the situation (holiday, business, sigle, family, couple).

Despite having to cut our trip shortly due to a family bereavement, we had 3 incredible and unforgettable days at Kiha. Starting with the pick up from the airport in a small golf cart, first time for everything, every member of staff went out of their way to make our trip, including the reception staff, the excursions organiser and the staff at meal times. This has the feel of being a small, family run hotel, where they really care. The food was excellent but not the gluttony fest of other larger hotels and resorts. The rooms are clean and modern, the beach is running and quiet and the pool is a bonus. The trips to Hanifaru are obviously a highlight, we packed in 3 trips in 3 days along with a bonus night time swim with Whale Sharks. Note, the trips are about one fifth the price of exactly the same trip on the private islands ! Finally, faced with the need to cut short our trip, change our flights and get to Male ASAP, the team did everything to help. All in all, we loved our stay here and only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks to all !!!
