Adaaran Club Rannalhi, South Male Atoll The Maldives, Central Islands

This is a quaint resort in the southern Male Atoll, and whilst it is superb value for money it is still very comfortable with great facilities and boasts some of the best beaches in the Maldives.

A 45-minute speedboat ride from Male will bring you to the turquoise waters of Adaraan Club Rannalhi’s large lagoon, where there is a house reef for diving as well as water sports, boat trips, fishing, kayaking, snorkelling and more. The island’s beaches are absolutely idyllic, with soft white sand, calm waters, palm trees and crystal clear water. There is a spa and plenty of restaurants and bars offering a variety of dining options.

Rooms are either entry level standard rooms or water bungalows, and whilst they are quite simple they are spacious, clean and comfy with good amenities. The water bungalows are extremely good value for money and are a great option for those wanting to have a room over the water whilst not breaking the bank. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the all-inclusive board rates are very reasonable.

This is a good quality mid-range resort that has great facilities and all the “must-haves” of a Maldives resort but without the hefty price tag.
