You only need a pair of slip ons to leave at the front door and you can walk everywhere on the Island. On days when we didn’t have an excursion we quickly developed a routine of a few hours at the beach , coffee at the local cafe then an afternoon rest. This isn’t a tourist resort with lots of bars and restaurants, more a local way of life experience and relaxing time. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diego 26 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente Muy buena opción en mathiveri. Muy tranquilo, buena ubicación, buena comida en el hotel y accesible. Muy atentos y dispuestos los que trabajan allí. Lo recomiendo ##### Diego Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andreas, Frankfurt 13 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Sehr schönes Hotel. Zimmer sind zwar sehr schlicht, dafür aber sauber und haben im Obergeschoss einen schönen Balkon mit Blick auf Palmen und eine große Lagune. Das Personal war wie auf den anderen Local Islands super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Man kann im Hotel auch sehr gut essen. Wir können das Riveli Retreat nur empfehlen. ##### Andreas Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Gilbert, Nice 21 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bed & Breakfast sympathique De réalisation toute récente, avec encore quelques ratés d'installation et un centre de plongée en cours de d'installation, Riveli est une alternative économique au gros resort très cher et anonyme. Le personnel est adorable, la cuisine excellente, la chambre suffisamment grande, le lit parfait, la salle de bain simple mais suffisante elle aussi. ##### Gilbert ### 8/10 Good #### Tord 29 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Utmärkt Utmärkt liten ö för avkoppling, finns några små affärer och en liten strand där man får bada med bikini. Prsonalen är extremt hjälpsam och vänlig, har en egen båt som tar med dig ut på fantastiska snorkelturer och även att simma med mantor. Boka hämtning på flygplattsen så möter dom upp tar väl hand om dig, ca 2 timmar båtfärd till ön ##### Tord ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Feb 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### “Real Paradise Island” Magic Island still immaculate. The guest house is well located and offer every possible comfort. The view is stunning and staff will charm you with great food and every possible attention. It takes almost two hours of speedboat from Male but is all worth of it. The place offer amazing escursion, do not miss the sand pic-nic. We had a memorable stay, rooms are clean and spacious. You must book a sea view room. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Canareef Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Herathera-Hotels-Canareef-Resort-Maldives.h12263621.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Prestige Water Villas - with Dine around Premium All inclusive - 24 hours – 45 Minutes from Male by Seaplane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Prestige-Water-Villas.h1520790.Hotel-Information) > > [South Palm Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ismehela-Hera-Hotels-South-Palm-Resort-Maldives.h31543567.Hotel-Information) > > [You & Me Maldives - Adults Only - Premium All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uthurumaafaru-Hotels-You-Me-Maldives.h36035737.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Maldives Rangali Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rangali-Island-Hotels-Conrad-Maldives-Rangali-Island.h564176.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Park Sun Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nalaguraidhoo-Hotels-Villa-Park-Sun-Island-Resort.h2917878.Hotel-Information) > > [JOALI Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muravandhoo-Hotels-JOALI-Maldives.h22699380.Hotel-Information) > > [Kandolhu Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandolhu-Hotels-Kandolhu-Maldives.h7495205.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falhumaafushi-Hotels-The-Residence-Maldives.h6563347.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayada Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maguhdhuvaa-Hotels-Ayada-Maldives.h7353026.Hotel-Information) > > [Soneva Jani](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Medhufaru-Hotels-Soneva-Jani.h15375843.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lankanfinolhu-Hotels-Villa-Nautica-Paradise-Island-Resort.h1932406.Hotel-Information) > > [Bandos Maldives - One Way Transfer FREE for stays from 1st May till 30th Sept 2025 for Bookings from 16 Apr 2025](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bandos-Island-Hotels-Bandos-Maldives.h1705990.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kedhigandu-Hotels-RIU-Palace-Maldivas-All-Inclusive.h35002724.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandies Bathala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bathala-Island-Hotels-Sandies-Bathala.h33096418.Hotel-Information) > > [Siyam World Maldives - 24-Hour Premium All-inclusive with Free Transfer](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Siyam-World.h53715771.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horubadhoo-Island-Hotels-Royal-Island-Premium-All-Inclusive-Resort.h1501450.Hotel-Information) > > [Diamonds Athuruga Maldives Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athuruga-Island-Hotels-Diamonds-Athuruga-Beach-Water-Villas-All-Inclusive.h4599418.Hotel-Information) > > [Veligandu Maldives Resort Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Veligandu-Island-Hotels-Veligandu-Maldives-Resort-Island.h1449989.Hotel-Information) > > [Cora Cora Maldives-Premium All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maamigili-Island-Hotels-Cora-Cora-Maldives-Premium-All-Inclusive.h67541796.Hotel-Information) > > [Safari Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mushimasgali-Hotels-Safari-Island-Resort.h16889194.Hotel-Information) > > [Constance Halaveli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halaveli-Hotels-Constance-Halaveli.h3111321.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Ritz-Carlton.h58998476.Hotel-Information) > > [Constance Moofushi All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moofushi-Island-Hotels-Constance-Moofushi-All-Inclusive.h4047888.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuredhivaru-Hotels-Movenpick-Resort-Kuredhivaru-Maldives.h28858949.Hotel-Information) > > [Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ellaidhoo-Hotels-Ellaidhoo-Maldives-By-Cinnamon.h2233446.Hotel-Information) > > [W Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fesdu-Island-Hotels-W-Maldives.h1451558.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Select Meedhupparu - 45 Minutes from Male by Seaplane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Select-Meedhupparu-Premium-All-Inclusive.h2256805.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/OBLU-XPErience-Ailafushi.h72915265.Hotel-Information) > > [Cocoon Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ookolhufinolhu-Hotels-Cocoon-Maldives.h15440435.Hotel-Information)
