HALAVELI - Guest Comments

^{Discounted RATES}

Halaveli is a particularly fine example of the beauty that islands of Maldives have been so richly endowed with. The beaches are dazzling white, the sand soft and caressing to the touch. The island is covered with thick lush tropical vegetation. An unspoilt aquamarine lagoon, shimmering in the sun, encircles the beach.

Breathtaking beauty, though, is not uncommon in the Maldives. What gives Halaveli its rare appeal is the excellent atmosphere - easy-going, relaxed and friendly. You feel at ease the moment you arrive on Halaveli. The management and staff, who regard Halaveli their home away from home, cannot be more welcoming hosts, and you cannot help but feel the good vibes from the moment you are welcomed to the island. You know right then that you have made the right choice, and before long you would be making a mental note to return soon - like so many others have done before you.

Further, Halaveli is ideal for the family holiday as well, with its tranquil atmosphere, a wonderful beach for sun tanning and games on the beach, a shallow lagoon ideal for swimming or snorkelling, and a doctor on call on the island itself. Our island hopping excursions will also prove to be exciting, with trips to both inhabited and uninhabited islands, and barbecue lunches on the beach.

There are 50 beachfront bungalows on Halaveli. From the outside they have a Maldivian traditional look - with their conical thatched roofs, placed on the beach and individually built; inside, however, the décor is turn-of-the-century European. All rooms are air-conditioned and each has an IDD telephone and a mini-bar that add convenience to comfort. The bathrooms are modern and spacious, with hot and cold water.

And the beauty of these bungalows are that the veranda outside each room faces the beach. Beyond the tall palm trees and thick tropical shrubbery growing in front of the room lie the beach and the beautiful lagoon - a breathtaking view right in front of your own restful beach bungalow.

Further they do have a block of four rooms - which they call "Standard Rooms". Though in amenities these Standard Rooms are higher than a normal Standard Room of other Maldivian island resorts - as such they are air-conditioned, and as per our understanding they are well maintained. And are approved by the Maldivian Tourism Ministry for catering to the guests.

All meals are served at the main restaurant in Halaveli. As everywhere else in the island, the ambience makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Buffets are served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The buffets are always generous and the food is distinctively Italian, prepared by experienced, professional chefs; the food tastes great and the friendly service adds to the enjoyment of every meal.

The bar in Halaveli is the island’s main centre of entertainment. Open on all sides, with a high, thatched ceiling; with soft, sandy floors and views of the beach and ocean, the bar is a welcoming place. All guests come together here after lunch for an hour of fun as the island’s in-house animators put on live music shows with barroom puzzles and quizzes with a difference.

The bar comes alive in the evenings once again as live music and excited chatter permeates the air as happy guests discuss the day’s events.
