The real Maldives, without the resort price.
Swim with mantas, sharks & turtles. Stay from $50 per person a night, breakfast included.
Same reef. Same sandbanks. Same sunsets.
Resorts sell the Maldives as a luxury. We think it belongs to everyone. On Mathiveri you get the turquoise water and the wildlife, plus a real island village, at a guesthouse price.

“Abdullah, the host, provided a 5 star service. We have never felt more looked after. He organised our pick ups, drop offs, excursions, even external speed boats to get from and to Male. The accommodation was beautiful and tasteful. Mathivieri island is breathtaking.”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying here for an entire month, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in the Maldives. … The excursions they organize are also exceptional! … The room was always very clean, comfortable, and well maintained … I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the Maldives.”
“Clean and comfortable room with nice decor. Very peaceful place with the view banyan tree. Everything is perfect.”
