Very nice and friendly staff, who arranged for us to snorkel and where there to help us anytime. The location is very good, close to bikini beach. There is a big bottle of fresh water in the room every day. The chef was very good, we could choose traditional or international food and we loved the fish.
We really enjoyed our stay in Mathiveri, especially in this hotel, we had a lovely holiday here and we can only recommend this hotel.
Facing the beachfront, Captal Beach Villa offers 3-star accommodation in Mathiveri and features a garden, restaurant and bar.

We had fully paid for a 4-night stay at the Captal Beach Villa. However at the time of our stay 2-6 April 2025, the Captal Beach Villa was actually still being developed and rooms were being sold for the Captal Beach Villa when in fact no rooms were available there. We were instead placed at a different nearby (nameless) property that was 3 minutes walk away - this nameless property was also under construction with only 2 rooms ready and nothing else on site - we were placed in one of these two rooms. As Mathiveri island where these properties are located is small with limited accomodation options on short notice, we decided to accept this accomodation for the purpose of not disrupting our travel and only lodged a formal complaint after.
To be very objective, the room at the different property we were placed at was not bad - it was a newly built, clean room with hot water in the shower, a kettle, mini-fridge, hair dryer, air-conditioning, lights etc. Breakfast was also provided on the first day at the main hotel (Captal Island Villa) and on our subsequent 3 days at a newly constructed pavilion where guests from different properties on the island came for breakfast. And the breakfast buffet was decent. However you must be aware of these risks when making a booking for this property: (1) it's a possibility when booking a room at the Captal Beach Villa that you will NOT be accommodated at the Captal Beach Villa as advertised, but at an alternative property (2) both the Captal Beach Villa and the alternative property are under development and not completed - both are still nameless as of 6 April 2025 and have no signage outside either property to even indicate that they are hotels or guesthouses of any sort (3) the alternative property we were placed at was also being used as a kind of storeroom with no staff based on site and large areas unbuilt, messy and used to store all kinds of things like towels, etc.

The location was perfect, just a few steps away from Bikini Beach, making it very convenient for enjoying the sea and relaxing. The host, Imma, was always very helpful, ready to provide excellent tips and organize excursions. The grilled fish dinner cooked by Imma was delicious and definitely one of the highlights of my stay.
The bathroom could have been better maintained. It appeared a bit neglected, and occasionally there was an unpleasant smell. Improving this aspect would greatly enhance the overall comfort of the stay.

I have been looking for cheap, simple but comfortable accommodation and I definitely found it! Ever Blue Guest House has only 4 rooms with share livingroom and also terrace dinning and kitchen which I could use.
Room:
comfortable bed (I like hard mattress), small fridge, TV, AC, fan, hairdryer, spacious bathroom with toilet, towels, beach towel, drying rack, daily water. What else do you wish for? Room was daily cleaned which I didn’t need.
Breakfast:
They always asked me what time I would like to have a breakfast and what would I like to have (I am not breakfast person plus have GF diet). I end up just with eggs and fruit but have been offered pancakes, sausages etc.
Kitchen and dining area:
I could use the kitchen and make my own food, coffee, tea.
The great addition are also ceiling fans in dining area (they are actually everywhere) as when it’s really hot and humid this helps massively.
I have to say huge thank you to the owner for helping me when weather was extremely bad and public boat was cancelled. He managed to find a private boat to take me to my next island.
It was lovely to talk to him every evening and learn about his family, life on the island and much more.
A Wonderful Beach Holiday. Necessary structure: shops and cafes are available. The ability to pay with a bank card, as well as in cash (USD, MVR). Good exchange rate in all places. I was pleased with both Mathiveri and Mathiveri Finholu: the beaches are clean, the sand does not burn your feet, and there is a comfortable "coolness" in the shade of the trees.

Too much garbage on the island.
Too much garbage on the island. I also saw a sewage pipe releasing waste into the sea just off the beach which looked like human excrement...also too many signs saying "no bikinis".. There were no stingrays at stingray beach. Lazy people not putting their empty plastic bottles in the bins.
Good points about Mathiveri;
Lots of birds signing in the trees adding that tropical feel to the place.
Lots of beautiful palm trees everywhere you go.
Good place for sunset photographs..

The sandy beaches here are really beautiful.
The sandy beaches here are really beautiful. There is an easy access to the sandbank - depending on actual ocean current it is possible to swim there or rent a kayak. There is not so much places for snorkelling as there are not corals on the beaches. There is just one spot accessible from the Picnic island (sandbank).

Mathiveri is a wonderful little island with beautiful long white sandy beaches and plenty of greenery! The palm trees are just amazing. It has four great restaurants with affordable and delicious meals, a few great shops and everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Also loved the sandy streets, harbour, shark view point - each part of the island has something to offer. People are nice and friendly and they all speak English.

Mathiveri is one of the better Maldivian islands.
Mathiveri is one of the better Maldivian islands. We ate in the Second Home restaurant - delicious food, quite low prices and good service. You can get around the island rather easily, considering it's size. Definitely recommend to visit the Picnic Island. It's a very picturesque location and the view of the sunrises is absolutely stunning from there. The bikini beach is also perfect. Just a little warning - don't go to the beaches at night, there are a lot of crabs.
