The smell from the bathroom in certain time of the day. But as I said, nothing that wouldn’t make me book again.

Amazing location, the hotel could use a little bit of a maintenance but considering the humidity, it’s quite normal. We loved it regardless of small inconveniences but the view from the room made up for it.

Everything is great about the property. Its a break from everything, better than the 5 start private island to me. Gives you a more closer view of the nature and the local community.

I loved the outdoor music and would have lived a few more group games. Volleyball option or games night. Maybe yoga or meditation on the beach.

It was ok. It may be better to do a buffet style breakfast. I don't know if that's possible.

If I really need to say something it will be the price of the food (a little bit too much sometimes). And lot of waste all around the island (but not around the hotel, they clean well 🙂)

Honestly, everything is perfect. The peace and quiet, the facilities, the view... It's paradise... We wake up with the sunrise, have breakfast, go snorkeling, relax on a deckchair in the shade, play games, watch the sunset and the stars! 🤩 They offer excursions, but we didn't even need them... we felt really good there.

i got a little sea sick from the boat ride on the journey from Male, but I think it was just the weather as I was fine on the way back. Beds are a little hard (I agree with other reviews on that point).

wow! the name says it all - this was a tranquil nest ! it really felt that way while we were there. Such a treat to stay at a Maldives local island rather than all the trimmings of a resort. We really felt like we were the only ones there most of the time. The highlight was the boat trip - sunset fishing and afterwards the team cooking us fish on the BBQ. Acho and Ahmed were lovely to deal with and treated us very well. Thankyou so much and we will highly recommend this experience.

My bed was hard and lumpy. They did provide me with an extra comforter and I slept on the quilt but I would suggest they replace the mattress. Breakfast was the same every day (apart from the fresh fruit). Could do with a bit of variation. If you pay by card there is a 4% fee on top. Food is served between given times which is plenty long enough but between end of lunch and evening meal times there isn't any service.

The location is right on the beach. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from the same spot. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant food was amazing. The atmosphere is super chilled. There are so many places to chill with loungers, swings, cuddle sofas, tables and chairs. You can pick seating with or without cushions in the shade or the sun. Free drinking water. Free breakfast, including a packed breakfast to go on my last day. Collected and dropped off at the ferry. Laundry service. A/C Lovely clean beach.

We had a wonderful time at this property. The staff is very kind and cheerful, always ready to meet any requests. I believe everyone should visit this island at least once in their life, and exclusively stay at this hotel. All compliments ❤️

Amazing Experience at Tranquil Nest Vaavu! Our stay at Tranquil Nest Vaavu was absolutely perfect! The most important thing to mention is that the hotel looks exactly like in the pictures, which is a rare find. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, and the entire staff made us feel at home. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had the best experience possible. A special shoutout to Acho, the manager, who is exceptionally kind and helpful. He took us on an unforgettable shark excursion, which was truly one of the highlights of our trip. His passion and care for guests make a huge difference! The food at Tranquil Nest Vaavu is delicious, with a great variety of options. My personal favorite was the chickpea curry, which is a must-try! Every meal was fresh and flavorful, adding to the overall amazing experience. Beyond that, the scenery is breathtaking, with stunning ocean views that make every moment feel like paradise. If you're looking for a place to relax, enjoy nature, and be treated like family, this is it! 100% recommended—worth every moment

The property was very clean. Access to amenities for swimming, snorkeling etc . Staff were friendly and accommodating. The meals prepared were fresh and tasty.

The bathroom wasn't super great. There were a lot of insects (small flies?) inside, and the showers weren't super great. And the sliding bathroom door doesn't properly seal so the bathroom odour seeps in. Please note that these were minor inconveniences without which our stay would've been perfect - we can't wait to back!

The architectural design was very nice. The rooms were perfectly sized too. Also really liked the industrial themed interior. It's located pretty much on the beach which is amazing. They provide free snorkelling gear (in good condition). I also like the long dinner table which is a great way to interact with and befriend other guests.

Maybe the breakfast could be more diverse

Perfect spot if you want to escape the busy resorts or crowded life in general haha

Amazing place to relax! They immediatly arranged the boat transfer from Malé which was great. Beautiful beach next to the hotel and good for snorkeling (turtles, many different fishes & in the evening little sharks) Greatest manager who knows everything about the island & surroundings. We had the best experiences with him! Delicious food at the hotel! I can

The water in the bathroom was smiling very very bad. No room service. The mattress was very hard and made us suffer from backbone pain

The breakfast. The staff. The safety . The sea and beach and decorations and service. The activities

Very remote island. Hotel has a beautiful vibe and good food. Rooms are pretty modern. Check transfer options to and from the island carefully. They can help you.

No complaints.

Amazing property. Really one of the coolest stays I’ve ever had. The island is quite isolated which adds to the overall experience. Just make sure if you intend to travel on a budget, clarify that you want “slow boat” transfer.

Stayed in January 2024

Perhaps some alternative options for the breakfast would have been good. After a few days of the same thing it felt like something else offered could have made a nice change.

Being on the smallest island meant you really felt a world away from it all! It’s so tranquil and quiet!

We were fortunate enough to experience sheer paradise during our stay at the Tranquil Nest in the Maldives, a booking we made through Booking.com. From the outset, the owner's warm hospitality made us feel like cherished guests in this idyllic retreat. The Tranquil Nest exceeded all expectations, offering a spacious haven surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Maldives. The interior design and thoughtful touches throughout the nest added to the overall charm, creating an atmosphere of serenity and relaxation. One of the standout features was the seamless internet connectivity, a surprising luxury in such a remote location. This allowed us to stay connected while immersed in the tranquility of our surroundings, striking a perfect balance between modern convenience and the pristine natural beauty of the Maldives. The tranquility of the location itself was unparalleled. Nestled in a peaceful corner of the Maldives, we were able to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The proximity to the beach and the mesmerizing views of the crystal-clear waters made every moment a postcard-worthy memory. Security and privacy were paramount at Tranquil Nest, offering a sense of exclusivity that heightened our overall experience. All the while, essential amenities were readily available, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free retreat. In summary, our stay at Tranquil Nest was a dreamlike experience. The combination of a gracious owner, a spacious and beautifully designed nest, reliable internet connectivity, and an unrivaled tranquil setting in the Maldives created an unforgettable escape. Highly recommended for those seeking a perfect blend of luxury, tranquility, and natural beauty. We left with hearts full of gratitude and unforgettable memories, eager to return to this Maldivian paradise.

The owners and staff were super friendly and we connected with them and other guests right from the beginning which lead to awesome activities and evenings. However they also make sure to give you space and privacy if needed. Everything we had to eat was straight up delicious, you can’t make a bad choice. The island is as calm and local as it can be. Make sure to checkout the local cafe and markets, the people are really nice and welcoming.

The coconut could be cheaper, since it is the only local fruit.

Trips were amazing! Food great and Fish was the freshest on Maldives. The girls sirve excelent. The manager Acho is making perfect job assisting and coordinating. The place is like a resort. The food isn't that expensive as some reviews are saying. There is everything we needed in good price

A bathroom a little better equipped would not be refused :)

Depending on the day you have either an American or a Maldivian breakfast. Not a huge fan of the American breakfast because as French we like the real food. The Maldivian breakfast is incredibly good!! Room was clean, exactly as like the photos. The staff is super smiling and helpful. Acho who is the manager became a friend, really nice guy, swimming with the sharks with him is really funny. A lot of great activities are proposed by the hotel (snorkeling, sharks, fishing at sunset etc...). The little beach on the side is transparent, clean and peaceful. Drinking coconut all day long became addictive ;) Family ambiance at night. Perfect place if you want to come with your half for a special occasion. We even had the chance to get some surprises by Acho and his team! One thing super important, this hotel belongs to a Maldivian family and staff are for most of them people from this tiny island who are employed by this hotel, so do not hesitate one second, book your stay now!

- the Bed mattress is hard but the manager promised for new soft mattresses coming soon by the end of the year. - the breakfast options was limited to 2 types only and if you stay for many days it’s repetitive and i hope it will have more options in the near future.

-The location of the island is amazing, you have all the marine wildlife all around, you can just snorkel in the reef area and you will see everything. -The staff are very nice, approachable and they will do everything they can to accommodate your requests. - The Manager Acho is flexible with the guest’s requests and he is working on all the improvement points to make the experience more pleasant. - they provided all the snorkeling gears and kayaking for free. - The chef’s food is very tasty. - WiFi signal is so strong and fast. - they have electric plugs all over the place if you want to work remotely in a quiet,peaceful and beautiful beachfront vibes ,it’s the perfect spot.

Everything! This was one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff was lovely, the island was very small and you really felt like you were alone in the world, just taking in the endless views. It’s hard to feel more at peace than in here.
