    We liked everything!

    The staff at any property make our stay good or bad. This was such an excellent staff who worked together to make our visit a joy! No request was impossible and we felt pampered beyond our expectations. Being met at the airport by Sumesh at night was a great start. The head waiter Biraj was so welcoming and did a great job of advising us of ingredients in the food as we have a strict vegetarian diet. The chef made us fresh oatmeal every morning and accommodated special requests easily. He even made us cake with our eggs! Food is important so we have great appreciation for all of them. Boat rides out to see rays and colorful reefs were a treat and affordable. One of the kind owners was our guide and pointed out rays, sharks, octopuses and things we might have missed without him. Our last night Biraj traced a large heart in the sand by the water and they lined it with candles. Our dinner table was placed inside the heart. It was so thoughtful and the whole staff was so friendly and attentive! We felt like we’re were at a fancy resort being treated like royalty by men who enjoyed their work and did it lovingly. I could go on and on but you have to go have your own experience with this special place. I know we’ll be back again.

    Food wasn’t great. Breakfast was a small option buffet with especially sweet cakes. Omelette to your taste is possible. Main courses where very cheese/fatty. The hotel offers sunbeds on bikini beach which is really nice. But there aren’t any cushions. You can use old yoga mats.

    Great and easy communication with Sumesh before arrival and during our stay. He arranged our transfers and communicated with our next stay to make everything smooth and hastlefree for us. The hotel was a group whatsapp for excursions. The room is comfy, big bed, nice shower (not always hot though), good ac. Bed was beautifully decorated because of our honeymoon. The hotel was free water/coffee/tea.

    The LVIS hotel is right at the bikini beach, it is a wonderful location. You can use the hotel's sun loungers and enjoy the beautiful beach and the view. In the morning and afternoon dolphins pass by. Apart from the wonderful location the service is extraordinary: The whole staff is absolutely friendly, kind, helpful and lovely. We were picked up from the airport and then brought to the hotel where we were welcomed with a watermelon juice. The hotel also offers great services for activities. Everyday there are water-related activities, especially snorkelling at Hanifaru Bay. There is a WhatsApp group which informs you about the activities offered the next day, so you are always updated and you can easily book the activity. The rooms are nice and have everything you need. My friends and I highly recommend LVIS, I'm sure it was not our last time there. Thanks again for making our stay absolutely wonderful. We are missing you!

    The stay was everything we had expected. The rooms were very comfortable. The staff were very friendly, and extremely dedicated to providing a good visit. The private beach was just a few steps away, and you get some amazing sunsets and stars. The island is popular for diving and snorkeling, but it is also perfect to just get away from eveything and relax. The food was excellent! Many thanks to Lishaan and Vishaam who so kindly made sure our was a good experience 🙏💚

    Best place to see the great Manta Rays
    • Leisure trip

    The internet was very slow. After a small sandy part, the entrance to the water is filled with stones and dead corals so it is best to have shoes on. The island does not offer many activities, so if you are not snorkeling or diving it is not much else to do.

    The rooms have a good size and are equipped with everything you need: enough storage space, hairdrier, fridge, safe, etc. We could sleep very well in the bed and the AC provided a much needed cool air. The rooms get a quick clean every morning. There are lots of different possibilities to chill in the garden and on the beach which is directly in front of the hotel building. The island does not offer many places to eat, but fortunately the food provided by the hotel kitchen is cheap and tastes very good. They even managed to provide something different for the dinner every day on our 7 days stay. The tours provided are OK, with the Mantas snorkeling tour being the main one that is done every time there is a possibility to see these cool animals. Unfortunately most of the tours are very weather dependent and get canceled pretty often. The hotel reef is great, filled with hundreds of different fishes. Flying foxes flying around on the island are another cool animals you can spot.

    We had no issue with it but be aware the the window of deluxe room opens into hallway. Standard rooms face the garden and beach. There was quite a lot of coral in the bay formed when the stone barriers have been built but you could find places to swim without shoes too.

    Right on the bikini beach, with beautiful maintained garden between the building and the beach, used also for dinning. Many beach chairs and swings, including ones in shade. The food was the best we had on our trip. Rooms were nice, fridge and AC working well, drinking water available in the room. All the people very friendly and helpful! Arranged the flight back to Male and when it was canceled, dealt with the provider to take us via seaplane instead. We loved it. Thank you for everything!

    It was really a great decision to stay at the local island and to choose this hotel. Everything was just wonderful! Such a peaceful place. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Big big thanks to the manager Sumesh who is making everything for guests. Not only very helpful and friendly but also a very interesting person to talk. With his help we were so lucky to observe mantas in all their beauty just in the beginning of the season. As all other stuff was also so nice and helpful! No matter how you want to spent your maldives vacation, to read a book all day or snorkel or explore local life its a right place to do all. Also a good lifehack (as we did) to spent some days at Dharavandoo to do all excursions, divings, snorkel tours (because prices and service at LVIS for all this are very good) and then move to some resort nearby to relax) All transfers whenever you need are also organised very easy with the help of manager. Rooms were nice, very good cleaned every morning. Bikini beach just in front of hotel and all territory is so green and beautiful and clean. Home reef is also very good!

    The food was abundant but not too good. Also they charged us some services that we did not request, around 15 USD for a 2min taxi to the hotel (not requested) explaining us where the harbor was (concept = harbor drop out)

    Everything was perfect

    We visited two islands on our honeymoon to the Maldives and can wholeheartedly say that LVIS Blancura was the best kept secret for travellers like us until now! Excellent food each day for breakfast + dinner, great clean room with awesome shower, comfy bed and great aircon, absolutely amazing views of the turquoise water which is less than 1min away from your room (we timed it), the best customer service both to organise your flights and daily trips (sandbank, snorkelling, fishing, dolphin sunset cruise). We were in Paradise this last week and simply cannot wait to return for more adventures! Big shoutout to Sumesh and Sohe (I hope I’m spelling your name right!) for being superstars making sure we got romantic candlelit dinners every night :) something which would’ve costed us 170$ per day on the other island…thank you team LVIS!

    It was a wonderful vacation! a small cozy hotel, clean deserted beaches, a bikini beach just 20 steps away from the room, amazing staff who is always ready to help with anything, clean rooms, delicious food (especially the traditional cuisine of Maldives!) Unforgettable sights of the ocean, islands and underwater world. A special thanks to Sumesh and all the staff, definitely recommend to stay here! Especially if you love snorkeling, want to escape the crowd and spent some peaceful time at the beach :)

The setting is wonderful, food was delicious amd the personal was the kindest always available and willing to help in any aspect. The facility is also organizing snorkeling and picnic trips which we strongly recommand to take. We have seen dolphins, turtles, coral shark and trigon. It was a wonderful experience and we would love to have more time spend there. The rooms are cleaned and towels changed each day.
