The Barefoot Eco Hotel

Maldivler'e ilk seyahatimdi. Oteli Tripadvisor yorumlarına göre seçtim ve yaptığım seçimden asla pişman olmadım. Bu lokasyon benim gibi sessiz, kalabalık olmayan, doğaya yakınlaşabilecek bir yere ihtiyaç duyanlar ve doğaya önem verenler için uygundur. Odalar oldukça iyiydi. Deniz kenarında oda ayırttım ama okyanus manzaralı odada kaldığım ilk 4 gün otelin hediyesiydi. Yemekler çok çeşitli olmasa da kaliteliydi. Otel ve hizmetler diğer turistlerin yorumlarında çok iyi anlatılıyor, incelememde otel ekibine teşekkür etmek istiyorum. Bunlar, konaklamanızı konforlu hale getirmek için her şeyi yapmaya hazır olan çok dost canlısı, nazik insanlardı. Herkese çok minnettarım: şef, garsonlar, terziler, resepsiyon personeli, dalış merkezi personeli, barmenler; hepsi güzel insanlardı, her an yardıma hazırdı! Özellikle resepsiyonist Victor'a teşekkür etmek istiyorum. Victor her zaman her konuda yardıma hazırdı, hatta tatilinizi daha iyi hale getirmek için kişisel zamanını feda etmeye bile hazırdı. Tatilde yalnız olduğum için köye ilk bisiklet yolculuğumda bana eşlik etmeyi teklif etti, her zaman yanıma gelip her şeyin yolunda olup olmadığını sordu. Otel yöneticileri, lütfen onu çalışmaya olan bağlılığından dolayı ödüllendirin! :) Otel, çalışanları ve Hanimadhoo Adası hakkında çok iyi izlenimler edindim, kesinlikle buraya tekrar geleceğim ve tanıdık yüzler görmeyi umuyorum! not: Maldivler'e ilk kez gidecek olanlar için - cildinizi güneşten korumaya özen gösterin!

The Barefoot Eco Hotel'deki konaklamamızı çok sevdik! Odalar çok geniş, yatak çok büyük ve rahat, teras ise sakin beyaz kumlu turkuaz su plajının hemen önünde 🥹 Ama benim en sevdiğim kısım orman! Orman sesleri ve ağaç çeşitliliği eşliğinde villaların arasından geçen yol. Gerçekten çok sevdim ve gördüğüm tek eksi kısa süreli konaklama, keşke daha uzun süre kalabilseydik 🥲 Kesinlikle geri dönerdim!

En önemli varlığı mükemmel restoranı ve tüm personelin sonsuz nezaketi olan bu otelde harika bir konaklama Odalar sade, deniz ve plaj manzaralı 10m uzaklıkta, botanik bahçesi muhteşem, en üstte dalış kulübü var, tek olumsuz nokta gezilerin fiyatının biraz fazla olması. Bu oteli tüm doğa severler ve dinlendirici tatiller için tavsiye ediyoruz.

The Barefoot Eco Hotel made our stay unforgettable and so wonderful. We have already been to other islands. But this time everything was very, very good!!! Daminda Ranasinghe Reservations Executive and Diksan Wijerathna Reservations Manager did an excellent job - they helped us choose a room, explained the conditions for transfer to the island, answered all questions quickly and in detail. Thank you! Every morning at the restaurant we were greeted by Sozib with a kind smile and greeting in Russian. This is how our every day began and it was very pleasant. Sozib personally served us and was always attentive, neat and caring. Thank you! We liked the beach - such large, clean and soft sand. The delightfully clear ocean has an extraordinary color, shimmering in all shades: from dark indigo blue to transparent turquoise. And a lot of fish. Delight! Dear The Barefoot Eco Hotel team! Everything you do for your guests and tourists is at the highest level. We will definitely be back!!!! Thank you!!! Tatiana Valova

The Barefoot Eco Hotel is an amazing place, not only to relax and escape work life but also to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere as well as nature of the Maldives. Thus, one of my main reasons to come to the hotel was to practise diving. The hotel has its own diving centre and offers different courses but also daily trips to various dive sites, depending on the weather conditions. According to one’s level, the friendly and highly supporting divemaster Luca, Charlie as well as the rest of the crew were taking us guests on breathtaking dives. Even if one doesn’t have any equipment, the centre provides everything for you. The trips have always been well-organised and within a few minutes with the Dhoni (traditional Maldivian boat), one reaches the most beautiful dives sites in the Maldives. Both, Luca and Charlie, were taking care of everything and everyone at all times, explaining the dives in detail and with full of joy. By sharing their experiences and knowledge about diving and the underwater world, I have learned a lot about all kinds of marine life and the sport itself. Under water, I was able to experience excellent reefs with an abundance of marine life. From dolphins, turtles, sharks, rays and clownfishes to lionfishes, morays and huge pufferfishes, I have experienced the beauty of the surrounding dive sites. Each dive has been absolutely amazing and a once-in-a-lifetime experience which I’ll never forget. I wish I would have stayed longer to enjoy more of it. My expectations have been exceeded and I can not wait to be back in the ocean soon. I had so much fun and really appreciate the friendliness and expertise of Charlie and Luca. Thank you so so much for the amazing time and thanks for inspiring me to continue diving! 🫶🏻 If you are looking for something extra special during your stay in the Maldives, I can highly recommend diving at The Barefoot Eco Hotel. This is something you’ll never forget. Give it a go and I promise you, you are not going to be disappointed.

The Hotel exceeded all my expectations! Their dedication to eco-friendly practices are truly impressive. The rooms exuded natural harmony, creating a unique atmosphere of serenity and relaxation. I must highlight their cuisine – made from fresh, natural ingredients, we are focusing on healthy eating and found a lot of options for us. I thoroughly enjoyed every treat and was impressed by the variety of vegetarian and vegan options. In summary, The Barefoot Eco Hotel is a true haven for those who appreciate nature, comfort, and wellness. I highly recommend it to anyone dreaming of a unique and environmentally conscious retreat in the Maldives!

This was our second holiday at the Barefoot Hotel and, same as the first time, it was another totally relaxing, beautiful experience. Set in lush native gardens there is a peaceful and quiet atmosphere throughout the entire place, which is a credit to the behind the scene staff. The resort Boutique and tailor are extremely accommodating and welcoming. The quality, choice and quick turnaround of shirts, trousers and other items was just amazing. After our introductory diving course last year we decided to go for the Padi Open Water Course this time. We could not have asked for a better instructor than Luca to not only make this course fun and easy to understand but share his extensive diving knowledge and passion with us at the same time. We will be back!! Last but no means least, not to mention the daily excursions with Federica, Afeef and the boat crew which were extensive, informative and great fun at the same time. In addition Federica always had time, be it early morning or late evening, to share her knowledge as marine biologist.

Beautiful and peaceful place where you can have a great rest and activities. Beach is clean and water is heavenly. Awesome boutique with professional tailors. Hospitality of staff here is on very high level. I would like to emphasize the guides from “Barefoot diving centre” whose excursions were unforgettable and full of positive emotions. In case if you are interested in how the locals live in the Maldives, specifically the local islanders, you have the opportunity to walk around the village near the hotel and even chat with the villagers. They are mostly friendly. To summarise, if you’re tired of daily routine at work and want to switch off from all that, and “charge your batteries”, this is the place. I’ll miss it.
