Stylist & decent hotel, very clean & cozy stay. Hotel owner Lola was super nice, she's so helpful & always around when we need her, we totally feel like home. We stayed 6 nights this time with Liyela & Lola upgraded us to seaview room with beautiful balcony facing the sea. They served the most amazing breakfast on Maafushi, beautiful, healthy & so delicious, their coffee is excellent as well, I especially like coffee-co-nut & the one with homemade coconut milk, so delicious. Dinner come in big portion, all fresh & well made, desserts are good too, recommended their homemade coconut ice cream, creamy & nice. Their rooftop bar has beautiful sunset view, excellent place to be during happy hour. I enjoyed very much my stay with Liyela & haven't had enough, I'll definitely return if I visit Maafushi in the future.

Great stay, good and clean place, recommend! Only one little note - the food is quiet exact, meaning the portions are about medium size, and when breakfast is a lacart - it could be borderline. Comparing to the rest of the island - high quality and tasty food.

Where do I start? Ok, I'll start with the food, as this was exceptional! I've eaten in many top restaurants around the world, and this is on par with most of them. Melbourne is where I now call home, and is arguably the culinary capital of Australia, and this restaurant would fit right in with the best there is. Everything is so fresh, so healthy, so delicious. You certainly won't find anything even remotely close to this on Maafushi, FACT. Now the staff, they are so friendly, and Lola and Shaffa and will go out of their way to help you in whatever you need, they made our stay so comfortable. The rooms are excellent, big balconies overlooking the sea, and amazing bathrooms, super clean too. The beds are very comfortable. The location is also perfect. If you stay anywhere on Maafushi, be sure to make it Liyela Retreat. Thank you Thank you Thank you

Amazing rooftop restaurant
Lovely boutique hotel in Maafushi. Friendly staff and fabulous food on the rooftop restaurant. Also, best place to watch the sunset! Note that there is no elevator nor a fridge in the room.

Amaizing new hotel. It is not on the first line but offer you an outstanding ocean view rooms. They also have nice "moon" rooms, but windows are small and there is no sights. So my advise is to take ocean view accommodation. And don't forget to visit their rooftop bar. It's amazing

Pros - Good location, pricing and overall bang for the buck. The food is amazing and in my opinion, the most innovative and high quality dishes you can get on Maafushi. The staff is super-friendly and the rooms are simple, but clean and cute. Cons - No elevator.

We had an excellent stay at Liyela Retreat, whilst celebrating our anniversary. The team of staff were all incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and went out of their way to make our visit special. Our room - with crisp, new amenities and modern interior - was stunning, with the property being so close to the beach, as well as shops, restaurants/cafes and water sport facilities. The Australian chef, Alex, created extraordinary dishes everyday - some of the best and freshest meals we’ve tasted whilst dining at the rooftop restaurant - being a fantastic position in which to see the beautiful Maldives sunset each evening, complete with half price sheesha and drinks during their “Happy Hour” from 5pm. We also loved the fact that we weren’t surrounded by hundreds of other guests each day - and, as such, enjoyed the personalised and warm treatment from staff working there. They made it so easy for excursions away from Maafushi, as well as helpful advice for the local island itself. Thank you Liyela - we will be sure to return again.
