Our experience at Swarn was exceptional. The staff greeted us warmly at the jetty, making us feel immediately welcome. The check-in process was seamless, and the team had already taken our lunch order while we were still at Dharavandhoo jetty—service you don’t often find even in luxury hotels. Our personal host was incredibly attentive, staying in touch via WhatsApp throughout our stay. The ocean views from our room and bathroom were truly the highlight, offering a serene and calming atmosphere. The rooms were well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, and both the service and cleanliness were top-notch. The food was plentiful and impressive for a local island in the Maldives. Kamadhoo, located in BAA Atoll, is an underrated island that truly is a hidden gem. The beaches are stunning, especially the expansive Bikini Beach. The island is convenient with a few cafes, restaurants, and shops. The local residents are kind and welcoming. The reefs near the beach are well-maintained and incredibly beautiful. We also enjoyed a Manta excursion, just a few minutes from the island, where we had the amazing experience of seeing Mantas up close. The excursion was well-organized by Rifaa and his team. Additionally, the spa therapist, Erna, provided an excellent massage, enhancing our overall relaxation. We will definitely return again and again!

Nothing compares to Swarn by Hawks on the Kamadhoo island. It’s primary location right by the bay, modern design, highest comfort, top service, all make it an increadibly appealing choice. Our super clean specious penthouse on top floor was a truly luxurious environment, worth every penny, offereing amazing views over entire island and the ocean. From the terrace we could actually see fish entering the bay. Food was delicious, with proper variety, light and simple, yet exotic. We were never prompted to go for additional a la carte choice, as regular offerings were good enough. Beach is close, and it’s what you would expect in Maledives. There were also some optional tours to other locations in nearby atolls. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Many thanks to hotel manager Ramin and his associates Birbal, Bikash, Sarfraz, and Firog. We felt pumpered and taken care off.

Thank to the team of Clarks hotel the holidays went very well! Hotel is quite new and our room was amazing with the sea view and we had chance to see a sunrise. The room is stylish and well equipped with the contemporary technics. The team is very kind and helpful, they are sincerely ready to answer all questions and to take care about their guests. They even remember what you prefer for breakfast or dinner and also were ready to solve uncommon situations as i had during my stay with medical emergency. Breakfasts and dinners were good, they were not super diverse, but they were prepared with the soul and by professional team. Thanks to chief and his guys!

Location: 2h from Male by speedboat or 1h with domestic flight. Ravin from the reception arranged everything for us, so we didn’t have to think about anything. Bikini beach is just 5-7 mins from the hotel, and it’s really easy reachable. Beach is very clean and you can find sun beds already there. A lot of trees as well, so you will have plenty of natural shade. Accommodation: Our accommodation at Clark Exotica Hotel was a haven of comfort and elegance. The spacious and well-appointed rooms provided us with stunning views of the ocean, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The attention to detail in the room's design and amenities was impeccable, ensuring a truly luxurious stay. Dining: The dining experience at Clark Exotica Hotel was a culinary delight. The restaurant showcased a diverse menu, offering a delectable fusion of international and local cuisine. What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional service provided by the staff. Veer and Ram, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure our meals were memorable. Of course, there is an amazing Chef without whom this wouldn’t be possible. Their warm hospitality and attentiveness added an extra touch of comfort and personalized care to our dining experience. We were also impressed with the rest of the staff, who consistently displayed a genuine dedication to guest satisfaction. Romantic Experiences: During our stay, we were treated to a truly special romantic dinner at the beach. The setting was nothing short of magical, with the soft glow of candlelight and the gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore. The culinary delights prepared for us were exquisite, and the attentive staff ensured that every moment of our intimate evening was filled with romance and enchantment. On our last night, the hotel organized a mesmerizing Bodu Beru dance performance for us.

SPA prices could be lower

The staff was very friendly and helping plus the facilities were really clean and the amenities were of high quality. The best thing was the amazing view from the room. The food at hotel is pretty nice, the island also offers other restaurants and grocery shops, also has a nice beach. The hotel also accommodated my special request for a romantic dinner on the beach. Highly recommended.

Staff, food and amenities.

The location

360 view room was worth every penny😍room was also very clean and well taken care of. Everything was perfect We are definitely coming back

The hotel is really one of a kind and I guess this is one of the few places I would like to go back to! To begin with, the communication was seamless, I could ask any question here in the chat and get a prompt answer. The transfer was arranged quickly and was very convenient. Upon arrival, we were met with refreshment drinks and got to our room in under 3 minutes, which was great! The staff are very friendly, efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Ravin, Bikash, and Firoj 🙌🏼

Although the food was very good, the choice is not much varied - but again, you wouldn’t expect more for this price/quality ratio. We also had a problem with our air conditioning, but we were quickly given a new room with a working one. The shower drainage needs a bit more maintenance, but overall, those things pale in comparison with all the benefits we had at this location 🙌🏼

The hotel and its amnesties were exceptional. The location as oceanfront was incredible. We liked the great hospitality of the staff and the help they offered. The food was very nice and tasteful. Thanks a lot for the unforgettable experience.

The only point is that transportation from Male Airport took a long time; yet the manager has helped us a lot.

The location, right on the harbour and amazing view from our balcony. Clean rooms. Private airport transfers ($100 USD each-way) were very efficient. Room was cleaned to a high standard each day, with fresh glass water bottles replenished and fresh beach towels too. Milk and tea bags available from reception. Snorkelling equipment available to borrow from reception (critical to making the most of the wonderful house reef off the bikini beach at the other end of Kamadhoo island (0.5km walk away). A great value way to stay in the Maldives. No alcohol on island as it’s public. Good choice (c. 6) of simple restaurants (c. $20-40 USD pp for evening meal). Choose a balcony room as these face the harbour, you won’t regret it for variety and views!

The hotel needs a little off-season maintenance. Air conditioning not working in our first room but staff did change us on day two to an equivalent room. Durning heavy rain storm various hotel windows leaked and the sight of beach towels mopping up water was common. This said, it did not adversely impact our stay.
