Simply amazing. We had a great stay here, especially thanks to the staff, who made this experience very personal and pleasant.

Island Zephyr averages 5.0 out of 5 across 29 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
I would highly recommend consideration of Island Zephyr for your planned Maledives adventures.. Amongst anything else I would highlight the attitude of the owner who is running the pension as the family business and together with the personnel they are creating atmosphere where you feel pretty much like home and feel like returning to.. Aidhe makes the best he can to allow you to see and experience all the atol offers and adventures that have been secured for us are unlike anything we’ve experienced before and we have not been even dreaming of. If you are all for adventures - just simply go for it!
A true Maldivian stay in Goidhoo! Amazing snorkeling, fishing trips, island tour, crab hunting... this has been a beautiful experience, a sweet memory I'll keep in my heart for life. This Maldivian family will make your stay comfortable and you'll feel like at home in their spacious and hearty rooms. The cook will delight you with his dishes. Amazing experience!
