Holiday Home Kelaa

I had an excellent stay at this guesthouse on Kelaa Island! The place was spotless, and the air conditioning worked incredibly well, making the room very comfortable. The staff was responsive and kind; special thanks to the host, Ibbe, for his kindness and quick response when I arrived to find my original booking at another hotel was unexpectedly closed. He welcomed me into his guesthouse without hesitation and made sure I was comfortable. One of the highlights was the fishing trip, which was really fun and full of variety in the catch. The best part was enjoying my catch for dinner the next evening. Upon arrival, I was welcomed with a refreshing coconut drink, a very nice touch! The room had everything I needed, and there was daily room service. The guesthouse even provides free bikes, which made it easy to explore the island. Plus, the beach is only 50 meters away—a huge bonus! The food was delicious and offered a good variety, with the staff taking into account any small preferences I had. I highly recommend this guesthouse for anyone looking to experience true Maldivian hospitality! Although Kelaa Island is far from Malé, it’s one of the best choices for a peaceful getaway. The island is calm, untouched by mass tourism, and offers a truly relaxing experience

When we were choosing an island for our third trip to the Maldives, our choice fell on Haa Alif atoll. I won’t lie, we didn’t immediately decide to change the islands close to Male to the more distant island of Kelaa. But the choice turned out to be successful, and the success of our holiday as a whole was associated with the choice of the Holiday Home Kelaa guest house. It was a truly excellent home for our holiday: welcoming, superbly located, with excellent levels of comfort and privacy. All our wishes, even the most insignificant ones, were carefully perceived and implemented. The food was varied and took into account our taste preferences. The snorkeling trips were well organised. It's so wonderful when your vacation turns out even better than you could have imagined! The hotel owner, Ibbe, managed to assemble such a team and organize the work in such a way that a holiday at Holiday Home Kelaa becomes not just excellent, but completely problem-free. We are grateful to the team and owner of Holiday Home Kelaa for our wonderful Maldivian summer on Kelaa Island!

Holiday Home Kelaa in the maldives for 6 nights. Peaceful and clean Island and perfect for fishing, snorkeling and relaxing on the beautiful beach. Mr Ibbe and Team are doing an fantastic Service and everyone there is super friendly and try everything to make your holidays the best. Will definitely go back!! Great location.

We stayed for a week at HHK for relaxation and for the purpose of exploring a new place in Maldives. We loved and enjoyed every moment with this beautiful hotel at Kelaa. We tried to find a really good place by google maps as we always preferred to stay at place close to the beach, we got connected with Ibbe via WhatsApp, the communications were very prompt, professional and efficient. Ibbe helped to make sure that were pampered throughout our stay along with the incredible team. The moment we arrived at the beautiful island Kelaa we were welcomed with cold towels and a refreshing drink. We got escorted to the hotel immediately. The jetty where we arrived was located by a 3 minutes walk to the hotel. After a quick registration process we were already at our beautiful room. The room we booked was located on the ground floor which had all amenities we needed from bottled water to bathroom amenities, kettle to make hot water for coffee/tea and the TV which we did not use at all and much more. There was an outdoor shower that we used a lot, It is rare to find outdoor showers in most of the guest houses we stayed before. We enjoyed all the meals provided by the hotel, local breakfasts, customized lunches and special dinners - all were beyond our expectations. It felt so lively to have the ambient music at the public areas of the hotel at all times (Ibbe has a very good taste for relaxing Music) We explored the island, swimming (the beach was located so close from the hotel - a 3 minutes walk), bike rides, fishing trips and BBQ. Manta snorkeling trip was very special and we enjoyed every moment of that trip (we were lucky to spot few dolphins on this trip too). The hotel also had indoor recreation facilities including billiards, football, chess and darts. I strongly recommend to book all the boat activities and excursions with the hotel as it gave more insights to what else can be enjoyed during the trip and on the island. The crew was fun, caring and always gave attention to us and made sure we had a great time even though we were locals. The team at the Holiday Home Kelaa was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay. Thank you very much to Ibbe and his team for being so hospitable and kind during our whole stay - we will be back hopefully soon. Thank you so very much Ibbe, Kudabe, Ahmed, Mary, Fazna, Rahuma Fahumee and Rai - You all are amazing 🤍🤍🤍
