MaldivesTravel Guide
Hulhumale | Super Beautiful and Chill Seaside Restaurant đ· We stayed in Hulhumale for a transitional nightâjust a quick stop, but it ended up being such a lovely surprise! After checking in at the hotel, we threw on our flip-flops and headed out, ready to wander, explore, and hunt for something tasty đŁ. As a reclaimed artificial island, Hulhumale isnât huge, but wow, does it punch above its weight! The roads are clean, there are little parks everywhere, and you can tell people live hereânot just tourists passing through. It feels like a cozy neighborhood by the sea, with that relaxed island vibe that makes you slow down â±ïž. Plus, the sanitation? Impeccable. No litter, fresh air, just good vibes all around. ïœ 'ReVELI' Restaurant đŽ We found it totally by accident while strolling along the waterfrontâone minute we were admiring the waves, the next we turned a corner and boomâthis gorgeous spot appeared! đ At first glance, my camera (and my heart) did a little happy dance. The wooden decks, the warm lighting, the way it blends into the surroundings⊠itâs like someone designed it specifically for Instagram-worthy shots đž. The log-style decor is chefâs kissârustic but elegant, with big windows that frame the glassy sea perfectly. Itâs not trying too hard, which makes it even more charming. Sit down, order a drink, and suddenly youâre in that âchill modeâ where time slows down. The waves are lapping gently, the breeze is soft, and you just⊠exist. So good đâš. ïœ The dishes are classic Western fareânothing groundbreaking, but solid! We went for a crispy sandwich đ„Ș (crunchy on the outside, juicy inside), a creamy pasta đ (garlicky and satisfying), a warm bowl of soup đ„Ł (hit the spot after a walk), a fruity milkshake đč (sweet and refreshing), and a bottle of cold water to wash it all down. Total with taxes and service charge? A little over 300, which felt fair for the view and the vibe đ°. ïœ Let me gush about the environment againâcleanliness is my love language, and RIVELI speaks it fluently. Tables wiped, floors spotless, bathrooms fresh. No ick factor here, just pure comfort đ. And the staff? So friendly! They smiled, checked in on us, and didnât rush usâeven when we lingered to take 50 more photos of the sunset. Top marks for hospitality đ. Business hours: 12:00pm-3:30pm, 6pm-1am (perfect for lunch with a view or dinner under the stars!) #HulhumaleTransitHotel #Maldives # #AtmosphericRestaurant #SeasideRestaurant #IslandVibes
