We stayed at the Bathala Island Resort for 12 nights over the Easter holidays. The island was completely full at this time as you would expect, but still felt peaceful and relaxed. The island has recently been taken over by Maldivian management (AAA resorts). Previously it had Italian management and was not focussed on diving. However, the new owners, working... More

The resort is no longer called Adaaran Club Bathala since its take over by new management in late 2011. Now called Bathala Island Resort. We visited in early March 2012. Refurbishment has taken place, still a few things to do, but nothing that really affects the guests. Rooms are fine although the outdoor bathrooms need some tlc. All the bungalows... More

Very small island and a true gem!! Just indulge in pure maldivian delight, Kick back and soak up the sun and peace and quiet.The house reef is wonderful ideal for those who don't scuba dive. The food is very good but don't expext 5* cuisine. German visitors are the majority on this island.

Italian managed Resort........but very quiet!! Fantastic house-reef Rooms are not luxury but large and clean. Good Food I think this is the place you should go if you're not interested in 5star Hotels but you love nature and sea.

The staff are first class and so friendly and accommodating but be aware that it is customary to tip just about every member of staff you come into contact with, either during the stay or at the end of the stay. This works out very expensive, we dished out $85usd and it only ended there because we were aggreived to... More
