Always my go to place when i go to Maalhos. You can never go wrong with their food. Its delicious, consistent with presentation and of-course with quality. They serve good coffees too! Staff are friendly, owner is accommodating. Will always come back, either to stay or to just dine in.

Moonshell is an absolutely amazing place to stay at, especially if you are looking for a local experience in the Maldives. It´s run by the nicest family, who went above and beyond to ensure that I had the best time. You can have lunch & dinner at the property as well, the food is great! The hotel is located on Maalhos, a beautiful inhabited island close to Hanifaru, which makes it the ideal place to do day-trips from e.g., snorkeling with manta rays :)

Very nice and tasty place. The best restaurant on the island for sure. Good European food and local fish. Also in the same place you can rent some rooms to live on island or order some excursions or fishing. Thanks for staff, and Waheed especially:)

We spent 5 days in Moonshell and such a wonderful time we had in there! Everything was amazing - our room was big and perfectly clean, food delicious but Wahid's hospitality was beyond our expectations. He organized Valentine's Day dinner on the beach for us and it was magic! The trip to see turtles was fabulous to. Thank you so much for making our holiday unforgettable.Beata & Mike ❤️

We stayed at the hotel in February and enjoyed it a lot. It’s a modern place with comfortable rooms, where there’s everything you need. The rooms are tidied every day and it’s really clean there! Out room was a nice place to both relax and work. The Wi-Fi works fast, which was important for me as I was working. On the second floor the best restaurant on the island is located! The food is delicious!! Highly recommended! Finally, the hotel manager is nice and always ready to help. Overall, I enjoyed our stay at this hotel a lot!

We spent 3 weeks in Moonshell with 1.5 year child. Everything was very good. Hotel is cozy, just 5 rooms. So its no crowd. Room has everything you need. Good room service, clean, big enough. Good Wi-fi. The owners of hotel is a family, one of the best that we ever meet. The best mix of professionalism and home comfort. You really feel like came to relatives. Any time they can help you with everything that you need. For us they made all reservations for transfers, meet us in Male and delivered to hotel and back. Hotel has restaurant. Food was always fresh and tasty. Prices is not high. When we was there, tourists from another hotels , and also local residents always came to eat to Moonshell. Hotel is not on a beach, but its just 2-3 min walk. By the way, other hotels on Maalhos, that are located closer to the beach, but its not possible to swim near hotel. So you still need to get to bikini beach, it takes the same time. In general Maalhos is a small green island with beautiful reef, very nice people, has few shops. We was very satisfied with this hotel.

We spent two incredibly relaxing weeks at the Moonshell Residence in Jan. 2023. The Moonshell team went above and beyond to make our trip to the Maldives one of a kind. The food is magnificent. Don't be put off by the great variety of the menu - you can easily order anything from it and be amazed. As a matter of fact the Moonshell's restaurant is so popular on this little island that locals as well as guests of other accomondations were eating there frequently while we were there. The Moonshell team organized and also took us on many different excursions to other islands, reefs or sandbanks, lasting a few hours up to half a day. At the beach we were equipped with our own sunbeds and umbrellas. On our friends birthday they surprised us with a sunset birthday cake party at the beach. The team there is bleeding and breathing hospitality. If you are looking for a genuine experience on the Maldives look no further!

We absolutely loved coming to Moonshell every day for lunch, dinner or just a drink! The chef is so good, we were really pleasantly surprised. Many options but our favorites were the Butter Chicken, Beef Submarine and Watermelon Juice. Owner and staff are really nice as well and go above and beyond for their guests. We felt so welcome. Thank you Waheed & team!

Great place to stay. Nice clean room and good food. Maalhos is a beautiful island. I arrived on a clear sunny day which was a good start to my holiday. Upon arrival I was greeted by the owner Waheed who showed me around the island. The sea was lovely and warm and you can Snorkel directly from the island - so many fish. Thank you to Waheed and team for making my stay a wonderful experience.
