Sala Boutique Hotel

Got here late and they waited for me and took care of me like a princess! I felt calm as soon as I arrived because of the atmosphere and their calm and cheerful welcome. The rooms are nice and the bed is very comfortable The owner Rose is very professional and nice. She sees what I want and need without me having to say anything ! The breakfast was amazing,  the best ever in a quiet environment with nice decor. I never ate at their restaurant but I can guess that it is also amazing Longing to return! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 My second visit here was as successful as the first! This time I also got to meet Thomas, who is a very nice man. Their breakfast is amazing with many kinds of bread that all taste fantastic! It is calm and harmonious and beautiful interior design.

Friendly small hotel which is perfect for a transit stop. Rooms are very clean and it’s quiet. It’s 15-20 minutes from the airport. They only have six rooms so book in advance. The rooms are centered around a very good Thai restaurant open non stop from 12–12. Thomas and Rose are superb hosts and respond quickly to messages. We had a seamless complimentary transfer from/to the airport.

We spent a week in Malé and enjoyed every night at this fantastic little hotel with a warm and welcoming staff. The bonus is their amazing and well-known Thai restaurant where we even dined with the Maldives' President one night! Located on a little street 500m from the airport ferry, you'll find a little grocery store and a mosque on the same street. Rooms are clean and spacious and feature a wonderful breakfast each morning. Our hosts made sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay including having us picked up and dropped off at the airport.

I only spent a night here, but the staff were so lovely I had to leave a review. I have never been treated as kindly as I have by the staff of Sala Boutique Hotel, it made me wish I had more time in Male. The room was lovely and very comfortable, and I appreciated the amenities offered (including a new loofah as I had accidentally left mine behind at my previous destination!). The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. They were so helpful with my luggage and with getting me back to the airport. Highly recommend this place if you're in Male!

We really enjoyed this experience. We were looking for a single night before going on a cruise. This location is right in the midst of everything and we hired a local guide for a tour. The hotel is clean and the owners are super friendly. We loved that we felt immersed in the city and the included breakfast was AMAZING! The arrangement is more like the old time "bed and breakfast" setup with the host interactions. It felt like we were guests of locals rather than staying at a sterile hotel.

A designed hotel with an amazing Thai Cuisine and delicious breakfast. Wonderful open air patio, everything made with a very sensitive taste. Clean, comfortable room with A/C. Great service all over. Good location in the center of Male. I can highly recommend.

If you get lucky to have space in this truly great boutique hotel 6 nicely decorated rooms in Male, you will find out that you are right on top of the best stylish restaurant in town. SALA is a gem in a very difficult town in terms of noise and urbanism. The German owner is a true hospitality master and he will insure that you are well taken care while traniting in and out of your resorts. Forget the rest ..This is heaven in this distressed capital ;)

Do yourself a favor and fly into Male a day early and spend a night at Thomas and Rose's little Oasis in downtown Male. You'll be whisked right away from the chaos at the airport and sent in a taxi (included in the price) and Thomas will be there waiting for you when you step out. How the two of them have been able to create this lovely little guesthouse (and Thai restaurant) in the midst of the general dilapidation in Male is a great mystery. Between the lovely Thai dinner (extra) and the real German breakfast (included) it's just not to be missed. And as an added extra the ride back to the airport is also included in the price and you'll be able to get an earlier flight to your resort. Go spend a night!
