+ My family and I had a great time! 😍 The pictures speak for themselves. 📸
In my experience, 🤩 vacations can sometimes feel like a test of "what is your current demand, and what are you looking for to be impressed," including all the very common daily variations of that. 😉
At The Barefoot, you just relax and enjoy your day-to-day stay as it comes, 😎 complemented by the great food and activities.
You do not even need flip-flops 🩴 during your entire stay. 🤩
✅ We loved the staff team and the pleasant, discreet surroundings. 🙏If you are looking for butler services, stay away... though surely you will be served with all your needs anyway!
✅ The atmosphere was excellent for us! 🤩If you are looking for classy and glamorous days, stay away... luckily, it is not a glossy magazine location. 😍
✅ We were pleased with the silence of the habitat. 🤩🍀If you are looking for family entertainment, stay away... luckily, there is none! 😍
✅ For me, it was true recovery time. 👍If you are l

A wonderful place for anyone seeking relaxation and healthy disconnection
+ The Barefoot Eco Hotel is a wonderful place for anyone seeking relaxation and disconnection. The resort offers its guests an impressively thoughtful reduction to meaningful basics; back to the truth and core being. Every single details matters. I personally looked exactly for a place like this and highly recommend.
The well trained, professional team — in all areas of the hotel — made my stay perfect.
The evening buffet is excellent, very high quality, and fully met my healthy eating requirements. The fact on non-alcoholic servings, no TV availability and no animations has been a big plus for me. The gym equipment did not meet my expectations. It is outdated, inadequately equipped, and, in my opinion, does not fit in with the otherwise high overall concept of the hotel.
The professional organization of the yoga classes is particularly noteworthy. I booked a two-week daily privat session with the yoga master Sagar (a certified yoga instructor and therapist). In addition to practicing

Tranquility in a jungle
+ The hotel is situated in a remote island, without any other resorts or people, so expect highest levels of tranquility, the lack of other islands around also means no overcrowded snorkeling spots, no loud boats or no speed boats chasing the marine life! The set up is beautiful, with a vast garden, which makes you feel like you are in a jungle, I almost didn't see other guests during the day. Striped by a long white beach with a swimming lagune of transparent turquoise water, the hotel also offers many activities, to discover marine life in a human manner - making sure the guests know how to treat the nature and environment around. I particularly enjoyed the food, especially the fresh raw fish being offered everyday. All the staff was very polite and friendly, making my trip even mor enjoyable. It’s a great compromise, you get to experience the beauty of the Maldives without emptying your wallet!

Paradise delusion
+ We thought a detour to the Maledives, coming from Sri Lanka, would be a good idea, as the flight from Colombo to Male is only 55 minutes. Unfortunately, it is quite complicated to get to the hotel - so our trip to the Barefoot Eco Hotel took us one day instead of the anticipated few hours. Also when flying back, we were booked on a flight to Male (because other guests needed to catch an earlier Flight) at 6:00am and hat to spend 5 hours at Male Airport before the departure of our flight back to Europe.
The Beach and architecture is very beautiful. The hotel’s benefit is the breathtaking view and the very polite service staff around the buffet. Also the housekeeping staff was very friendly and our room was always kept clean. In contrast, we experienced poor communication and arrogant behavior and less motivation by two guys from the reception staff, who smiled our questions away in a passiv-aggressive manner.
Still the Maledives profit from a past romantic ideal and narrative of the b
