    Peaceful chic enclave in the city
    I stayed here after a trip on a safari boar in the Maldives, for two night prior to flying home. I stayed here some years ago and was impressed by the place. it's a small boutique hotel and Thai restaurant, owned and run by Thomas, an ex-pat German who settled in Male some…

    Wonderful Boutique Hotel With Day Room Offering
    We had a full day in Male before flying out late in the evening. We were so grateful to find that the Sala Hotel offered a day room rate, and that they had space. This is a fabulous boutique hotel (only 6 rooms) conveniently located in Male, about 20 min from the airport. The…

    A Fabulous Find
    The Sala Boutique Hotel is not some glamorous resort on a sandy atoll. It is a city centre hotel that, in its way, reminded me a bit of the movie, The Best Marigold Hotel. It is not run down at all, but it has a management that cares; it is reminiscent of a boutique hotel in…

    Dear Ian, Again, thank you for another wonderful review, to create this what you described was our vision and we do live it; our staff is a small family that integrate our guests into their community, all of us love what we are doing, The capsules for the Nespresso mashine are in the minibar! Why? Because only well tempered coffee in combination with mineral water creates a fantastic coffee, try it at home and you will see the difference! Looking forward to have you back with us! Warm regards

    Amazing service
    I was only in Male for a night but this hotel was amazing. Picked me up from the dock and went totally out of the way to anticipate what I needed. They knew my flight schedule and proactively gave me a wake up call the next morning to make sure I didn’t miss breakfast before…

    Enjoyed our one night stay!
    This hotel is lovely and is a peaceful and quiet oasis in busy Male. We arrived late at night and were met at the airport promptly and escorted to the hotel via ferry boat and taxi. The rooms are comfortable with nice amenities and it is very clean. It was so quiet in the…

    How far away from the beach is this hotel?
    You would not stay in Male expecting to go to the beach :-) Male is a built up city with just the artificial beach for swimming. The beaches over the channel in Hulhumale are a bit better - but still certainly no substitute for the beaches at the locals islands/resorts. Male/Hulhumale are just overnights stops en route to/from your international flight. Sala Boutique Hotel is a very nice stopover, and has a great restaurant with excellent Thai food.

    is there a airport transfer service provided?
    From Male airport all guests take a ferry to Male. Then grab a taxi. Cost will be 30 Ruffiya - less thsn $2. I do not think there are any places doing transfers.

    Does this hotel have a swimming pool? Is there a beach close by that can be used? Thanks!
    I am sorry to say the hotel does not. However Thomas the owner can tell where to go if you really need one. We stayed two nights and then proceeded to get on a live aboard for diving. The then the to Holiday inn on in Kandoma island. No need for pools if you are surrounded by the Indian Ocean. ;)

    Bonjour, nous souhaitons réserver une nuit dans cet hôtel, mais nous nous posons la question de savoir s'il y a un service de transfert de l’hôtel vers l’aéroport tôt le matin et est ce que c'est compris dans le prix ? En effet nous avons notre vol à 8h55. merci beaucoup
    bonsoir, nous prenons tous nos invités gratuitement - laissez-nous savoir votre numéro de vol d'arrivée, s'il vous plaît réserver directement avec nous, nous vous donnons le meilleur prix possible! j'ai hâte d'avoir de vos nouvelles, Thomas CEO

    "Only 6 rooms in enclosed courtyard at rear. Deluxe rooms are best."
    "Three on main floor and three up a short flight of stairs, all similar with a poster king bed"
    "Most rooms have closed window because they faces inwards of the building"
    "In garden rooms that are very quiet and hidden from the noisy male streets"
    "Ask for the top floor if available. Only 7 rooms to this boutique hotel."
