Molar Wave Hotel

We visited The Molar Wave for 7 nights from 21-28 December. Himmafushi is an inhabited Island NOT a resort Island which is what we wanted and a fact we were aware of before booking. We booked through Agoda and opted for bed and breakfast based on the reviews we saw on other booking sites. Ali, Habibur and Mahesh met us from the ferry with huge beaming smiles and led the way to the Hotel taking our bags with them. We booked a double room and requested a large bed. And when we were shown to it, I have to say it exceeded our expectations. The room was spotlessly clean, smelt lovely, was modern and functional. The bathroom was again modern and very clean with linens all supplied. There is a small fridge in the room and a very efficient air conditioning unit. Perfect for our needs. We were given a refreshing welcome drink which they bought up to us and asked what time we wanted breakfast. The breakfast was outstanding and Habibur and Mahesh greeted us with warm smiles every time we saw them. Every breakfast was different, simple but very tasty, and there was plenty of it. If you require trips, Ali will sort them all for you, just ask him. I recommend the snorkelling with stingrays. We generally only eat once a day, but 3,nights we ate at the molar wave. It was a huge feast, not only for the eyes, but for the tastebuds. Again you really must try it even if it’s just the once. The boys take a lot of pride in their work and do their utmost to make you feel welcome. I can’t rate it highly enough they all work incredibly hard, not just in the molar Wave but in other inns as well. There is also a very strong sense of community. it was the best 7 nights with these wonderful people. Nothing was too much trouble and there is a lovely laid back feel to the place. The bikini beach is nice, not huge, but clean with loungers and only a short walk away. Jail Break surf beach is also walkable but bikini are not acceptable there. All in all a fabulous experience and would go back tomorrow. Easily accessible are other islands in the North Atol should you wish to explore further. I would say if you’re a surfer this will suit you down to the ground. Alternatively if you want to spend time with genuine people and help the local economy this is the place for you
