Futtaru Sands

“Райский уголок”

We stayed with our family (four adults and one child) at this guesthouse on a wonderful island with warm, helpful people. A private transfer from the airport brought us to the island, and the house, though modest, was very comfortable. Rooms were clean and fully equipped, with daily housekeeping and towel changes on request. Each morning the entire family enjoyed excellent breakfasts. The house’s location at the island’s end gives it a quiet advantage. The beach is fantastic and the ocean access is great. We were pleased and plan to come back. There were no major issues, only minor details that we didn’t mind. The main point was to enjoy the holiday and the kind treatment from the hosts and locals.

We spent a family holiday (four adults and one child) at this guesthouse on a beautiful island with friendly locals. The private transfer from the airport was arranged for us, and the house, though small, felt very cozy. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, and housekeeping came almost daily, changing towels when requested. Every morning the whole family was treated to wonderful breakfasts. The house sits at the end of the island, which keeps the noise down. The beach is great, and the ocean view is superb. We were very satisfied and will return.

The place was clean and the cook did a good job. I would have liked a more varied breakfast selection.

“Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.”

Owner Sanpo supplied us with plenty of useful information before our arrival and arranged the transfer to the island. We really appreciated his calm, straightforward manner. He also organizes snorkeling trips. Shipon, the housekeeper, is the heart of the house, caring tenderly for guests, preparing rooms beautifully (the bed with flowers and intricately folded towels). He gratefully takes guest ideas to improve service, such as suggestions for breakfast options, and even brought Nutella for pancakes for my daughter. Our courtyard-facing room was very cozy, and the bathroom was spacious and spotless. Every day we ate under a lovely umbrella and palm trees in the courtyard. On my birthday Sanpo and Shipon surprised me with a cake. There are only four guest rooms; we were initially the only guests and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. It’s an excellent value. My comment isn’t about the guesthouse itself, but I want to share it: online claims the island is one of the cleanest, but that’s not true. The guesthouse is wonderfully close to the coast, and you can hear the sea at night from the bed. However, that stretch of coast is heavily littered with construction debris and washed-up trash, which shocked us at first. Since Gaafaru is a “local island,” perhaps this is unavoidable, but I wish the beautiful island with its bright blue lagoon could be completely free of garbage.
