💎 Why we love it ?
Our yoga holiday takes place on one of the most beautiful northern local islands in the Maldives archipelago and is designed for everyone who wishes to escape the daily routines, stress, and worries of modern-day life. When not enjoying a yoga or meditation class there are plenty of other optional activities to participate in, or you can choose to just lie back, relax on the white sandy beach or by the pool and listen to the gentle lapping of the Indian Ocean waves.

No stress at all!
My wife and I booked a yoga and diving tour at the Barefoot Eco Hotel on Hanimaadhoo Island for 8 days. Our flights from Canada could only arrive a day before and leave a day after our check-in dates and the staff at Secret Paradise went well out of their way to assist in making these fringe days as comfortable as possible. They set up all transportation to and from the airport and helped us in booking a hotel in Hulhamale on either side of the retreat. They were there to meet us at the airport and arranged our local flight to Hanimaadhoo. From the moment we stepped off our 20-hour flight in the Maldives, Secret Paradise looked after everything, including setting up a last-minute private tour of Male while we were waiting for our return flight. Thanks for a wonderful vacation.

We were very happy with our yoga retreat holiday, which was booked and organized with Ruth’s help. The company gave us the best rate for the holiday (even better than the hotel’s original rate) and was extremely efficient with the booking and communication. The eco concept of the hotel added a unique and engaging touch to the general exotic holiday experience you can find in other Maldives’ hotels, as the hotel has a group of marine biologists who work there and organize guided snorkeling and diving tours with the detailed presentation on marine life and their work to preserve it. The chief in The Barefoot prepared delicious food every dinner and although the choice of food in the buffet is not huge, there was always a good selection of meals worthy a five star restaurant. The beach in The Barefoot is sandy and beautiful, however, there is no abundance of sea life right near the beach and the richer riffs are about 10-15 min away of swimming (or 5 mins on the boat). But it gives you an ability to swim freely is you just want to swim instead of snorkeling. The service at the hotel is good and the rooms are cleaned twice a day. The bar at the boat is worth visiting, as the boat itself has an exciting exterior of a pirate boat, while watching the sunset from it having a cocktail or star gazing at night is definitely a memorable experience

Wonderful beach & yoga holiday
Thank you to Secret Paradise for having arranged our wonderful stay at the lovely Barefoot ecolodge. We thoroughly enjoyed the morning and sunset yoga sessions with Ramunni, the snorkeling excursions and dives to witness the colorful sea life, the delicious breakfasts and dinners (fresh fruit, the curries were sooo good!), the evening lectures & movies, the books, the beauty of the surroundings, the white sandy beach and turquoise water, and the funny flying foxes (bats) that make their appearance at sunset. The toughest thing was to pack our bags and head home!

I can’t praise Secret Paradise enough for their help with my recent holiday. I made a group booking to take 14 yoga students out for a yoga holiday. The staff were very helpful in greeting my group at Male airport, helping to check all our luggage in for the 2 hour connecting internal flight to our final destination. They were extremely helpful again when traveling back, some of my students that left later than myself had missed their connecting flight due to adverse weather conditions. They made sure my students were well cared for, booking them on to different flights and again taking care of checking their luggage in & waiting with them whilst they waited for their connecting flight home.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use this package again, Ruth and her team are extremely helpful in helping everything runs smoothly. Many thanks
