Too much garbage on the island. I also saw a sewage pipe releasing waste into the sea just off the beach which looked like human excrement...also too many signs saying "no bikinis".. There were no stingrays at stingray beach. Lazy people not putting their empty plastic bottles in the bins. Good points about Mathiveri; Lots of birds signing in the trees adding that tropical feel to the place. Lots of beautiful palm trees everywhere you go. Good place for sunset photographs..

The sandy beaches here are really beautiful. There is an easy access to the sandbank - depending on actual ocean current it is possible to swim there or rent a kayak. There is not so much places for snorkelling as there are not corals on the beaches. There is just one spot accessible from the Picnic island (sandbank).

Mathiveri is a wonderful little island with beautiful long white sandy beaches and plenty of greenery! The palm trees are just amazing. It has four great restaurants with affordable and delicious meals, a few great shops and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Also loved the sandy streets, harbour, shark view point - each part of the island has something to offer. People are nice and friendly and they all speak English.

Mathiveri is one of the better Maldivian islands. We ate in the Second Home restaurant - delicious food, quite low prices and good service. You can get around the island rather easily, considering it's size. Definitely recommend to visit the Picnic Island. It's a very picturesque location and the view of the sunrises is absolutely stunning from there. The bikini beach is also perfect. Just a little warning - don't go to the beaches at night, there are a lot of crabs.

We stayed at Sands Inn guest house in Mathiveri for 13 days. Everything was just percfect. The room was very clean,we loved the breakfast what Ashan and Ibrahim made and prepared every morning! We enjoyed the whole island with beautiful local people and spectacular beaches. Our hosts Ashan and Ibrahim were absolutely amazing! They really made our vacation ! They surprised us with a very special honeymoon dinner at the beach. It was something i could never imagine.They paid attention to all the small details. During our holiday whatever we asked or wished for they just made it come true right away!!! They were amazing! I definitely reccomend this place!!!

Mathiveri is a breathtaking island, however, the beach for the locals is so much more beautiful than the rocky one for the tourists. Therefore, who wants a real Maldives-experience has to visit the little island nearby, the getting there is a bit complicated yet managable. There aren't a lot of programs, it truly is a place to relax and switch off. The best restaurant is Mosu Kitchen in our opinion, you can find a variety of dishes there
