Who We Are?

hala Maldif “هلا مالديف”, meaning “Hello Maldives”, was established in April 2020 in Malé City by Shiyaz and Moey, two individuals passionate about travel. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, they recognized the need for a unique approach to experiencing the Maldives. Moey, a Luxury Travel Advisor, Travel Writer, and Maldives Travel Expert, has immersed himself in the beauty of the Maldives, having explored over 35 local islands and various luxury resorts across different Atolls. With extensive travel experience to 45 countries across 6 continents, including an unforgettable trip to the Maldives in 2016, Moey’s journey laid the foundation for Hala Maldif.

Drawing from their expertise, the founders aim to revolutionize travel to the Maldives. While the Maldives is renowned for its luxurious resort islands, Hala Maldif focuses on budget travel and supporting small local businesses. Our mission is to promote and develop travel to the captivating local islands and their hotels/guest houses, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in the genuine Maldivian hospitality and local lifestyle at affordable prices. By bypassing intermediaries, we directly connect backpackers to local accommodation service providers, speedboat companies, and various excursions and tours, including day trips to select luxury resorts, all without any upfront payments.

At Hala Maldif, we understand the value of your time. We strive to simplify your travel experience by providing comprehensive information about the Maldives, helping you select the perfect islands for your dream holidays. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, anniversary celebration, family vacation, festive season getaway, or embarking on a solo adventure, Hala Maldif is here to cater to your needs and ensure a memorable journey.
