Guest Houses in Dharavandhoo

I had an amazing experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal – making it easy to explore the area. The breakfast was outstanding, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. What really stood out was the exceptional service – nothing was too much trouble, and every request was met with a smile. I truly felt like a valued guest throughout my stay.

Beautiful and quiet property. rooms are spacious and very well maintained. Although it seems tucked away in a corner of the island, everything is close by with two good restaurants on the island at walking distance. they provide free cycles to move around, which was fun. Kat was very helpful in booking boat ride back for us.

The environment is comfortable, the staff is welcoming, the meals are good, recommended

Best place for diving and snorkeling with mantas and whale shark

Great hospitality, great foods, great beaches! Definitely will come back to Maalhos with Madi Giri!

Rather than a luxurious, tourist-heavy resort island, Kihaadhoo is a local island with a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. The islanders are incredibly kind, and everyone greeted me with a welcoming smile. A stroll through the village streets gave me a glimpse into their way of life and culture. ​The hotel room was very satisfying, with a comfortable bed, good air conditioning, a spacious bathroom with plenty of natural light, and fast Wi-Fi. The serene setting, surrounded by large trees and beautiful flowers, was wonderful. Sitting in a chair in the courtyard, I could relax to the sound of birds chirping and a pleasant breeze from the sea. ​Of course, I enjoyed the beautiful underwater world of the reef, filled with pretty fish, including cute clownfish, and sea turtles. ​The owner, Mohamed, was very polite and helped make my stay enjoyable and memorable. The restaurant chef was also kind, cooking the fish I caught and preparing a variety of delicious local dishes. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for place with outstanding Malidivian hospitality. ​The owner's motto, "Arrive as a guest, leave as a friend," truly came to life. I will definitely be returning to this wonderful island where I made so many friends. 

Waheed is the best guest that we could have had. He helped us with the transfer (speed boat) from male to the island and even with a taxi from the hotel to the place where we had the boat. The food is great and cheap with a lot of variety from where you can choose. The cocktails are amazing. The room was very big and he provided a baby cot for our baby too. The bikini beach is big and we had our sunbeds on the beach with towels for the period of our stay. He arranged our wedding ceremony on the beach which was very lovely. The water is very clean and is the best spot for snorkeling with a lot of corals and fishes very close to the land. Locals from the island are very friendly, you have a shop from where you can buy a lot of things(better to pay with local currency).

The owner is just the best. Whatever you want he will make it happen for you. The location is perfect: only 3 min walking to the dive center, 7 min to bikini beach and restaurants very close by. Very nice breakfast! I got loads of fruits and asked to take them with me. So every morning there was a take away package ready with fruits and any egg style I wanted.

We have been for the second time in the hotel - really friendly and helpful stuff, the hotel located exactly by the beach; we had all we needed for 3* hotel; many thanks to the owner!
