Homestays in Dharavandhoo

The staff here is amazing! As we arrived we felt very welcome and also during our stay the staff is always happy to have a chat. The excursions are the best part. Also dinner on the beach, candle light, no music just the sound of the ocean: truly unforgettable. The food is also very good.

We had an amazing stay at Blue World. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and well located. We loved having the bikes available to quickly get around! What really made the stay was the staff - they were just amazing! We did three excursions in two days - to Hanifaru to see the mantas, then another trip snorkelling on two reefs, and finally a sunset dolphin cruise. The staff are so knowledgeable and friendly, they took us all over and spent so much time teaching us and showing us their wonderful island. We would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you for the best stay!!

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

During whole stay, everything was very clean..personnel was amazingly calm and polite. Like small family run place with owner always on your service. Will be back ;)

Martin is the best host anyone can wish for. He welcomed us very friendly and took care of all of our needs and wishes. He even organized a perfect birthday dinner at the beach. The hotel is very well located and has beautiful rooms and very nice staff.

Staying on this local island was an incredible experience that we will cherish forever. Unlike the more touristy islands, Kihadhoo had a more authentic and serene vibe, and the locals were genuinely kind and welcoming. Our host was exceptional in every way. Not only was he the director of the local school, but he also managed the accommodation as a side project with utmost care and dedication. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. For meals, our host arranged dining at a newly opened local café. While the café still has room for improvement in terms of price-to-quality ratio, I’m confident it will grow into a fantastic spot over time. What truly sets this island apart is its breathtaking coral reef and vibrant marine life. Our host also organized unforgettable snorkeling and diving trips with a dive center on a neighboring island. These excursions were simply magical (especially in Hanifaru bay)! However, having a dive center directly on the island (which is planned soon) will make exploring the underwater world even more convenient. This island offers an authentic, peaceful getaway with stunning natural beauty and warm hospitality. We would love to return someday and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique Maldivian experience.

The property had a nice, modern design. Climatized rooms even for the restaurant on the balcony.

Everything was really good! Very cosy and warm house! Owner organize all the activities and everything you need! Room was very nice! Highly recommended!

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!
