Cheap hotels in Maamigili

The Island Very highly recommended for a peaceful and authentic experience on the small island of Dhidhdhoo, South Ari Atoll (pron. DeeDoo). With a population of only 213, there are all facilities one could need including a small hospital, pharmacy, grocery and souvenir shops and even a new playground. The island is also immaculately maintained with all trails through the jungle swept regularly. Hotel This is a small, newly built guesthouse which is in excellent condition and immaculately clean. The rooms have very comfortable beds with ensuite bathrooms and a porch opening directly onto the beach. A charming communal eating area even has a free soft drinks fridge which is a nice touch. The excellent chef, Haroon, prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner (all included in the price) and is most friendly and helpful. Scuba Diving Do not have any concerns about the quality and professionalism of the dive centre even though this is a remote island. The diving school has only been open for a year so all the equipment is almost brand new and of very high quality. The dive instructor, Midhoo, is possibly the best I have ever dived with and has 30 years' experience in running dive centres across the Maldives. He improved my skills considerably over just a couple of days. As this is a small location, I was the only diver and we managed to see grey and whitetip reef sharks, turtles, rays, fabulous corals and and abundance of fish. The drift dives were a particular highlight and I felt completely safe during these trips. I could not have wished for more from the boat Captain Yoosuf and special thanks to the dive assistant, Mohamed for his attention to my safety and good humour. If you want a truely peaceful escape with no crowds, beautiful deserted beaches and a top quality diving experience, this is hard to beat, and for 3 dives per day including all equipment hire, a genuine bargain.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Vilu Residence Guest House, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The cleanliness is impeccable, creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere. The location is perfect, offering easy access to nearby attractions. The service is truly excellent, with a staff that goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The kindness of the staff adds a personal touch, making you feel truly welcomed. The accommodations are very comfortable, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. The facilities are top-notch, contributing to an overall fantastic experience. Vilu Residence Guest House is undoubtedly worth a visit – a total gem in every aspect!

We stayed at White Sand Inn for 3 nights. And would stayed there again for sure. Great price performance, frendly and welcoming team. They arranged the transfer to and back, they arranged whale shark trip(found whale sharks in no time + Mantas), after whaleshark seeing went snorkling on different reefs(included in price). (Through out all the trip they arranged all the transitions to different exit points) They have option to get bikes (out prefered way of exploring thing(for free)). The owner arranged picnic island trip, again for free(maybe exlusive ocasion, but still, it happened:)) Great breakfast. Clean rooms. They offer to wash and dry your cloathing, again free, which shows the hospitality that we receved. The bikini beach is 2min away. Scuba center(Shamar guest house) is next door. Our dive guide also stayed at white sand. (Shamar and white sand are owned by two brothers). All in all great experience, I would recommened it to anyone who is planning to go to Maamigili. 10/10.

We were relocated to this hotel after our original well-marketed hotel on the same island was overbooked, despite our early booking and confirmation. This hotel has far exceeded our expectations. The room was spotless, spacious, with a balcony, ample lighting, and a lovely bath with a shower. Daily water and coffee were offered, and cleaning services were excellent. The staff was incredibly polite, friendly, and helpful—from reception & restaurant team to managers & cleaners. We were consistently offered assistance, from rides to Bikini Beach to food and amenities. The perfect balance of personal space and attentive service made our stay incredibly relaxing. Although we didn’t take any excursions (as we just wanted to enjoy the ocean), the hotel also offers various trips, snorkeling, diving, and experiences with whale sharks, mantas, and coral reefs, with equipment provided. We loved the hotel so much that when our original booking became available, we chose to stay here instead. The breakfast, dinner and local Maldivian meals were good & filling. The hotel’s restaurant offers a diverse menu, with local, Sri Lankan, European, and South Asian dishes, plus desserts. It’s also open to guests from other hotels & locals, all of whom we've seen coming a lot. Our return trip to Male was flawlessly organized through the hotel, with staff assisting with luggage and escorting us to the jetty. We highly recommend this hotel and its fantastic staff! We’re now eager to return and explore the Maldives' stunning underwater world.

Great and dedicated staff, very good food, very clean, calm and perfect location for diving and snorkelling. Whalesharks and mantas almost guaranteed.

Highly recommend this guesthouse if you like the tranquility of a small local island and not many tourists around, it's owner Haris and his team are really nice and they will make you feel at home, we had a nice time.

We had such a wonderful time staying at Whale Shark Boutique Hotel. Everything about our stay was fantastic, from the comfortable room and local breakfast to the friendly staff and helpful service from Silva and his team. We were particularly impressed with the excursions. It made our stay even more unique and unforgettable. Thank you for everything. See you again <3

Really enjoy a stay in the guesthouse. I would especially point out Ahmed's hospitality and prompt support in every area.

Wonderful small hotel, very delicious food, very good clean service, everything was perfect

White tern Maldives is a wonderful place, with wonderfull people! We stayed as long as possible and nearly 2 weeks weren't even long enough. We were are able to relax right away on our arrival. You can't escape the friendly and relaxed atmosphere at the guesthouse, because it's spread all over the island. The bikinibeach with it's hammocks and platforms is quite unique for the maldives. Even though it doesn't have a blue lagoon it was our most favorite bikinibeach. We had it for ourselves most of the time. Haleem and Sheefa were very helpful and they really made us feel at home. Thanks for a lovely stay!
