Homestays in Baa Atoll

most welcoming arrival! attentive and friendly hosts. Delicious Maledivian breakfast, they even went to the market when we asked for some extra chillies. We enjoyed our room (upstairs) a lot. The bikini beach at the south of the island was also beautiful, with shade, hammoks and a bit different scenery to other islands.

Faima Fishing Lodge is a special place to enjoy.. It's near the bikini beach just 30 meyre6.. It's clean structure with beautiful room and the owner Hameed is special person that help you in everything that you need.. I SUGGEST FAIMA TO MAKE A BEAUTIFUL TRIP IN DARAVANDHOO

The rooms are new, just opened 02-2025. Staff was very nice, helpful, friendly, always smiling. The breakfast is 1 minut walk just round the corner. It was tasty and enough for adults. Bikini beach is ca 40 meters from hotel it was clean. Corals very nice with a lot of life and fisches. The owner Mohammed organised the transport from Male airport as domestic flight for reasonable price and then picked us up with speedboat at the domestic airport. By leaving the island he went with us to harbour to found a local ferry to another island. Everythink was perfect.

What words can be used to describe such a wonderful experience, whether on the island or in the guesthouse? It's just an unforgettable moment. David. Thank you so much for the warm hospitality and kindness 😇

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

Since this was the first time we visited a local island, I texted the guesthouse reservation team and asked a lot of questions. They were very responsive and helpful. The rooms was very clean and nice. We wanted to do excursions at a cheaper price than resorts and they offered us fishing trips at a very good price. We went for fishing everyday with local guides and combined the trip with a picnic to nearby islands. It was an amazing trip with good price for everything.

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.

Everything is SUPER, was a short stay. Loved everything, this guest house is operated together with LVIS beach property. I paid less since stay was at LVIS Village as this is a lower priced property having it located in the Village instead of being on the beach, but is just 30 seconds walk to bikini beach and beach front LVIS property where beach front restaurant, garden and sun loungers for all guests are located. Garden and Beach is excellent, I spent all the time on the beach and garden and used room just to sleep 😁 Food is exceptional, excursions are great. Best or all is warm hospitality, how genuine staff is, feel like home. This is a place to return
