Excellent place to stay on the island! Not only very well maintained but has cosy interior. Staying there was like being in own house. Especially we liked many little things that create much convenience and comfort, like fishes charts in dining room, air conditioner taken in the proper place in the room, tea, coffee and water available all the time in dining room, little garden in the backyard. Wifi is fast and works great. Manager Ahmed was always help with our requests. Overall it's nearly the best value one can get, kind of resort-grade hotel.

Getting there
Hanifaru Transit Inn lies about 116 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport, the country's main gateway near Malé. The nearest domestic airport is Dharavandhoo, roughly 0.2 km away, which matters if your transfer combines a domestic flight with a boat ride.
Local islands this far from Malé are usually reached by a domestic flight and a speedboat, or by a scheduled ferry or shared speedboat from Malé; the guesthouse can confirm current options and timings.
The nearest other stays in this guide are Bageechaa Stay (on the same island), Manta Retreat at Daravandhoo (200 m) and LVIS blancura (200 m). On a local island or in the city, stays this close share the same streets, beaches and ferry stops, which makes them easy to compare.

Hanifaru Transit Inn averages 4.8 out of 5 across 38 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Room is clean and neat with a pleasure flavor. Food are good, delicious and can be adjust to customer's taste, such as salty, spicy or sweet. Guest House Host is nice and do his best to satisfy the customer's need. The excursions to Coral Garden and Sand Bank are amazing. So does the sunset fishing. I was really touched that when we back from night fishing, the host gave us disposable rain coat without our asking because the night wind was cool. How thoughtful the host is! There is a wash machine and drink water machine for customer to use for free. Have a good memories here! Really a wonderful Guest house.
Best place to stay on Dharavandhoo. We’ve never had better service anywhere in the world! Recommend doing the sunset fishing, we came back and they cooked it up for us and of course saw lots of Mantas and a whale shark at Hanifaru.
