I really appreciate and recommend the place, staff, location... Basically everything! We spent as family 4 nights here and this people treated us with high respect and did everything for us to have a wonderful stay! The beach is near, food is great I have only good words for this location. I am sorry that I can't leave a feedback on booking as I did book directly with them because Local inn hotel canceled our stay on booking (I really DO NOT recommend local inn or other associated hotel due to several issues and bad behavior) THANK YOU GUYS FOR TAKING CARE OF US!!

Getting there

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.
