Our stay in La Cabana has been great. The host, Nishan welcomed us like we were part of the family and made us feel welcome. The nearby bikini beach is a nice spot to relax and enjoy the sunsets, with hammocks and lounging beach chairs. Mamigili island is a nice relaxing place, with great diving spots. You will enjoy your stay here! The dive master of La cabana Dive shop took us on a tour, and showed us all the marine life. It was a great experience, we recommend diving with them! We were able to dive with mantas Rays, many reef sharks, a few turtles, and we saw a napoleons and rock fishes as well.

Getting there
La Cabana Maldives lies about 111 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport, the country's main gateway near Malé. The nearest domestic airport is Maamigili, roughly 0.6 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 Maaniya Palace (on the same island), Dravida Hotel (on the same island) and Vilu Residence (150 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.

Lovely guesthouse with beautiful, clean rooms and fantastic staff. The service was amazing, all my wishes were fulfilled perfectly and I was treated incredibly kindly by everyone. The dive and boat team is fantastic as well, always took great care of me and made sure I didn’t lack anything. They took me to the best diving spots and gave me some unforgettable memories. I am extremely grateful to the entire team and HIGHLY recommend this guesthouse, especially for divers!
Fairly new guest house on an island where there's not many tourists. Some facilities are still not in place yet but Muray does go out of his way to make your stay comfortable. We even got a foc hp for the duration of our stay so that guests can keep in touch with him. How thoughtful!
