Amazing place, great value for money. Guest house is very quiet and pretty small (7 rooms only), which allows staff to dedicate a lot of time to make each guest's stay truly remarkable. Villu Thari's staff team are super friendly and customer obsessed - they made our stay very warm, cozy, and full of positive emotions. I would like to separately mention their chief, who made various yummy dishes every day and was open to customizing them to our needs.

Getting there
Vilu Thari Inn Maldives lies about 79 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport, the country's main gateway near Malé. The nearest domestic airport is Maamigili, roughly 35 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 Raalhu Fonu Maldives (on the same island), Noovilu Suites Maldives (on the same island) and Goby Lodge Guest House (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.

Vilu Thari Inn Maldives averages 4.9 out of 5 across 39 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Highly recommend this hotel for a holiday. We only stayed for a week, but it was intense and relaxed at the same time. Excellent organization of excursions, the highest service in the restaurant on the veranda, delicious food. The house reef is full of different fish and stingrays (be careful!), free sunbeds are always available on the bikini beach. Super friendly and carefull staff, coordinated team work
If you're planning a trip to the Maldives, stay here! The rooms are great, the food is on point and the service is phenomenal. Thanks Vilu Thari!
