Tour Inn
Tour Inn is a three-star city hotel on Abadhah Fehi Magu, rated 4.7 out of 5 from 72 reviews, and it works best as a clean, well-run base for a night or two around Velana International Airport. The main trade-off is that no beach, pool, restaurant or water sports are listed, so the sea and the atoll's dive sites are reached by road, ferry or boat rather than from the door.

The island
a city island
Tour Inn is a city hotel rather than an island resort, on Abadhah Fehi Magu in the Malé and Hulhumalé area, with 24-hour front desk, lifts, air conditioning and a terrace among the listed facilities. The record does not name the island it stands on. In Malé & Hulhumalé, alcohol is not sold or served and shoulders and knees are covered in the streets, so plan evening drinks elsewhere and pack accordingly.
Swimwear belongs at a beach or pool, not in the streets. In Malé & Hulhumalé, Hulhumalé has a public beach where local dress norms apply, about 5.0 km away in a straight line, with regular ferry crossings to Malé. Other inhabited islands with guesthouses are also within reach: Hulhumale at 4.9 km and again at 6.5 km, Himmafushi at 16 km and Huraa at 20 km. The listing is silent on whether the property sits on an inhabited island.
Nearest inhabited islands with guesthouses, measured from coordinates: Hulhumale about 4.9 km (25 guesthouses listed); Hulhumale about 6.5 km (7 guesthouses listed); Himmafushi about 16 km (22 guesthouses listed); Huraa about 20 km (19 guesthouses listed); Gulhi about 21 km (24 guesthouses listed).

Seasons
Seasons in Malé & Hulhumalé
The year turns on two monsoons. Iruvai, the northeast monsoon, runs roughly from December to April and is the drier, calmer half of the year, which suits crossings and general travel. Hulhangu, the southwest monsoon, runs roughly May to November, with more wind, passing showers and choppier crossings. Air and sea stay warm all year.
For divers and snorkellers, the northeast monsoon brings mantas to cleaning stations, often on the western sides of atolls, while southwest monsoon plankton and currents can draw larger animals into channels on the eastern side. Surf runs roughly March to October, biggest around June to August. Seaplanes fly in daylight only, and recreational diving is capped at 30 metres.
