Banyan Villa Maldives Dhangethi ★★★

"This was our first time in the Maldives and we wanted to keep accommodation costs on a budget, so we could spend more on activities and try out new experiences. After a bit of research, we found Banyan Villa with quite convincing reviews and decided to contact them directly to make the arrangements. They replied to us quite swiftly and could consult on the most important questions before the journey, so we felt secured and informed from the beginning on. After arriving to Male airport and nearly 2 hours trip on a speed boat (which was actually quite bumpy, so be prepared), we finally came to the Dhangethi island. We were picked up on a pier by a hotel manager who organized a transfer of our luggage to the guesthouse and showed us the main parts of the island while walking to it. After a few formalities and a detailed explanation where to find what on the island we got the keys and could check in in our garden view room. It turned out to be commodious, clean and had all necessary things in it except for a safe, but the manager assured us that it's not necessary and there is a surveillance system outside of the rooms, so that was fine for us. Also later on we noticed that there is no soap provided for general hygiene purposes, but we could get an extra bottle of shower gel instead.👍 After that we had a meal in the villa, nicely prepared and pretty delicious. It tastes more like a homemade dish rather then a usual hotel-like food, but we actually appreciated it even more because of this. You can really taste local food there. In the coming days we had different types, usually fish and everything was tasty and prepared with love. A big thank you to the cook there! Btw a small tip: ask the guys to prepare you a maldivian breakfast, it's amazing. I wish we did this earlier and not only on the last days. And another tip: try out night fishing, it's not only fun to do so, but also guys will grill you the fish you catch on coconut shells, that's really something to try out. So we left our belongings in the room, picked beach towels provided to us and headed to a beach. It's good to mention that there are 2 types of beaches: touristic one also known as a bikini beach and a local one where you should be covered (i.e. it's not allowed to wear close where one could see a swimming suit underneath). The bikini beach is public for all tourists staying on the island, but it's not very occupied, there were around 15 people tops at the same time. You can find wooden sunbeds there if needed. Sand there is trully white, water is clean, warm and looks amazing, like on the pictures. The only downside is that it's pretty fleet, no more than 60 cm at the deepest point.. but that seems to be normal for Maldives. We found a deeper spot in 10 minutes walking/swimming distance in direction to the local beach far end. Aside from that, we tried out many different activities: snorkeling, diving, fishing and so on. The underwater world on Maldives is terrific and magnifice"

Handhuveli Dhangethi ★★★

Endheri Sunset ★★★

"The best guest house ever! I traveled a lot but never met such an amazing and attentive stuff team. The meal is good, thanks to the chef, the portions are really big, do not hesitate to try a Maldivian breakfast. If the weather is good they serve the meal right on the beach, but if the weather is bad in internal court which is really nice to. The way to Bikini beach takes like 2 minutes. We had a little problems with weather but the stuff didn’t let us get bored. The island is small but really beautiful, ocean is everywhere! Everyday cleaning, special towels for the beach, the floor in the guest house is so clean that you can walk shoeless. Thank you so much for such an amazing vacation and your hospitality!"

Dhangethi Inn ★★★

"We had an excellent stay in Dhangethi Inn,made even more special by the warm and generous hospitality from the boss, whose thoughtful attention to every detail truly made my experience exceptional,thank you for your kind of treat Ahmed and see you soon"

South Ari Dive Center ★★★

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I stayed here in July 2026 and had an absolutely fantastic experience. We did a total of 6 dives over 2 days, and everything was perfectly organized. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making our stay special. They even prepared packed meals for us to take on our diving trips, which was a thoughtful touch. The diving was amazing. We saw manta rays, reef sharks, and a shipwreck, and our dive guides were highly professional, experienced, and made every dive safe and enjoyable. The hotel was comfortable, the food was great, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of service. I highly recommend South Ari Dive Center to anyone visiting the Maldives. I would definitely come back!"

Perla Dhangethi ★★★★

"One of the most friendly places I have ever stayed. The guesthouse is clean, the food is great and plentiful and the location is perfect. The local island vibe was perfect for our family of 4, much better than the resort islands which feel far too clinical for our needs. The swimming pool was a blessing, the kids loved having the pool after a long day in the ocean. The snorkeling trips and other excursions offered by the guesthouse were extensive and such good value. Perla has some of the nicest, most friendly staff you will ever come across. They will do anything to ensure you have an amazing stay with them and will help with every element of your trip. We will 100% be back."
