Cheap hotels in Maamigili

Everything was perfect! Clean, bright rooms, large terrace with palm trees and other equatorial plants, particularly tasty food, well-located location, interesting excursions and very welcoming and helpful staff in making transfers to the island. We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly those who like exotic nature and want to enjoy the hospitality specific to the inhabitants of the Maldives!

The Island Very highly recommended for a peaceful and authentic experience on the small island of Dhidhdhoo, South Ari Atoll (pron. DeeDoo). With a population of only 213, there are all facilities one could need including a small hospital, pharmacy, grocery and souvenir shops and even a new playground. The island is also immaculately maintained with all trails through the jungle swept regularly. Hotel This is a small, newly built guesthouse which is in excellent condition and immaculately clean. The rooms have very comfortable beds with ensuite bathrooms and a porch opening directly onto the beach. A charming communal eating area even has a free soft drinks fridge which is a nice touch. The excellent chef, Haroon, prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner (all included in the price) and is most friendly and helpful. Scuba Diving Do not have any concerns about the quality and professionalism of the dive centre even though this is a remote island. The diving school has only been open for a year so all the equipment is almost brand new and of very high quality. The dive instructor, Midhoo, is possibly the best I have ever dived with and has 30 years' experience in running dive centres across the Maldives. He improved my skills considerably over just a couple of days. As this is a small location, I was the only diver and we managed to see grey and whitetip reef sharks, turtles, rays, fabulous corals and and abundance of fish. The drift dives were a particular highlight and I felt completely safe during these trips. I could not have wished for more from the boat Captain Yoosuf and special thanks to the dive assistant, Mohamed for his attention to my safety and good humour. If you want a truely peaceful escape with no crowds, beautiful deserted beaches and a top quality diving experience, this is hard to beat, and for 3 dives per day including all equipment hire, a genuine bargain.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Vilu Residence Guest House, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The cleanliness is impeccable, creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere. The location is perfect, offering easy access to nearby attractions. The service is truly excellent, with a staff that goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The kindness of the staff adds a personal touch, making you feel truly welcomed. The accommodations are very comfortable, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. The facilities are top-notch, contributing to an overall fantastic experience. Vilu Residence Guest House is undoubtedly worth a visit – a total gem in every aspect!

We stayed at White Sand Inn for 3 nights. And would stayed there again for sure. Great price performance, frendly and welcoming team. They arranged the transfer to and back, they arranged whale shark trip(found whale sharks in no time + Mantas), after whaleshark seeing went snorkling on different reefs(included in price). (Through out all the trip they arranged all the transitions to different exit points) They have option to get bikes (out prefered way of exploring thing(for free)). The owner arranged picnic island trip, again for free(maybe exlusive ocasion, but still, it happened:)) Great breakfast. Clean rooms. They offer to wash and dry your cloathing, again free, which shows the hospitality that we receved. The bikini beach is 2min away. Scuba center(Shamar guest house) is next door. Our dive guide also stayed at white sand. (Shamar and white sand are owned by two brothers). All in all great experience, I would recommened it to anyone who is planning to go to Maamigili. 10/10.

Staffs are very nice, accomodating and made our stay very convenient. Recommended place to stay!

We have stayed for 5 nights with Sharmar guest house for scuba diving. We initially booked for 3 nights but ended up extending our stay because this place realised our dream holiday. We are super frequent traveller both work and leisure　having stayed in so many levels/kinds of hotels/inns in many countries. What we love about Sharmar Guest house is honesty, friendliness and cleanliness. If you are looking for posh, private, luxury hotel where your desire to be treated as "king and queen" fulfils sort of atmosphere, perhaps this place is not for you because is not 7 star. If you are looking for the place where you feel home and relax with clean, unpretentious atmosphere where you share your diving experiences and passion over beers, under coconut trees on the white sands with other guests and staffs, this is your place to stay in Maldives. Everyone calls each other with name. You enjoy dives and after dives with lots of laughter. All you need after repetitive diving is rest then bed linens and rooms are super fresh and clean everyday. (tbh much better than many star hotels we have stayed!). Room smells great. Clean bathrooms with sufficient hot water after diving. Of course I need to mention about kind, patient and knowledgeable diving instructors/guides who make this place even more special. Diving experience was exceptional that we encountered 4 mantas in 2 days, a whale shark, 2 turtles in 2 days, a group of 13 white sharks, hundred of schooling fishes, and breathtaking underwater sceneries...(we have many more diving spots to be explored so will definitely come back !!) Lastly, when you check out, you will probably feel so satisfied and justified seeing your bill just like we did because everything is reasonably priced despite of "Holiday in Maldives". We really would like to congratulate Shamoon and Markus created this place in Maldives. Thank you Shamoon, Markus, Anita, Sein, and crew!

Highly recommend this guesthouse if you like the tranquility of a small local island and not many tourists around, it's owner Haris and his team are really nice and they will make you feel at home, we had a nice time.

Amazing hotel located just a few meters from the bikini beach, where you have sun beds and umbrellas provided by the hotel (free of charge). The building is new and very well equipped. Rooms are spacious, clean and beds are very comfortable. The hotel is finished with high quality materials. The food is delicious and the staff is really friendly and helpful. Unlimited cold drinking water is available for guests at the lobby. Hotel offers a variety of excursions with competitive pricing and also snorkeling equipment for rent. We spent here 9 days total and it was a great experience!

The host was really doing everything to make our stay great, willing to accomodate to all our asks. The beautiful garden on the guesthouse territory is well-maintained and full of various plants.

Wonderful small hotel, very delicious food, very good clean service, everything was perfect
