Family hotels and homes in Dhangethi

We recently returned from a magical stay at Nova Maldives, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm, personal, and deeply attentive. 🥐 Breakfast & Dining Experience The breakfast buffet was a standout — beautifully presented, with a wide variety of fresh options to suit every taste. They even provided avocado as per request. Whether you’re into tropical fruits, pastries or hearty hot dishes, there’s something for everyone. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly attentive, always ready to help, and keeping everything spotless. 🛏️ Accommodation We stayed in an overwater villa, and it was absolutely stunning. The villa was spacious, modern, and immaculately maintained. We especially appreciated the twice-a-day cleaning service — our room always felt fresh and cared for. 👨‍🍳 Service & Staff The service was truly world-class. Every staff member went above and beyond, but we want to give a special mention to: • All the waiters were extremely polite and nice, like Amir – incredibly professional, warm, and attentive • Ashraf – always smiling and made every meal feel special, offered his help many times and offered extra service. They made us feel welcome and remembered the little details, which added such a personal touch. 🤿 Diving Club – A Highlight of the Trip The on-site diving club was phenomenal. We joined the whale shark hunt, and it was an unforgettable experience. Huge thanks to: • Shiyaan – knowledgeable, patient, and deeply passionate about marine life • Jerry – fun, experienced, and made us feel completely safe in the water, even helped me not to sink as it was very difficult to swim while you are pregnant and trying to follow whale shark Their team was professional yet approachable — whether you’re a beginner or experienced diver, you’ll be in excellent hands.

The main responsible of having a wonderful time in Dhangethi was Tholal, the host of the guest house. We can only have gratitude words for him, since he was extremly friendly with us and took care of us during the stay, not only inside the guest house, with all the equipment (fins and face masks for snorkeling), but also giving us hints about the best places to do snorkeling. Concerning the excursions, we have to say that Tholal gave us the opportunity of seeing the Whale Shark and visiting a near sandbank in which coral and sea animals were just amazing. He organised all the activities and gave us some drinks and snacks during the excursions. The room was really spacious, perfectly clean and equipped with AC. The bed was really confortable and the room was also equipped with a small fridge and a strongbox. Doubtless, we will come back to Dhangethi Inn in our next trip, because we strongly feel that we could not have a better experience in Dhangethi in any other place.

Staff is the best ever! Amazing people, with whom we shared 11 fantastic days! We became friends with Isha (Ikko), Liv, grandma, Siro, Ali, Nade and pretty much everyone else - cooks, cleaning staff etc. (apologies for mistyping or forgetting to mention your names :)). They helped us so much and made our stay a dream come true! During our stay thanks to the excursions Perla organized for us we saw and swam multiple times with whale sharks, mantas, turtles, pods of dolphins, sting rays and also swam with nurse sharks and went to a beautiful shipwreck for snorkelling. On top of that they sent us amazing go pro footage from the excursions for free! We saw local traditions and sampled exotic food during a local festival and it all felt like being part of one big family. We went for a day to a fancy resort nearby but honestly, we would recommend Perla over any modern resort as in Perla Dhangethi you have everything you need on an exotic local island for the fraction of the price one would have to pay at a resort and as a bonus you meet so many cool people from around the world! We will definitely come back soon!

I recommend this resort. It was beyond my expectations. Very clean, the food is extraordinary, the beach is perfect, the employees are very respectful and always with a smile on their face. A resort rated 10. Congratulations for the way it is managed!!!

We visited this resort as our honeymoon, and we had a wonderful and an unforgettable experience. We stayed in a water villa, which gave us an easy access to the beautiful house reef. We saw many fishes and really enjoyed snorkeling everyday. Another thing I liked about the villa was that we were able to see the bottom of the sea from our room! There were also a wide variety of foods and they changed every day that we never got bored of. The bars also gave us many kinds of drinks and my husband enjoyed having “Tropical Spirit”. The resort was well cared, clean and comfortable. We would like to thank all of the people in the resort and will definitely would like to visit again!

Everything!! The resort was fabulous, the food selection was great and the staff were absolutely incredible!! Such lovely and caring people. The staff made my experience a whole lot better! The snorkeling was outstanding! Along with their other activities. Saw so many sharks, sting rays, star fish and other beautiful fishes. The accommodation was absolutely stunning!! Pictures don’t do the place justice. Truly an unforgettable experience. A short seaplane ride to this beautiful accommodation. Highly recommended

The house is super cute and convenient. All appliances are new and everything is well-maintained. The host would always check on us to see if everything was in order and he also assisted us with the speedboat transfers. This was an amazing find in Dhangethi!

I had the most wonderful stay at Antares Dhangethi. Fari, who runs the place with her husband, was there throughout, making sure I had everything I needed. The whole team at the guesthouse were some of the sweetest people I’ve met, always ready to help with a smile. One of the best parts is that they have their own dive shop — Fathu Dives, hands down the best on the island. Every morning before my dive trips, they thoughtfully packed my breakfast to take along. From the moment I landed, there was someone at the airport to guide me to the speedboat, and even on the island I was looked after, whether it was getting around by golf cart or just making things easy. This is not just a place to stay, it’s an experience filled with warmth, care, and genuine hospitality. I’d recommend Antares Dhangethi to anyone visiting the Maldives without a second thought!

Its a nice clean room with the biggest bed I ever slept in my life and a really nice garden. A lot of snorkeling equipment to borrow for free. Great staff
