    Very nice and calm place on a small island. Close to the bikini beach, kind and helpful staff, although very busy (just two people for the whole place) and thus not available at some moments. Not their fault though. The breakfast was ok, you get...

At Bougan Villea Retreat, we place a premium on traditional Maldivian hospitality. Our hotel offers a unique experience, connecting guests with the charm of the local island. With a beach just steps away, our guests will appreciate both the serenity of the island and the sound of waves lapping at the shore. Our wooden interiors maintain a connection to nature, a reminder of the beauty of this incredible location.
Bodufolhudhoo is located in the heart of Alif Alif Atoll (Northern Ari). Due to islands geographical location it is well known for spectacular marine life. Local people care a lot about the beaches and nature being clean, so Bodufolhudhoo is one of the cleanest islands of the atoll. Though the first guest house opened here in 2015 only, locals are very friendly and willing to improve tourism. Bodufolhudhoo is the first island to ban plastic bags in the shops, so they are replaced with the cotton ones. Five minute drive away there is Mathiveri Finolhu sandbank where tourists from Bodufolhudhoo can get by motorboat. Also nearby there is a resort island Nika, where visitors can get a tour around or just enjoy some time in the restaurant or bar. There are two local cafes on the island, large children`s playground, as well as diving and water sports center being built.
