Beach Villa Maldives- hotel by the beach

About this accommodation

Beach Villa Maldives is a small beachfront guesthouse on the local island of Dhiffushi in Kaafu Atoll (North Malé Atoll), the easternmost inhabited island in the country. The property lies directly across from the sand and has around 19 rooms, with air-conditioning, private bathrooms, fridges, free Wi-Fi and balconies or terraces; some rooms face the ocean. Dhiffushi is reached from Velana International Airport via shared speedboat in about 40 to 45 minutes, or via the cheaper public MTCC ferry that takes close to 3 hours and stops at Thulusdhoo, Himmafushi and Huraa en route. Guests regularly praise the on-site dining, with full-board options and meals taken overlooking the lagoon, and the guesthouse arranges snorkelling, dolphin cruises and sandbank trips through local operators. Because Dhiffushi sees fewer visitors than Maafushi or Gulhi, the experience leans towards a quieter village atmosphere with traditional Maldivian life and less crowded beaches. The guesthouse suits budget travellers, couples and families looking for an authentic local-island stay with direct beach access and easy snorkelling off the shore.
