Dhoani Maldives is the choice for anyone who wants to see the Maldives as they really are: white sand, turquoise water and the easy pace of a small island. The guesthouse is set on Kendhoo in Baa Atoll, part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and is a wonderful fit for a relaxed stay away from the busy resorts.
The rooms are bright and welcoming: air conditioning, a seating area, a TV, a safe and a private bathroom. Some open onto a balcony with a view over the garden. Guests can also enjoy the shared lounge, sun terrace and leafy garden, along with a minibar, tea- and coffee-making facilities and free Wi-Fi.
Kendhoo is ringed by sandbanks and small neighbouring islands, all easy to reach whenever you like. The clear water starts right at the shore — step in, and within seconds shoals of reef fish dart around you, with turtles and reef sharks passing by now and then. Baa Atoll is famous for its manta rays, living coral reefs and rich marine life, so the waters around the island will appeal to seasoned divers and beginners alike.
Dhoani Maldives is a good fit for anyone looking for a quiet stay, a taste of real island life and a vivid underwater world right on the doorstep.
