Ithaa Inn Kamadhoo is a cosy, contemporary guesthouse set on the local island of Kamadhoo in Baa Atoll — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It's a wonderful choice for travellers who want to experience the real Maldives, far from the bustle of the big resorts, with powder-white beaches, a living coral reef and an atmosphere of pure calm.
The guesthouse sits just a couple of minutes' walk from the tourist beach, along a path that winds through a leafy palm grove, with the water only about 40 metres away. The rooms are bright and newly built, styled in a modern look with touches of traditional Maldivian design. Each comes with air conditioning, a minibar, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and a balcony that's perfect for watching the sunset. Down on the beach, sun loungers and umbrellas are set out for guests.
The house reef lies right off the shore and is easy to reach for snorkelling — you'll find live corals, sea turtles, moray eels, octopus and shoals of bright tropical fish. Thanks to its location in Baa Atoll, famed for its rich underwater world, the waters around the island are ideal both for seasoned divers and for anyone planning their very first dive.
Breakfast is included, and the warm, attentive hosts make every stay feel effortless. Ithaa Inn Kamadhoo is a perfect fit for anyone seeking a quiet, romantic getaway, authentic island life and a world of colour beneath the waves.
