In the two weeks spent in Keyodhoo this year, two excursions to the deserted island of Bodumohoraa, located in the southern part of the Vaavu Atoll, could not be missed. Last year we called it "the dirty island", because of the enormous amount of waste

Hulhidhoo is a small island close enough to Keyodhoo, about a quarter of an hour or so, sailing with a dhoni, and it is considered a"desert island" because it’s lacks housing at the moment. On our arrival, in front of us, we saw four people comfortably

We reached Male after a fairly uncomfortable journey but happy to be able to use throughout the day from morning. It is always wonderful to see the spectacular scenery of the atolls that seem a long way landing. Coming down we saw the islands dear to us

At 9 o'clock we left from the port of Keyodhoo and, after about one hour of sailing in a sea which was smooth as oil, we got to a beautiful sand spit, that is close enough to Alimatha resort. Ahead, in the distance, we also recognized the outline of Dhigg

The Guest House where we were staying, the White Maakanaa Lodge, we went four times on a fishing trip, which is the favourite hobby of my husband. That was one of the reasons this year we chose to go into a Guest house rather than a resort. Under the l

We continue the story of our experience at the White Maakanaa Lodge talking about its beach and its beautiful reef. About 50 meters far from the Guest House there is the beach reserved for its guests and for those of other Guest Houses, which currently

This is one of the UAU factor islands, where villas are just amazing... We stayed in the overwater lagoon vila and also the overwater ocean vila, and my partner and I liked the lagoon side more than the ocean side. Probably because of the soft sand below

Our arrival at the jetty of Keyodhoo, in the afternoon after an hour and a half by speedboat from Malé, was received with exquisite courtesy by almost all the staff of Maakanaa, who gave us two necklaces of flowers and refreshing towels. Loaded our lugga

My review is a little late, I stayed for 2 days at the Equator Village in July 2014. The reason I booked was I wanted to see the Addu Atoll. I could have chosen a guest house but as it was Ramadam and the rates for Equator were quite attractive, I decide

I certainly can not claim to know very well the airport Male, because in my life I have transited there only five times. I'm not obviously comparing with the Maldivians, who live there, and then in their airport they feel pretty much at home, but with oth

Before reaching Kurumba I have read so many positive comments about the spa that I must confess I was really curious to see if it was so cute. Kurumba is high level resort, therefore I expected high level of the services too. Of course I wasn't disappo
