Dhangethi INN

I loved the traveller vibe and the staff weee excellent. I booked it because of all the places on the island, the tours with Ahmed came up so highly rated every time. We were not disappointed- we had the most fantastic day swimming with 6 whale sharks. It was the most unbelievable experienced and all credit goes to Ahmed. When my husband lost his mask, he even found him another one. Dhangethi Island itself feels very local and definitely not overtaken by tourism. There are few restaurants and the food is very similar but the staff and the views are just fantastic. Do book a few days on Dhangethi and do a trip with Ahmed.

It would have been helpful to have soap in the bathroom and perhaps some softer lighting in the room.

We were two families staying with kids ranging from 12 to 19. We stayed 8 nights. Some of us have stayed at the Dhangheti Inn in the past and due to a great experience we chose to stay again. Our host is amazing, taking us out on his boat for tours where we swam with marine life (Mantas, Turtles, Sharks) and saw dolphins, and spent lots of time searching for whale sharks, unfortunately not to be this time! Our host made sure we did not want for anything, even providing us a home cooked meal which was delicious! The rooms are comfortable and cool. The rooms had flat screen TV, where we could log into our Netflix. We had breakfast each morning and there is a little kitchenette, supplied with bottled water daily and a washing machine for guest use. The Dhangheti Inn is located in the main street, and near two great restaurants (Compass and Blue Moon). It is approx 5-10min walk to bikini beach. During our tours our host filmed and then sent us the videos daily, which is fantastic as it our allowed us to be in the moment and not muck around with technology. There are also some old masks and fins available, which was handy as some of the kids fins broke and we were able to use the spare ones. Dhangheti is a local island so be aware that there are rules for visitors for respectful dressing and a mosque with early morning prayers. We loved the culture of the island, but it's not for everyone. We loved our trip so much that we are already talking of when we can go back! We can highly recommend the Dhangheti Inn and it's our first choice in any Maldives accommodation!
