Warm, friendly staff. Committed to helping guests get the best experience of Dharavandhoo and the neighbouring islands. Staff & guides are knowledgeable about the tides and behaviour of manta rays and whale sharks. After 3 attempts over 3 days, the weather and tide finally made it possible for us to swim with about 50 manta rays and 2 whale sharks at Hanifaru Bay. Exhilarating experience.
Facing the beachfront, Chak’z 1964 Beach offers 4-star accommodation in Dharavandhoo and features a garden, restaurant and bar.

The scenery and activities is pretty similar across the various guesthouses on the island, we saw turtles and rays when snorkeling near the beach. I will focus more on what makes Chak’z stand out instead.
I really love the rooms. They are new, big and very spacious. There is enough space to lay out all our swimming and photography equipment. We got a room on the ground floor so there is direct access to the beach. I love to sit on the sofa near the glass window to look at the sea at times.
The service staffs at Chak’z are also very kind, they really try their best to attend to all our requests.
During our manta and snorkeling trips, Husham will always look out for us and make sure we are safe and well. We didn’t eat often at the in-house restaurant, but no matter what time we go, the guys will immediately greet us and get to work. The food always tasted great!
Their breakfast is very simple, not a very fancy buffet with many dishes. But it was good for us because we love Maldivian tuna roshi. Chak’z Roshi is one of the softest that I have ever eaten. If you like varieties, there are many eateries around the island within 10 min’s walk. You can also get many things from the local supermarket.
If we ever visit Dharavandhoo again, we will definitely stay at Chak’z again.
Offering a barbecue and sun terrace, Hanifaru Transit Inn is set in Dharavandhoo in the Baa Atoll Region.

We had a wonderful days on the island thanks to Ahmed and his team. Ahmed met us at the airport, shared information about the island and showed us where everything was. The room was large, everything was clean. The breakfasts were excellent. Ahmed organised several tours for us at very nice prices. Everything was incredible. We swam with mantas, sharks, rays and even went night snorkelling with a whale shark. We recommend staying at this guest house, you will be very satisfied. We will definitely come back!

I stayed in Manta Sky Inn for 4 nights, and I found it to be very good. It is perfect for divers, the rooms are very spacious, it's a new construction, spotless clean, good wifi, and the staff is really helpful if you need anything. The accom owner Mr Sadiq received me at the airport in Male, and helped me with everything including all the transportation, money exchange; he even showed me around the Male so I don't miss anything. Its been a wonderful stay and diving, in the special island of Dharavandhoo during the Manta season!

Loved the hospitality that Lisham, Biraj, and the other staff members showed us all through at LVIS Blancura. They were very courteous and took great care of us when we went turtle snorkeling and sunset fishing. It's thanks to Lisham that we had our first ever sighting of a Manta Ray!

Blue World Dharavandhoo is a wonderful place to stay:
The room with bathroom was huge (3 pax), the marine decoration is super cute, both in the rooms and common areas which are also super nice and allow interaction with other guests.
We took half board: breakfast and dinner were yummy and varied every day!
Bonus points for the free bikes to move around the island!
But what makes this place an exceptional accommodation is the staff: We really appreciate how helpful was Kat (reception) even before our arrival and of course during the days there.
The room boys and kitchen team were also wonderful, attentive and caring.
Diving team were all great: Fasial, Bags, Api and the crew members did from our dives and snorkels an even more memorable trip! Thank you guys!

The hotel's location is commendable, with its proximity to Hanifaru Bay providing easy access to the breathtaking manta ray sightings that we were fortunate to experience.
But that’s all.

The manta snokelling trip in Hanifaru bay was stunning - seeing ~20 giant manta rays, the sensation is just difficult to describe in words! And the sunset fishing trip was also beyond expectation - we caught amost 20 fishes and the guesthouse helped cook the catch without surcharge.

The island is very small and you can walk it, in flip-flops, rather slowly from one end to another in about 15 minutes. It is very quiet, full of wonderful beaches, seemed safe and the grocery store was easily reachable as well.

Dharavandhoo is a very laid back locals island.
Dharavandhoo is a very laid back locals island. There is not much to do other than diving and beach time, both of which were truly wonderful. The island does not allow alcohol, and females should respect the Muslim culture and cover shoulders and thighs, and swim at the "bikini beach." A bicycle is all that is needed to get around the island, Keep in mind that there are few cafes and shops, so be prepared for diving, sun and relaxation. Airport provides convenient transfers to Male,

Small and quiet island occupied in its half by an airport and on the other half by the locals and a few guesthouses. Perfect place to relax and forget all the rest. Not much to see on the island. Few souvenir shops and one restaurant near the airport. Some excursions are organized by the guesthouses. Very quiet place. Friendly people, lovely beach and dolphins strolling by. I recommend Honney Bunny restaurant next to the airport. Dharavandhoo is not a place to stay for too long if you prefer busy environments.

Layers Cafe & Bakers is perfect place to buy fresh bakery or eat something. The staff is very friendly. I highly recommend for diving and Hanifaru manta trip the Liquid Salt Divers team. In the Harbor, you can find the Cafe'D Port with original Italian Carraro coffee. Perfect place for drink an espresso or Cappuccino or eat something. The Code Black and JIS cafe are good place to drink a good coffee. The best food shop is close to the Baa Atoll Shool. You can see the gate of the scholl from the entrance of shop. In the harbor, you can buy souvenirs in two souvenir shop and data card in the ooredoo shop. Finally, you can withdraw cash from ATM at airport. Enjoy your stay in Dharavandhoo!
