    방 깨끗하고 숙소가 크진 않지만 공용 공간을 예쁘게 해놨어요. 공항에서 걸어서 2분 거리인데 그래도 픽업 옵니다. 섬이 작아서 위치는 별로 중요하지 않아요~ 조식도 매일 조금씩 메뉴를 다르게 해서 주고, 저녁은 계속 숙소 식당에서 먹었는데 이 섬에서 5,6군데 식당을 가봤지만 여기서 먹는 것이 매우 괜찮은 옵션입니다. 직원들도 넘 친절하고 바로 옆집에 마트 있고 스노클링 장비도 빌릴수 있어요!

BISA MALDIVES
Athirige ® (meaning Beach House), is located in the heart of Baa.Atoll, Dharavandhoo island, one of the Maldives' most popular and prominent diving spots and the location of Hanifaru Bay, a world-renowned UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is the greatest alternative for seeing a cozy Maldivian style. A 5-Villa private rental combined with an excursion boat catering to each guest's specific needs is the most exquisite option for an idyllic getaway to marvel at the mesmerizing natural pebbles of a white sandy beach and to cruise in the sun-kissed sea of paradise, under the new guest house concept "whenever wherever" developed by team BISA MALDIVES. The concept consists of five spacious villas, ideal for couples, families, and friends up to 12 (twelve) maximum, furnished with all modern amenities. Fleeing to Athirige's elegance with our sumptuous guest rooms packed with additional perks, and relish in the utmost comfort in our lavish 3-star Boutique House, where domestic transportation takes just 35 minutes, direct from Velanaa International Airport.
Situated on the west of the Maldives atoll chain, Baa Atoll comprises 75 islands scattered across nearly 1200km2 of sea and of these, only thirteen are inhabited with a population of over 11,000 people. Baa Atoll was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2011, an indication of the fantastic diversity found in the region and of the growing role tourism can play in conservation and sustainable tourism. As part of this designation, reefs, islands and channels within Baa were protected, and strict guidelines for tourists visiting Hanifaru Bay were introduced - helping to protect the incredible marine life that can be found in the atoll. Tourists can now witness the manta rays and whale sharks of Hanifaru, safe in the knowledge their impact is kept to a minimum.
