1. Kiha Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 130 reviews
Kiha Beach is your luxury hotel where you discover the true meaning of ‘island life’. We are only a 20 mins flight away from the Maldives capital. On this hidden emerald gem in Baa atoll, the endless blue waters around are the 7th richest biodiversity region in the world. Within these waters, hide the iconic green turtles. When you see one of these protected beauties, you can’t help but smile. Manta rays visit our atoll to indulge on abundant planktons. Whale Sharks annually gather to breed, 2 km from your hotel room! Dharavandhoo’s ‘island life’ is simple but exemplary for the way we interact with our environment.
Absolutely wonderful, great staff and good value
Reviewed By travellover988Stayed here for 6 nights then moved to Kihaamaldives resort on near island then back for one night. Lovely big rooms with A/C and fan and balcony looking onto beach. Fabulous staff. To be honest, if you can do without alcohol and some of the facilities, you will enjoy a great hotel at 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the Khiaamalkdives resort. Lovely beach steps away, and reef only a few metres out (at least 50-80 m at Kihaa). food was at least as good as the resort but a bit more limited, I liked two fried eggs at breakfast and every morning without ordering it was in front of me before I could finish fruit. Reception outstanding, booking my flight from Male (at least $100 cheaper that the resort price), arranged for me to get to pharmacy liased with resort about boat ride etc. Brilliant long pool so could have a good swim, mosquito coils near tables at night (none at the resort). If I ever overslept. a phone call would ensure I did not miss breakfast - and stayed until I finished) For me the real bonus was that the hotel has their own boat with dive master. Lovely boat with room for 10 and good padded seats. At Kihaa maldives the snorkelling boat carried over 25, a local dohni so more spartan and difficult to keep up with dive master. The hotel boat will also take to further reefs a a small extra charge where we saw Turtles, rays, sharks and dolphins (the nearer reef is also good). On the last day reception kept phoning to see if Manta rays were in the bay and got me there (over 29 there) and back in time for my evening flight. BRILLIANT

Clean and Economical
Reviewed By ShasassWe were a bunch of friends visiting Dharavandoo, to catch the Manta Ray action in Hanifaroo Bay. 7 of us ended up staying here, either on twin sharing basis or single occupancy. Clean rooms, hot water available 24/7. The best part was the breakfast. The manager Shakir( hope I got the name and spelling right), made this simple morning meal an absolute treat! Fruits, eggs, toast and some Maldivian delicacies! How much ever you wanted to eat, it kept coming, no questions asked! A big thank you for that! Very economical, considering what the others charge around there. It’s right next to the airport, so you can pretty much get off the airplane and walk to Summer Shades! And Dharavandoo being a small island, getting anywhere is just a five minute walk. Would highly recommend this place to anyone going to Dharavandoo.
