Resorts in Dhangethi

The snorkeling was good (housereef only meters away from the beach). The island is very well kept and the food is excellent. A very nice experience

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Nova Maldives during the first half of August 2025. We booked both a Sunset View Villa and a Water Villa, and both were exceptional. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was a special place. The design of the villas is truly “Instagrammable” – stylish, modern, and incredibly comfortable. Everything was meticulously clean and met the highest standards. The staff deserves special recognition for their outstanding hospitality. They were consistently friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile, making us feel genuinely welcome and well-cared for. The dining experience was a highlight as well. The food offered a good variety and was consistently delicious, catering to different tastes. The resort itself is beautifully maintained, with pristine grounds that contribute to a serene and tranquil atmosphere. It’s the perfect setting to completely disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life and truly relax. We genuinely cannot recall any aspects that we disliked. Nova Maldives truly delivered on all fronts. A little tip for future guests: don’t forget to pack plenty of high-SPF sunscreen! The tropical sun here is wonderfully warm, but it’s also quite intense, so protecting your skin is essential for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The reception was wonderful, paying attention to all the details and making sure we were comfortable. Our reception upon entering the island was nice, and the honeymoon preparations at the villa were beautiful. The cleaning service was always excellent and very satisfactory. The other special thing was the restaurant. In the beginning, the restaurant staff were wonderful without exception, very nice and always with a smile on their faces despite their tiring work. As for the food, it was more than wonderful. At breakfast there was always a great variety of dishes available, and the dishes were also delicious. For lunch and dinner you always find a great variety, different types of dishes, different meats and other things that I did not expect, a very large buffet, to the point that you cannot try everything, every day the buffet is different and the dishes change, the corner for making pastas, hamburgers, barbecues and other things that they cook in front of Your eyes were so special and delicious. In addition to daily offers and various beautiful activities. Honestly, I need to write several pages to describe how wonderful it was to spend a honeymoon there, but overall everything was wonderful and beyond expectations.

Beautiful room with a nice view, wonderful food, very kind staff, good drinks... it was really a dream! We did diving with a school which is directly on the Lilly Beach island & I highly recommend them!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, including a very attentive and personal guest service that made us feel truly valued. The food at the buffet restaurant was excellent, with a great variety and high quality. The spa area is very well equipped, especially the sauna, and offers a perfect place to relax. The pool area is fantastic, and the beach and sea are absolutely beautiful. Overall, a top-quality hotel that we would highly recommend.

I would say everything. Friendly and helpful staff, great rooms, everything sparkling clean, well maintained, amazing food, perfect location with rich sea life. It was a perfect choice and we definitely recommend it. Thank you Drift for the amazing memories

Everything was simply wonderful. The room felt like a dream come true, beautifully prepared and cared for in every detail, making us feel as if we were in a little corner of paradise. In general, the entire staff made this vacation truly unforgettable. Despite the worries about the global situation, we were able to completely relax and enjoy every moment thanks to their care and hospitality. Our water villa was absolutely stunning.. spacious, beautifully designed, and waking up every morning surrounded by the ocean felt truly magical. Having direct access to the water made every moment special, whether it was an early swim or simply enjoying the peaceful view from the terrace. The small beaches around the island were just as beautiful, each one with its own charm. One of the things we loved most was the possibility to move around the island depending on the sun, always finding the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the incredible surroundings. The restaurants were simply sublime. Every meal was a wonderful experience, with delicious food, great variety, and a level of quality that truly exceeded our expectations.

The staff is great, the food amazing, the Indian Ocean a marvel (we've spent half of the holidays doing snorkeling and we even did a discovery diving for the first time in our lives). Above all is the attenton to every little detail of the staff: they arranged the transfer to the island, they prepared the rooms with everything we needed, including yoga mat + beach towel + moschito repellent + beach bag + umbrella (it was raining quite often, but this was not disturbing). They organized the last two dinners on the roof top terrace,. They made sure we will be picked up by the next hotel in Male and they gave us tips on souvrnir shopping. Important things to know: internet soeed is great, you can pay for all their services by credit card, us dollars are accepted if bills are issued after 2006, each evening you will get a presentation of the marine life you will see next day and you will see a video of that day's snorkeling and diving. All in one, a super great experience created by this amazing staff: Mette, Lucinda, Seb, Rami, Afraz, Cam, Dylan, the chefs, the boat crew, the guy who served the meals (so sorry I can't remember his name). All are amazing people, so warm and wecoming!

We were there 5 nights and enjoyed our stay very much. Very nice staff, clean room, small hotel, calm.

The building was brand new (but unfinished). Walking distance from the bikini beach.

The property is very close to the beach. The kitchen is fully equipped. We were provided with unlimited tea, coffee, water and some cupcakes. The rooms are clean, spacious and air conditioned.

Thank you for everything. ,restaurant was mazing ,family staff was really we feel like in home

The best place we stayed in the Maldives. Location and facilities were perfect. The highlight was the staff which included over the top treatment from Ali and Alam. From the moment we were picked up by Ali at the boat we felt so welcome and taken care of. Both Ali and Alam went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and our favorite home in the Maldives.

The property was great. We booked a family room and a regular room. Both were great. The owner is very attentive and met us at the boat. The island is paradise. The other staff made wonderful meals. Rooms were cleaned daily with special touches. We loved how walkable the island was with cute restaurants on the ocean where you could watch stingray and small sharks. We came here after a resort and this felt much more authentic. We snorkeled with manta rays, relaxed on a beautiful beach, and even did a big game fishing trip. We hope to return to Bayan Villa soon.

We had a wonderful stay at Dhangethi Retreat! The room was clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel at home. The location is great, close to the beach and restaurants, and the team also makes organizing excursions easy. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay in Dhangethi!
