“We were a bit skeptical about all the positive reviews, but Nirili Villa and the team won us over from the start.
It's a guesthouse with excellent value for money. The rooms were large with modern showers, plenty of drying facilities, free fresh water every day, and air conditioning. There were even suitable power plugs and regularly replaced towels (including for the beach). You are taken to/picked up from the harbor. Breakfast was small but sufficient. Free coffee/cappuccino is available all day. We were invited to dinner on the first evening, and there was also a free Maldivian dinner on Thursday evening. Overall, the dinner was good and very reasonably priced.
The excursions offered are also very reasonably priced. We booked snorkeling with turtles and seeing dolphins. Both were great experiences. The team, especially Amir, are friendly and open and happy to help.
Dhiffushi is a beautiful local island. The bikini beach in the north of the island is particularly recommended. At the other bikini beach, you can spot stingrays every evening. The island is a quick 45-minute speedboat ride from Malé.
We would come back!”
“Super clean and perfect room for a stay in Maldives. The breakfast is super varied and the attention from everyone in the staff is amazing. They help you to book speed boats, attractions and they drive you to the port and back”
“Arshad and Ahmed were sooo helpful and kind - they arranged my speed boat transfer with ease, supported me with arrival and departure, free of charge shuttle buggy to the house, and the communication was seamless both before and during the stay. I couldn't have asked for better hosts!
The accommodation was perfect for my needs - Arshad kindly showed me around the island on arrival to ensure I knew how to get around, as well as showing me to the local hot spots (i.e. stingray and shark jetty, sunset beach, etc.) - this put me at ease on my first trip to the Maldives and as a solo traveller. Everything on the island was an easy walk away and Arshad had recommendations for restaurants and helped me with booking excursions. The room was comfortable and very clean, towel provided as well as hairdryer. All facilities that I needed were there, and delicious breakfast cooked every morning at a time that was convenient for me. Fabulous!
The island was very safe, beautiful, and I found all the locals to be very welcoming and friendly!”
“Great location for one night. The staff were lovely and friendly. Room- slightly tired looking giving spaceship 🚀 vibes. The view in the morning was lovely. Breakfast questionable. It was what we needed for the price we payed for one night.”
