A local-island guesthouse on Feridhoo
Asaa View is a guest house on Feridhoo, a local island roughly 90 km from Malé and reached by seaplane. It sits in a part of the Maldives where guesthouses rather than large resorts define the experience — the pace is slower, and the surroundings are more genuinely inhabited. The property has a restaurant, BBQ facilities, an outdoor garden area, and a tour desk that arranges excursions. Rooms include family options and come with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and free WiFi. It holds a 4.1/5 Google rating across 35 reviews.
The honest verdict
A straightforward, locally run guest house on a real Maldivian island — practical, unpretentious, and a solid base for water-based excursions.
Best for
- Travellers wanting a local island experience
- Couples or small families on a budget
- Snorkelling and diving day trips
- Those happy to fly in by seaplane
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers expecting resort-style amenities
- Those who prefer a beach directly at their door
Garden and outdoor spaces
The property has a garden, outdoor furniture, and a picnic area — enough room to sit outside without being confined to your room. BBQ facilities are also on-site, giving evenings a different character from a standard guesthouse stay.
The island setting
Feridhoo is a lived-in local island, not a purpose-built resort island. That means a community around you, a real neighbourhood to walk through, and a sense of place that a private resort island cannot replicate.
Rooms built for comfort
Beds run longer than two metres, a detail that taller guests will appreciate. Each room has a private bathroom with free toiletries, a hairdryer, and a shower, plus a refrigerator and electric kettle in the room.
Tour desk and excursions
The tour desk arranges snorkelling, diving, and fishing trips through local operators, as well as cultural tours. None of these activities run directly from the property — they are boat-based excursions booked via the desk.

Getting there
Getting to Asaa View on Feridhoo in North Ari Atoll means covering about 90 km from Malé (MLE) by seaplane — a scenic flight of roughly 25 minutes. The property arranges the seaplane once your flights are confirmed. Seaplanes fly in daylight hours only, so late arrivals may overnight in Malé.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
On the map
Feridhoo sits in North Ari Atoll. North Ari Atoll (Alifu Alifu) is known for vibrant dive sites, reef sharks and a classic mix of resort islands.

Snorkelling and diving are available as arranged excursions through the tour desk, organised with local operators. These are boat-based trips, not activities you walk into from the property.
