What a stay costs
Indicative room-only estimate from the lowest nightly rate — excludes airport transfers, taxes and seasonal price changes. Many Maldives properties also require a minimum stay. Check live rates for your dates.
White-sand beach on your doorstep
The guest house sits directly on Omadhoo's beach, with white sand and turquoise water a few steps from the terrace. This is the property's most immediate physical asset — no boat ride needed to reach the shore.
Rooms with sea or island views
All rooms have private balconies and climate control. The sea-view rooms look out over open water; island-view rooms face the surrounding local landscape. Rooms come in standard (12 m²) and larger luxe configurations (17 m²) with an extra bed.
On-site restaurant and BBQ
The property has its own restaurant serving a broad spread — continental, Italian, full English, Asian, vegetarian, halal, and buffet options. A BBQ terrace adds another setting for meals. Breakfast is included in every stay.
Stay packages for different budgets
Three pre-built packages — Budget Explorer at $500 per guest, Honeymoon on a Budget at $850, and Family Getaway at $1,000 — bundle accommodation and extras for guests who prefer a fixed-price plan over booking à la carte.

Getting there
Getting to Dhoadhi Beach Maldives on Omadhoo in South Ari Atoll means covering about 77 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.
