A local-island guesthouse on Thoddoo
Evila Inn sits on Thoddoo, an island in the Maldives known for its fruit farms and accessible reef. The inn runs a restaurant, has a terrace and garden, and keeps things straightforward — air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi, and free parking on the island. With family rooms available and an on-site restaurant serving a wide range of dietary options, this is a practical base for travellers who want to spend time in the water and on the island rather than paying for a resort experience.
The honest verdict
A no-fuss inn with a restaurant, garden, and family-friendly rooms on a quieter Maldivian local island.
Best for
- Budget-conscious travellers to the Maldives
- Families wanting flexible dining on-site
- Guests seeking local island atmosphere
- Travellers with specific dietary requirements
Maybe not ideal for
- Those wanting an all-inclusive resort setup
- Travellers who prefer alcohol on-property
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.
Garden and terrace setting
The inn has an outdoor terrace and a garden — space to sit outside without going far. Thoddoo itself is small and flat, and the garden gives the property a sense of separation from the road.
Restaurant with broad menu options
The on-site restaurant covers a long list of dietary needs: continental, Asian, American, Italian, vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, and kosher options are all listed, alongside a buffet and breakfast to go.
Rooms built for families
Family rooms are available, with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and en-suite bathrooms with a bath. An electric kettle is included, and there are clothes-drying and hanging facilities in each room.
City view from the property
Rooms and common areas face out over the local island townscape. It's an honest local-island view rather than a lagoon panorama, which suits the character of staying on Thoddoo.
