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.
House reef access
A house reef for snorkelling and diving is one of the two things Fen Villa specifically flags about itself. Guests can reach it directly from the island, without arranging a separate excursion or paying for a boat transfer.
Watersports on site
The property has water sport facilities including windsurfing, canoeing, snorkelling, and diving. A tour desk is available to help organise activities. Fishing trips can also be arranged.
On-site dining
There is one restaurant at Fen Villa. Breakfast can be served in the room, and a tea and coffee maker is included. Room service is available, which matters on a local island where outside dining options may be limited.
Room basics covered
Each room has air conditioning, free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, a private bathroom with free toiletries, and linen and towels. It is a functional setup without extras.

Getting there
Getting to Fen Villa on Dharavandhoo in Baa Atoll means covering about 116 km from Malé (MLE) by seaplane — a scenic flight of roughly 35 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.
