A local-island guesthouse on Kanditheemu
Kandithmeemu Inn is a bed-and-breakfast on Kanditheemu Island, about 259 km from Malé. It sits close to a house reef used for snorkelling and diving, and has a spa and restaurant on the property. Double rooms start at $58.50 per night, making this one of the more affordable ways to access a functioning reef in the Maldives. With only a handful of Google reviews so far, it is an early-stage property rather than a well-documented one.
