A place to stay on Keyodhoo
Manta View Guest House is a 3-star property on Keyodhoo island in the Maldives, roughly 81 km from Velana International Airport. The island sits well off the main tourist circuit, which keeps things quiet but limits dining options close by. Breakfast is included in the rate. The guest house has its own restaurant, a spa, and beach access. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout, and airport transfers can be arranged for an extra charge.
The honest verdict
A small, straightforward island stay with included breakfast, limited nearby dining, and a long transfer from Malé.
Best for
- Travellers wanting a local island experience
- Budget-conscious couples
- Guests prioritising a spa on a smaller property
- Families (kid-friendly)
Maybe not ideal for
- Anyone wanting resort-style amenities
- Travellers who prefer walkable dining and nightlife
- Those needing quick, cheap airport access
Beach access on Keyodhoo
The guest house has direct beach access. Keyodhoo scores 3.8 out of 5 for things to do in the area, which is reasonable for a local island, though you will not find the activity infrastructure of a resort.
Breakfast included
Every stay includes free breakfast, served at the on-site restaurant. The restaurant also covers lunch and dinner, which matters on an island where local dining options score just 1.6 out of 5 for variety.
Spa on-site
The guest house runs an on-site spa. For a 3-star local island property, having a spa at all is uncommon, and it is likely the main draw for guests not spending all day on the water.
Practical family setup
The property is listed as kid-friendly and has parking on-site. Air conditioning is standard across rooms, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building.

Inside Manta View Guest House
Getting there
Getting to Manta View Guest House on Keyodhoo in Vaavu Atoll means covering about 81 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.

Yes. There is a spa on-site. Details on specific treatments and pricing are not available here, so ask the property for their current menu when enquiring.
Is there a restaurant at the property?
Yes, Manta View has its own on-site restaurant. Given that the surrounding area scores 1.6 out of 5 for dining variety, eating at the property is the most straightforward option for most meals.

What is the best time of year to visit Keyodhoo?
The Maldives dry season runs roughly November to April, bringing calmer seas and less rain. The wet season from May to October can affect seaplane and boat transfers, so factor that into planning if your travel dates are flexible.
