A local-island guesthouse on Felidhoo
Masfalhi View Inn is a three-star guesthouse on the island of Masfalhi in Felidhoo Atoll, about 80 km from Malé. Rooms start at $93 per night. It has a house reef for snorkelling and diving, a restaurant, BBQ facilities, and a kids' club. Felidhoo is one of the less-visited atolls in the Maldives, so the guesthouse suits travellers looking for a quieter base with direct reef access rather than a resort experience. Oshi Beach is 390 metres away.

Getting there
Getting to Masfalhi View Inn on Felidhoo in Vaavu Atoll means covering about 80 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.
