A local-island guesthouse on Thoddoo
New Breeze Thoddoo Inn sits on Thoddoo, an inhabited island in the Maldives known for its fruit and vegetable gardens. The inn has a traditional Maldivian-style character — palm-leaf accents, a terrace, a two-person swing, and an outdoor fireplace. Rooms start from $83 per night, and free breakfast is included. The property is marketed as the closest accommodation to Thoddoo's private bikini beach, reachable on foot in around six to ten minutes. Staff arrange a full range of excursions including snorkelling, scuba diving, fishing, and dolphin trips.
