A guesthouse in Baa Atoll
Odi Kamadhoo is a guesthouse on a local island in the Maldives, sitting about 129 km from the main airport and reached by domestic flight and speedboat. Rooms start at $48 per night, making it one of the more accessible ways to get onto a real reef without paying resort prices. The property has a restaurant, spa, and a kids' club, plus water sport facilities and windsurfing on site. The house reef is the main draw for snorkellers and divers. It holds a 4.9 Google rating across 14 reviews.
The honest verdict

- Families wanting a kids' club
- Travellers avoiding resort pricing
- Couples happy with a simple setup
Maybe not ideal for
- Guests wanting overwater villas
- Those expecting resort-scale amenities

Getting there
Getting to ODI KAMADHOO on the island in Baa Atoll means covering about 129 km from Malé (MLE) by seaplane — a scenic flight of roughly 40 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.
