“The best accommodation to meet manta rays.”
I booked this guesthouse to see manta rays. I was able to swim with many mantas — it was a wonderful, happy experience. They kindly answered all my detailed questions before booking, which put me at ease for traveling alone. They also handled my domestic flight booking and arranged transfers to the airport. There was a small problem on the day, but the manager, Mubeen, responded appropriately and it was resolved quickly. The captain provided excellent, attentive support on the manta and sandbank tours, making them truly enjoyable. I’m really grateful to Mubeen, the captain, Wilson, and the Violet Inn team who took me to Hanifaru Bay every day for giving me an amazing Maldives trip. Thank you very much.

“The best accommodation in Dharavandhoo.”
The staff were very kind. We came to see the manta rays swirling around while snorkeling, and Violet Inn arranged tours and scuba diving for us, so they took great care of us. The food was delicious, the room was clean, and the location was excellent — it was the perfect place to stay.

“Fun Stay”
We loved our stay here, and our hosts were amazing - they also helped us with a dive and we were lucky enough to see hundreds of manta rays and dive with whale sharks - incredible experience, great value and amazing staff.

“Excellent and cosy small guesthouse”
Excellent experience! Everything was amazing: caring and friendly staff, snorkeling experience, hearty breakfast every morning, complimentary milk tea and coffee, nearby bikini beach, rooms completely silent and clean, modern furnishing. Nothing to complain. DFC nearby restaurant is open for lunch for tourists during Ramadan,

“Lovely staff, great food and perfect location”
We had an excellent stay at Violet Inn. The location was just perfect for us, being only a few minutes walk to both the bikini beach (which was beautiful and perfect for snorkelling right from the bay) and the harbour (where you can see sting rays and nurse sharks right from the edge, by the fish market each evening). Our room was lovely and clean, with functioning air conditioning and a very large bed! The true highlight of our stay was the service we received from the staff. We want to particularly mention Babu and Wilson, who were so kind and accommodating to our needs from the moment we arrived. The food Babu cooked us throughout our stay was tasty and the portions were very generous! Thank you so much for everything, we will surely be back to Violet Inn on our next visit to Dharavandhoo
