At the end of our 2 week holiday we were offered the chance to spend a night on Dhonveli. As we are frequent travellers to the Maldives this was a good opportunity to try another island without actually booking a holiday there. The impressions below are then based on a limited experience but we have visited the Maldives 7 times... More

We stayed in one of the over water suites and i can definitley recommend these. The deck had the sun from 9.30am to... More

We travelled on 22nd Jan 2012 for a two week holiday, as this was out 3rd time in the maldives we already had a good idea of what to expect. This island is only 25mins from Male airport via a rather bumpy speedboat ride. We stayed in a beach bungalow number 218, if you have booked one of these then... More

Anyhow the Airport Island is separated by the ocean from the Capital,and our Resort Island is 25 minutes by speed boat from the Airport.The... More

My Fiancee and I stayed here for 2 weeks in January 2012 and had a great time. The speedboat ride from Male was quick and comfortable, so quick in fact that we never quite got that feeling of being on a remote island in the middle of nowhere. On arrival at the resort we were warmly welcomed with cold towels... More

The resort is not a 5*, if it were then the cost would be a lot more than it was, but the service received from the staff, from the cleaners to the bar staff to the waiters to the reception was out of this world. From the moment we walked off the boat we were greeted with a smile, an... More

Just came back from a beautiful vacation. Chaaya Island Dhonveli is a good choice. So let's start from the begining: 1. Transfer: the resort has its own transfer boat which will expect you at the airport when you arrive, and you'll have a nice ride to the hotel. 2. Check-in: at 08:00 am, very smooth and quick, no issues. 3.... More
