Resort Description

Isle Royal Inn is a Maldivian guesthouse just an eight minute stroll from the beautiful harbour and dive center, known for its epic exploratory dive trips

As one of the Maldives’ least explored atolls, Fuvahmulah is the place to go for unchartered adventures. Its remote position, deep waters and exposure to swell have created a magical landscape both above and below the waves. Encounters with tiger sharks are 100% guaranteed year-round, and thresher sharks can be observed moving into the shallows of the cleaning stations in the dim light of early morning or dusk. In short, it's a pelagic paradise.

The comfortable guesthouses all have a king-sized bed, ensuite bathroom, a terrace and air conditioning. The restaurant serves up the freshest seafood from local fisherman, as well as pizzas, curries, smoothies and coffees. Between dives discover old Buddhist ruins and ancient mosques, have a picnic on Thoondu beach with its shiny gem-like white pebbles, or snorkel along the drop off at the edge of the reef. The waves here are perfect for surfing too, and the resort runs excursions to see dolphins playing in the wild.
