Mala Boutique Inn Maldives

Mala Boutique Dhangethi is an intimate beachfront guesthouse on Dhangethi Island, South Ari Atoll. 

Ari Atoll gives you chance to dive with mantas, whale sharks and many more tropical reef fish. Explore coral shallows or visit the channels for more challenging drift dives.

The inn is comprised of a double-story whitewashed building on the beach. Spend your time enjoying breakfast on the white sand beach, go island hopping, snorkelling with turtles, mantas and whale sharks or night fishing with a BBQ.

The restaurant is managed by one of the best pastry chefs in the Maldives and it is possible to visit a wide selection of nearby luxurious resorts using Mala's complimentary speedboat.

Staff members have experience working in high-end Maldivian resorts, allowing you to receive first class service at a fraction of the cost.
