Dhaandhoo sounds and looks lovely, especially those pink doors. I hope to get to the Maldives one day.

It’s funny how even one of the bigger and more populated islands is so small. Ellie and I greatly enjoyed our short 6-day/5-night stay. Can’t even remember what our island was called, I think something like Holiday Island or Sunshine Island, it was definitely among the smaller ones as it had no permanent residents. There were only a few bungalows. The hotel, the reception, and all the other main buildings were on an island one minute away by boat. 🙂

Thanks for reading, Marvin! Tropical vibes are my favorite. And even though I do enjoy a good resort, unknown places off the beaten path are my preference! 🙂

And learning about the local island of Dhaandhoo clearly didn’t disappoint. What a fascinating place and who would’ve thought it ranks amongst the most populous islands of the Maldives. Will save this and your other detailed post on the Maldives for future reference. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Angie! I heard that locals were offering guest houses on local islands too. I think it’s a great idea for them! there’s definitely a market for that, as well!

I have heard that many locals are now opening up their own homes for travellers that want a real taste of “beach life” at a fraction of the price. I am not sure whether I am ready for that yet but I think it’s a great idea for more intrepid travellers and ones on a budget.
