OK if you want to do snorkel tours from a boat but a 15 minute walk from main beaches. Humidity!!!!!

Very close to airport - 2 minute walk with luggage. Hot shower.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They kindly allowed us to stay after checkout since our flight was in the evening, which we really appreciated. Special thanks to Kat! She was always there and helped a lot. There is a diving company next to the reception, and they helped us organize diving activities easily. Gave us masks and fins for the whole our stay. Cute and cozy lobby where you can drink tea or coffee, read, or play board games. We saw turtles a couple of times at the bikini beach, which was a great surprise. Breakfast was limited but quite good compared to many other places we stayed at in the Maldives. You can always find eggs and toast, which was nice.

I’m very happy with my stay there.

It was very clean. The room was spacious. The staff helped us with booking of the domestic flight from Male to Dharavandhoo and afterwords with speedboat back. They were waiting for us at the Dharavandhoo airport and they helped us with our luggage. Everyone was very friendly and hospitable. It felt very warm to be greed like that after a long more than 24 hour journey to the island. Blue world accomodation is less than 5 min walk from the airport. The room had an airconditioning which is great in the weather conditions there. The room was cleaned regularly. Outside each room there are beautifull wooden chairs to relax on. Palms and shades everywhere. Very quiet and relaxing place. The bikes are nice and easy to use. The island is not that big and so from the accomodation access to everywhere is easy and fast. If you are diver - the place offers great diving excursions and hardwere to try out. My pre-arrival communication with the Blue World staff was excelent. Whatsapp communication was on time and they answered all my questions and queries.

Beautiful and quiet property. rooms are spacious and very well maintained. Although it seems tucked away in a corner of the island, everything is close by with two good restaurants on the island at walking distance. they provide free cycles to move around, which was fun. Kat was very helpful in booking boat ride back for us.

Best place to stay, especially if you are a diver or plan on snorkelling

Love staying here. Really clean, relaxing, beautiful property and the rooms are big, well decorated and so comfortable. The owners and staff are chatty and helpful and I just loved being here. They also have a dive and snorkeling centre and diving was amazing. They are really flexible with the diving and snorkeling so if a whale shark is in the bay anywhere they will take you there immediately and continue diving afterwards, same with the mantas. Great guides to dive with and the dive sites are amazing, so much fish life; plus you never know what you will see swimming above you or below you.

Absolute perfection

This property is perfection for all types of travellers. We had families, couples and solo travellers whilst I was there. The meeting area (outdoor lounge area) was a great place for everyone to meet, chat and get to know eachother. Having the dive centre attached was an added bonus as they offer 3 dives/snorkels a day (weather dependent) and will also come get you if something interesting happens in the bay like whale sharks or mantas arrive. They also come get you if the weather changes and you can now go back out after missing a morning boat trip because of weather. The rooms are big, bathrooms are big with warm water, fresh drinking water is provided in the main area for no extra charge along with tea and coffee. The beds are comfortable and the whole vibe of the place is relaxing within a big family. They provide free push bikes to use too. The staff are so lovely and helpful too. Could not find a bad thing to say about this place!

Fantastic guest house, exceptional staff

Blue World Dharavandhoo is a wonderful place to stay: The room with bathroom was huge (3 pax), the marine decoration is super cute, both in the rooms and common areas which are also super nice and allow interaction with other guests. We took half board: breakfast and dinner were yummy and varied every day! Bonus points for the free bikes to move around the island! But what makes this place an exceptional accommodation is the staff: We really appreciate how helpful was Kat (reception) even before our arrival and of course during the days there. The room boys and kitchen team were also wonderful, attentive and caring. Diving team were all great: Fasial, Bags, Api and the crew members did from our dives and snorkels an even more memorable trip! Thank you guys!

A place to remember. We will be back next year.

So close to the airport and a beach. Enclosed and nice communal area with drinks. Staff organised Hanifaru Bay trip and had magical experience with mantas and whale shark. Kat is so helpful and Faisal a great dive guide.

Perfect stay away from the resorts

The staff and room was faultless. We were made to feel very welcome and that whatever requests we had would be accomodated. Though we, shamefully arrived with a suspicious attitude (from experience of travelling in 90 countries), we never once felt as though we were being cheated. Thanks so much to a totally dependable Karthik and team. Blue World offers different exciting excursions but, unlike many other places, did not try the hard sell for us to go with them alone. Due to illness/exhaustion, we went on just one excursion with them - a snorkelling and diving trip - which was also a fabulous boat trip with an extremely kind and understanding team.

Authentic local island experience and an affordable comfortable stay

We were pleasantly surprised with the rooms. They were quite spacious , modern and comfortable. The staff at Blue World are very friendly and helpful. Our main contact was Karthik who was excellent in organising activities , flight and speedboat tickets and also talking us about the island. Madhin and Appi were great at taking us Fishing , snorkelling and Diving. Sherpa and the other staff during the breakfast and food service were also always smiling and helpful. Overall we totally enjoyed our stay as 3 families including senior citizens and young children.
