Find your paradise at The Castaway Resort.

Excellent quiet and peaceful location. Very clean with good room facilities - safe, kettle, ‘fridge, air conditioning and ceiling fan. Excellent shower (open air) with excellent housekeeping for towels etc. Shower gel and shampoo provided. Two bottles of drinking water provided daily. Good choice at breakfast - maybe a fruit /herbal teas option could be offered. Manager Razeen always at hand (either in person or by WhatsApp) to offer help and advice. He could not be more helpful and obliging. Met us at the port when we arrived and delivered us back there upon departure - roads on the island are sand so luggage cannot be wheeled.

We had a very nice stay here. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the food was fresh and tasty, and the staff were always kind and helpful. Special thanks to Razeen for his great mood, constant smile, and for showing us around the island. The welcome was warm, with fruit juice and a cold towel for refreshment. We especially loved the shower with a view of the sky.

4 nights at the Castaway Retreat👍🏼 We were picked up from the harbor by our host, Razeen, and went to the hotel. The courtyard is very clean and beautifully planted. Our room was big enough (for three people), and the bathroom was very nicely laid out, clean, and had an outdoor shower👍🏼 They offer a variety of excursions, all of which are affordable. Razeen and the entire team were very friendly and tried to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The island as a whole is very quiet, and the beaches are clean and well-maintained. Absolutely a place to find peace and relaxation. The transport to Dihgurah was well-organized and pleasant. There are shops where you can find everything you need. We had a great time and can recommend it. Many thanks to Razeen and his team.

Great place to unwind!

Great communication and organisation of the arrival by the staff. We received all the required information about the boat, found it easily in the airport and were met by the staff upon arrival on Feridhoo. The hotel is clean and cosy - great place to unwind and relax. The interior is neat and simple. There is an open air bathroom.

Great place on Feridhoo

The place is very nice, room was big enough and clean. The hotel may provide the fins for snorkeling as well as excursions. The breakfast was tasty. They packed the fruits for us as we were often going for diving right from the morning. Also our wishes were satisfied in terms of breakfast. I loved the island - going to return soon.

Cosy place

Clean and cosy place for stay. Good value for the money. Nice staff. The food is simple, there is a selection for breakfast, but not for dinner - although I had no problem with that. Feridhoo is amazing island if you like to snorkel go to the publich beach - much more fishes there.

It was a very good stay overall.

We loved the location, it was not far from the beach. The staff were exceptionally helpful and really catered to us. We arranged snorkeling and fishing trips through them. Despite the weather allowing us a small window to enjoy, it was organized well.

A real dream!!

Everything. The owner is a fantastic person: he helped us and made us feel at home, a really kind and good person. The meals were excellent and plentiful, they always tried to please us, especially my six year old son by buying chocolate cereals for him. The owner organized excursions and transfers from the airport to the island and back for us. He changed our money into local currency doing us a favor. When they canceled our return flight and we had to extend our stay by one night, he allowed us to stay an extra night without any problem. The room was clean and welcoming, it was cleaned and tidied up every day. The Maldivian bath was just amazing. We loved every aspect of our stay and will definitely return if we have the chance in the future. Thank you for the fantastic holiday, a real dream!!
