Banyan Villa Maldives Dhangethi

Banyan Villa is a wonderful place to stay! I really enjoyed my time there and the very homey feel of the villa. The staff, especially Husnee, Ashraf and Habib are all so incredibly friendly, accomodating and I can't thank them enough for their hospitality. The villa was very clean, the food was wonderful, very healthy and so fresh. Thank you to all the staff at Banyan Villa for making our stay in Dhangethi so wonderful and memorable! We will definitely be back!

Spent a week here with a booking linked to South Ari Dive. Accommodation was good and the staff went above and beyond. If you want an experience other than a resort and want to see the real Maldives, this would be a good choice. Great value and the food was wonderful.

Great clean guest house located near the main jetty where we visited the baby reef sharks nightly. It was perfect for what our family of four needed. Through the guest house we were able to arrange a dive to snorkel with manta rays and with turtles and they even arranged for us to spend half a day on an abandoned island, which was so special. All at very reasonable prices and without being on a boat with tons of people. All the food was great with a mix of local flavours and western-type dishes, the kids finished their plates at every meal. The staff was very kind and helpful, we will miss them. This was a perfect stay that will forever stay in our hearts. Thank you for making our stay just perfect for us!

The hospitality and promptness of this villa were unmatched. I was greeted at the loading dock after a 1 hr 45 min boat ride for Male airport. On my 3 min walk to the villa, I was accompanied by the manager who provided me history and landmarks of the island all while the locals were enthusiastic about my arrival. The entrance was bright and located next to the 350 year old banyan tree. They were able to load my bags on a cart so I didn’t have to carry them. The garden and eating patio was beautiful with full flowers, clean sand, soft music and an inviting place to sit with other guests. I got settled in my room which was far better than expected. It was good quality and clean with two complimentary water bottles. The bed and pillows were very comfortable which were complimented by the AC. I had plenty of space, storage and outlets. The bathroom was lovely with good water pressure. I got the full meal package and it did not disappoint. The staff was always eager to serve us at each meal and maintained a comforting dining patio with incredible food- my favorite was the curry and tuna noodles. They learned my request and were able to provide without even asking after the first day or two! They also knew my favorite seat. I appreciated the accommodations they made for fellow vegetarians and our to-go lunch on the day I was out for an extended period of time. I felt very safe and had all of my needs met by staying at Banyan Villas.
