Aveyla Manta Village

I stayed at this hotel! This is the best hotel on this island and the price is very good, stunning view from the room to the ocean, 1st line, very friendly staff, the room is clean, soft towels, the bed is just amazing! Now the wine is good, soft mattress. Quiet! Amazingly suitable for a romantic holiday. Good excursion program, food in the restaurant is 5

Aveyla Accommodation & Liquid Salt Divers – A Memorable Stay and Dive Experience My stay at Aveyla Accommodation was fantastic. The room was very comfortable and well-maintained, providing a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The guesthouse has a peaceful atmosphere, making it easy to unwind and take in the beauty of the island. Diving with Liquid Salt Divers was the highlight of my trip. The team is professional and knowledgeable, ensuring safe and exciting dives at breathtaking locations. The underwater life is amazing, and both seasoned divers and beginners will find something to love. I enjoyed my experience so much that I hope to return not just as a guest, but as a friend. The warmth and professionalism left a lasting impression, and I truly hope to stay in touch. If you’re looking for a comfortable stay and an unforgettable diving experience, I highly recommend Aveyla and Liquid Salt Divers.

Another great visit to Aveyla Manta Village. On a local island so no alcohol, but who needs that with the amazing diving and snorkling Its got all the feel of a boutique hotel, great rooms, great food and its right on the beach and only half a mile from Hanifaru Bay A world unesco heritage site with hundreds of mantas in season. No mantas this trip, but the dive sites are like swimming in an aquarium, so many fish, corals, and other wildlife. A pod of spinner dolphins followed our boat today Great experience

The snorkel and dive tour guides had such a keen eye and didn't miss a thing to help us explore the hidden treasures and creatures on the reef. The food was wonderful and the accommodation was very comfortable with a fantastic house reef out the front. The waiter was especially wonderful. It's a very chilled and luxurious place to explore and stay.

I stayed at Aveyla with my wider family and two young children in August 2023 and had an unforgettable experience. The staff were superb - nothing was too hard to sort - whether it be finding fins for my 5 year old or sourcing a coconut for us to eat on the beach. The accommodation is practical and there are lovely communal areas so if you have come as a couple or alone it is an easy place to make new buddies. The food was lovely local cuisine with a twist of Western dishes. There is a relaxing beach (when my children were not there) for people to sunbathe and a breakwater for you to snorkel around (great for beginners!) where there is an array of fish and one day we spotted a turtle. Swings hanging from the palm trees and beautiful sunsets - just make sure you bring the bug spray! The local town of Dharavandhoo is lovely and the locals are very friendly (just bare in mind to dress conservatively). There is a harbour where at night you can spot sharks. The Liquid Salt dives were fantastically organised and safety was always paramount (both for the divers and the marine life). There is a strict code and real sense of appreciating the marine life and respecting it which I really liked. I was able to snorkel with my 5 year old where we had our own dive 'master' escort him with a safety ring so he got to observe the mantas safely. There was time for fun after snorkels and dives with a great feeling of community amongst strangers on the boat - jumping in and enjoying a hot tea with some fresh coconut. As for the diving - it was truly magical. We saw mantas, turtles, sharks, endless fish and when we were on board the boat we had dolphins on a few occasions swim along side the boat. During the week we were there I also got to snorkel with a whale shark (twice) - again I was really impressed with how the Liquid Salt dive team managed tourists and had a zero tolerance policy when it came to respecting the whale sharks and mantas (even including the type of camera and lens used). We are already planning our trip for August 2024 :-)

Amazing experience. a beautiful hotel on the beach. The hotel is very nice, and well located. the human team is exceptionally friendly and you feel at home. If you are in the Maldives and want a close, real and unforgettable experience, it is the place.
