A place to stay on Thoddoo
Thoddoo Beach Holiday Inn is an inn on Thoddoo island, roughly 69 km from Malé and reached by seaplane. The island is one of the Maldives' few inhabited atolls known for agriculture alongside its reef, which gives it a different character from a purpose-built resort island. Rooms start from $62.70 per night. The property has a restaurant, a garden, outdoor dining and barbecue facilities, a shared kitchen, and free on-site parking — a practical setup for travellers who want independent access to the island.
Who it's a good fit for
A straightforward inn on a local Maldivian island, with a restaurant, garden, and organised water-sport activities — closer to everyday island life than a resort experience.
Best for
- Budget-conscious travellers
- Couples or small groups wanting local island character
- Cyclists and water-sport enthusiasts
- Families with children
Less suited to

Garden, patio, and outdoor dining

Room design and views

Restaurant and kitchen access
An on-site restaurant covers a broad range of dietary requirements — continental, full English, vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, Asian, and American options are all available. A shared kitchen with kitchenware, refrigerator, and washing machine gives self-caterers extra flexibility. The property's own Thoddoo Beach Holiday Inn Restaurant is on site.
