Hondaafushi Island Resort
All-inclusive private island resort with detached beach bungalows and house reef
About this stay
Arriving at Hondaafushi Island Resort involves a domestic flight to Haa Dhaalu Atoll, followed by a short transfer to the island. Once there, guests discover a lush, green private island where all bungalows are detached and face the beach, ensuring privacy. Each bungalow provides a terrace, day beds, and a private outdoor shower, along with a mini-bar as part of the all-inclusive package.
The resort's house reef is easily accessible for snorkeling, while the diving center, in partnership with Werner Lau and Divderland, offers professional courses. Dining is a relaxed affair at the main restaurant, serving international buffet meals. The Thila bar, located by the swimming pool, is the spot for a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, creating a laid-back atmosphere for families and couples alike.

Our take
Hondaafushi suits travellers who value quiet reefs and an all-inclusive rate over polish. Detached beach bungalows with outdoor showers, a house reef, a dive centre, a spa and a poolside bar sit on a private island in Haa Dhaalu Atoll, well away from the central-atoll crowds. Access is by domestic flight plus a boat, and the 7.8 score from 60 reviews points to dated rooms and limited dining.
- ✓Explore the house reef early in the morning for the best snorkeling conditions and marine life sightings.
- ✓Take advantage of the all-inclusive package by trying different cocktails at the Thila bar by the pool.
- ✓Consider booking a diving course with the on-site center if you're keen to explore the underwater world.

Why guests love itHondaafushi is a low-key, all-inclusive option for families heading to the far north. Detached beach bungalows put the sand at the door and give some separation from neighbours, while the international buffet takes the guesswork out of feeding children. The house reef and dive centre cover snorkelling and first dives. Facilities are simpler than at five-star islands, and the 7.8 score suggests managing expectations on finishes and food variety.
