Everything was perfect, the staff were so lovely, the free welcome dinner was delicious and a lovely touch. You get so much for the price. Would return again!

Amazing guesthouse to stay in! We stayed for a week and can only say positive things about the staff, comfort and location. Daily room cleaning + water refill was a nice touch. WiFi was fast. Nicest beach on the island just 1 min walking distance. The restaurant area has board games + ping-pong. Highly recommend staying here and will come back in the future!

Everything is perfect. Just a kind suggestion if there is a way to keep the breakfast / items hot. But still that was bearable. Everything is amazing . Dhiffushi has won my ❤️.

It’s was clean and comfortable with wonderful surroundings. Hotel staff came at the jetty to receive and take me via baggy 🚗. The staff was so nice and polite. Mr Amir the local guy was so kind and helpful. Local people of the island are so nice and friendly. My checkout time was 10 am but my flight was at night. I decided to take last boat that leaves from Dhiffushi at 5:45pm. So they did a kind favour by letting me stay till later afternoon. And I stay till the time boat leaves the island to the airport. All the other hotels on this island 🏝️ are great as well. They are welcoming. And they treat you as if you are staying at their hotel even though you just visit for video and photos. Most amazing thing about Dhiffushi island is that it has only few tourists, and some local people. You will feel amazing on this island . Views are unbelievable. Small and beautiful island is worth staying atleast 3 to 4 nights.

We stayed at Nirili Villa for a few days and it was incredible. 💛 The staff were always kind, helpful, and one step ahead, which made a huge difference. They picked us up at the airport and were very attentive, always checking with us about our speedboat transfers for arrival and departure. The food was excellent – we ate at their restaurant every day. The fried rice was delicious, and the Tandoori Chicken Submarine was outstanding. They also had many thoughtful touches, like giving us water and fruit with every meal for free. Our room felt very new and was cleaned several times during our stay. They also provide beach towels you can change anytime. No complaints at all. Many thanks to the whole team, especially Luber and Ameer, and to Husam (the owner), who gave us a very warm welcome. thanks a lot!

Great stay here, clean spacious and cosy room that was cleaned everyday with water refills. Did the full package tour with Nirili Villa and was definitely worth the money, great overall experience would highly recommend. Lovely owners and staff, family run business so makes you feel at home, and a free welcome dinner and local Maldivian dinner too! Thanks for having us :)

We were happy with everything.

We were a bit skeptical about all the positive reviews, but Nirili Villa and the team won us over from the start. It's a guesthouse with excellent value for money. The rooms were large with modern showers, plenty of drying facilities, free fresh water every day, and air conditioning. There were even suitable power plugs and regularly replaced towels (including for the beach). You are taken to/picked up from the harbor. Breakfast was small but sufficient. Free coffee/cappuccino is available all day. We were invited to dinner on the first evening, and there was also a free Maldivian dinner on Thursday evening. Overall, the dinner was good and very reasonably priced. The excursions offered are also very reasonably priced. We booked snorkeling with turtles and seeing dolphins. Both were great experiences. The team, especially Amir, are friendly and open and happy to help. Dhiffushi is a beautiful local island. The bikini beach in the north of the island is particularly recommended. At the other bikini beach, you can spot stingrays every evening. The island is a quick 45-minute speedboat ride from Malé. We would come back!

Nothing, it was a perfect stay

We truly loved it all. Especially people, the whole team at Nirili Villa made our stay unforgetable. Thank you very much again Luuba, Amir, and all others. We felt welcome and cared about with love. There were 5 of us, 71 year old mum, my sister, me and two my boys, teenagers. We all did the whole package of trips and it was great, amazing, wonderfull, breathtaking.. - all the colors, creatures :). The crew is amazing, thank you so much guys once more. Eventhough it was off-season, the wheather was perfect, during our 11 days stay it rained only once. The rooms are very clean and maintained every day, towels and bed linen is changed on request. There is hot water and AC. We did not have any major problem with mosquitoes either in the rooms or on the island. Just a very few bites during the whole stay. I mention it because we were warned before that it can really be a big problem. Drinking water is provided for free and also very good coffee at bar/reception all day long. And there is excelent food :) for very good prices, nothing to compare to other places on the island. The prices of all the services in this hotel were exceptional. Wonderfull bikini beach is just few meters away. You can rent an umbrella for 10 usd/eur per day and sunbed for the same price. There is very nice bakery and icecream on the insland and also some groceries. I have to say that we felt very safe on the whole island. Non negative experience just the opposite. We could pay everywhere in local currency, USD or EUR in cash or by CC. It is better to bring cash, because every CC payment is charged with 3,5% fee. Really we only met with the intension of do the best for clients so they can enjoy their stay to the most. You could see on each of the stuff that they were honestly happy to see that the clients are happy. I can not recommend this place more, they won our hearts, can not thank you enough. God bless you all, best greetings from Slovakia

I had a wonderful stay at Nirili Villa! The staff were all incredibly lovely and I’d especially like to mention Luber she was exceptionally helpful, kind, and sweet throughout my visit. Her warm hospitality truly made a difference. The Wi-Fi connection was superb; I didn’t experience any issues at all, which made my stay even more comfortable. The food was also good, with a nice variety and satisfying taste. Overall a great experience I’d definitely recommend Nirili Villa to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming place to stay.

ARRIVAL. Staying at Nirili Vila was a wonder experience. We were greeted at the harbour and taken by an electric buggy to the hotel. The host has met us at the hotel with a free drink and dinner. LOCATION. The hotel is very well situated, almost on the beach - only 100 meters (1 min) to the bikini beach to the right of the hotel or 100 meters to the local beach to the left of the hotel.  While snorkeling in both beaches we have seen many different reef fishes, baby sharks, mantas ant other underwater fauna. Several local groceries are nearby. RESTAURANT. The food in the restaurant was delicious. Given we are travelling with two small kids, I was afraid how they will tolerate local food. My concern was unnecessary as no one in the family have had any problems with stomach during the stay. Maldivian dinner on Thursday was an additional  bonus to our stay. We as parents really appreciated available board games, table tennis and darts in the restaurant area to keep kids busy while waiting for the food to be prepared. ROOM. The infrastructure of the hotel is very thoughtful - 1) convenient shower in the yard to wash sea salt and sand from clothing and body 2) good isolation of the room. I couldn't hear any noise from neighbors 3) A/C in the room 4) black out curtains 5) convenient shower area in the room with Aloe vera shampoo and body wash 6) daily cleaning of the apartment 7) free drinking water served each day 8) outside hangers to dry swimming attire 9) free laundry services 10) tea and coffee packs with kettle in the room. EXCURSIONS. We have purchased a full pack of excursions from Nirili Vila - snorkeling with sharks, stingrays, turtles, Coral Garden, watching dolphins, Sandbank trip. After the night fishing trip we have been served with a grilled fish we've caught for a dinner. Every trip was unforgettable experience for us, organized professionally and with love. EXTRA SERVICES.

Incredible service at an affordable price. And the food was the best we had on the island. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Stayed in April 2025

The excursions to coral garden was too short (just 1-1.5 hours for snorkeling), and even the price was the best in the island, it was too much for our standards

Nirili Villa went beyond expectations, providing free drinking water, free coffee/cappuccino (whenever you like), and a very good buffet breakfast. Furthermore you have a welcome dinner and a typical maldivian dinner free (on thursday), which make, considering the price we paid, probably the best accommodation in the island in terms of ratio price/quality
