A beachfront guesthouse with a house reef, 80 km from Malé
A local-island guesthouse on Felidhoo
Masfalhi View Inn is a three-star guesthouse on the island of Masfalhi in Felidhoo Atoll, about 80 km from Malé. Rooms start at $93 per night.

Getting there
Masfalhi View Inn is in Felidhoo Atoll, roughly 80 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. The transfer is by seaplane or domestic flight. Felidhoo is further from Malé than many popular resort atolls, so factor in transfer time and cost when planning your trip.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
