Very new guest house. If you like diving or snoerkling excursion the location is perfect beacuse you can reach the diving center by walk in 1 min! I had breckfast every day at White Sand Inn, it was continental. Close by there is Shamar Guest House & dive with local or international food for lunch or dinner! They pick you up at the ferry station and they do organize the transfer by speedboat from-to Male. I definitely recommend it!

The guesthouse arranged our pick-up and drop-off to the transfer boat, which was very convenient. They can also assist with booking transfers to and from Malé, which is a helpful service. We especially enjoyed the outdoor terrace - it was a lovely space where we spent long evenings playing cards and peaceful mornings working. Having access to a water station and complimentary coffee throughout the day was a great touch. The staff were friendly and responsive throughout our stay. The guesthouse is located away from the main centre but right next to Bikini Beach, which was perfect for us as we preferred a quieter, more secluded setting. We also really appreciated the thoughtful touches and overall hospitality!

A couple of suggestions for improvement: it would be great to have a larger duvet that properly fits the double bed - we had a single-sized one, which felt a bit small. The mattress was also quite firm, so a more comfortable option would be appreciated. Adding some extra drawer space for clothes would help with organisation. Since we had access to the outdoor terrace, the office table in the room wasn’t essential. Lastly, while breakfast was pleasant with eggs, fruit, and bread, it could be improved with additional options such as sausages or a traditional Maldivian dish.

Umar runs a wonderful guesthouse in White Sands Inn. The rooms are clean, the AC cold, the showers hot, and an easy 1 minute walk to the beach. Rakib, the caretaker, is very helpful, cooking breakfast at times convenient for you, helping organise trips, cleaning your room, and generally making you feel both safe and welcomed. Our family did the whale shark trip twice as we didn't get to see them on the first day, but did on the second day, along with dolphins too. We also went to picnic island and got to see several more grey reef sharks and a cow tail sting ray. Umar was also very helpful in setting up speed boat transfers to and from Male/Maamigili. He was available on whatsapp before and during our stay with very timely responses. Make sure you reseach Maamigili first as it is a local island, focused on other industries with a basic tourist infrasture. Personally, our family really liked it and enjoyed the slow pace. We got to talk with many of the locals over the 5 days. Overall, if you are looking for an affordable and convenient way to fulfill your dreams of swimming with the biggest fish in the ocean, you can do it here at White Sands Inn.

I had an amazing 4-nights stay in White Sand Inn. A small, but very cute bikini beach is just 3 min away. The guesthouse itself is very clean, with comfortable bedding. The breakfast is simple, but very tasty, with fresh fruits, toasts and eggs. But the best thing is the guesthouse's owner and his staff. Both are very caring, with always big attention to clients. Despite being very busy with multiple businesses,  the owner helped me to organize the transfer, snorkeling tours, showed me the island, and on my last day even organized a fish BBQ for the whole guesthouse. I didn't have to worry about anything and could only enjoy my stay on the island! I would definitely return here!

The sink in the bathroom was leaking water, but it wasn't a big problem

We stayed at White Sand Inn for 3 nights. And would stayed there again for sure. Great price performance, frendly and welcoming team. They arranged the transfer to and back, they arranged whale shark trip(found whale sharks in no time + Mantas), after whaleshark seeing went snorkling on different reefs(included in price). (Through out all the trip they arranged all the transitions to different exit points) They have option to get bikes (out prefered way of exploring thing(for free)). The owner arranged picnic island trip, again for free(maybe exlusive ocasion, but still, it happened:)) Great breakfast. Clean rooms. They offer to wash and dry your cloathing, again free, which shows the hospitality that we receved. The bikini beach is 2min away. Scuba center(Shamar guest house) is next door. Our dive guide also stayed at white sand. (Shamar and white sand are owned by two brothers). All in all great experience, I would recommened it to anyone who is planning to go to Maamigili. 10/10.

Nice manager and Service give awesome experience and great breakfast. The room is clean and comfortable and the AC .shower is convenient. And well done. The activity we ordered has super surprised. Every time the landlord picks us up to go to the speedboat that’s very kind .Six days is so short for a nice invitation. So I think I will back in the future.

None

The accommodation was very clean and located just a few minutes from Bikini Beach. The surroundings were very calm. Rakib, the person who took care of us at the accommodation, and the owner were both very helpful and friendly. They helped arrange various interesting trips for us, as well as transfers to Maamigili and our next destination.

Mosquitoes - don't forget to bring mosquito repellent — although you can also buy it in local shops. Also, Bikini Beach could benefit from a bit of renewal.

It’s small and nice buildings .in the room have air conditioning and fan the room is clean Hasan is great reception he can answer your any questions and he’s nice he keep the property really clean and the owner of the hotel is a good man he managed our tips for manta and whale shark he’s trying his best but he still need experience anyway he made up by one dinner it’s nice for me he more like my big brother he’s very helpful even he’s chasing every penny so free dinner for guests it’s a big step 😂(the costumers in here is so cool they can play guitar and sing)

Cause it’s raining season mosquito is all over the island every island

I had an excellent stay at White Sand Inn with my family for one night. The experience was truly memorable, and my family thoroughly enjoyed their time. The hotel owner generously provided us with two complimentary vehicle trips, which was a delightful surprise. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel very welcome. I highly recommend White Sand Inn for anyone looking for a wonderful and hospitable stay.

Nothing

I liked both the hotel itself and its location. There was a beautiful beach nearby where you could swim and watch the sunrise. I took a hotel with breakfast included. It was prepared every morning) The manager also arranged for a transfer by speedboat to the island itself. It was very convenient: 2 hours on the road and I ended up on the island at the hotel!)
