Our guest house is a recently renovated local house with seven rooms. What's so special about us is that our guests can get a real local experience while staying at our guest house and personalized service from our excellent team members! We have an excellent service team to ensure that our guest get a five-star service.
I am still new to the industry, but my colleague Sadath has been working in the tourism sector for over 15 years. My utmost priority is to make our guests happy and I myself try my best to give an excellent service to the guests. I enjoy running this business and my reward is the positive words from our guests. That's what makes me happy!
Biosphere Inn is located in Baa Atoll Dharavandho island. Situated in the breathtakingly beautiful Baa Atoll, Dharavandhoo is right next to the globally renowned Hanifaru Bay. The atoll has been declared a biosphere reserve due to the high level of biodiversity found in the waters in the area and Hanifaru Bay is world-famous among divers for the mantas and whale shark that gather in vast numbers to feed in the plankton-rich waters. The island is surrounded by beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters, so it’s no surprise that the island’s economy is mostly based on tourism related activities. Dharavandhoo Airport, one of the six domestic airports in the Maldives, is also located on this island.
