Property info

Hanifaru Transit Inn sits on Dharavandhoo island in Baa Atoll — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and home to Hanifaru Bay, one of the world's most spectacular manta ray and whale shark feeding grounds. If seeing mantas in the wild is on your bucket list, this is where you do it. We are the closest guesthouse to Hanifaru Bay on the island, making us the natural base for snorkelers, divers, and ocean lovers who want to make the most of every day in the water.
