    The room was spacious and very well-equipped. We were guided by our host to all the island's nearby beaches and facilities. The breakfast and the restaurant within the residence was our favorite restaurant on the island. Try the Pan seered reef fish.

    Great and welcoming host. Tried to make the stay as pleasant as possible. The location is good. Food is nice. The bed was the best I stayed in in the Maldives. Since the island is so small, everything is basically nearby.

Includes 5 modern, spacious and elegantly appointed rooms positioned on 2 levels. Nestled within lush and verdant garden of indigenous greenery, MOONSHELL RESIDENCE becomes your home away from home.
We are a team of experience locals looking forward to make our guests feel comfortable and spend a tremendous holiday vacation with us.
This is a local island with a few local people living around. And the island is packed with white sandy beached and crystal clear water.
