What a beautiful Stay and  Such an amazing package!
It's very uncommon to have hosts that care that much about you. The rooms are clean and everything you want to gets arranged for you.
Especially Haydar cares so much about you and tries to Do everything that you feel a 100% good.
When you arrive there it feels like Meeting friends.
But the best of all is the Private Whalesharktour!
Seeing and snorkeling with this beautiful Animal  was one of the best experiences in my life.

Very nice guesthouse with good food, friendly people and nice offers!

We stayed at the Whale Shark for two nights after completing our Liveaboard cruise and waiting for a flight back to Male. The inn is small and cozy with four rooms and a courtyard for dining. It’s a five minute walk to the guest beach and close to the local shops on the island. There isn't much to do on Maamigili so we went to Holiday Island for a beer on the beach and dinner (after 6:00 pm there’s no charge to transfer to the resort, $25 during the day). For the price, we were happy with the guest house. It gives you a true flavor of life in the Maldives away from the resorts. 

Great Casual Guest House

I have rarely felt so well taken care of that the Whale Shark Inn will always stick out in my mind forever. Hayder was amazing. He made us feet so welcome and made sure all our questions and needs were taken care of. He walked us to excursions and was there to get us. He picked up our delicious breakfast and even got some local spicy peppers because I mentioned I wanted to try them. Even with other guests at the Inn we felt such a personal touch. It was truly appreciated! Nafiz handled our arrangements off the island and other financials and explained every charge to make sure everything was correct. He also was able to get us a much better deal traveling to another atoll. This place knows how to do business! Thank you so much for our stay! Deserves 10 stars

Great Stay

We spent 9 nights with our family at Whale Shark Inn. Highly recommended and affordable for our family. We felt safe and comfortable. Everything clean and organised for us- so easy. Meals easy and all our needs accommodated. We did trips most days and saw 6 Whale Sharks first trip and 3 the second. Also saw turtles, dolphins and mantaray. Wonderful family adventure and very grateful - thank you.

Wonderful stay

We loved our time at whale shark inn! The staff were incredible and spent loads of time showing us around the island, the excursions were awesome and I’m everything they went up and beyond. The rooms were clean, nice and the aircon and wifi worked great. Cannot recommend more

Great place!

Our stay at Whaleshark Inn with Ahmed and Hayder was fantastic. The following are the reasons why:
They explained things really well
Nothing was a hassle
Excursions were fantastic
Meals were great
They were so welcoming, friendly and attentive and honest. 
I would recommend this place to stay to anyone.

Leeann Stewart

Loved the service, the food and the activities! Would highly recommend giving it ago! Maamagili feels safe and welcoming! I travelled with girls only and found the people incredible and generous!
Even organised for us to go experience thatching and traditional customs!!!!!

Worth It

We actually stayed at one of Whale Shark inn's competitors inns  - Chill Holidays Maldives - because our room was not available since other guests stayed longer than their reservation was for. But, Ahmed was awesome with making all the arrangements at an equally very nice inn. He met us at the airport, got us checked in, then proceeded to give us a 2 hour tour of his home island! And for our trouble for changing the reservations, he took us to his home for dinner! Dinner and his family were wonderful, and we felt honored to be invited and served at his home! This was a very special experience that we will treasure!

Ahmed was the best!

We were there as part of our honeymoon. We both love diving and snorkelling and we weren't disappointed. From picnics on a deserted island to chasing whale sharks and manta ray, the Inn was accommodating with everything that we wanted. Nafiz helped us with organising everything we wanted. He even took me to the doctor when I was unwell who was able to prescribe me with antibiotics for a chest infection. Heider took care of our rooms and made sure we had fresh towels everyday after our water activities and that we had plenty of water. He also made sure we were fed well but a word of warning, don't play chess with Heider unless you want to be beaten :P. 

We stayed there a week, it was very relaxed.. like a family atmosphere. There are only 4 rooms, and we became fast friends with another couple who we went on trips with us. Everything was amazing. The Maldives is truely spectacular and what a location to be so close to everything that's wonderful. From going on romantic picnics, to sunset fishing trips or a visit to the nearby resort for a few drinks, there was always something to do. On our trips we swam with a whale shark, swam with a group of 7 manta rays, saw pods of dolphins, reef sharks, nurse sharks, turtles, sting rays, turtles, octopus... you name it...  even a group of eagle ray which I'm told was a very lucky sighting.

Whale Shark Inn was an unforgettable experience and it will certainly stay in our hearts for a long time to come.

Unforgettable Trip

It was the first guest house experience in the Maldives we had and it was better than expected. The hosts were absolutely lovely, very helpful and made our stay enjoyable by organizing everything around our time frame, budget and bucket list things to do.
If you are traveling on a low budget but still want to see whale sharks in south ari atoll and are interested in local Maldivian culture, this is where you need to go. It’s a quarter or less of what you’d usually pay at overpriced resorts.

There are also several free time activity options for you to do, such as :

Take a 2 Minute ferry ride to nearby holiday island resort (25$ day use fee pp/ after 6 pm free) and have a drink, dinner, use their facilities , beach and watch the shark feeding every night at 9 pm

Do any of the excursion that resorts are offering for much cheaper rates, whale shark trips, dive trips, sandbank dinners, fishing , island hopping etc 

There is a bikini beach for everyone non Muslim to go to and lounge , sunbathe and ‘be in a bikini’.  5 Minute walk from guest house.

The guest house offers home delivery / food order service from their preferred restaurant that has a pretty big menu . Otherwise there are several local restaurants around . 

Supermarkets are available as well.

Walk around the Harbour in the late afternoon near the shipwrecks and you’ll see turtles, stingrays, nurse sharks and more within the lagoons.

Nafiz and Haider were lovely and thank you guys for your efforts.

Great experience and would definitely recommend to any Maldives lovers.

Great value for money paired with lovely local hospitality
