“We really enjoyed our time with all of the very friendly staff. We felt so well looked after and cared for. Thank you S”
+We have absolutely loved our time at Bageechaa. From the moment we arrived, we could see how clean everything was and really cared for. The owner, Shihab has done a lot of travelling so each bedroom is fitted with such high quality and thought through furnishings. Everything is even better than the photos. I have included some up to date pictures. The food was incredible. The chef, Chamara is definitely the best on the island and produces 5 star plus food. Everything we had was delicious and we know our food! Shihab has even put in a Well so even the water in the bathrooms are pure and very clean.

+Place is new and modern, Staff is very friendly, there were 3 gentleman running the place, they were very helpful. We used bikes to go round the island.
−Soap in the bathroom is a must, we didn't have any, brought our own. Kettle in the room and cups/glasses are needed to make cup of tea. We asked for it. More frequent towels change. The place is next to an air strip. First plane arrives at 6am, we go used to it during the week stay but you will notice it. Having said that it's still good location and value for money, with nice staff.

“Fantastic SCUBA diving”
+Nice place, nice staff & good food. No complaints the building is new build and up to western standard and the staff was super friendly. Scuba diving is just beyond good, if you want to see Manta or Whale Sharks I can't imagine a better place - definitely the place to go, if you have +30 dives and are going for spectacular SCUBA diving.
−The construction is not fully finished and there was small unfinished parts of the building - not major things just finish.

“A Hidden Gem in Dharavandhoo - Bageecha Stay Exceeded All Expectations!”
+Having traveled extensively across the Maldives, I can confidently say that Bageecha Stay is the best guesthouse I have ever experienced. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this was more than just a place to stay,it felt like home, thanks to the incredible hospitality and warm atmosphere created by the host, Ismael, and his exceptional team. Ismael went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of my visit was perfect. His attention to detail, deep knowledge of the island, and genuine care for his guests made my stay unforgettable. Whether organizing activities or sharing insights about local life, his passion for hospitality truly shone through. Every meal was a masterpiece, combining fresh local ingredients with remarkable skill and creativity. From mouthwatering Maldivian delicacies to innovative international dishes, each bite was a treat. I can honestly say it was some of the best food I’ve had in the Maldives, and I looked forward to every meal during my stay. The guesthouse itself was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, offering a perfect balance of modern amenities and local charm.

“Spotless rooms, personalized service, delicious food - the perfect place for a memorable getaway!”
+I had the most incredible birthday at Bageecha Stay! The rooms were absolutely spotless, with a lovely fresh scent and everything feeling brand new. The service was top-notch - personalized and thoughtful at every turn. The food? Delicious and beautifully presented! One of the best parts is the ability to choose between local Maldivian dishes or European cuisine, ensuring there’s something for everyone. The island is the perfect size for exploring, with clean beaches and stunning ocean views. The view from my room was breathtaking, with the ocean stretching out right before my eyes. The highlight of my stay was taking a boat trip to a deserted island, which turned out to be the most unforgettable experience. It was peaceful, beautiful, and truly magical - a once-in-a-lifetime moment! For those who love to explore, the resort offers bicycles that you can take and ride around the island. It’s a fun and relaxing way to see every corner of this beautiful place. Everything at Bageecha Stay is designed with attention to detail. The rooms were cleaned regularly, ensuring everything stayed fresh and pristine. They even have special branded beach towels, which was a lovely touch and added t

“Bageechaa Stay is amazing”
+Moderní, krásný, čistý hotel. Z pokoje je krásný výhled na moře, dokonce jsme viděli i delfíny. 🥰 Přistávací dráhu za hotelem jsme brali jako skvělou atrakci a s oblibou jsme pozorovali přistávání a vzlétání. Ovšem nejlepší na celém pobytu jsou kluci ze Srí Lanky, kteří jsou velmi přátelští, nápomocní a ochotní. 🤩 Kuchař pro nás každý den vymýšlel speciální jídlo z místních potravin, ale i ze zahrady. Z každého jídla jsme si odnesli úplně nový zážitek. 😋 Nutno podotknout, že si poradil i s mojí bezlepkovou a bezmléčnou dietou, nic nebyl problém. Toto místo jsme si zamilovali. Dekujeme 🩷 _____________ A modern, beautiful, clean hotel. The room has a beautiful view of the sea, we even saw dolphins. 🥰 We considered the runway behind the hotel a great attraction and enjoyed watching the planes land and take off. But the best thing about the whole stay was the Sri Lankan staff, who were very friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. 🤩 Every day, the chef prepared a special meal for us using local ingredients, including produce from the garden. Each meal was a completely new experience. 😋 It should be noted that he was also able to accommodate my gluten-free and dairy-free diet without

“Soggiorno indimenticabile”
+Soggiorno stupendo al bacheegaa "giardino". Lo staff, composto da 3 ragazzi, è davvero gentile e premuroso. Avevamo la formula "all inclusive" e lo chef ci ha sempre preparato deliziosi piatti differenti per tutta la settimana. Davvero bravissimi. Il proprietario è molto attento e disponibile: oltre ad avere gestito la prenotazione degli aerei, è riuscito a cambiarci un volo all'ultimo minuto dopo averlo perso causa ritardi nei collegamenti. Ci ha inoltre accolto all'aeroporto così come alla partenza. Le camere sono davvero pulite e confortevoli, bagni ampi e rilassanti. Sono disponibili per gli ospiti delle bici con cui poter girare comodamente nell'isola. Consigliamo vivamente il soggiorno.
−Unica nota può essere la vicinanza all'aeroporto, ma sono solo 3 voli al giorno. A noi non ha causato nessun fastidio.

“Merveilleux !”
+La propreté, qualité et espace dans la chambre. Nous avions une chambre très spacieuse avec une magnifique terrasse. L’hôtel est magnifique, très cosy, le personnel aux petits soins et la cuisine très gourmande. Certainement le plus bel hôtel de l’île ! On y retournera avec plaisir.
