Very relaxing and enjoyable stay at Kanborani!
The Maldives can be a tricky country to visit. For many the country evokes images of super expensive resorts on beautiful isolated atolls with no locals (and very expensive booze). However, for those who want to visit the country and not pay thousands of dollars for a week's stay, there is an alternative. Guesthouses are great as you get a lot of attention from the staff and you can interact with Maldivians in local villages. The Kanborani is an excellent choice if this is what you want. The staff really cannot do enough for you and the guesthouse is situated on an atoll close enough to Male for a quick trip to and from the airport. The guesthouse is very comfortable, clean, quiet, with nice balconies overlooking the water and a nearby resort, and an ever changing menu for breakfast that was prepared fresh and delicious every morning. There are also nice restaurants nearby for dinner and local markets for anything you might want to get for snacks. I really recommend this place for anyone who does not want to spend a fortune, but just wants to relax on nice beaches, explore a local Maldivian village, and have the opportunity to explore by boat the local reefs and fishing areas. Definitely a great stay with a great owner and manager who cheerfully met my every request!
