Our Opinion

Chaaya Island Dhonveli Hotel Maldives is the perfect destination for the discerning pleasure seeker. The warm waters of the azure sea are an ideal balm that lifts the spirits and calms the soul.  Whilst perfect waves make surfing an unforgettable experience, the clear waters allows you to sample the beauty of incredible underwater treasures.  Amongst these pearl-like islands is one that is whiter than the rest called ‘Dhonveli’ which means ‘white sand’ in Divehi, the local language.  Dhonveli is home to Chaaya Island Dhonveli, one of the world’s best resort hotels, boasting newly refurbished picturesque accommodation, soft pristine beaches, abundant vegetation, a seductive ocean and lagoon, and celebrated surf and dive sites.
