PERLA Dhangethi

We stayed for two weeks at Perla. We researched many local islands but chose Dhangethi and Perla due to the consistently excellent reviews - people, attitude, location, facilities etc. The advantage with Perla is it offered a pool so we could switch between the beach and the pool. There were many unexpected touches such as water and tea/coffee facilities in the room along with towels to use at the pool/beach. Breakfast was good and sufficiently varied each day. It included bread, butter, jam, cereal, tea, coffee, juice, eggs, beans, sausage along with local sweet bread/cakes and mas huni with roti. One day there were curried potatoes with mustard seeds – no idea what they were called but they were so good we ate most of them! For dinner, we tried a local café twice but decided the food at Perla was far nicer and better value for money so we ate there for the remainder of our trip. There is a laidback vibe at Perla and this complements their professionalism. Communication with the hotel was excellent both before we arrived and throughout our stay. Just ensure you locate the Information Helpdesk on arrival at Male airport so you can be taken to the boat (small blue/white booth located to the left as you exit the baggage area – near the Bank of Maldives booth). Perla staff would inform us on which trips they were offering and on which days. We opted for two trips – manta ray/whale shark snorkelling along with a fishing trip with BBQ. The snorkelling was excellent and we saw both – mainly down to the Perla guys getting us ahead of the action! The fishing trip resulted in our catch being turned into an unexpected romantic BBQ dinner for two on the beach! We would absolutely return to Perla and Dhangethi and I have recommended it to my sister and her partner who are now looking to visit!

I liked everything. Exceeded my expectations. clean comfortable and friendly. coming back for sure

Nothing

Posto meraviglioso, posizione ottima ma sopratutto staff insuperabile. Da fare tutte le gite proposte, indimenticabili!

Tout est parfait chez Perla Danghetti : le personnel est aux petits soins, l'accueil de tout le monde est juste incroyable, plusieurs excursions très sympathiques sont possibles. Nous avons adoré nager avec des tortues, fêter le nouvel an sur la plage avec les Maldiviens (excellent bbq)!! L'organisation entre la prise en charge à notre arrivée à l'aéroport et le retour était parfaite. L'île de Danghetti est la plus belle et la plus authentique de tous les atolls des maldives et le peuple qui y vit est d'un accueil inégalable. Allez-y les yeux fermés !!!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The stuff of the hotel was very friendly and always smiling. Everything was very clean and organized. The food was great. We loved the dining terrase and the pool. The island is not full of tourists and the local people are very friendly. We enjoyed the beach and the nature of the island.
