Beachside Dining Delight

Dining at Mala Boutique Inn was a highlight of my stay! Each meal was served right on the beach, allowing us to enjoy delicious food while taking in amazing views. The variety was impressive - fresh fish, pasta, and other local dishes with each meal being unique. One afternoon, we enjoyed lunch while watching baby sharks swim by. It was such a nice experience!

Lovely Diving Experience

The diving experience at Mala Boutique Inn was absolutely very nice. I went on multiple excursions and saw everything from whale sharks to manta rays. Our dive instructor was great, capturing all the moments on camera for us to cherish. The night diving trip was particularly special; I can't recommend it enough!

Comfortable Accommodations

I was pleasantly surprised by the room accommodations at Mala Boutique Inn. The room was spacious, clean, and had all the essential amenities, including a comfortable bed and a lovely outdoor area. It was just a short walk to the beach and had a charming garden view. What more could you ask for during a tropical getaway?

Relaxing Island Atmosphere

The overall atmosphere at Mala Boutique Inn was incredibly relaxing. The beach was pristine, and there was a designated bikini beach just a short stroll away. It was the perfect place for a quiet day under the sun, or to unwind after a day of diving and snorkeling. I loved every moment spent lounging by the sea!

This boutique hotel offers a truly intimate experience, perfect for those wanting to escape large, crowded resorts. The staff genuinely cares, making everyone feel welcomed and at home. The beachside dining and the clear waters make for an amazing experience. However, do keep in mind that the food, while flavorful, is simple, and the location might be a bit challenging to reach from the main airport.

I had an incredible time at Mala Boutique Inn! From the seamless booking process to the mesmerizing diving experiences, everything was just perfect. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the dining right by the beach was a delightful touch.

I had a wonderful time at Mala Boutique Inn on Dhangethi Island. The sunset views were stunning, and the island itself is perfect for a relaxing walk. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I truly appreciated the warm service from the staff. However, being a local island, the dining options could use a bit of variety, especially for breakfast.

We had an unforgettable stay at Mala Boutique Inn! The atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed, and the dedication of the staff really made us feel at home. The diving experience was out of this world, with plenty of encounters with marine life. However, it’s good to note that this isn’t a luxury resort—it's a cozy hotel where you can truly soak in the local culture. Overall, it offers tremendous value for the price.

We had an unforgettable honeymoon at this charming boutique hotel. The hospitality was top-notch, and Hassan was a fantastic host, always quick to respond and make our stay as comfortable as possible. The location on a small island made it feel like our own little paradise, with beautiful beaches and wonderful activities. However, if you're looking for a lavish resort experience, you might want to look elsewhere.
