     Biyadhoo is a very simple unspoilt resort which has a superb 'chilled' atmosphere where the emphasis is having a bare foot, no news- no shoes Maldivian experience that is free from all the trappings of modern day life that some of the more expensive islands have.

There are also many top quality dive sites nearby to Biyadhoo Island and of course on the house reef itself - Night dives here are spectacular plus being near to the outer edge of the Atoll has great big fish spotting opportunities. The snorkelling on the house reef is amongst the best in the Maldives

The rooms at Biyadhoo are simple and it's true the bathrooms are a tad dated in design but this is reflected in the much lower prices for this island compared to others. The rooms are kept very clean and are freshened twice daily by the room boys. The main attraction here is outside!

All the rooms are just steps from the waterfront, Biyadhoo Island has a superb wide beach on the West side (the house reef is very close on the East side) and a beautiful lagoon that encircles the island. The bar is a rustic outdoor affair under thatched pergolas set under the trees.
