We stayed for 4 days 4 nights at Violet Inn. Arrived via 40 minute domestic flight. Was only sunny on our first day and rained on our entire stay but the rain did not discourage us. The hotel itself can do with a number of refurbishment / maintenance work but we did not mind. There is coffee making facilities, filtered water, and washing machine to wash dirty clothes. Though the sun would have provided better lighting to our photos but the experience of having to swim with the mantas is just surreal. Also enjoyed that we were the only guests in the inn so we had the whole place to ourselves. We were fullboard so we had breakfast, lunch and dinner included in our package. The food was served in the nearby restaurant which was about 200m walk. I loved Maldivian food! There is also a nearby Bikini Beach. We had the boat to ourselves on our first 2 days and shared with guests from other hotel on our last day and my oh my. I could just snorkel with the mantas ALL DAY in fact, I enjoyed it so much, I would like to go back to just swim with the mantas again! Afoo from Violet Inn has been very helpful along with Husento who was our tour guide to Hanifaru.
