Noya Inn
A roomy base on one of the Maldives' most distinctive islands
A local-island guesthouse on Fuvahmulah
Noya Inn sits on Fuvahmulah, a single-island atoll roughly 498 km from Malé that draws travellers for its unusual geography and open-ocean diving. The inn runs one generously sized apartment — 84 m², sleeping up to five — with a private kitchen, balcony, and garden view. The property has a restaurant serving buffet dinners and breakfast, plus room service. A hot tub, fitness equipment, and massage round out the on-site facilities. Fuvahmulah's own reef, Neregando, is 0.57 km away, and a sunset viewpoint lies just 0.7 km from the door.
Who it's a good fit for
A practical, roomy apartment stay on a remote atoll where the island itself — not the accommodation — is the main attraction.

- Divers targeting Fuvahmulah's open-ocean species
- Budget-conscious travellers wanting self-catering space
- Anyone spending time on the island over several days
Less suited to

On-site dining
The restaurant runs a breakfast buffet (for an extra charge) and buffet dinners included with the stay. Continental, Asian, and breakfast-to-go formats are available. Room service covers guests who prefer to eat in.
