Villa Stella

Southern Atolls


One of the very first guesthouses in Maldives, Villa Stella is a great place to enjoy life on an inhabited island and to explore local culture. Even though the guesthouse is used to catering to Italians, English is spoken, and the welcome is warm. Meals of fresh fish are excellent and there's also a small bikini beach on Ribudhoo.

The six rooms here are divided between two houses and all have private bathrooms and share a living room with satellite TV and a communal kitchen. The staff members keep all visitors busy with daily excursions to a nearby uninhabited island where there’s a superb beach. Snorkelling and fishing trips are also arranged. The island is a relaxed and friendly place.
