Evila Inn Thoddoo
A local inn on Thoddoo, where the atoll does the work.
A local-island guesthouse on Thoddoo
Evila Inn sits on Thoddoo, an island in the Maldives known for its fruit farms and accessible reef. The inn runs a restaurant, has a terrace and garden, and keeps things straightforward — air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi, and free parking on the island. With family rooms available and an on-site restaurant serving a wide range of dietary options, this is a practical base for travellers who want to spend time in the water and on the island rather than paying for a resort experience.

Best for
- Budget-conscious travellers to the Maldives

- Travellers with specific dietary requirements
Less suited to
- Those wanting an all-inclusive resort setup
- Travellers who prefer alcohol on-property
Garden and terrace setting
The inn has an outdoor terrace and a garden — space to sit outside without going far. Thoddoo itself is small and flat, and the garden gives the property a sense of separation from the road.
Restaurant with broad menu options
The on-site restaurant covers a long list of dietary needs: continental, Asian, American, Italian, vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, and kosher options are all listed, alongside a buffet and breakfast to go.
Rooms built for families
Family rooms are available, with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and en-suite bathrooms with a bath. An electric kettle is included, and there are clothes-drying and hanging facilities in each room.
City view from the property
Rooms and common areas face out over the local island townscape. It's an honest local-island view rather than a lagoon panorama, which suits the character of staying on Thoddoo.

Arriving
Thoddoo sits roughly 69 km from Malé, and the standard transfer is by seaplane. Seaplanes operate during daylight hours only, so early morning or late afternoon arrivals from Velana International Airport may require an overnight stay in Malé before flying out to the island.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
