Sandies Bathala  

On Bathala Island in Alif Atoll — a compact spa hotel just a 5-minute drive from Rannalhi Beach and Ukulhas Beach, and close to Maaya Thila and the Fish Head dive site. The property sits about 27 km from the city center.

Forty-eight guestrooms come with minibars, desks, electric kettles and daily housekeeping for simple island comfort. Expect a spa center, fitness room, kids’ playroom and an arcade for laid-back days between dives and beach time.

Soak in the outdoor pool, book a massage at the spa, or hit the fitness center to keep your routine. On-site concierge and a tour desk make excursions easy, while laundry, dry cleaning, a safe-deposit box, 24-hour front desk and complimentary Wi‑Fi keep stays smooth — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head straight for the water.

Complimentary wireless internet access and in-room desks help you stay connected. Luggage storage and a 24-hour front desk add practical convenience for work-and-play travelers.

Dine at The Beach Gallery for lunch or dinner, grab a light bite at one of two coffee shops/cafes, or unwind at the bar/lounge. Room service is available for late nights after diving or sunset cocktails.
