MIB Guest House Awards 2026: what Maldives’ first guest house awards mean for Fuvahmulah

The Maldives has a new set of awards for the people who run its local-island tourism. On 15 October 2026, Maldives Islamic Bank (MIB) presents the first MIB Guest House Awards during its third annual Guest House Symposium at Barceló Nasandhura in Malé. For an island like Fuvahmulah, where guest houses, dive centres and the island council all work to bring visitors south, it is a welcome spotlight. Maldives Islamic Bank (MIB)

Maldives’ first guest house awards, and why local-island stays and diving are in the spotlight.

Ale Sara Guest House sits on Thoddoo, a friendly local island in North Ari Atoll, about 75 minutes by speedboat from Malé airport. Think turquoise lagoon, white sand, and evenings that end with a sunset over the ocean.

Your days on Thoddoo:

Snorkel with turtles, reef sharks and, in season, manta rays
Relax on the island’s tourist beach
Cycle past watermelon and papaya farms
Watch dolphins at sunset, or try traditional night fishing
Visit a sandbank in the middle of the ocean

At Ale Sara you stay in calm, air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, set around a green garden courtyard, with breakfast, half board or full board.

We take care of everything for you: speedboat transfers, meet and greet at the airport, and all your excursions, booked direct with a licensed Maldivian travel agency.
