The editorial take
Why Cyrus Beach Inn
Cyrus Beach Inn is a 10-room family-run guesthouse on the village side of Dhigurah, a few minutes' walk from the bikini beach. Daily whale-shark snorkel trips are bookable at reception. The rooms are simple, the breakfast is local-style (tuna and roshi rather than continental), and the owners speak English well. Best for travellers who want Dhigurah's wildlife at the cheapest end of the price band. Skip it if you want a pool or restaurant on site.

- Locally edited.Every property here has an editorial take written by a Maldivian editor, not a press kit rewrite. We tell you who it's for and who it isn't.
- Removed if it fails.If a property gets bad reports from guests we sent there, we de-list it. We'd rather lose the commission than lose your trust.
