Oyster Residence

A friendly home by the sea, Oyster Residence offers a quiet, personal, and relaxed island experience. From sunrise snorkelling to evening fishing trips, we make it easy to enjoy Vaavu’s clear, vibrant waters. Located right beside the shark-viewing point, you’ll often see friendly blacktip reef sharks gliding past the shoreline. If you’d like to take home unforgettable memories, we can also arrange chargeable beachside drone videos or photography upon request.

Our rooms are simple, spotless, air-conditioned, and designed for restful island living — bright spaces where you can wake refreshed and step straight into turquoise water. Thinadhoo itself is a tranquil inhabited island with soft sand, quiet lanes, and a lagoon so clear you can spot fish from the shore. Shark Beach is just a short walk away, while coral gardens, a nearby shipwreck, and beautiful snorkelling and diving spots are only minutes away by boat. A swimmable lagoon, bikini beach, local cafés, groceries, and guest-friendly services are all within easy reach, and the island sits just 90 minutes by scheduled speedboat from Malé (or around 20 minutes by seaplane when available).
