Sands Inn Mathiveri is a resort on Chandhaneemagu, a resort island in North Ari Atoll. Like most Maldives resort islands, Chandhaneemagu is given over to a single resort, so your room, the restaurants and the beach are all on the same island.
Best for
Sands Inn Mathiveri suits travellers who want a self-contained island holiday, with the beach, meals and activities a short walk from the room, and who are happy to stay put once they arrive.
It suits less well travellers on a tight budget or anyone who wants to see everyday island life, because meals, drinks and excursions are bought from the resort, and leaving Chandhaneemagu means a boat trip.

Trade-offs and what to know
Everything on Chandhaneemagu is priced by the resort, so the meal plan and drinks make a large difference to the final cost. Transfers are part of the decision too: confirm how Sands Inn Mathiveri brings guests from the airport, how long it takes and whether it is included. Once you are on the island, outside excursions depend on the resort’s boat schedule.
Getting there and getting around
Resorts in North Ari Atoll are reached by seaplane, by a long speedboat ride or, for some islands, by a domestic flight to Maamigili followed by a boat. The resort arranges the transfer, and seaplanes fly only in daylight, so check the timing against your flights.

Before you book
Before booking Sands Inn Mathiveri, check which room category you are buying, the meal plan (bed and breakfast, half board, full board or all-inclusive), the transfer type, timing and price from the airport, and the cancellation terms.
