The Sultanate Courtyard Lh Hinnavaru is a hotel on Hinnavaru, an inhabited local island in Lhaviyani Atoll. It is on Hinnavaru itself, among the island’s own community rather than on a private resort island.
Best for
The Sultanate Courtyard Lh Hinnavaru suits travellers who would rather stay on a local island than at a resort, spending their days on Hinnavaru’s beaches, on the water and on boat excursions run from the island.
It suits less well anyone who wants a bar or a drink with dinner, because alcohol is available only on resort islands, or anyone who wants the privacy and service of a resort.

Friday is the weekly day of rest, when shops close for prayers and public ferry services are reduced. Boat transfers depend on sea conditions, so leave some slack before an international flight.
Getting there and getting around
Reaching Hinnavaru involves a domestic flight, a seaplane or a long boat transfer depending on the route, so confirm the arrangement your booking uses.
