A local-island guesthouse on Thulusdhoo
Amazonite Guesthouse sits right on the beach on Thulusdhoo, a small inhabited island about 24 km from Malé in the North Malé Atoll. Three room types start from under $70 a night, making it one of the more affordable beachfront options on the island. The guest house carries a 4.6/5 Google rating from early reviewers, with location singled out as a particular strength. Restaurants and cafes are within a short walk, and the island is well known as a base for surfing and water-based excursions arranged through local operators.
The honest verdict
A compact, simply furnished beachfront guest house with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and easy walking access to Thulusdhoo's cafes and surf scene.
Best for
- Budget-conscious travellers wanting a beachfront address
- Surfers using Thulusdhoo as a base
- Couples or small groups comfortable with guest house style
- Travellers who prefer island dining out rather than on-site
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers expecting resort facilities
- Those wanting all-inclusive meal plans
- Large groups needing multiple rooms with uniform configurations
What a stay costs
Indicative room-only estimate from the lowest nightly rate — excludes airport transfers, taxes and seasonal price changes. Many Maldives properties also require a minimum stay. Check live rates for your dates.
Right on the beach
The guest house sits directly on the beachfront — a rare position on Thulusdhoo at this price point. The beach access is immediate, not a short walk or a shuttle ride away.
Rooms with practical comforts
Every room has a private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with streaming, a refrigerator, electric kettle, and free WiFi. The Family Room adds a spa bath, which sets it apart from the other two room types.
A garden and outdoor space
The property includes a garden, giving guests somewhere to sit outside beyond the beach itself. It's a modest but useful feature for a guest house at this category and price.
Dining within easy reach
Bandaha Cafe is roughly 100 metres away. Kooks Café, Fusion Feast, The Nexus Hub, and several others are all within 300 metres. Guests are never far from a meal without needing transport.
