A place to stay on Addu City
Clovebeach is a guest house in Addu City, the southernmost atoll in the Maldives, roughly 543 km from Malé. At $51 a night for a private double room, it sits at the accessible end of Addu accommodation. Addu City is one of the few atolls where island life runs alongside tourism rather than being replaced by it. Getting here takes a domestic flight plus a speedboat, so the journey is part of the deal — but so is arriving somewhere most visitors to the Maldives never reach. The property holds a 4.6/5 Google rating across 46 reviews.
The honest verdict
A straightforward, affordable guest house in a remote southern atoll — simple private rooms, no frills, and easy access to one of the Maldives' least-visited destinations.
Best for
- Budget-conscious travellers
- Addu City explorers
- Those wanting a local, non-resort experience
- Travellers comfortable with a domestic flight connection
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers wanting an all-inclusive setup
- Those seeking a short or simple transfer from Malé
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.
Location in Addu City
Addu City is the Maldives' southernmost atoll and one of its most geographically distinct. The islands here are connected by a causeway road — unusual in the Maldives — which makes local travel on land a genuine option rather than a constant boat dependency.
Room design and layout
The Deluxe Double Room runs to 33 m², which is a workable size for a couple. An extra-large double bed, private bathroom, and air conditioning make up the core of it. There is no shared dormitory setup — each room is self-contained.
A smaller, local stay
Clovebeach operates as a guest house rather than a resort, so the scale is smaller and the atmosphere more local. Guests are staying in a working Maldivian community, which gives the experience a different texture than a private-island resort would.

Is WiFi included?
Yes. Free WiFi is included in the room.
Is Clovebeach a resort or a guest house?
It is a guest house. The experience is local and low-key rather than resort-style. Addu City is a populated atoll, so guests are staying within a Maldivian community rather than on a private island.
Can I go snorkelling or diving from Clovebeach?
Addu Atoll has reefs and dive sites. These are accessed via excursions arranged with local operators in the area. There is no on-site dive centre listed for the property itself.
Is alcohol available in Addu City?
Addu City is a local Maldivian community island. Like other inhabited local islands, it is alcohol-free. If alcohol is important to your stay, this property and location would not suit you.
Is Clovebeach suitable for families?
The listed room sleeps two guests on one extra-large double bed. There is no family room or multi-bed configuration mentioned in the available facts, so families with children should confirm sleeping arrangements directly before booking.
What is the best time of year to visit Addu City?
The Maldives has two broad seasons: the dry northeast monsoon (roughly November to April) and the wetter southwest monsoon (May to October). Addu City, being the furthest south, can have slightly different weather patterns, so checking local forecasts for your travel dates is advisable.

Clovebeach holds a 4.6/5 Google rating based on 46 reviews. Recent guests have specifically highlighted the location as a strong point.
How do I book Clovebeach?
