A city stay in Hulhumalé
CLUB BLU is a guest house in Hulhumalé, the reclaimed island just across the Sinamalé Bridge from Velana International Airport. The on-site Thai Palace restaurant runs breakfast through dinner, a rooftop terrace adds a second dining level, and Club Blu Spa handles Thai massage and body scrubs. Rooms start at $100 and go up to a two-bedroom apartment sleeping five. Free breakfast is included, and Hulhumalé's Eastern Beach is about a minute's walk from the property. A cluster of cafés and restaurants sits within 300 metres.
The honest verdict
A straightforward Hulhumalé guest house with more dining depth than most — an in-house Thai restaurant, a rooftop, and a spa — suited to transit stays or budget-conscious travellers who want food on the doorstep.
Best for
- Airport transit and stopovers
- Couples or small families watching costs
- Guests who want an on-site restaurant without resort prices
- Travellers using Hulhumalé as a base for day trips
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers seeking a private island or house reef
- Those who require alcohol on-site (Hulhumalé is alcohol-free)
- Guests expecting resort-scale facilities
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.
Thai Palace and rooftop dining
Thai Palace is the in-house restaurant, running authentic Thai food across breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Above it, the rooftop terrace restaurant gives a second option at the top of the building. Both sit within the property, so there is no need to go out for a meal.
Club Blu Spa
The full-service spa does Thai massage and body scrubs on-site. It is one of the few facilities of this kind available at a guest house in Hulhumalé, and it requires no separate booking through an external operator.
Eastern Beach access
The Eastern Beach in Hulhumalé is roughly a one-minute walk from CLUB BLU. A free beach shuttle is provided, making it practical even without your own transport. The property also arranges an airport shuttle for an extra charge.
Apartment and room options
The two-bedroom apartment sleeps five and comes as an entire apartment unit with a private bathroom and Wi-Fi — practical for families or small groups. Smaller rooms, including a King Room with a sofa bed, work for three guests.
