A local-island guesthouse on Ukulhas
Coral Queen Villa sits on Ukulhas, a local island in the Maldives roughly 74 km from the main airport. Rooms start at $43 a night on a bed-and-breakfast basis, which puts it in a different category from the big resort islands nearby. The property is small and straightforward. There is a house reef within easy walking distance, a kids' club for families, and activities including diving, snorkelling, canoeing, and fishing arranged on-site. Several cafes and a restaurant are within 200 metres.
