A local-island guesthouse on Huraa

It holds a 4.7 Google rating across 51 reviews, and recent guests have rated its location 9.1 out of 10. This is a three-star guesthouse, not a full resort.

Breakfast runs to continental, full English, halal, American, and buffet options.

- Travellers expecting resort-level services

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.
House reef access
The house reef is directly off the property, so snorkelling and diving are available without a boat trip. Water sport facilities are on site, and windsurfing is also an option for guests.
Dining on site
The restaurant covers continental, full English, halal, American, and buffet breakfast styles. BBQ facilities are also available, and room service runs for guests who prefer to eat in.
Kids' club for families
A dedicated kids' club is on site, which is uncommon at guesthouse level in the Maldives. This, combined with the beachfront garden and outdoor furniture, gives families practical reasons to stay.
Activities beyond the water
Bicycle rental, bike tours, and walking tours are available on the island. Evenings can include live music, themed dinner nights, and movie nights — all organised by the entertainment staff.
Beachfront outdoor space
The grounds include a sun terrace, garden, picnic area, and outdoor furniture. It is a practical setup for guests who spend most of the day outside rather than in their rooms.

Getting there
