A local-island guesthouse on Addu City
Fiyala Homestay sits in Addu City, the southernmost atoll in the Maldives, about 544 km from Malé. Reached by domestic flight and speedboat, it puts guests well outside the tourist circuit — closer to local life than to a resort strip. The place has one double room, priced from USD 75 per night. It comes with a fully equipped private kitchen, a garden-view patio, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. Breakfast is included. The Google rating stands at 4.9/5 from 33 reviews.

Best for
- Independent travellers and couples
