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.
Garden, terrace, and outdoor dining
The guest house has a garden, outdoor furniture, a sun terrace, and a dedicated outdoor dining area. BBQ facilities are also available — a practical setup for guests who want to eat outside on a warm evening.
Island setting, 77 km out
Omadhoo sits 77 km from Malé. The seaplane journey puts significant distance between this island and the capital's busier visitor strips, which is the point. Life here moves at a local pace.
Water sports on the island
The property has water sport facilities on site, and snorkelling, diving, and fishing can all be arranged. These are excursions run with local operators, not independent on-site dive centre operations.
Rooms built for two
Both room categories cover 17 m² and sleep two, with the choice of one extra-large double or two singles. Each has air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a flat-screen TV. The deluxe category adds a private terrace.

Getting there
Getting to Green Leaf Guest House on Omadhoo in South Ari Atoll means covering about 77 km from Malé (MLE) by seaplane — a scenic flight of roughly 25 minutes. The property arranges the seaplane once your flights are confirmed. Seaplanes fly in daylight hours only, so late arrivals may overnight in Malé.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
