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.
Outdoor spaces and garden
Several rooms open onto a terrace, and the property has a garden and sun deck with outdoor furniture. Inner courtyard views feature in some rooms, giving a sense of enclosure rather than exposure to the street.
Rooms designed for self-sufficiency
Every room comes with its own private kitchen, fitted with a stovetop, oven, toaster, electric kettle, and kitchenware. A washing machine and dryer are also on-site, which matters on a longer stay.
Fuvahmulah: a distinct island
Fuvahmulah is a single-island atoll with its own freshwater lakes and geography unlike any other in the Maldives. Reaching it takes a domestic flight from Malé plus a speedboat transfer, roughly 500 km in total.
