A city stay in Hulhumalé
Le Vieux Nice Inn by V Hotels is a four-star guest house in Nirolhumagu Atoll, Maldives. A speedboat transfer of 4 km connects it to the airport, which is about as close as it gets for an island property in the country. The surrounding area scores well for restaurants and things to do — useful for guests who want more than just a single resort's facilities. The property accepts families and runs an airport shuttle. It currently holds a 3.8 Google rating from 37 reviews.
The honest verdict
A compact, locally run guest house with fast airport access and good nearby dining options, though reviews on the property itself and food on-site are mixed.
Best for
- Families travelling with children
- Travellers who want easy airport connections
- Guests keen to eat at local restaurants
- Visitors who prefer a guest house over a large resort
Maybe not ideal for
- Guests expecting a full resort facility list
- Those prioritising on-site dining quality
- Travellers seeking a remote, secluded island
Airport access
The speedboat transfer to the airport covers just 4 km. That proximity matters for early departures or late arrivals and removes much of the long-transfer anxiety common with Maldivian island stays. The property runs its own airport shuttle.
Local dining within reach
The area around the inn scores 4.7 out of 5 for restaurants — one of the higher local dining scores for a Maldivian guest house. Guests have real options beyond whatever is served on-site.
Things to do nearby
The surrounding area scores 4.5 out of 5 for activities. That suggests reasonable access to water sports, excursions, or local island life without being marooned on a single resort island.
Kid-friendly policy
The property explicitly welcomes children. Families travelling with young kids don't need to check separately whether the inn will accommodate them.
