A place to stay on Gaafaru
Mirian Sky Hotel is a three-star hotel on Gaafaru Atoll, roughly 61 km from Malé and reached by seaplane. It's a compact property with five room types ranging from 15 to 18 m², covering solo couples, triples, and families of four.

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.
Sea-view rooms with balcony
The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony is the standout room category. At 15 m², it has a large double bed, a private balcony, a terrace, and a sea view — the only room type here with an ocean outlook.
Outdoor spaces and garden
The property has a sun terrace, garden, outdoor furniture, a picnic area, and BBQ facilities. These shared spaces give the hotel a practical, sociable feel that suits guests who spend most of the day out on the water.
Inner courtyard rooms
Several rooms face an inner courtyard rather than the sea. The Deluxe Double or Twin and the Triple Room with Garden View both have a patio and look onto this sheltered central area.
Family room with bunk beds
The Deluxe Family Room is 18 m² and sleeps four using a bunk bed and a large double bed. At $88 per night, it is the lowest entry price on the property and the only room set up for young children.
