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.
Rooms with a city view
Each Deluxe Double or Twin Room has a city view, air conditioning, and soundproofing. The layout includes a sofa bed alongside the queen bed, a wardrobe, clothes rack, and sockets near the bed — practical details that matter on a longer stay.
A full private kitchen
The kitchen runs to a refrigerator, electric kettle, coffee machine, and dining table. Guests who want to cook their own meals have everything in the room to do it, which is uncommon at this price point on a Maldivian local island.
BBQ and outdoor space
BBQ facilities are available on site for an additional charge, with outdoor furniture included. It is one of the few practical outdoor cooking setups available at a local island inn in the Guraidhoo area.
