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.
The Duplex Apartment layout
The apartment spans two levels and sleeps five across two single beds, one extra-large double, and a sofa bed. It has its own kitchen, ensuite bathroom, balcony, and terrace — enough space for a family to spread out without feeling cramped.
Thoddoo island setting
Thoddoo is a populated local island, which means actual restaurants, fruit farms, and daily island life are within reach. Guests consistently single out the local things to do, dining options, and access to the wider atoll as the location's main strengths.
Views from the terrace
The apartment includes both a balcony and a ground-level terrace, each with a view. For a guest house on a local island, having two outdoor spaces at the same unit is an unusual practical plus.
