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.
Beachfront setting on Ukulhas
The guest house sits directly on the beach at Ukulhas. There is a private beach area, a sun terrace, outdoor furniture, and a BBQ setup. The outdoor dining area means you can eat with the beach in front of you rather than inside.
Standalone villas with patios
Each villa functions as a self-contained unit — private kitchenette, private bathroom, and a patio. Views vary by villa: garden, inner courtyard, or landmark. The Family Suite at 20 m² is the largest of the three options.
Two restaurants on site
Sea View Villa runs two restaurants covering a broad dietary spread: continental, Asian, American, vegetarian, halal, and gluten-free. Having two distinct dining spaces on a small guest house is unusual for Ukulhas.
Spa and fitness centre
A spa and wellness centre and a fitness centre are both on the property. For a guest house at this price point, having both in one place gives visitors more to do between water activities.
Garden and outdoor spaces
Beyond the beach, the grounds include a garden, a picnic area, and an inner courtyard. The outdoor dining area and terrace extend the usable space considerably for a small property.

Getting there
Getting to Sea View Villa on Ukulhas in North Ari Atoll means covering about 74 km from Malé (MLE) by seaplane — a scenic flight of roughly 20 minutes. The property arranges the seaplane once your flights are confirmed. Seaplanes fly in daylight hours only, so late arrivals may overnight in Malé.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
