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.
Private beach area and garden
The inn has its own beach area and a garden, along with a terrace and outdoor dining space. It's a compact outdoor setup, but enough to sit outside, use the barbecue, and watch the sun go down without leaving the property.
Rooms with balcony and kitchen
Each Double or Twin Room comes with a private kitchen, balcony, minibar, air conditioning, and a flat-screen TV. Soundproofing is included — a detail that makes a difference in a small inn. Linen, free toiletries, and a hairdryer are all standard.
