A local-island guesthouse on Fehendhoo
Tropical Tree is a beachfront guest house on Fehendhoo, a local island in the Maldives roughly 98 km from the capital. It sits directly on the beach with a private beach area, and the property runs its own restaurant and bar — less common at island guest houses of this size. Rooms start at $88 per night and cover solo travellers, couples, and families. The guest house has earned a 4.6/5 Google rating across 45 reviews, with breakfast described as a highlight in the facility listing.

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.
On the beach, directly
Tropical Tree sits right on the beach with a private beach area and outdoor furniture. The setting is the main draw: you step outside and you are at the water. An outdoor dining area and picnic space sit alongside the beach.
Restaurant, bar, and BBQ
The guest house runs an on-site restaurant with room service, a bar, and BBQ facilities. For a property at this price point on a local island, having all three under one roof is practical and saves guests having to rely entirely on island alternatives.
Rooms with balconies and garden views
All room categories include a balcony, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi. Views look onto the garden or inner courtyard. Every room has a private bathroom with a shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries.
Family suite with flexible beds
The Deluxe Family Suite includes a patio alongside the balcony and can be configured with two king beds or two twin beds depending on availability. It also picks up a city view in addition to garden and courtyard outlooks.

Getting there
Getting to Tropical Tree on Fehendhoo in Baa Atoll means covering about 98 km from Malé (MLE) by seaplane — a scenic flight of roughly 30 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.
On the map
The island of Fehendhoo is part of Baa Atoll. Baa Atoll is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, famous for Hanifaru Bay and its seasonal gatherings of manta rays and whale sharks.
Maldives tours & activities
Excursions you can book for a Maldives stay — manta & whale-shark snorkelling, sandbank picnics, diving and sunset cruises. Availability varies by island; filter by your dates and location on GetYourGuide.
Tropical Tree holds a 4.6/5 Google rating from 45 reviews. The property's facility listing flags breakfast as a particular strength. With a beachfront position, on-site restaurant, and bar on a local island, the combination of price and setting appears to be what keeps guests rating it well.
