Who this stay suits

Best for

Location on Hulhumalé
Hulhumalé sits 3 km from Velana International Airport, connected by the Sinamalé Bridge. Guests reach the property by airport taxi rather than a boat transfer, making early arrivals and late departures genuinely low-stress. The island has restaurants and things to do within reach.
Sea-view balcony room
The top room category is 25 m² and adds a private balcony with a sea view — a meaningful step up from the standard 15 m² rooms. It fits two on one extra-large double bed and includes a minibar, flat-screen TV, and private bathroom.
On-site dining and breakfast
The guest house runs its own restaurant, and free breakfast is included in the room rate. For a Hulhumalé property at this price point, having breakfast on-site rather than hunting for a café is a practical advantage worth noting.
Room comfort at 15–25 m²
All rooms have air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, flat-screen TV, minibar, and free WiFi. The Deluxe King and Twin rooms each run 15 m² and include a landmark view. Rooms are compact but consistently equipped.
