Guest Houses in Velidhoo

The hotel exceeded our expectations! It’s particularly important that the island itself is beautiful, unlike many other budget islands. The journey from Malé takes about 3 hours by boat, but it’s definitely worth it. There’s a large beach with truly white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. The hotel provides a private spot on the beach with loungers and umbrellas. We were practically alone on our part of the beach and rarely saw other guests. This island is perfect for snorkeling due to its abundance of coral reefs. Snorkeling gear (masks, snorkels, and fins) is available at the hotel. The staff is hospitable and caring, and the overall atmosphere is warm and homely despite the hotel’s modest size. Delicious breakfasts are included in the price, offering two types: a local breakfast featuring tuna and flatbreads, and a classic option with toast and sausages. Both breakfasts come with fried eggs, fresh fruit, and tea. Lunch can be purchased separately and is tasty and affordable. On our final day, the hotel surprised us with a complimentary candlelit dinner on the beach.

The staff was extremely kind and helpful. The room was comfortable quiet, and clean. They did everything to make my stay pleasant and comfortable. The manager contacted me via whatsapp, he arranged my ferry transfer airport/hotel/airport. He kept in touch to make sure someone will be waiting for me at Maafaru airport.
