Gulhi Hotels with Balcony

"I stayed at this hotel earlier this month and was very satisfied with the overall experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The service throughout my stay was excellent—staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The food was delicious with plenty of variety, and the hotel’s location made it easy to get around and explore the area. Overall, a great stay and absolutely worth recommending!"

"The hotel has a perfect location, the best on the island: it is in 10 meters only from the beautiful main entry to the bikini beach. The beach is so big and clean! Umbrellas are for an additional fee but there's no need in them cause you can sit wherever you want under the tree. I had a cosy room with a balcony, on the second floor. In the room, you have everything you need: an air conditioner, a kettle, a fridge, lots of lights, towels etc. Cleaning is upon request. Wifi was good. The staff is extremely friendly and polite, always ready to help, they helped me so many times with different questions, the kindest people!! A team of divers live at the hotel and leads excursions for guests from the whole island. Snorkeling with them was the best experience in my life! I've seen colorful fish, big sharks, dolphins, and even a sea turtle. For breakfast, you have a choice between continental and maldivian breakfasts, I personally loved the last one, it was delicious. Always fresh fruits and juice before breakfast. Sometimes in the evening, the hotel prepares barbecue dinner with fresh fish from the sea and with traditional music, such an authentic experience! There are several restaurants on the island to have dinner, including the hotel restaurant. They're more or less of the same quality and price, liked local food there. Gulhi is very calm and tiny island, just 30 min on the boat from Male island. (The transfer to Gulhi from the airport costs $25.) There were not many tourists on the island, when I stayed. No noise at night at all, so if you're looking for calmness, this is probably the better choice for you than Maafushi. Also it feels safe if you're a female solo traveler. For me, everything was just perfect, loved the place, the food, the beach, the excursions. I think the guesthouse is the best price/quality option on the island. Thanks so much❤️"

"Very close to Bikini Beach, you can just walk downstairs to the beach. From the second-floor rooms, you can enjoy sea views right from your bed. Bikini Beach on the island is beautiful, and there are some small fish to see while snorkeling, including lionfish. In the evenings, you can even spot sharks at the jetty."

"Comfortable location - close to the bikini beach, excellent view from the balcony, a smart-tv and terrace, a careful and responsive manager. Of the minor downsides: not the most stable wi-fi, poor quality towels, no free drinking water. Breakfast is the most common"
