Guraidhoo Guesthouses, Maldives

Sixteen local-island guesthouses on Guraidhoo, from simple value rooms to hotel-style stays with a pool. All a short walk from the Lhosfushi bikini beach and the South Male’ channel dives, and all bookable through HolidayVibe with transfers and trips sorted.

Quick answer: Guraidhoo has a wide choice of guesthouses, from around USD 60 a night for small value stays to USD 120 for larger hotel-style properties with a pool. Every one includes breakfast, sits a few minutes from the Lhosfushi bikini beach, arranges channel diving and snorkelling, and is reached by speedboat or public ferry from Male’. Use the filters below to narrow by price, who it suits, and features like a pool or sea-view rooms.

Guraidhoo is one of South Male’ Atoll’s best-value local islands: close to Male’, strong for diving, and quieter than Maafushi. The guesthouses below range from three-room family-run stays to larger properties with on-site dining. Prices are indicative starting rates; the all-in total adds 17% TGST, a service charge, Green Tax of USD 6 per person per night, and your transfer, so ask us for a full quote.

Good to know: all sixteen arrange channel diving through the island’s operators (none has an in-house dive centre) and all have standard WiFi. Guraidhoo is a dry local island, so alcohol is available only on a resort day trip or safari boat. For the island itself, see our Guraidhoo island guide.

Choosing a Guraidhoo guesthouse

The properties here fall into three rough groups. Small value stays (around USD 60 to 75, three to eight rooms) are family-run and best for divers, couples and budget travellers who want a simple, friendly base. Mid-size guesthouses (around USD 75 to 95) add more rooms, sometimes sea-view options, and suit families wanting a bit more space. Hotel-style properties (around USD 110 to 120) like the larger ones with a pool or on-site spa give you more facilities closer to a small hotel, while keeping local-island prices well below a resort.

Whichever you choose, the Guraidhoo basics are the same: breakfast included, the Lhosfushi bikini beach a few minutes away, channel diving and snorkelling arranged on the island, and a speedboat or ferry from Male’. For getting there, see the Male’ to Guraidhoo transfer guide; for diving, the Guraidhoo diving guide; and for activities, things to do in Guraidhoo.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Guraidhoo guesthouse cost?

Rates start from around USD 60 per night for small value guesthouses and rise to about USD 120 for larger hotel-style properties with a pool. All include breakfast. The all-in total also adds 17% TGST, a service charge, Green Tax of USD 6 per person per night, and your transfer, so ask for a full quote.

Which Guraidhoo guesthouse is best for divers?

All sixteen arrange channel diving at Kandooma Thila, Guraidhoo Corner and other South Male’ sites, so any works as a dive base. Smaller value stays suit divers who just need a comfortable room, while the larger hotel-style properties add facilities. Tell us your plans and we will match one.

Do any Guraidhoo guesthouses have a pool?

Yes, a couple of the larger hotel-style properties have a pool. Most local-island guesthouses do not, since swimming is at the Lhosfushi bikini beach and on snorkelling trips. Use the pool filter above to see which ones have one.

Are Guraidhoo guesthouses near the bikini beach?

Yes. All are within roughly a four to five minute walk of the footbridge to the Lhosfushi bikini beach, the island’s designated swimwear beach. The village, harbour and dive boats are all close by too.

Is breakfast included and can I drink alcohol?

Breakfast is included at all sixteen. Alcohol is not sold on Guraidhoo, as it is a dry local island; it is available on a resort day trip or a licensed safari boat, which your guesthouse can arrange.
