Featuring sea views, Hiraeth island home is located in Guraidhoo, around a few steps from Guraidhoo Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace. The guest house features family rooms.

The units in the guest house are equipped with a kettle. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hair dryer, units at the guest house also provide guests with free WiFi, while some rooms will provide you with a balcony. At the guest house, all units include bed linen and towels. We had a wonderful time at Hireath Island Home even though it rained for 2 days. We enjoyed the family room which had a terrace overlooking the sea which gave us plenty of space and privacy to enjoy our time. Everyone was very accommodating and very nice and our requests were met immediately. Unfortunately we were only there for 7 days and we would have liked to stay longer. Thanks again to all the staff at the Hireat and all the best, we would love to come back.

A good location for a hassle-free getaway in Guraidhoo, Konut by Thakuru is a guest house surrounded by views of the inner courtyard. The property features a garden, shared lounge and parking on-site among other facilities. With a private beach area, the 4-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The guest house features garden views, a sun terrace and a 24-hour front desk. The property is very clean and cosy. Close to the bikini beach (overall the island is small and completely walkable). Breakfast was included and we also got to try the local Maldivian breakfast- all home cooked and clean. We had a buggy transportation for our luggage to & from the port and the property and they also helped us book the speedboat to Malé.They also greet you personally at the port to receive you 🙂 Ms. Aroo was the kindest host and organised our excursions as well as took care of giving us all the necessary information for the stay and trips. The excursions are managed by Gaadi Tours, which is exclusive to the home stay, so you get to do the trips only with the rest of the house guests- so it’s very comfortable. Gadi was a great guy who made us feel so much at ease with the open water swimming in deeper waters and we were mesmerised by the corals, swimming with the turtles, underwater water photography as well as visiting the beautiful sandbank during low tide. What a memorable experience for life ♥️ And lastly, Hassan who is the caretaker of the property was the most kindest soul who took care of your stay. It felt like we were staying with our family with all the warmth, kindness and attention. Highly recommend!

The lady from Nepal, Nilam provided an excellent service with a smile every day. She and her colleague were very professional and customer oriented. I think she has a great future even as a manager, very inteligent. The hotel is excellent location near Bikini beach.

There is a seating area, a dining area and a kitchen equipped with a fridge. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and ironing service.

The guest house specialises in a continental and Asian breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. This guest house is really amazing. I came here for 3 nights as a solo female traveler and it was perfect. The room is good size and very very clean. There is AC, TV, wifi, and breakfast included. They give you 2 towels, shower gel, shampoo, coffee, water. You can book the speedboat from Male’ airport through them (it should be 25$) and then they pick you up at the harbor. The bikini beach it’s just like 3/4 mins away. The owner, Latif, is a really nice man and he made me feel at home preparing breakfast every morning for me and helping me with any questions I had. I also booked the excursions through Latif (swimming with nurse sharks and sea turtles, both highly recommended). Plus, i texted them a lot the weeks prior asking many questions since i was a little bit anxious as it was my first time doing an experience like this alone and they gave me all the informations i needed. The island itself is beautiful but this guest house made the experience much better for sure. Thank you Latif and the team for the wonderful costumer service! Tip: if you want to buy souvenirs I recommend you to go to “Felice shop”. The owner is most of the time in front of this guest house and he is a really good person that also speaks so many languages, he is really nice to talk to and maybe ask some advices in your language!

The outdoor shower was new for us, and a really nice feature. The staff was also very kind and informative. Ready to help us out with every Wish. Including our best half day tour of the Maldives. Private tour snorkeling with Dolphins, sharks and plenty of fish, and strolling on a beautiful sandbank all alone. We even got drone and underwater footage. All in all 10 out of 10, we highly recommend!!
