Guraidhoo island setting
Guraidhoo sits about 33 km from Velana International Airport, reachable by public ferry or shared speedboat. It is a lived-in local island, which means real community life around the property rather than a manicured resort landscape.
Rooms with balconies and pool views
The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and the Superior Double Room both look out over the pool. Soundproofing features in every room type, and each has air conditioning, a minibar, and a flat-screen TV.
Outdoor spaces and BBQ
The terrace and sun terrace have outdoor furniture for sitting out. BBQ facilities are available on site, which gives an informal dining option beyond the restaurant.
Water sport facilities on site
Snorkelling, diving, canoeing, windsurfing, and fishing are all listed among the property's activity offerings. Diving and excursion-style activities are typically arranged through local operators rather than run as independent on-site programmes.
