Fully furnished apartment few steps from beach is an apartment on Gulhi, an inhabited local island in South Malé Atoll. It is on Gulhi itself, among the island’s own community rather than on a private resort island.
Best for
Fully furnished apartment few steps from beach suits travellers who would rather stay on a local island than at a resort, spending their days on Gulhi’s beaches, on the water and on boat excursions run from the island. The listed airport shuttle also helps arrivals who would rather not arrange their own boat transfer.
It suits less well anyone who wants a bar or a drink with dinner, because alcohol is available only on resort islands, or anyone who wants the privacy and service of a resort.

Trade-offs and what to know
On Gulhi, local-island rules apply: shoulders and knees should be covered in the village and at any beach that is not a designated tourist beach. Friday is the weekly day of rest, when shops close for prayers and public ferry services are reduced. Boat transfers depend on sea conditions, so leave some slack before an international flight.
Getting there and getting around
Gulhi is reached from Malé or the airport by speedboat, or more slowly and cheaply by public ferry from Malé on scheduled days. An airport shuttle is listed; check what it is, when it runs and whether it costs extra. Once there, the island is small enough to explore on foot.
