Grande Maldives Inn is a guest house on Himmafushi, an inhabited local island in North Malé Atoll. It is on Himmafushi itself, among the island’s own community rather than on a private resort island.

Best for

Grande Maldives Inn suits travellers who would rather stay on a local island than at a resort, spending their days on Himmafushi’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.

Location

The listed address is Himmafushi, 08060 Himmafushi, Maldives. Its map coordinates fall on Himmafushi, which is why we list it under Himmafushi in our North Malé Atoll section. It is about 13.7 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport and about 16.3 km from Malé. Distances on this page are straight-line figures, not journey times.

Rooms and style at Grande Maldives Inn

Grande Maldives Inn is a guest house. On a local island, expect a smaller and simpler set-up than at a resort. Compare the room categories for bed set-up, bathroom, air conditioning and outlook before you choose.

Facilities at Grande Maldives Inn

Listed facilities at Grande Maldives Inn include an airport shuttle, non-smoking rooms, room service, free Wi-Fi and breakfast. Breakfast is listed as available; whether it is included depends on the rate you choose.

Trade-offs and what to know

On Himmafushi, 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

Himmafushi 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.

Before you book

Before booking Grande Maldives Inn, confirm the room type and outlook, whether breakfast or other meals are included, how and when the airport transfer runs and what it costs, and the cancellation terms. If you arrive late in the day, ask whether a boat can still run after dark.
