Nalaveshi Inn is a guest house on Huraa, an inhabited local island in North Malé Atoll. It is on Huraa itself, among the island’s own community rather than on a private resort island.
Best for
Nalaveshi Inn suits travellers who would rather stay on a local island than at a resort, spending their days on Huraa’s beaches, on the water and on boat excursions run from the island.
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 North Male Atoll, Maldives. Its map coordinates fall on Huraa, which is why we list it under Huraa in our North Malé Atoll section. It is about 17.4 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport and about 20.1 km from Malé. Distances on this page are straight-line figures, not journey times.

Trade-offs and what to know
On Huraa, 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
Huraa is reached from Malé or the airport by speedboat, or more slowly and cheaply by public ferry from Malé on scheduled days. Once there, the island is small enough to explore on foot.

Before you book
Before booking Nalaveshi 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.
