Palmrest Kaashidhoo Maldives is a guest house on Kaashidhoo, an inhabited local island in North Malé Atoll. It is on Kaashidhoo itself, among the island’s own community rather than on a private resort island.
Best for
Palmrest Kaashidhoo Maldives suits travellers who would rather stay on a local island than at a resort, spending their days on Kaashidhoo’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 araasthumagu, 08010 Kaashidhoo, Maldives. Its map coordinates fall on Kaashidhoo within North Malé Atoll, which is why we list it with the North Malé Resort Islands in our North Malé Atoll section. It is about 85.3 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport and about 87.0 km from Malé. Distances on this page are straight-line figures, not journey times.

Trade-offs and what to know
On Kaashidhoo, 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
Kaashidhoo 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.
