h78 Maldives

About this accommodation

h78 Maldives is a small family-operated guesthouse on Hulhumalé, the reclaimed island adjacent to Malé in the Kaafu Atoll. The original property opened in 2014 with 15 rooms, and the brand has since grown to several houses in the same neighbourhood. The Hulhumalé location places it roughly a 15-minute drive from Velana International Airport, so guests arrive by road rather than by seaplane or inter-island speedboat. Rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with flat-screen satellite TVs, minibars, tea and coffee facilities and free Wi-Fi, and an on-site restaurant serves local and international dishes with a continental breakfast. The guesthouse sits a short walk from Hulhumalé's public beach and the island's main strip of casual cafes and eateries, including Red Snapper and Coffee Beans. Daily housekeeping, laundry and currency exchange are offered, and the property is rated 4.2/5 from over 600 reviews on major OTAs. It suits travellers who want a straightforward, well-reviewed urban base near the airport for pre- or post-resort nights, short stopovers, or for visitors exploring Malé, Hulhumalé and nearby reefs on day trips.
