Ocean Vista

About this accommodation

Ocean Vista is a three-star guesthouse on the inhabited local island of Maafushi in Kaafu Atoll, about 27 km south of Velana International Airport. Guests typically reach Maafushi by a 45-minute shared speedboat transfer or, on a tighter budget, via the government public ferry, which runs most days except Friday and takes about 90 minutes. The property is close to the beach and around 600 metres from Maafushi's designated Bikini Beach, the stretch of coastline set aside for tourist swimwear on this Muslim-populated island. Published facilities include an on-site restaurant, daily room service, a lounge, terrace and barbecue area, plus free Wi-Fi throughout, with in-room safes, mini-fridges and private bathrooms in the accommodation. Snorkelling and diving excursions are arranged via third-party island operators. With a 4.4 rating from 225 reviews, the guesthouse is praised for clean, spacious rooms, sea-view units and Indian-influenced cuisine. It suits independent travellers who want an authentic local-island stay with reef snorkelling and sandbank trips on the doorstep.
