About Rashu Hiyaa Hotel.

Rashu Hiyaa is a beachfront guesthouse on the local island of Dhiffushi in North Malé Atoll, reached from Velana International Airport by speedboat transfer. The property has 18 rooms, each air-conditioned with a private balcony, LCD TV, minibar, laptop-compatible safe and free Wi-Fi. The on-site beachfront restaurant, The Kettle, serves international cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the guesthouse operates a private beach area with sun loungers and umbrellas directly in front. Dhiffushi East Kite Beach and Dhiffushi South Beach are both within a 15-minute walk, and the island's designated bikini beach area is nearby. As Dhiffushi is an inhabited local island, excursions such as snorkelling trips, sandbank visits and dolphin cruises are arranged through third-party operators on the island rather than bundled by the guesthouse itself. With a 4.6/5 rating from 246 reviews, Rashu Hiyaa suits travellers looking for a quiet, well-reviewed local-island stay with direct beach access, couples wanting a slower-paced alternative to busier guesthouse islands, and small groups who prefer an inhabited Maldivian island over a private resort.
