About Ripple Beach Inn

Ripple Beach Inn is a 3-star guesthouse on Hulhumalé in the greater Malé region (Kaafu Atoll), built in 2013 and operated as a small beachfront property rather than a full-service hotel. It sits around 6.2 km from Velana International Airport, with a paid airport shuttle available on request; most guests complete the transfer within thirty minutes of landing. The building houses roughly eleven air-conditioned rooms with satellite TVs, complimentary bottled water, and complimentary toiletries, some with sea views. Facilities include an on-site restaurant, a minimarket, an outdoor seating area, family rooms, and a tour desk that arranges snorkeling, windsurfing, and canoeing excursions through third-party operators; bicycles are also available for rent. Free Wi-Fi and free self-parking are provided. Check-in is from 1:30 PM and check-out by 11:30 AM. Guest feedback praises the beachfront location and friendly staff, while also noting that parts of the property would benefit from refurbishment. The property holds a 3.8/5 rating from 240 reviews. It suits budget travelers and short-stay guests who want a practical beachfront base on a local island rather than resort-tier facilities.
