Rosemary Boutique Hotel

About this accommodation

Rosemary Boutique Hotel is a small, family-owned guesthouse on Maafushi island in South Male Atoll, reached by around a 25-to-30-minute speedboat transfer or a scheduled public ferry from Male. Opened in 2019, the property sits roughly 100 metres from Maafushi's designated tourist (bikini) beach and within 5 minutes' walk of the public beach. Rooms are air-conditioned with flat-screen satellite TVs, fridges, kettles, hairdryers, showers and desks; one of the property's defining features is a private open-air jacuzzi with a small sundeck on the upper floor. On the ground floor there is a restaurant serving a daily-changing buffet with vegetarian Indian dishes available on request, and the kitchen accommodates vegan guests. The hotel operates its own boat for half-day snorkelling trips and sunset fishing, reducing reliance on third-party excursion desks for basic water activities. Free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour reception, a shared lounge and bicycle parking are available. It holds a 4.4/5 rating from 169 reviews, cited for location and flexible dining. Rosemary suits travellers wanting a low-key, walk-to-beach base on Maafushi with dependable in-house excursions.
