Starry Beach Inn

About this accommodation

Starry Beach Inn is a small guesthouse on Hulhumalé, the reclaimed urban island connected to Velana International Airport by the Sinamalé Bridge in North Malé Atoll (Kaafu). The property has 15 recently renovated rooms with soundproofed windows, flat-screen TVs, mini-bars, kettles, safes, walk-in showers, free Wi-Fi and a restaurant serving Chinese, Indian, seafood, local and wider Asian cuisine. It is about a 14-minute drive from the airport, and room rates typically include a free airport transfer; Hulhumalé's eastern public beach is across the street, with restaurants, cafes and the Maldives Islamic Centre within walking distance. Because Hulhumalé is a residential urban island rather than a resort, guests cannot step off the property onto a house reef, but Starry Beach Inn's tour desk packages day trips for diving, sandbank picnics, night fishing with BBQ, sunset dolphin cruises, island hopping, a tourist submarine and day visits to nearby resort and local islands. It suits solo and independent travellers, short-stay visitors and families wanting affordable, well-rated lodging within easy reach of the airport and central Malé.
