About Wave Crest Retreat

Wave Crest Retreat is a nine-room guesthouse on Thulusdhoo in Kaafu Atoll (North Malé Atoll), reached by a roughly 30-minute speedboat from Velana International Airport. The property sits directly on the beach, a few steps from the Cokes surf break, and has a garden, a terrace and on-site private parking. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, tiled floors and free Wi-Fi, and some have sea views and balconies. A small family-run restaurant serves brunch, lunch, dinner, high tea and cocktails, with Indian, Italian, Malaysian and other dishes and options for halal, vegetarian and vegan guests, and in-house guests typically receive a 10% discount. The guesthouse also offers bicycle hire, a tour desk for arranging snorkelling and surf trips through third-party operators, and occasional live music. Reviews on Booking, Hotels.com and Tripadvisor consistently highlight attentive staff, clean rooms and good value, and the property carries a 4.5/5 rating across more than 240 reviews. It suits budget-conscious surfers, snorkellers and couples who want a quiet, small-scale local island stay rather than a larger resort-style guesthouse.
