Guesthouse · Gulhi Island
Aqua Sunset Guesthouse, Gulhi Island, Maldives
Six rooms, a friendly team and a quiet spot close to the beach. Small enough to feel like staying in a house.
About the hotel
A small guesthouse with a personal welcome
Aqua Sunset is one of the smaller places to stay on Gulhi, with just six rooms. That is its charm: the staff get to know you quickly, the house stays calm, and there is always someone around to help plan your day.
The rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and Wi-Fi, and some have a partial view of the sea. Breakfast is served every morning, and the kitchen can cook lunch, dinner and barbecues on request, often with fresh local fish.
It is a short walk from the harbour and the beach, so you can be on the sand within minutes of leaving your room. The team books snorkelling, sandbank trips, fishing and dolphin cruises, and can arrange your speedboat from the airport.
