I got to experience the full Maldives here at this amazing hotel, very cozy and comfortable room and the staff here is on another level, super friendly and very helpful. They have their own diving and excursion Center. Must try - shark bank excursion, snorkelling with nurse sharks and visit a sand bank and it was such a great adventure. And also if you are a diver, you must go to the shipwreck diving which is 10 mins from the hotel. Loved the whole experience and Gulhi is such a peaceful island
Set in Gulhi, a few steps from Gulhi, Beach Stone offers beachfront accommodation and various facilities, such as a private beach area.

Everything!
The staff was very friendly and helpfull.
Super clean and comfortable.
They clean everyday.
1 minute walking from the bikini beach and supermarkets.
The breakfast is in another building but walking distance and is nice and all fresh.
You can use the sunbed and umbrella in front of the beach for free.
Totally worth it.
Note: You can pay with card but it will be added 3%.

We booked just for 1 night, but we would like to stay longer. Aqua Sunset is a wonderful place for relaxation. Armeen, the owner, was a very kind and helpful guy. He also arranged the private transfer with his own boat to the airport next day in the morning. Staf was amazing. Very tasty food at the restaurant. Definitely I will come again here, for several days. Thanks for everything guys and hope to see you again.

It is easy to walk around the Island.
In ecvening we made 2 /3 circles around Gulhi Island and afterwards we
tested all restaurants and the best was LAVISTA Cafe & bistro.
They have a tasty food.
There we had the best Tuna Steak in Gulhi.

Super friendly, safe, clean, quiet and with plenty of activities to choose from during the day.
Restaurants with different types of cuisines available and the food is really good. And great coffee.
Both beaches are absolutely stunning.
Baby sharks and other marine life are always visible from shore when walking around the island.

A very welcoming island and with such friendly locals.
A very welcoming island and with such friendly locals. It is a small island which is not that far from Male city or the airport by speedboat. There are some small restaurants and cafes that visitors can have snacks, drinks, tea and coffee. There are also many shops that sell everything visitors might need. Souvenir shops are also there and there are many items that can be bought at good prices. Cultural events are also there depending on the season and the occasions .

Gulhi island is perfect for tourists on budget.
Gulhi island is perfect for tourists on budget. We didn’t limit ourselves, we went on a couple of boat trips (which cost about 35-70$ per person) and bought whatever we needed (every meal was around 22$-36$), transfers cost around 25-35$ on a speed boat and 2$ on a public transport. All the restaurants, hotels and some shops accept dollars. The only disadvantage of the island, in my opinion, is that especially during low tide, the water in the ocean is knee-deep. Regardless of that the bikini beach is very clean and the corals are beautiful. Also I would suggest bringing fins with you because sometimes the current was really strong and renting them costs 5$.

Nice & cozy small island.
Nice & cozy small island. You can find local & western food over here & they are serving nice coffee over here. Friendly locals is making you feel welcome to the Island. Walking at the beach and swimming in the sea is the 2 common activities over there. Lying on the beach chair & watching sun set is really enjoyable.
We had an amazing experience in Gulhi island especially regarding local culture, as it is a perfect occasion to explore authentic Maldivian life, people are extremely friendly and kind.
Sandy Heaven has the kindest and most helpful staff so we easily befriended them (Saif - who exceeded our hospitality expectations, Shivoo and the manager Thaathi). The cleaning service is daily, the accomodation offers you various trip options which were profesionally organized. The staff also helped us with speedboat transfers (airport and other islands).
The hotel is located is a nice place in the island. it’s close to all commodities be it supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants, a mosque and it’s right in front of the beach (photos attached).
I highly recommend it for couples families or solo travelers
The staff are highly customer oriented as they take care of each and every step of your stay from check-in to check out
I noticed that they keep the place very clean (even cleaner than some 5* hotels) which is highly appreciated.
Enjoy your stay
The hotel is run by local guys. They go above and beyond to make sure you're enjoying your stay, and they provide a delicious Maldivian breakfast. Gulhi is a pretty small island. There was a lot of construction work going on during my stay. The hotel accommodation is quite simple but offers a short walking distance to the 'bikini beach' where water sports are available for a price. The WIFI works well near the lobby area for those thinking about doing some work in paradise. Thanks for the stay!
Awesome place, I totally recommend it! You can find there everything what you need for beach vacay.
The hotel is facing the bikini beach, so you enter the beach by few steps and as a hotel guest you can also use sun beds. The people working there were very friendly and hepful with any of our questions.
Our room was spacious & clean, with chairs to relax outside, in front of the room. There is also a restaurant in place (welcome frink & 2 options of breakfast were included).
Amazing hotel, with even better staff. Rooms are clean, nice and modern. Location is great, only 30min ride with speed boat from airport (hotel can arrange transfer). 2 minute walk to the most beautiful beach, with sunbeds and umbrellas provided for hotel guests. Went on a few trips organized with hotel and all of them were priceless experience. Everything you need they will provide.
Hotel staff made our stay here one of the best vacation so far, and we felt like home!
The friendliest hosts you can wish.
The concept of a guest house itself is great. We got to meet cool people from around the globe. Had awesome conversations and a lot of fun. No chance that would happen in a big hotel.
Anna, Ibrahim and Katya were above and beyond. My family of 3 kids, my husband and myself had a great time on Gulhi at Beach Walk.
And it’s so close to bikini beach by the way. Very convenient
The property was beautiful, clean and well manage, Breakfast was good
Nearest private bikani beach, nearest Indian food,hotel staff is very good and polite,the manager Remu very polite and friendly in nature,
Hotel provide snorking and day tour facility it's good, if you are planning to Maldives please book this property in gulhi island it's nice...Thanks all to made my tour wonderful
The hotel was amazing. We would like to thank to Sohel who was really helpful, disposable, protective and sympathetic. It was the first time someone was so kind to us, so we will choose this hotel again and will definitely recommend it to our friends!
Thank you Sohel!!!
The hotel is the best on the island, just sand foot on the bikini beach. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. Rooms really clean, great airconditioning. The food was also really nice, especially the grilled fish and tuna steak. Looking forward to be back!
Wow. A perfect 9 days in Gulhi. Absolutely perfect hotel. Amazing food, eating right on the water. The owner and staff were incredibly kind and helpful. One of my favorite places ever. Just wish I had more time. A must stay!
It was a small but comfy bedroom, clean and the hotel has a great location, very close by the bikini beach . Both the manager and the receptionist were attentive and kind . I would definitely go back soon 😀
Steps from the beach. …and what a beautiful beach!!! Don’t even bring your flip flops, just leave them at the hotel. Breakfast was nice. Fantastic host. Extended check out for very cheap.
1. Best thing about the hotel is the staff they are really friendly and nice.
2. Hotel wifi is pretty fast.
3. View from the room is nice.
4. Location is good.
Super clean, few steps from the beach. Staff was great - I forgot my watch at the hotel, and the owner was super kind to drop it at my hotel in Male :)
