Thoddoo
Thoddoo is a local island on Maldives that is different to others - it has quite a lot of agriculture. This island has no resort vibe and is probably the most budget friendly island in Maldives that we visited. The iconic palm tree alley and the beac...
Neat and clean, we could organise swimming with Manta rays and visiting a sandbank through them!
Ramzu Villa Thoddoo
Quite large and spacious rooms! Super lovely!
Shoreline Grand Thoddoo
Good budget friendly choice! Simple but has the main thing most need - bed.
Rangali Thoddoo
Dhigurah
Picture perfect sandbank going into the sea and lush greenery. This is probably the most beautiful local island in Maldives we visited.
AMAZING staff, beautiful private breakfast in the courtyard and such a cute place!
Dhonfalhu Dhigurah
You’re already on an island, might as well stay somewhere with cool island vibes!
Muraka Dhigurah
Make sure to get the balcony with sea view - it’s perfect!
Athiri Beach Dhigurah
Great choice for low budget accommodation in Dhigurah!
Guesthouse in Dhigurah
Male
Crowded and busy, but you can't escape Male most likely either on your way in or out of Maldives.
Not the most budget friendly place to stay but it's close enough to the water taxis and speed boats.
Marukab Plaza Malé
No reviews yet but excellent location and very good price for Male city.
Arrival View Malé
Not exactly super budget friendly place in Maldives, but it's located perfectly if you travel to and from other islands. And looks nice!
Samann Grand Malé
Fulidhoo
Very small island but beautiful. The sea on a sunny day was the bluest I have ever seen! At the pier there are sting rays and nurse sharks regularly, as well as turtles if you're lucky.
Dare I say - the most beautiful accommodation on this island!
Kunaa Beach Inn Fulidhoo
Sea view and comfortable rooms!
Thundi Sea View Fulidhoo
We didn't stay there but it's totally new and has such a cool style so may be worth some extra $$. The pier in front of the place gets nurse sharks and sting rays as frequent visitors too!
Nature lodge in Fulidhoo
Maafushi
The most accommodation and restaurant choices of all local islands. It also has the most touristy vibe of all the local islands in Maldives. Great jumping off point for tours since there are so many operators - also probably the most budget friendly ...
New and modern choice on Maafushi
Palmcasa Maafushi
Great staff and cleanliness!
Island Ambience Maafushi
We haven't been to this place but it's new and looks great at this price point!
Guesthouse in Maafushi
Hulhumale
Although all accommodations say Male City, many of them are actually located on a different island - Hulhumale. This is connected with Male via bridge and in between the two is the airport. So for the convenience and to avoid the crazy traffic in Mal...
Despite the average low review score, we thought it was an ok place to stay for a night before the flight.
Club Blu Hulhumale
Another budget friendly place to stay before flying home from Maldives!
Reef Guest House Hulhumale
Bonus points for helpful staff!
Marukab Plaza Male
Beautiful and has a kitchen if you want to cook your own meals!
