Kuredhi View
A local island base with sea views and easy access to the water
A local-island guesthouse on Thulusdhoo
Kuredhi View is a guest house on Thulusdhoo, a local island in the Kaafu Atoll roughly 24 km from Malé, reachable by public ferry or shared speedboat. It runs nine room types across two floors, from garden-view doubles to sea-view family rooms, with balconies and a sun terrace. The property has an on-site restaurant serving vegetarian, vegan, and halal options, and it can arrange snorkelling, diving, and fishing trips through local operators. Bicycle rental is also available for getting around the island.
The honest verdict
A straightforward, well-located guest house on a local Maldivian island, with sea-view and garden-view rooms, an on-site restaurant, and activity arrangements through local operators.
Best for
- Couples and families on a local-island budget
- Surfers and divers using Thulusdhoo as a base
- Travellers wanting halal or vegan dining on-site
- Those happy to use public ferries rather than speedboat transfers
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers expecting a full resort experience
- Those wanting alcohol on the island
- Visitors looking for a private beach or house reef
Sea-view and garden-view rooms
Nine room types give a real choice of outlook. Sea-view options — doubles, twins, and family rooms — look out over the water, while garden-view rooms face the property's garden. All rooms have private bathrooms, air conditioning, and balconies or terrace access.
Outdoor spaces and terrace
A sun terrace and garden sit alongside the balconies attached to individual rooms. These are the main spots to sit outside, and the sea-view rooms make the most of Thulusdhoo's waterfront position.
On-site restaurant
The restaurant covers vegetarian, vegan, and halal menus, with a buffet format available. For a local island guest house, having dedicated dietary options on-site is a practical advantage rather than something to take for granted.
Room practicalities
Each room includes an electric kettle, refrigerator, desk, wardrobe, and extra-long beds. Bathrooms come with free toiletries and a hairdryer. There are sockets near the bed and a drying rack — details that matter on a longer island stay.

Getting there
Thulusdhoo sits approximately 24 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. The two main options are a public ferry or a shared speedboat. Both routes are standard for local island travel in the Kaafu Atoll. The guest house offers an airport shuttle service — arrange this in advance when confirming your booking.
The public ferry costs only a few dollars but runs on set days; a shared speedboat is typically $25–50 per person one way. The guesthouse usually arranges the speedboat — confirm days and fare.
