A full apartment base in Hulhumalé, close to the airport and the city.
A city stay in Hulhumalé
Beach Stay by Wahuj Maldives is a guest house in Hulhumalé, the reclaimed island just across the Sinamalé Bridge from Malé. The airport is 4 km away, making this a practical choice for early departures or late arrivals. The accommodation is a single three-bedroom apartment that sleeps up to six, with a private kitchen, balcony, and an inner courtyard view. A restaurant is on-site, and free private parking is available in the garage.
The honest verdict
A spacious, self-contained apartment in Hulhumalé with easy airport access, a full kitchen, and an on-site restaurant — suited to groups or families who prefer cooking in.
Best for
- Groups or families of up to six
- Travellers with early or late flights
- Stays that mix Malé city exploration with Maldives island-hopping
- Self-catering on a budget
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers seeking a remote island experience
- Couples wanting a small, intimate property
- Those who need alcohol on-site (Hulhumalé is alcohol-free)
The apartment layout
At 66 m², the three-bedroom apartment has a large double in the main room plus two further sleeping areas, each with a double and single bed. That configuration works for mixed groups — adults and children — without anyone sharing a bed they don't need to.
Inner courtyard and balcony
The apartment looks out over an inner courtyard and has its own balcony. It is not a beach-facing view, but the courtyard aspect keeps the space from feeling like a corridor-access room, and the balcony adds somewhere to sit outside.
Kitchen and living space
The kitchen runs to a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, electric kettle, toaster, and full kitchenware. There is a dining table and a separate seating area. A washing machine is also in the apartment, useful for longer stays.
Hulhumalé location
Hulhumalé is a planned island with wide roads, open space, and a public beach nearby. It sits across the Sinamalé Bridge from Malé, so the capital's cafes, markets, and ferry terminals are reachable by road.
