Highly recommended!!! Best people care, activities organization and food in Hangnaamedhoo. I have been in this guest house for 10 days in December 2023 with my husband and some friends, first time in a guest house and I cannot wait to go back. Being a guest house, by definition the room and the bathroom are basic, but very clean and 2 min walk from bikini beach. Imad, the owner, is one of the most customer caring person I have ever met. He organizes everything from A-Z, starting from the airport pick up and transport to the daily trips to the little islands and other activities like snorkeling and fishing. The food is beautifully prepared by his sister and Sazura, that will make you fall…

Getting there
Local Travel Beach lies about 74 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport, the country's main gateway near Malé. The nearest domestic airport is Maamigili, roughly 44 km away, which matters if your transfer combines a domestic flight with a boat ride.
Local islands this far from Malé are usually reached by a domestic flight and a speedboat, or by a scheduled ferry or shared speedboat from Malé; the guesthouse can confirm current options and timings.
The nearest other stays in this guide are Ocean Beach Inn Maldives (on the same island), By The Shade (on the same island) and Ocean Beach Lodge Maldives (on the same island). On a local island or in the city, stays this close share the same streets, beaches and ferry stops, which makes them easy to compare.
