Avyanna Gulhi Beach Resort, where we were able to experience the real Maldivian life and the beauty of the Maldives for 4 nights with a homely feeling, is a must-stay during your trip to the Maldives. We enjoyed the delicious food, comfortable new room facilities, and a wonderful view. In particular, we would like to thank Mr. Vidura Ratnayake, who took care of us from the moment we booked the hotel until the end of our trip to the Maldives, and we would also like to thank the owner of Avyanna Hotel. Thank you to all the Avyanna staff who took care of us from the moment we set foot on Gulhi Island to the moment we left. Deepthi Jayawansha & Samith Niroshan with Baby Miyasi.

An amazing place to experience the real Maldives! Avyanna Gulhi Beach is the perfect spot to relax, explore, and enjoy island life. The location is stunning, the food is absolutely delicious, and the service is top-notch. But what really makes this place special is the incredibly friendly and helpful staff – they truly go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Highly recommended!
Me and may family had a really great stay here. It’s a new hotel. The rooms were clean and tidy. The service was exceptional and they did all the arrangements for excursion as per our timing. One suggestion I thought of giving is that they can increase the number of Items in their breakfast menu since it’s very limited to 2/3. Overall good 👌🏻
