Thoddoo Beach Holiday

Total number of rooms: 6 | Prices start from 68.52 US$

If you’re looking for something super chill, local, and affordable in the Maldives, Thoddoo Beach Holiday is it. This guesthouse is located on Thoddoo Island, about 3 minutes from a private beach area that’s clean, quiet, and has zero resort crowds. You get free bikes to explore, snorkeling gear, and a ton of local help from the standout host, Sasha, who’s basically a one-man dream team. He organizes everything: excursions, food, beach trips, you name it.

Rooms are simple but spacious and clean, with hot water, comfy beds, and either garden or sea views. The restaurant offers solid variety with options for halal, vegan, and gluten-free guests.

Unlike most islands, Thoddoo is famous for its fruit farms, especially papayas and watermelons. You can literally bike past them on your way to the beach.

Good to know: The WiFi isn’t great, so remote work may be tough, but if you’re in unplug mode, this place is peaceful and laid-back.
