Vista Beach Retreat

Vista Beach Retreat is a 4-star guesthouse in Hulhumale, Maldives, set right by Hulhumale Beach on Kaani Magu. This is a smart pick if you want a beachside stay close to Velana International Airport, with the ease of Hulhumale’s road links, cafés and everyday conveniences. Some rooms open to sea views, and the overall feel is compact and practical rather than remote-island resort style. Rooms come with air conditioning, a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, kettle, safe and private entrance, with non-smoking rooms available. Sea view categories include balcony options, while the property also offers room service, a shared lounge, lift access and a 24-hour front desk. A continental breakfast is available, and car hire can be arranged if you want to get around more easily. For a short Maldives stopover, an arrival or departure night, or a simple beach break in Hulhumale, the location is one of the main advantages here. You can step out to the public beach, and places such as Hulhumale Central Park and the ferry terminal are within the wider local area.
