Hikers Villa
A beachfront guest house on one of the Maldives' most remote islands
A place to stay on Fuvahmulah
Hikers Villa is a small guest house sitting directly on the beachfront of Fuvahmulah, an island roughly 499 km from Malé. It has four room types, all with sea views, plus a restaurant, a spa and wellness centre, and outdoor BBQ facilities. Fuvahmulah is a single-island atoll — geographically unusual in the Maldives — and getting here involves a domestic flight followed by a speedboat. The island draws visitors specifically for its diving and fishing, and the guest house can arrange snorkelling, diving, canoeing, and fishing excursions through local operators. Rates start at $108 per night.

Maybe not ideal for
- Those wanting a quick, easy airport connection

Beachfront setting on Fuvahmulah
The guest house sits right on the beach of Fuvahmulah, a compact single-island atoll in the far south of the Maldives. Every room faces the sea, and outdoor furniture is available for guests to use on the grounds.
Rooms with sea views throughout
All four room types include sea views and soundproofing. The King Suite adds a spa bath; the Deluxe King Suite has a private balcony. The Family Suite at 22 m² has both a double bed and two singles, making it the practical choice for four guests.
Garden, BBQ, and outdoor space
The property has a garden, outdoor furniture, and BBQ facilities — useful given Fuvahmulah's warm climate. A shared kitchen is also available for guests who want to self-cater alongside or instead of the on-site restaurant.
Spa and wellness on site
A spa and wellness centre is available within the property. Bathrobes, slippers, and bath facilities are included, and the King Suite with Spa Bath brings the option of a private spa bath directly into the room.
