Hitha Maldives
Beachfront on Omadhoo, without the resort price tag.
A place to stay on Omadhoo
Hitha Maldives is a guest house on the island of Omadhoo, roughly 77 km from Malé. The setting is directly on the beach, and the property has a private beach area, garden, and outdoor dining space — more than you'd typically expect at this price point. With a 4.9/5 Google rating across 103 reviews, it punches well above its category. Rooms are compact but properly equipped, with air conditioning, coffee machines, barbecue access, and private bathrooms. A seaplane transfer connects you to Malé.
The honest verdict
A small, well-run beachfront guest house with genuinely good facilities for the category — compact rooms, outdoor BBQ space, and beach access, all at well under $110 a night.
Best for
- Budget-conscious couples or small groups
- Families wanting a local-island experience
- Travellers after water sports and fishing excursions
- Those who want beach access without resort prices
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers wanting alcohol on-island
- Those who prefer large-resort amenities
- Anyone unable to do a seaplane transfer
Right on the beach
The property sits directly on the beachfront with a private beach area, outdoor furniture, and a dedicated outdoor dining area. A picnic area and garden round out the grounds — a generous spread for a guest house on a local island.
Rooms built for practicality
Both room types are compact — 16 to 17 square metres — but come with air conditioning, a coffee machine, refrigerator, kitchenware, and a barbecue. Private bathrooms include a bidet and free toiletries. The beds can be configured several ways to suit your group.
Water and outdoor activity access
The guest house has water sport facilities, with snorkelling, canoeing, and fishing available. Bicycles are available to rent, and cultural tours of the local island can be arranged.

Getting there
Omadhoo is approximately 77 km from Malé, and the transfer is by seaplane. Seaplanes operate on fixed schedules and are weather-dependent, so it is worth planning arrival and departure times with some flexibility. The guest house lists an airport shuttle as a facility — confirm the exact handover point when you book.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
