A small, quiet retreat just a stone's throw from Male. It boasts one of the most beautiful bikini beaches in the atoll with dazzling blue waters.
Gulhi is a tiny fishing village located just a short speedboat ride from the capital. Unlike its busy neighbor Maafushi, Gulhi has managed to maintain a much calmer, intimate, and traditional atmosphere, perfect for those seeking relaxation without long transfers.
The jewel of the island is undoubtedly its bikini beach: a crescent of blinding white sand plunging into a shallow, warm lagoon of a blue so intense it looks unreal. An iconic water swing makes this spot a natural photographic set.
On the island, you can find small local cafes, a few cozy restaurants, and a historic boatyard where Maldivian craftsmen still build traditional wooden Dhoni boats entirely by hand.
The score summarizes the main strengths and limitations of Gulhi. Read the individual ratings to understand whether it truly matches your way of experiencing the Maldives.
These scores are Maldivando's own assessment: we assign them island by island, combining what we have seen first-hand with the data we collect and verify. They are not an average of traveller reviews, which you will find further down this page.
On Gulhi, you can start from these options and build a tailor-made trip with dates and duration of your choice.
