Ukulhas, Maldives

One island home,
entirely yours.

Maafolhey is a private two-bedroom home in Ukulhas, Maldives, reserved for your group alone.

No online booking system. You reserve directly with the host on WhatsApp.

One booking. The whole home.

Maafolhey is not split between separate bookings. For the nights you stay, both bedrooms and every shared space are yours alone: no corridor between rooms, no shared kitchen, and no one else’s schedule next door.

That is the practical difference from booking two or three separate rooms.

Look through the rooms

2 bedrooms, one shared rhythm.

Two separate bedrooms and one living and dining space is a useful shape for a family, two couples, or four to six friends. Everyone has somewhere to sleep and somewhere to be together.

Sleeps up to 6.

Tell us your adults, children and infants before you reserve, and we will confirm the sleeping arrangement for your group. A baby cot is available on request.

Live on your own clock.

Make breakfast when the children wake up. Eat out when you would rather not cook. No breakfast or meal plan is included here, and that is the point: meals become a choice, not a fixed cost for everyone, every day.

The living and dining space gives the group somewhere to sit that is not a bedroom, and the washing machine matters more the longer you stay.

Ukulhas

An island you can walk end to end.

About a kilometre long, and people get around it on foot. The harbour, the village, the shops, the cafés and the designated bikini beach all sit inside that small footprint, shared with the people who live here.

Our apartment had all the facilities we needed, we could even cook toasts and warm sandwiches. The beach is very close and it's amazing, with free sunbeds and plenty of shade. You can also easily find great restaurants nearby. Thank you so much, Nasir, for your support during our stay!

A village street on Ukulhas, close to Maafolhey

The shop and the restaurant are a short walk.

The kitchen means you never have to eat out. Ona-Noa is there for the nights you’d rather not cook, and Amsan Mart is close enough that picking up a forgotten ingredient only takes a short walk.

  • Ona-Noa Restaurant About a minute's walk
  • Amsan Mart Under a 3-minute walk
