A family home you can rent for a week, or a month.
Maafolhey Han'dhaan is a complete private home in the village on Ukulhas. Two bedrooms with private bathrooms, a sofa bed in the living area, a kitchen you can actually cook in, a washing machine you'll be glad of by day three.
It works well for families travelling with young children, small groups splitting an island, and couples who want their own space for a longer stay. Bookings come straight to the family who looks after the home, no booking platform in the middle.
Two bedrooms, a sofa bed, room for six.
Each bedroom has its own bathroom and air conditioning. The sofa bed in the living area handles an extra two when you need it. A baby cot is available on request, just mention it when you message us.

A real kitchen. And a washing machine.
Cook the way you eat at home. Bring back groceries from the village shops, share long evenings at the dining table, and run a load of laundry while you're out at the beach.

The home, the courtyard, the island a few steps away.
The island is the reason.
Ukulhas sits on one of the Maldives' most accessible house reefs. Dolphins most mornings. Manta rays in season. Sandbanks a short boat ride away — and your home is right in the village.

“Everything we needed was there — we cooked our own meals without any trouble. The beach is just a short walk away and it's beautiful, with free sunbeds and plenty of shade. Great restaurants right nearby too. A big thank you to Nasir for all his support during our stay.”
- Group
“A very responsive host and his wife — kind people who helped us with anything we asked. A proper kitchen that lets you cook whatever you like.”
- Couple
“A beautiful, fully equipped home — kettle, toaster, stove, microwave, washing machine, the lot. Every room has air conditioning, and each bedroom has its own bathroom with shower. There's also a small courtyard with a table and chairs — lovely for morning coffee. Five minutes to the beach. Nasir was wonderful throughout: always available, brought us homemade Maldivian treats, and arranged our transfer to the next island.”
Why message us direct.
We're on Booking.com because that's how a lot of guests first find us. But if you've already found us here, going direct is better for both of us — three reasons.
-
Talk to the people who live here
Your messages reach the family who looks after the home, not a call centre. Ask anything before you commit — group size, cot, pickup at the dock.
-
No deposit to hold dates
We hold your dates while we work out the details together. You pay on arrival, in cash or by card. No advance charge, no cancellation fee surprise.
-
Better rate than the booking platforms
OTAs charge us 15–20% commission. Booking direct means we pass most of that back to you and the rest stays on the island.
Typical reply window: within 12 hours, often much faster. We'll send the seasonal rate, confirm a baby cot if you need one, and answer practical questions before you decide.
