It's a quiet home in the center of a busy and noisy town. Found serenity here after 10 days of liveaboard trip. The hotel is clean and classy with an amazing Thai restaurant. Room is cozy and shower is great! Loved everything during our short stay!

Thomas is a great hotel owner with an amazing boutique hotel experience. Everything is well thought out and the breakfast was amazing and beyond our expectations. If you've got a night to stay in Male, this is the place.

Male the capital of the Maldives is ready for a new style of hotels - a Boutique Hotel - that is different, feels different and is operated personal and individual with a touch of almost being at home.changes Due to ongoing and constant changes in rules, regulations and tax regulations the property reserves the right to charge all legal taxes that Maldives require to charge for hotels and restaurants even if not listed in this booking portal; changes in future taxes for already prepaid bookings will be charged and collected on site.
