Hedheykuri Residence
A well-rated base on one of the Maldives' most remote islands.
A place to stay on Fuvahmulah
Hedheykuri Residence is a guest house on Fuvahmulah, a single-island atoll roughly 500 km from Malé in the far south of the Maldives. It holds a 4.9/5 Google rating across 82 reviews. Rooms are compact and practical, each with a private kitchen, private bathroom, and air conditioning. Some face the garden or inner courtyard; several have a terrace. Rates start at $69 per night, making it one of the more affordable ways to spend time on an island that gets very few visitors by Maldivian standards.
The honest verdict
A small, clean guest house with self-catering kitchens and genuine access to a rarely visited island — without resort-style facilities.
Best for
- Independent travellers exploring Fuvahmulah
- Small families or groups wanting kitchen access
- Divers and snorkellers arranging local excursions
- Budget-conscious visitors to the southern atolls
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers wanting a full-service resort experience
- Those seeking a short or easy trip from Malé
Rooms with terraces and courtyard views
Several rooms open onto a terrace or look out over an inner courtyard. The garden-facing rooms add a bit of greenery, and the property has outdoor furniture and a sun terrace — useful on an island with a climate this warm.
Private kitchens in every room
Every room at Hedheykuri Residence has its own kitchen with a stovetop, oven, toaster, electric kettle, and kitchenware. A washing machine and tumble dryer are also available, which matters on a longer stay this far from the tourist trail.
A garden and outdoor space
The property has a garden, terrace, and outdoor furniture. It's a straightforward setup rather than landscaped grounds, but the outdoor areas give the place room to breathe compared with tighter guesthouses in the Maldives.
