Galaxy Sunrise Guesthouse
A beachfront base on a real Maldivian island
A local-island guesthouse on Fulidhoo
Galaxy Sunrise is a guest house on Fulidhoo, a small island roughly 58 km from Velana International Airport. The property sits on the beachfront and has a restaurant, a sun terrace, a garden, and BBQ facilities. The room rate starts at around USD 105 per night. Fulidhoo is a local island, which means daily life here is Maldivian rather than resort-packaged — a different kind of stay from the all-inclusive atolls.

Best for

Maybe not ideal for
