Galaxy Sunrise Guesthouse
A beachfront base on a real Maldivian island
A local-island guesthouse on Fulidhoo
Galaxy Sunrise Guesthouse sits on the shore of Fulidhoo, a small island about 58 km from Malé in the Maldives. It is a straightforward guest house with a beachfront position, a restaurant, and access to the kind of activities — snorkelling, diving, fishing — that draw people to this part of the country. Rooms are compact and practical. The setting is the main draw: Fulidhoo is a local island with genuine character, and the guest house puts you close to the water without the price tag of a private-island resort.
Who this stay suits
A no-frills beachfront guest house on a local Maldivian island, suited to travellers who want sea access and island life at a modest price point.
Best for
- Budget-conscious couples or small groups
- Travellers curious about local island culture
- Snorkellers and divers on a flexible schedule
- Families wanting a simple beach base
Less suited to
- Travellers expecting resort-level facilities
- Those wanting alcohol on-site
Right on the beach
The guest house has a beachfront position on Fulidhoo. A sun terrace, a garden terrace, and BBQ facilities sit outside, giving guests somewhere to spend time between the water and the room without leaving the property.
Sea-view rooms facing the water
The Standard Triple Room looks directly out to sea. At 25 m², it is compact but includes air conditioning, a private bathroom with free toiletries, a refrigerator, and an electric kettle — enough for a comfortable stay.
Water sports and local culture
The guest house arranges snorkelling, diving, canoeing, fishing, and cultural tours through local operators. Water sport facilities are also available on site. Fulidhoo's reef and surrounding waters are the primary reason most guests make the journey here.

How to get there
Fulidhoo is roughly 58 km from Malé, and the journey is made by seaplane. Once on the island, the guest house runs a free shuttle service. Fulidhoo is a local island, so you arrive into a working community rather than a private resort landing strip.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
