Arrival Beach and Spa is a 4-star guesthouse located on Gulhi Island, a local island in the Maldives. This peaceful haven is just 25-minute speedboat ride south of Malé International Airport.
Unlike the traditional "one island, one resort" model in the Maldives, Arrival Beach and Spa offers an excellent alternative for travelers seeking a more authentic and cost-effective Maldivian experience. Its prime location near the capital, Malé, adds to its value.
As a local guesthouse, it provides a distinct experience from luxury resorts. Guests have the chance to interact with local residents, immerse themselves in authentic Maldivian life, and explore local cafes and shops. The guesthouse also features its own private beach area, giving guests an exclusive space to relax. From here, you can easily access the beach at any time to enjoy the sun, sand, and clear waters.
Despite its more affordable pricing, the guesthouse still offers comfortable accommodations and essential resort amenities like a pool, restaurants, and a spa, along with convenient services. You can also participate in a wide range of activities, water sports, and excursions at reasonable costs.
