Sea View Villa
Beachfront villas on a local Maldivian island, 74 km from Malé.
A place to stay on Ukulhas
Sea View Villa is a beachfront guest house on Ukulhas, a local island in the Maldives roughly 74 km from Malé, reached by seaplane. It runs three standalone villas — a Deluxe, a Superior, and a Family Suite — each with a private kitchenette, private bathroom, and a patio. The property has two restaurants serving continental, Asian, American, vegetarian, halal, and gluten-free options, plus a spa and wellness centre and a fitness centre. Beach access and an outdoor dining area round out the on-site setup. It holds a 4.6/5 Google rating across 50 reviews.
Who this stay suits
A small, independently run beachfront guest house on a local Maldivian island, with self-contained villas, two restaurants, and a spa — without the resort pricing.
Best for
- Couples wanting a private villa with beach access
- Families needing extra beds and kitchenette space
- Travellers curious about local island life
- Guests combining water activities with spa time
Less suited to
- Those who prefer large resort-scale facilities
- Travellers avoiding seaplane transfers
Beachfront setting on Ukulhas
The guest house sits directly on the beach at Ukulhas. There is a private beach area, a sun terrace, outdoor furniture, and a BBQ setup. The outdoor dining area means you can eat with the beach in front of you rather than inside.
Standalone villas with patios
Each villa functions as a self-contained unit — private kitchenette, private bathroom, and a patio. Views vary by villa: garden, inner courtyard, or landmark. The Family Suite at 20 m² is the largest of the three options.
Two restaurants on site
Sea View Villa runs two restaurants covering a broad dietary spread: continental, Asian, American, vegetarian, halal, and gluten-free. Having two distinct dining spaces on a small guest house is unusual for Ukulhas.
Spa and fitness centre
A spa and wellness centre and a fitness centre are both on the property. For a guest house at this price point, having both in one place gives visitors more to do between water activities.
Garden and outdoor spaces
Beyond the beach, the grounds include a garden, a picnic area, and an inner courtyard. The outdoor dining area and terrace extend the usable space considerably for a small property.

Getting there
Sea View Villa is on Ukulhas island, approximately 74 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. The transfer is by seaplane. Seaplanes in the Maldives run on daylight schedules only, so plan arrival and departure times accordingly and book your transfer when you confirm the room.
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.
Sea View Villa holds a 4.6/5 Google rating from 50 reviews. The property's highlights list singles out the location as highly rated by recent guests. Dining breadth — continental, vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, Asian, and American options — is specifically called out as a strength alongside the garden and landmark views.
- Broken or non-functional amenities: fridge not cooling, broken toilet seats, non-working TV, falling-apart electrical outlets
- Poor or inconsistent staff availability and communication, including slow WhatsApp responses from management
- Rooms described as outdated and in need of renovation; thin walls with noise bleed-through
- Payment disputes: guests charged above confirmed rates, cash-only or card surcharge policies, and unfavourable excursion exchange rates
“The breakfast guy made us feel like we were an inconvenience, eye rolls when I asked for milk with my tea. It honestly felt like they don't want tourists there.”
“It's located 40 seconds from the beach, the manager and all the staff are really helpful and nice. You can choose a different breakfast every day.”
“We were charged more than the price confirmed on our Booking reservation. The host refused to process payment through the platform.”
“Great location right beside the beach. Breakfast was really nice.”
