Tropic Tree Maldives — Affordable Charm on a Local Maldivian Island
Discover a side of the Maldives that few travellers get to see — genuine, unhurried, and wonderfully affordable. Tropic Tree Maldives is a cosy, 12-room guesthouse nestled on Gulhi, a real local island just a 25-minute speedboat ride (21km) from Velana International Airport (MLE) in Malé — close enough for easy transfers, yet worlds away from the crowds.
Each room is thoughtfully and tastefully furnished, and some rooms have a balcony with access to a shared rooftop terrace — the perfect spot to watch the sea by day and count stars in an unpolluted night sky after dark. Every room comes fully air-conditioned with an en-suite bathroom, TV, free Wi-Fi, an in-room safe, and a mini fridge, so comfort never gets in the way of your island escape.
Start your day, or wind it down, at Tropic Platter, our in-house restaurant set in a garden area on the ground floor, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Adventure is always within reach: our team can arrange island-hopping excursions, a visit to the capital Malé, fishing trips, cruising, surfing, diving and snorkelling, a barbecue on a sand bank, a trip to a picnic island, dolphin watching and a full menu of water sports — perfect for capturing unforgettable photos and memories.
Getting here is easy: Gulhi is just a 25-minute speedboat ride from the international airport, or about 1 hour 30 minutes by the daily public ferry from Malé.
Come stay at Tropic Tree Maldives for a true taste of local Maldivian island life — beautiful, laid-back, and within everyone's reach, without giving up a single modern comfort.
