About this stay

Arriving at Araaik Beach Village involves a domestic flight to Hoarafushi, followed by a short speedboat transfer, setting the tone for a tranquil island escape in the northern Haa Alifu Atoll. The village is designed around its private beach, offering guests direct access to the sand and the clear waters of the Indian Ocean.

Villas here are set right on the beach, each featuring a private balcony where you can enjoy sea or garden views. Inside, air-conditioning, private bathrooms, and streaming services ensure comfort after a day of exploration. The house reef is easily accessible for snorkeling, revealing vibrant marine life just steps from the shore.

The ambiance is relaxed and family-friendly, with a restaurant catering to various dietary needs, including halal, vegetarian, and vegan options, serving Indian, Italian, Thai, and local dishes. Beyond the beach, guests can join yoga classes, walking tours, or unwind in spa and wellness treatments.

Our take

I would consider Araaik Beach Village for a simple guesthouse stay in Haa Alifu Atoll, far from the resort circuit. Beachfront villas have private balconies and direct access to a private beach area, the house reef is good for snorkelling, and there is a spa and a restaurant serving international and local food. Hoarafushi has its own airport with flights from Malé. With a single review, the 8.0 rating says little yet.

  • ✓Take advantage of the house reef for snorkeling; it's easily accessible and full of marine life.
  • ✓Explore the diverse menu at the family-friendly restaurant, especially the local Maldivian dishes.
  • ✓Consider joining a walking tour to experience the local culture of Hoarafushi island.

Beachfront villas have private balconies and open onto a private beach area, the house reef offers snorkelling, and the restaurant serves international and local dishes, a useful mix with children.
