    Yappo & his whole team were amazing. So friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Roy’s cooking was incredible. The rooftop restaurant has great views. Room was spacious & bright with a/c & ceiling fan. Small gym free for guests. Probably the closest guesthouse to bikini beach - approx 400m.

    A very clean and beautiful guest house. Each and every staff was very friendly and courteous. I was accompanied by my old parents. The staff took extra care to see that they were comfortable. They were accommodated in the ground floor. Vegetarian options in the country of Maldives are very limited, but the Indian Chef at the guest house, cooked rice and dal for my parents, who were pure vegetarians, while the rest enjoyed the delicious non-vegetarian fare. Since I had a gluten allergy, I was exclusively provided with a gluten free oatmeal breakfast. The guesthouse is a walking distance from the beach and there are shops and cafes nearby. The staff took us to the beaches in buggies whenever my parents were too tired Everything was arranged for us according to the different ages and tastes in our group. The youngsters were happy that the guest house had a gym right outside their room. Snorkeling, Scuba diving, Kayaking, the sun set cruise, driving us to places selling Maldivian curios, the staff ensured that we enjoyed it all. Thank you, Raseel, Yappo, Aniket Roy, Parvez, Rahim (Excuse me for missing out names or spelling them wrong) for a wonderful vacation.

    Fish and chips not like how it is at home. rained on a couple of days. Not really the fault of the Guesthouse.

    Roof top terrace with views of the open ocean, serving traditional Maldivian and continental breakfast options. Chefs happy to customise according to individual preferences.

    Beautiful and Memorable Stay at Wish

    I liked and appreciated that Ismail and Raseel arranged our pick up from Male and were kind enough to organize storage for our rather large amounts of luggage while we waited for the speed boat which allowed us some time to look around Male before heading to Huraa. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived until we left, with pickup from the speedboat, super friendly service, very delicious meals prepared by Roy and team (the whole fish was especially exceptional), and drop off at the boat when we left. In general the staff was always very kind, professional and ready to help whenever we needed something. And of course I liked Wish's proximity to the beach, the breathtaking views from the rooms and the rooftop restaurant. We would definitely stay here again.

    It’s not beachfront, but has a wonderful ocean view from the rooftop restaurant. The beach is just a short walk away. There are lounge chairs and umbrellas free to use there. The guest house provides nice beach towels.

    The manager, Yappo, called me the night before to check on my arrival time. He let me know how to get to the proper boat and made the reservation on the boat for me. He had a ride waiting for me at the dock to bring me to the guesthouse. It was enormously appreciated! I was welcomed with a tasty beverage. My room was very cute and extremely comfortable. I loved the comfy bed! The linens and towels were sparkling white and very nice. Everything was very clean and well cared for. There is a cozy lounge area in the 3rd floor and a small gym on the second floor. All of the staff were very helpful. The food in the restaurant was wonderful, especially the lobster caught just for me! The manager arranged a snorkeling trip and I saw many black tip reef sharks. Any need I had was well met. I’m so happy I booked Wish Guesthouse!

    the only thing I didn’t like was that I didn’t stay here sooner on my trip !

    the food was delicious with a good variety to choose from, several stores very close by as well. don’t forget sunscreen…. the sun is very spicy haha the staff were the friendliest I’ve ever experienced in my travels, very helpful with any and everything, and making suggestions about things around the island I otherwise wouldn’t have known about ! the room smelled very clean from the moment I walked in, everything was in great shape and well taken care of. they make the guests their priority and it really shows ! I didn’t have a picture of the lobby so I added one of the terrace on the roof where you dine. and then one of me at the beach nearby lol

    Wish Guesthouse is a really beautiful and quite place perfect to enjoy and disconnect during your vacation! One of the best things is the rooftop where you can eat enjoying the views. Even we went during Ramadan, they provide us with the option to have food for non-Muslim people. Either the breakfast and the dinner food were really good, and the staff was always very friendly and attentive! We also really enjoy the gym area in front of our room with street views :)

    The best guesthouse on the best Maldivian Island

    Nothing to complain about, seriously. It's crazy. Almost unbelievable. But true 😍

    We loved absolutely everything about Wish guesthouse, from the moment we landed on Huraa yapo was there to greet us and help with luggage, the hotel is absolutely beautiful and super clean with a great view from the terrace, the food was well priced and by far the best food we've had in the Maldives so far. We only had time for one night on Huraa but honestly we were so sad we didn't stay here for the entire duration of our 14 days in the Maldives. All of the staff were amazing from start to finish going above and beyond. The island itself was so peaceful and the people were so kind and warm (All of the Maldivian people are known for their friendliness and hospitality but Huraas populace was on another level).another niche on this island is the mangrove forest which is a magical place with an abundance of biodiversity (mud crabs, Black finned reef sharks in the swamp around the bridge, loads of huge hermit crabs on the forest floor and some flightless birds which I couldn't identify) We can't wait to come back with our children soon 🏝️❤️
