White Beach Holiday
Sixteen beachfront apartments facing Hulhumalé's eastern sunrise.
A city stay in Hulhumalé
White Beach Holiday is a boutique-style guest house on Hulhumalé's eastern beachfront, with 16 apartment units positioned for year-round sunrise views over the water. The complex runs from a one-bedroom sea-view apartment up to a three-bedroom family suite, and several units have their own private pool terrace. The property sits roughly 4 km from Velana International Airport, reachable by taxi over the Sinamalé Bridge. A restaurant, free breakfast, room service, and a swimming pool with sea views are among the on-site facilities.
The honest verdict
A family-oriented beachfront apartment stay on Hulhumalé with private kitchens, optional pool suites, and easy airport access — not a remote-island resort experience.
Best for
- Families needing multi-room layouts
- Travellers who want an early airport connection
- Couples wanting a private pool without a full resort price
- First-time Maldives visitors based near Malé
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers seeking a remote atoll or overwater villa
- Those wanting an alcohol-inclusive resort
Eastern beachfront position
The complex sits directly on Hulhumalé's eastern shore. All 16 units face the water, and the orientation means unobstructed sunrise light from the rooms and balconies each morning.
Private pool suites
The Suite with Private Pool is a 69 m² apartment with its own pool terrace, a 300-degree view, and a private balcony. It sleeps up to three and includes a private kitchen and ensuite bathroom.
Apartment-scale space
Every unit has a private kitchen, balcony, and ensuite or private bathroom. The Two-Bedroom and Three-Bedroom suites run to 69 m², giving families room to spread out rather than stack into a single hotel room.
On-site pool with sea views
Separate from the private pool suites, the property has a shared swimming pool that looks out over the water. It is an alternative to the beachfront for guests who want to swim without heading into the sea.

Inside White Beach Holiday
Getting there
White Beach Holiday sits on Hulhumalé, approximately 4 km from Velana International Airport. Transfer is by taxi over the Sinamalé Bridge — a short road journey rather than a boat ride. An airport shuttle is available from the property at an extra charge. The front desk operates around the clock to help coordinate arrivals.
An airport taxi is inexpensive — typically MVR 60–100 (about $4–8) on the fixed fares, taking 10–20 minutes; the public airport shuttle bus costs even less. No ferry or speedboat is needed — the islands are connected to the airport by road.
