Super friendly, safe, clean, quiet and with plenty of activities to choose from during the day.
Restaurants with different types of cuisines available and the food is really good. And great coffee.
Both beaches are absolutely stunning.
Baby sharks and other marine life are always visible from shore when walking around the island.

A very welcoming island and with such friendly locals.
A very welcoming island and with such friendly locals. It is a small island which is not that far from Male city or the airport by speedboat. There are some small restaurants and cafes that visitors can have snacks, drinks, tea and coffee. There are also many shops that sell everything visitors might need. Souvenir shops are also there and there are many items that can be bought at good prices. Cultural events are also there depending on the season and the occasions .

Gulhi island is perfect for tourists on budget.
Gulhi island is perfect for tourists on budget. We didn’t limit ourselves, we went on a couple of boat trips (which cost about 35-70$ per person) and bought whatever we needed (every meal was around 22$-36$), transfers cost around 25-35$ on a speed boat and 2$ on a public transport. All the restaurants, hotels and some shops accept dollars. The only disadvantage of the island, in my opinion, is that especially during low tide, the water in the ocean is knee-deep. Regardless of that the bikini beach is very clean and the corals are beautiful. Also I would suggest bringing fins with you because sometimes the current was really strong and renting them costs 5$.

Nice & cozy small island.
Nice & cozy small island. You can find local & western food over here & they are serving nice coffee over here. Friendly locals is making you feel welcome to the Island. Walking at the beach and swimming in the sea is the 2 common activities over there. Lying on the beach chair & watching sun set is really enjoyable.
Well, we spend 7 days at this island. Gulhi island got smal but very nice beach with white sand and palm trees. Water is very shallow. Mr Jalil recepcionist at Pearlshine Retreat Maldives deserves all my respect for hospitality. Very nice and professional person. People on the island are friendly. Our room is economy withou balcony and we did not expected more. Good valye for money. Recomendation for food at restoran Ayala (hotel is the same name). Do not miss meal with fish, fresh and teasty.
Staff are really friendly and helpful, I had a real good time talking to them. They explained to me everything and helped me getting a speedboat to get to another island which was hard to get one.
The room was so clean and nice. Also, the view was nice with big balcony.
Gulhi island where is the hotel , it is small Island but good for relaxation, quiet time and walking around the Island without shoes above its soft white sand
Gulhi Island... A very peaceful island to stay at...
I stayed at Ilaa Beach hotel. It was a comfortable stay with the most humble staff.
Oney , Atik and Amjad were very generous. They ensured that we were comfortable and happy.
Right from the room to the transportation and food was taken care by them.
It was a very homely feeling. Thank you Ilaa Beach Maldives for a wonderful experience. You guys are amazing 🙂
The room was clean and the hotel was in a great location, but what really made our stay great was Saif.
He met us off the boat with his wheelbarrow.
He was always there to greet us for breakfast with a smile and a positive comment to start the day.
He would always go out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and showed a real interest in his guests.
He is a credit to your establishment.
Who needs to enjoy their stay in gulhi to the max they must stay at this hotel which is compared to other hotels in different island with this kind of service and luxury it is cheaper yet better and cozier than any other place we stayed in ( it was the best hotel we stayed in)… special thanks to the hotel staff and restaurant staff because they were very welcoming,helpful and friendly.
The hotel is really nice, the staff is amazing specially (Alam) made our experience so special, the Hotel lagoon is so nice and its perfect for snorkeling, finally the spa was amazing and I highly recommend to book the second category of overwater villas if you don’t need a pool as you can access the lagoon immediately.
Anantara is always a perfect choice all over the world,, and here in Maldives is amazing
Staff is so kind and helpful,, rooms are clean ,, and a variety of food Italian,, Thai ,, seafood and Japanese restaurants ,,, they really take care of me and my family,,, it is a good choice to relax and enjoy ur time
The hotel was amazing. We would like to thank to Sohel who was really helpful, disposable, protective and sympathetic. It was the first time someone was so kind to us, so we will choose this hotel again and will definitely recommend it to our friends!
Thank you Sohel!!!
Jalil went above and beyond for us and provided us with a unforgettable experience. The hotel is very clean and nicely located. By far the best value for money in the Maldives. Activities organized by them were also amazing. Got to swim with turtles and dolphins
Wow. A perfect 9 days in Gulhi. Absolutely perfect hotel. Amazing food, eating right on the water. The owner and staff were incredibly kind and helpful. One of my favorite places ever. Just wish I had more time. A must stay!
Everything was fine, bikini beach is in 5 minutes from hotel, very good host and personnel, cheerful and helpful all the time. Excursions are available as well. We went to see sharks and for snorkeling. Highly recommended!
It was a small but comfy bedroom, clean and the hotel has a great location, very close by the bikini beach . Both the manager and the receptionist were attentive and kind . I would definitely go back soon 😀
The location of the hotel was excellent. Comfy beds and well equipped rooms. Staff were excellent and residents of Gulhi very friendly. Some good restaurants on the island which was necessary for our stay.
Breakfasts were great, also great service of staffs. Hotel is very friendly and all people are helpful. Great beach close to Hotel. Room was clean every day. Transfers and trips were managed perfectly.
A beautiful big room and bathroom, more like a cabin, cool and comfortable. The beach was seconds away with sunbeds and umbrellas just there for hotel guests only. It is very quiet.
The hotel staff(a srilankan gentleman)was so kind to us, arranged to provide us everything we needed in the room. Very supportive & cordial. Awesome stay to live in Gulhi.
