Green Vista
A straightforward base on one of Maafushi's most walkable streets.
A local-island guesthouse on Maafushi
Green Vista is a bed & breakfast on Maafushi, a local island roughly 28 km from Velana International Airport. The property has a terrace, a garden, air conditioning throughout, and free on-site parking — a practical setup for travellers who want a simple, affordable base rather than an all-in resort stay. Maafushi itself is one of the Maldives' most developed local islands, with dining and cafés within a short walk of the property. Continental and buffet breakfast is available, and the surrounding island has enough going on that guests rarely need to travel far for a meal or a coffee.
The honest verdict
A no-frills bed & breakfast with the basics covered — private bathroom, WiFi, air conditioning, breakfast, and free parking — in a walkable part of Maafushi.
Best for
- Budget-conscious travellers
- Couples or solo visitors exploring Maafushi
- Guests who prefer local island life over resort isolation
- Families needing a straightforward, non-smoking stay
Maybe not ideal for
- Those wanting a pool or beach on the property
- Travellers seeking a full-service resort experience
Terrace and garden
The property has both a terrace and a garden — useful outdoor space for sitting out without leaving the grounds. For a bed & breakfast at this price level on a local island, having any private outdoor area is a genuine plus.
Location on Maafushi
Several restaurants and cafés sit within 200 metres of Green Vista. Haleem Club is about 60 metres away, Sapphire café roughly 80 metres, and a handful of other dining spots — Harbour Cafe, Kaalamaa, Summer Kitchen & Bakery, and Palm café — are all under 200 metres.
Breakfast included
Continental and buffet breakfast is served on-site. It covers the morning without requiring guests to head out before they're ready, though Maafushi's café scene means alternatives are easy to find if you prefer variety.
Parking and practical extras
Free on-site parking is available — uncommon on a small island and useful for guests arriving with transport. Rooms are air-conditioned and non-smoking throughout the property.
