Hotel with 11 rooms in South Male Atoll

Iris Beach Residence is a small 11-room property in South Male Atoll, Maldives. It is part of No chain. The resort lists diving and snorkelling, watersports off the beach. This page is built from what Iris Beach Residence publishes rather than from a stay of our own. Ask us and we will tell you what we know and what we do not — including which room category is worth the difference in the month you are travelling.

What makes it itself

Why people choose it

  1. 01

    Diving and snorkelling

    Run from the resort, which matters here: the boat leaves from your own jetty rather than an hour up the coast.

  2. 02

    A small island

    11 rooms in total, so the beach never feels shared and the staff learn your name in a day or two.

The table

1 places to eat

  • Breakfast room

    Continental or Asian breakfast

In the water

Reef and diving

House reefGuraidhoo's own reef is visible from the rooms, and the island sits close to some of South Male's best water — guided snorkelling runs out to nearby reefs and manta cleaning stations

Worth knowing before you book

  • Information about the type of meals included in the price is indicated in the rate details.
  • Check-in from 14:00:00
  • This is an 11-room guesthouse on the local island of Guraidhoo, not a private-island resort — 30 minutes by speedboat from Male, with a village around it.
  • It suits independent travellers and divers who want the marine life without the resort; local-island rules on dress and alcohol apply.
