Cozy Roots Fuvahmulah

Cozy Roots Fuvahmulah is an eleven-room hotel on Fuvahmulah, the one-island atoll in the far south of the Maldives, with an infinity pool and sun deck on its roof. Every price includes the room, your meal plan, the return domestic flight from Malé and every Maldivian tax.

It suits divers and couples who want a simple, clean room and a pool to come back to. Fuvahmulah is best known for tiger sharks, seen by divers all year round, and the hotel is a short walk from town.

What you pay

There are two room types, both about 14.5 square metres. The Double Bedroom has one double bed for couples. The Twin Bed Room has two single beds, for friends or family sharing. They cost the same, so choose by the beds you want. Prices shown cover two people, and rooms sleep two; there is no space for an extra bed.

Half board adds dinner and comes to about a twelfth more than bed and breakfast on a three-night stay. Full board adds lunch as well, about a sixth more.

What's included, and what isn't

In the price: your room, the meals you pick, the return domestic flight between Malé and Fuvahmulah with the airport pickup and drop, use of the rooftop pool and deck, and every Maldivian tax, green tax included.

Not in the price: your international flights, travel insurance, Indian TCS, diving and other excursions, and anything not named above.

Who this isn't for

Anyone who wants a drink. Fuvahmulah is an inhabited island and no alcohol is served on it.

Anyone who wants space. The rooms are compact, and the pool on the roof is where you spread out.

Short trips. Fuvahmulah is a domestic flight from Malé, so three nights leaves little time once you have flown in and out.

Before you book

The domestic flight takes about an hour and 25 minutes. It leaves Velana at 15:05 or 23:15 and comes back from Fuvahmulah at 05:00 or 16:55, and check-in opens two hours before. Land in Malé by about 13:00 for the afternoon flight, or by about 21:00 for the late one. Airline schedules can change, so we confirm the flight for your dates. The baggage allowance is 25 kg checked and 5 kg hand luggage.

Children under two stay free in the parents' bed. Children from two to eleven sharing the bed are charged a supplement, which we add when you tell us who is travelling.

A 30% deposit is kept if you cancel. From 14 to 7 days before arrival half the stay is charged, and from 6 days or a no-show the full stay.

Rooms have air-conditioning, a private bathroom, Wi-Fi, a mini fridge and a safe. Check-in is at 14:00 and check-out at 12:00.

Send us your dates, who is travelling and when you land. We will come back within 24 hours with the right room, the flight that fits your arrival and one price for the stay.
