Leaf Fish Guesthouse
A beachfront base on Keyodhoo, with a house reef at the door.
A place to stay on Keyodhoo
Leaf Fish Guesthouse sits on Keyodhoo island in the Maldives, about 81 km from Malé. Rooms start at $144 per night and the property has a beachfront position with direct access to a house reef for snorkelling and diving. It is a small property — 20 Google reviews with a 4.8 rating — so expect a quieter, local-island atmosphere rather than a full resort setup. A kids' club is available for families travelling with children.

Getting there
Keyodhoo sits roughly 81 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. The transfer is by seaplane or domestic flight. Seaplanes generally operate during daylight hours only, so late arrivals may require an overnight in Malé before continuing to the island. Confirm transfer logistics with the guesthouse before travel.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
