This is BY FAR The Best Island of the MALDIVES! 😱🏝️ Guide to PARADISE on a Budget

If you think the Maldives is only for billionaires, think again. In this travel guide, we take you to Gulhi Island, a hidden gem that offers a 5-star experience on a backpacker budget. Gulhi is famous for having the most incredible turquoise waters and is located just a 30-minute speedboat ride from Malé, making it the perfect getaway without the long travel times.

Why Gulhi in the South Malé Atoll should be on your bucket list:
- Shark Paradise: Gulhi is the absolute best island for shark lovers! From the famous "Shark Point" at the harbor to seeing black tip reef sharks and nurse sharks right from the beach.
- Incredible Marine Life: Experience a vibrant underwater world with bizarre, colorful coral, giant moray eels, sea turtles, and rare fish you won't find anywhere else.
- Super Clean & Picturesque: The island is remarkably well-kept, with "Bikini Beaches" that rival any private resort.
- Luxury on a Budget: Stay in cozy local guesthouses for around $60 a night, while being right next to 5-star resorts like Dhigu that cost over $1,000 per night! You get the same ocean, the same sun, but for a fraction of the price.

Join us as we explore the cozy streets, eat the best pizza at La Vista, and dive into the crystal-clear "natural swimming pool" that surrounds this island. Whether you’re traveling with kids or backpacking the world, Gulhi is paradise found.
