Noah Private Beach House
Surf, eat, sleep — right on Himmafushi's beach.
A place to stay on Himmafushi
Noah Private Beach House sits on the beach at Himmafushi Island, about 14 km from Velana International Airport and roughly a 15-minute speedboat ride away. It runs 18 rooms across five categories, all with private bathrooms and hot water. The guest house is built around surfing, particularly the Jailbreaks break, and puts together dedicated surf packages. There is an in-house dining space serving buffet and à la carte meals, with the option to eat outdoors or under the open sky.

Best for
- Surfers targeting Jailbreaks, Sultans, and Honkys

- Travellers who want organised water-sport excursions
Maybe not ideal for
- Those expecting full resort facilities
- Travellers wanting an alcohol-inclusive stay
Beachfront position on Himmafushi
The guest house sits directly on Himmafushi's beach, a local island rather than a private resort island. That puts the water immediately accessible and keeps the atmosphere grounded in everyday Maldivian island life.
Surf access and packages
The guest house organises surf packages built around Jailbreaks, one of the most consistent breaks in the country. An 8-day package includes five full days surfing Jailbreaks, Sultans, and Honkys, plus access to hidden reefs.
In-house dining, indoors and out
A ground-floor dining area handles both buffet and à la carte meals prepared by the property's own chef. Guests can eat inside, on the terrace, or under the stars. Private dining is also available on request.
Rooms with balconies and sea views
All 18 rooms have a private balcony. Sea-view options face the water directly; the largest category, the Deluxe Family room, runs to 62 m² with a terrace and soundproofing.
