EQUATOR RETREAT

Equator Retreat is our cozy home base in the heart of Fuvahmulah - a laid-back apartment-style boutique hotel with just 12 rooms spread across 4 floors, making it feel more like a peaceful island hideaway than a resort.

The rooms are comfy and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need after long salty days in the water. Each room comes with an attached private bathroom, and guests share a spacious common living area, kitchen, and laundry space - perfect for making yourself at home during your stay.

Surrounded by tropical greenery and just a short ride from the beach and some of our most iconic dive sites, it’s the perfect place to truly slow down, feel at home, and focus on what you came here for: the ocean.

    OCEAN PEARL HOTEL

    With 26 modern, air-conditioned rooms, free Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, cable TV, and all the little touches you need to unwind, this boutique stay gives you space to breathe after full days in the ocean. Whether you’re traveling solo, with a partner, or bringing the whole crew, there’s a room that fits - including a spacious 4-bed suite for groups.

    The rooftop pool is the highest point on the island - and trust us, you’ll want to float there at sunset. From up top, the views stretch over Fuvahmulah’s green palms and out to the endless blue. Or walk just a few minutes to Thoondu Beach, where soft white sand meets crystal-clear water.
