The G Ten Holiday Inn
A solid Male base with beach access and breakfast included.
A stay in Male
The G Ten Holiday Inn is a 3-star guest house in the Male Atoll, about 3 km from the airport by speedboat. Rooms start at $65 a night and include free breakfast, which is rare at this price point in the Maldives. The property has a spa and a kids' club, beach access, free parking, and allows pets. A cafe sits practically on the doorstep, and several restaurants are within 150 metres. It is a practical, affordable option for travellers who want to stay near Male without committing to a resort.
The honest verdict
A compact, no-frills guest house with useful inclusions — free breakfast, beach access, and a spa — at budget-friendly rates close to Male airport.
Best for
- Budget-conscious travellers
- Families with young children
- Short stays near Male airport
- Pet owners
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers wanting an overwater villa experience
- Those seeking resort-scale dining on-site
- Remote island seclusion seekers
Free breakfast every morning
Breakfast is included in the room rate, which is uncommon at this price in the Maldives. It removes one daily cost and one logistical decision, especially useful for families or early-departure guests.
Beach access and a spa
The property has direct beach access and an on-site spa. For a guest house in Male Atoll, both are genuine additions rather than standard fixtures at this category and price.
Dining within walking distance
TidBit Cafe is 10 metres away. Banana Leaf, Pilawoos Hulhumale, Matham Raidhaan, and several others are all within 130 metres. You are not dependent on in-house dining.
Kids' club on the premises
A dedicated kids' club is available, which is uncommon in guest houses of this size. Family rooms are also listed among the facilities, making it a workable choice for parents with young children.
Pets allowed
The G Ten accepts pets, which rules out most Maldivian resorts and many guest houses as alternatives. Free parking is also available, practical for longer stays or local residents.
