he guest house sector in the Maldives is rapidly emerging as a lucrative segment within the tourism market. For local residents, hotel investors, or private island owners, a critical question often arises:
How can I develop a property more affordably, complete construction faster, and begin generating revenue as soon as possible?
As a global provider of prefabricated building systems with a presence in over 60 countries, Deepblue Smarthouse has been assisting developers in the Maldives in addressing this exact challenge—with remarkable outcomes.
What’s the Profit Potential of a 20-Room Guest House?
Consider this simplified projection:
- Number of rooms: 20
- Average occupancy rate: 70%
- Average nightly rate: $80
Annual revenue = 20 rooms × 365 days × 70% × $80 ≈ $408,800
That’s promising—until you account for two critical constraints:
- If construction takes 12 months, you lose a full year of potential income.
- If building costs run at $1,200/m², your return on investment is delayed significantly.
In this context, delays and high costs aren’t just operational issues—they directly eat into your profits.
