Thulusdhoo Island: the natural beauty
Thulusdhoo is the capital of the Kaafu Atoll and a heaven on earth for those who, aside from an airplane, also like to pilot a surfboard. Unlike many Maldivian islands, which are covered by the most luxurious hotels and resorts, Thulusdhoo can offer you its natural, dreamy beauty. In case your selected resort does not offer you an alternative, Thulusdhoo can be reached by an hour-and-a-half ferry ride from Malé.
Hulhumale Island: for lovers of fun and shopping
The uniqueness of Hulhumale lays in its man-made origin. Located in the North Malé Atoll, it is the exact opposite of the above mentioned Thulusdhoo Island. Hulhumale has a much more commercial character being home to numerous hotels, shops, and restaurants. If you're ever hungry for some spending, fun and drinking fancy cocktails while dipping your toes in the warm sand, Hulhumale is your ideal weekend spot.
Omadhoo: discover the local culture
Being part of the South Ari Atoll, this quiet island is home to a village of about 800 inhabitants. Only recently has it started to develop tourist offerings. If you are interested in learning more about the authentic Maldivian culture, head here!
Lovers of long beach walks will appreciate the quiet, never-ending sandbanks and views of the crystal-clear water. If you're lucky, you might spot turtles, schools of different fish species, or even whale sharks.
Dhigurah Island: observe the wildlife
We will remain in the South Ari Atoll for now, as it has one more gem we would like to mention: about 60 miles from the main island of Malé lies the Dhigurah Island. It is well known for whale shark sightings, amazing diving spots, and beaches so heavenly you'll never want to leave them.
The picturesque sand-stretches of Dhigurah are a popular gathering spot of sea turtles and different species of colorful fish. So if you're lucky, you might even grab a few rare pictures of them!
