Maldives Island Hopper — Maafushi & Thulusdhoo

  • Maldives, Maldives
  • 5 Nights / 6 Days
  • Beach & Islands
  • Adventure
  • Weekend Getaway

Overview

The affordable Maldives on local islands, with a resort day pass, whale-shark snorkelling and surf breaks off Thulusdhoo.

The Maldives without the resort premium. Local islands opened to tourism in 2009 and now have proper guesthouses, dive centres and restaurants at roughly a third of resort prices.

You stay on Maafushi and Thulusdhoo, snorkel with whale sharks and manta rays in South Ari Atoll, and buy a day pass to a five-star resort island so you still get the overwater-villa photographs.

Local islands are inhabited communities, so beachwear is limited to the designated bikini beach and alcohol is not served on the islands themselves. Worth knowing before you book.
