Dhiffushi

Dhiffushi, a charming island in North Male' Atoll, is a great choice for travelers seeking a peaceful and affordable escape. With a population of just over a thousand, the island provides a tranquil setting where you can immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Maldives.

There’s plenty to do on Dhiffushi Island, whether you prefer unwinding on the pristine white sand beaches, sampling local cuisine at island restaurants, or snorkeling in the vibrant underwater world. While staying at a guest house here may not offer the same luxury as a 5-star resort, it brings its own unique appeal with an adventurous and genuine Maldivian holiday experience.

Another big plus of Dhiffushi is its easy accessibility from Male'. Located close enough for a speedboat ride, this means visitors save significantly on transfer costs, unlike the more expensive domestic flights or seaplane transfers needed for distant resorts. The speedboat ride from Male' to Dhiffushi takes around 50 minutes, with plenty of operators offering shared transfers for about $35 per person each way, making it an ideal option for budget-conscious travelers.
