Island hopping

Between two islandsMaafushi & Dhigurah

Two completely different worlds in one trip: the lively, social island energy of Maafushi and the raw, untouched beauty of Dhigurah. Snorkelling with turtles, rays and reef sharks, sandbank lunches, and — if the ocean feels like it — whale sharks.

Day by day

Between two islands

  1. Arrival

    Malé → Maafushi

    You’ll land at Velana International Airport and we’ll take a speedboat to Maafushi, around 35–40 minutes. After settling in, we’ll take a walk around the island before having our first dinner together as a group.

  2. Day 2

    Our first reef

    Our first snorkelling trip around Maafushi! We’ll explore the reef, look for turtles and spend some time in the water. Later, we’ll head to a sandbank for lunch — turquoise water all around us and nothing but soft white sand.

  3. Day 3

    Nurse sharks & Fulidhoo

    We’ll spend the day out on the ocean, looking for nurse sharks before stopping at Fulidhoo, a beautiful local island with its own laid-back rhythm. We’ll have lunch on the island before heading back to Maafushi.

  4. Day 4

    Free day

    No plans today. Sleep in, relax on the beach or join one of the optional trips — spend the day at a luxury resort or explore one of the nearby local islands. Completely up to you.

  5. Day 5

    The crossing to Dhigurah

    Today we continue south to Dhigurah. Keep your eyes on the water — we’ll be looking out for whale sharks and manta rays along the way. We’ll also stop at a remote island for lunch, far from the usual tourist spots.

  6. Days 6–7

    Dhigurah, slowly

    Two days to simply enjoy Dhigurah. Long white-sand beaches, clear water, snorkelling and plenty of time to do absolutely nothing. Join an activity, go for a swim or just find your spot on the beach and stay there.

  7. Departure

    One last slow morning on Dhigurah and breakfast before we say goodbye and take the transfer back to the airport.

The other ways to go

A quiet sandy path lined with palm trees on Fehendhoo Local island

Fehendhoo

A small, quiet island where life slows down and nature takes over. Think empty beaches, palm trees, and days shaped by the ocean — snorkeling, sandbanks, and peaceful sunsets. Perfect if you want to disconnect, breathe deeper, and experience the Maldives in its most raw and authentic form.

Under the surface

Rasdhoo

A lively little island surrounded by some of the Maldives’ best waters. Rasdhoo is all about ocean adventures — swimming with turtles, manta rays and sharks, exploring sandbanks, fishing with locals, and discovering the underwater world. A perfect mix of island life, wild nature, and adventure, with plenty of time to slow down and enjoy the local way of life.

Back to Yourself

Seven days on Fehendhoo to reconnect with yourself. With your body. With your thoughts. With what really matters to you. Through movement, the ocean, adventure, conversation and time for yourself, we make space to slow down, to hear yourself again and to discover how much you are capable of — perhaps more than you think right now. Some of it you may never have known you could do. And some of it you simply forgot along the way. This is a week for coming back to yourself.
