Under the surface
Some islands are made for exploring above the water. Rasdhoo is the kind you’ll want to discover below it.
Surrounded by vibrant reefs and some of the Maldives’ most exciting marine life, this trip takes us into the blue in search of turtles, manta rays, sharks and everything in between.
And between all the adventures? Slow mornings, fresh food, salty skin and nowhere you need to be.
A trip for those who want to experience the Maldives beyond the postcard — one ocean adventure and one island moment at a time.
Day by day
Once you land at Velana International Airport, we’ll make our way to Rasdhoo. Once we have checked in, we’ll take a walk around the island, get our first feel for local life and finish the day with our first dinner together — the perfect way to start our week together.
No plans today — and that’s exactly the point. Take a slow morning, explore Rasdhoo, relax on the beach or head out for an optional adventure. Today is all about settling into island time and enjoying a slower day.
Today we’re heading out to meet some of the ocean’s most iconic locals — turtles! We’ll spend the day in the water, exploring the reef and enjoying the incredible marine life around Rasdhoo before heading back to our little island life.
One of the days we’ve been waiting for! We’ll head out into the blue in search of manta rays and reef sharks, exploring some of Rasdhoo’s incredible underwater spots along the way. Colourful reefs, wild encounters and plenty of time in the water — with the ocean always keeping a few surprises up its sleeve.
Another day to enjoy Rasdhoo at your own pace — or add a little adventure. If you’re craving more ocean time, you can join an optional scuba diving trip.
Fancy a little resort life? You can spend the day at a beautiful Maldivian resort, swimming, relaxing on the beach and enjoying that postcard-perfect island feeling. If you’d rather stay here, you can enjoy Rasdhoo, visit Ukulhas — another local island — try some water sports or simply enjoy a slow beach day.
In the afternoon, we’ll head out for a traditional fishing experience and watch the sun go down from the boat.
Our final full day is yours to choose. Go for one last ocean adventure, discover another side of local island life, visit a resort, try some water sports or simply enjoy a slow beach day.
In the evening, we’ll come together for our farewell dinner — the perfect way to finish a week of ocean adventures, island life and new friendships.
After breakfast, it’s time to check out and say goodbye to Rasdhoo. One last walk, one last look at that blue water and then we’ll make our way back to the airport, hearts full of memories and feet full of sand.
Accommodation details

The other ways to go
Local island
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.

Island hopping
A dynamic island-hopping trip combining social island vibes with wild ocean experiences. Swim with turtles, sharks, and (if we’re lucky) whale sharks, explore sandbanks, and enjoy a mix of adventure and relaxed island life. Ideal if you want it all — action, people, and unforgettable ocean moments.

Retreat with Nora
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.
