Fulidhoo — Local services in Felidhu Atoll

Fulidhoo Island is truly a hidden gem in the Maldives, and our time spent there was nothing short of magical. Located about 3 hours away from Malé by public ferry or just 1.45 hours by fast boat, this tropical paradise is well worth the journey.

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the island's stunning beauty. The crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches create a postcard-perfect setting that feels like a dream. Every corner of Fulidhoo is picturesque, making it an ideal destination for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

One of the highlights of our trip was the incredible marine life we encountered. Swimming with nurse sharks and stingrays was an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever. The vibrant underwater world around the island is teeming with life, making it a fantastic spot for snorkeling and diving.

If you’re looking for a tranquil escape in the Maldives, I highly recommend visiting Fulidhoo. We only wish we could have stayed longer to fully immerse ourselves in its beauty. This island is truly a paradise that everyone should experience at least once in...

I spent four nights here in late February. We stayed at the La Perla guesthouse. They were very welcoming and offered to prepare homemade food for us for three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). The food was varied, including a lot of samples of local cuisine. Coming from a part of the world where spicy food is not that common, our food was made not that hot, and it was very good -- every single time.

There was a very calm, quiet and nice bikini beach, which even had some snorkeling spots close to land. In addition, they suggested very affordable snorkeling trips to the reefs. Our trip was to three locations, including a shark viewing point, dolphins (bonus!) and two coral reefs.

One night the guest house owners had been out fishing and invited us to the jetty to feed the string rays. They showed us how to feed the sting rays, and offered us to try. A really cool experience!!

There are shops on the island which claim to have "everything you might ever need", and I found all the things I needed (but had forgotten) there. However, you might not find some of the coolest and newest...

An incredible destination with surreal blue waters and abundant marine life, although there's a concern about coral degradation due to practices to attract tourists. Accommodation, transport, and activities are relatively pricey. It's advisable to carry USD cash to avoid unfavorable currency conversion rates and credit card fees.

Unfortunately, there's a visible trash issue, particularly at Bikini Beach West, raising concerns about its future as a pristine destination.

Opting for the public ferry is a cost-effective and scam-free transportation choice, saving you a substantial amount. Avoid...
