2025 Alif Dhaal Atoll Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)

I have finally arrived at the other side of the Anywhere Door - Maldives🇲🇻 I recently found out that a round trip from Guangzhou or Macau to Maldives with a transfer is just over 1700! It's very tempting! 🏝️About choosing an island Enough said! Let's choose an island first! There are so many islands that it's really confusing. I won't choose a newly developed artificial island, as the vegetation🌳 and snorkeling environment are unknowns!. Rooms that are too densely packed on an island are not chosen either, as there could be issues with soundproofing and privacy. In the end, we chose the Constance Moofushi Island for a 2-night beach villa and a 2-night water villa stay, along with seaplane transfers, all-inclusive meals and drinks, and even included accommodation and dining for a child under 13!👏 🏨Constance Moofushi Island is a six-star island located in the Ari Atoll, with a privileged natural environment. The snorkeling environment on the island is second to none, with crystal clear waters, colorful coral reefs, and various marine life, it's simply a fairy tale world.🐠🐬 🍽️Cuisine is also a major highlight. The hotel offers three restaurants and two bars, serving a variety of tasty food and beverages. From buffet restaurants to seaside barbecues, from cocktails to wines, every bite is a delight.🍴🍷 🌅In addition to snorkeling and food, there are various 🆓 activities to participate in on the island, such as marine life lectures, cocktail mixing classes, and more. Every day brings new surprises, making it an endlessly enjoyable experience.🎈 🏖️Lastly, I must mention their overwater villas. You can snorkel directly from the stairs of your room, right above the beautiful coral reefs and schools of fish. Waking up every morning to the sound of the waves and seeing the beautiful sunrise is truly wonderful!🌅

#maldivestrip South Ari Atoll is pure paradise, and its Beach Road feels like it was made for dreamers. As you walk along the powdery white sands, the turquoise waters stretch endlessly beside you, sparkling under the golden sun. The salty breeze, the soft sound of waves, and the swaying palm trees create the perfect tropical symphony — it’s the kind of place where every step feels like a little escape from reality. But the real magic begins as the sun dips toward the horizon. The sky bursts into shades of orange, pink, and lavender, painting the perfect backdrop for the most romantic beach dinner you can imagine. A cozy table set right on the sand, candles flickering in the breeze, and the sound of the ocean just steps away — it’s an experience straight out of a movie. Dining under the stars at South Ari Atoll is more than just a meal; it’s a moment you’ll never forget. Whether you're toasting with a glass of wine or simply soaking in the beauty together, it’s the kind of memory that stays with you long after the last wave kisses the shore.
