Dhiffushi island is located at Kaafu Atoll, just 37 kilometres (23 miles) from the capital of Male’. It measures a small 0.95 kilometres (0.59 miles) in length and 0.2 kilometres (0.12 miles) in width, making for a tiny island that’s big on heart.
The island is close to amazing diving and snorkelling spots which will keep ocean lovers entertained for hours. Dhiffushi’s own house reef spans more than 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) and houses a large variety of marine flora and fauna.
The beaches on the island, numbering to a total of two, are a sight to behold as well. Sand so small and fine it slips through your fingers when you pick it up and through your feet when you walk as you enjoy the rising or setting sun. A cerulean waterscape gazes back at you, beckoning you to take a swim in its warm and inviting waters.
Dhiffushi Island’s 1,200 denizens look to tourism and fishing for income. With such a low amount of people living on the island, rest assured you’ll have a quiet and relaxing holiday if that’s what you’re looking for.
