Thudufushi Island Holidays from AU$2,360

The island is breathtaking. I stayed in an overwater bungalow and it was absolute perfection. Very clean, verrry comfortable. I recommend the buffet over the restaurant. The restaurant meals were very hit or miss. Some of the service was excellent, others seem miserable and distracted. Saad at the dive school is a fantastic teacher for those who are first timers to snorkeling. If youre a smoker, bring your own cigarettes as a pack is $35 at the bar. If your a non-smoker, be aware that people smoke in pretty much all public spaces. My suggestion would be to bring USD and tip great servers, concierge and bartenders well ($20) early in your stay - it will elevate your experience 100%. They will go out of their way to make your stay the most comfortable.

I expected cleaner beaches

the island is well taken care of, Razib our cleaner was fantastic. the snorkeling and wildlife was amazing

It was an amazing experience and would highly recommend. Firstly, there were staff and service from Malé arrivals to our resort. Our butler, Ali was brilliant and kept us informed and was brilliant for all of our stay. We stayed in the ocean sunset villas which was conveniently located to the island guest areas with access to bikes throughout. The staff at Zero Degree, Ocean Breeze and Magu. Chef Sajol was amazing and even made a special dish which was special. Colleagues Ali and Yesim were friendly and always available to provide recommendations. Plenty of things to do we did kayaking and snorkel on sight and attended their Sea Salt bbq with unlimited grills and entertainment and highly recommend. We also did their dolphin and snorkel excursion and must praise Hussain for his professional approach and making sure our experiences was more than memorable. Again, our return was smooth and colleagues at every point from departure to Malé check in via boat and domestic flight. Overall Ayada went above and beyond with also allowing us to have a late departure and use and access to their guest areas and food/drink. Thank you Ayada for everything and would highly recommended!
