Our neighbouring island of Kudarikilu provides a glimpse into Maldivian island life. Visit the island office, village school, local shop and mosque, and discover thunda kunaa, the traditional craft of mat weaving.

Departing from the Resort's jetty, a scenic boat ride – just 45 minutes by dhoni or 30 minutes by speedboat – takes you to the small island of Dharavandhoo, the original capital of the Baa Atoll. Drink in the sights and sounds of a traditional Maldivian village for more insight into the local way of life, and visit handicraft stores to see an array of coconut shell carvings, painted wood carvings and coconut palm figurines crafted using century-old techniques. Please note that most of the shops on the island accept payment by cash only.
