The first journey is to Maafushi Island, a small island offering picturesque beach views. From Male, the local speed boat will transfer you to Maafushi.

The island is pretty small and quite easy to walk around from side to side. Maafushi is a pleasant island destination that offers the perfect balance between convenience and lifestyle.
As the Maldives is a Muslim country it’s respectful to cover up than wandering in your beachwear. However, most local islands including Mafushi have a dedicated bikini/tourist beach. It is illegal to expose your skin in public on other parts of the island. Located on the northern end of the island, Bikini beach allows beachgoers to be dressed in skimpy swimwear. This beautiful beach has soft white sand, swaying palm trees and turquoise waters under the infinite blue skies. Frolic in the crystalline shallow waters, sip on the refreshing coconut water enjoying the beach, sun and the beautiful sea.
Mafushi offers plenty of water sports and activities such as jet-skiing, windsurfing, parasailing, sailing, kneeboarding, banana boat, fishing, canoeing, and even flyboarding.

If you are not ready to dive in the water the how about witnessing some magnificent dolphins? There are thousands of dolphins who call the atolls of the Maldives home and one of the easiest ways to see them is a dolphin-watching cruise.
