If you’re looking for an affordable island getaway in the Maldives, Fulidhoo might be just the spot for you. This small, budget-friendly local island offers a taste of the tropics without breaking the bank, and it’s a destination we recently explored along with Dhigurah island, which impressed us with its stunning beaches and sandbar.
Fulidhoo is not just about lounging on white sandy beaches and swimming in crystal-clear waters, although it certainly has those in abundance. The island’s star attraction, aside from its excellent scuba diving opportunities, is the Shark and Stingray Beach. Here, you can observe nurse sharks, sea turtles, and stingrays gliding through the shallow waters, and even capture some memorable photos with these amazing creatures.
Accommodation on Fulidhoo is also incredibly budget-friendly, with family-run hotels offering rooms for as low as $60 USD per night. This makes it an ideal choice for travelers seeking a tropical experience on a budget.
In this travel guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know before visiting Fulidhoo, including how to get there, what to do, where to stay, and tips to make the most of your trip!
