What does Maafushi offer as a holiday destination?
At Maafushi, you can enjoy a variety of activities, we list some of them here:
1. Beaches: Maafushi has beautiful beaches where you can relax, sunbathe and swim in the crystal clear waters.
2. Snorkelling and diving: The Maldives is known for its amazing coral reefs. You can go snorkelling or diving to explore the colourful marine life.

6. Eating local cuisine: Savour Maldivian food at local restaurants and try the seafood. They also offer a lot of other food, so there's something for everyone. We will have a restaurant at our hotel that you can use. There will be a mix of things that we miss when we're in the Maldives and generally just something we think is delicious or could be improved elsewhere.
