Thulusdhoo Island, located in the North Malé Atoll of the Maldives, is a charming blend of local island life, turquoise lagoons, and world-class surf breaks. Unlike luxury resort islands, Thulusdhoo offers an authentic Maldivian experience with guesthouses, local cafés, and friendly communities. It’s especially famous for its surfing spots like Coke’s and Chicken’s, ideal for both beginners and professionals.
Included in several Maldives tour packages, Thulusdhoo is perfect for travelers seeking a balance between adventure and relaxation. Honeymooners love its pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and laid-back island vibes. The island’s proximity to Malé (just 30 minutes by speedboat) makes it easily accessible while still feeling like a secluded paradise. Whether you want to snorkel among colorful marine life, enjoy traditional Maldivian cuisine, or surf the Indian Ocean waves, Thulusdhoo Island promises an unforgettable tropical escape.
Entry to Thulusdhoo Island is free, as it’s a local inhabited island. Travelers only need to pay for their speedboat transfer from Malé, which costs around USD 30-40 (₹2,500–₹3,300) per person each way. Resort day trips, excursions, and water sports activities are available at additional costs.
