One Step To The Beach

Thoddoo Beach is located on Thoddoo Island (Maldives). The beach boasts a unique blend of natural beauty, history, and authentic Maldivian culture.

Unlike the majority of Maldives' beaches, which are reserved for resorts, Thoddoo Beach is a bikini-permitted public beach where vacationers can sit back and relax freely. Bordering tall palms and vibrant tropical vegetation, the beach has gentle white sand and mesmerizing turquoise water. The island's location offers relatively peaceful seas, making it an excellent spot to snorkel and swim.

Thoddoo Island isn't just about beaches – it's also called the 'fruit basket of the Maldives.' The island has a rich agricultural history and produces some of the nation's most fresh watermelons, papayas, and coconuts. Farm tours and sampling of unusual tropical fruits straight from the farm are available to visitors.

The waters surrounding Thoddoo Beach are abuzz with marine life abundance. Snorkeling may produce colorful coral reefs, tropical fish, and even sea turtles. The water temperature and availability of sea creatures render it one of the best snorkeling sites from populated islands in the Maldives.

Thoddoo guests can enjoy a variety of activities, from paddleboarding and fishing tours to simply lying on the beach, watching beautiful sunsets.

For the more than usual Maldivian resort holidays-bound tourist, Thoddoo Beach presents a perfect choice. With its pristine beach line, fertile landscapes, and active cultural experience, this hidden gem is a one-of-a-kind experience in the center of the Indian Ocean.
