Descripció de la platja
Kunfunadhoo is a vast and very beautiful island, immersed in emerald shades of vegetation and impressive beaches with white sand, dazzlingly contrasting with the azure of ocean waters. Its length is about 1.4 km with a width of almost 400 m. For a long time, Kunfunadhoo was a single resort island of the Baa Atoll, but now it already has several worthy competitors. Although many vacationers invariably choose exactly Soneva Fushi, a resort that is already more than 20 years old and which was originally one of the very first five-star hotels in the entire archipelago.
The attractiveness of this Maldives resort island is due to a number of factors, including:
- easily accessible (is accessible by swimming) resort's home reef with a rich underwater life;
- very soft and clean sand on the beach, ideal for barefoot walks;
- private beach at each villa and bathrooms with garden views;
- the presence in the tropical garden of the island of its own observatory with an excellent telescope.
This is a wonderful resort for those who love nature and privacy, but are not ready to give up the luxury of comfortable accommodation and pastime. But still it is worth considering that the island of Kunfunadhoo is an eco-resort where wildlife is of particular value, which here is especially protected and preserved in its original form.
Therefore, on the beach, coral branches, brought to the shore by the flow from the reef, may well come across sand. But in most places on the beach, the entry into the water is very smooth, and the bottom is sandy, without coral fragments.
Here you can swim next to huge sea turtles and whale sharks. No less impressive is the variety of soft and hard corals with a kaleidoscope of colorful fish that scurry around them.
When is the best time to go?
Maldivi-ekvatorijalna je zemlja s tropskom klimom, gdje je vrijeme uvijek toplo na + 27-30ºS. No, otoci imaju neke sezonske značajke. Od sredine aprila do kraja oktobra ovdje često pada kiša. Sušna sezona traje od novembra do aprila. U to vrijeme početno čisto more postaje potpuno prozirno, a sunce obasjava nebo 12 sati dnevno.
Važno: Velika količina planktona se sakupi u oktobru i novembru uz obalu, zbog čega okean poprima pomalo nejasnu nijansu. S druge strane - plankton osvjetljava more noću, stvarajući neopisivu sliku. U ovom trenutku obalne vode ispunjene su raževima - nevjerojatno fascinantnim stvorenjima koja ni po čemu nisu inferiorna u odnosu na delfine.
