Thundufushi Island beach
The name of the island of Thundufushi in the Maldivian language (Divehi language) means "Point Island". As part of the atoll Alif Daal (South Ari), 30-40 years ago, this tiny island with an area of no more than 11 hectares was uninhabited, and now it is a luxury five-star resort offering the best conditions for diving and other water sports in the Maldives. Its beach area is a wide natural beach, spread on the banks of a beautiful lagoon.

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.
