Types of Resort Day Trips from Maafushi
Half-Day Beach Escape
The most affordable resort day trip option. A speedboat picks you up from Maafushi and takes you to a nearby resort island for access to their beach and pool facilities for half a day.
Typically Includes:
Full-Day Resort Pass
Spend a full day at a private resort — pool, beach, watersports, and lunch. The experience is a fraction of the cost of actually staying at the resort but gives you the full flavour of Maldives luxury.
Typically Includes:
Sandbank Picnic Day Trip
The most unique option — not a resort at all, but a private uninhabited sandbank in the middle of the ocean. A boat takes you there, sets up a picnic lunch, and leaves you for a few hours of total solitude.
