Thulhagiri is a small island in North Malé Atoll, about 13 km and 20 minutes by speedboat from the airport, with boats running at any time of day. It opened in 1983 and was renovated in 2022, and it keeps a barefoot, traditional style with bamboo furniture and thousands of budgies in the trees. A house reef runs right round the island, and the Sub Aqua dive school offers unlimited house-reef diving.
There are 87 bungalows of three kinds. The 50 Standard Deluxe Beach Bungalows (53 m²) open onto the beach through a full glass door to a private wooden deck, with a bathtub, a separate shower and an open-air shower. The 17 Water Bungalows (56 m²) stand over the lagoon with a deck that leads down to the lagoon and the house reef, and the 20 Superior Water Bungalows (78 m²) add an outdoor shower and a glass-bottomed coffee table. All sleep up to three.
The Main Restaurant serves buffets for every meal under an Austrian chef. The Sand Bar is the main bar, with coffee, draught beer and cocktails from 7.30am to midnight and weekly live music, discos and crab races, and the Beach Bar catches the sunset. Half board is included, with full board, Half Board Plus and all inclusive above it. There's an infinity pool, a gym, the Duny Thai Spa and the Magic Surf & Sail water sports centre.
من المفيد أن تعرفThe resort publishes no room rates, so the price is a travel agency's figure and only a rough guide. It's an older, simple resort rather than a luxurious one, with no pool villas, but it's very close to the airport and the reef is right there.
