Dhiffushi

Dhiffushi (Dhivehi: ދިއްފުށި) is one of the inhabited islands of Kaafu Atoll. It is located next to Meerufenfusi. The island has a hospital, two mosques and a public school. Currently, there are 3 local cafes which operate from morning 6 am until 11 pm, 7 local shops, and a few restaurants serving international menus open from morning 11 am till 11:45 pm. About a dozen guesthouses are in operation ever since local islands are opened up for guesthouse business. Many new boutiques and island-style tourist accommodations are budding on the island. There are a local soccer club and a soccer field.

As of the beginning of 2012 Dhiffushi council has started to build an industrial area next to the harbour in order to claim additional land, the land has been used for commercial industrial use.

The island doesn't have a police station due to the extremely low crime rate. However, the island council and the community ensures the safety and security of visitors/community.

How to get there

It’s close enough to the capital city of Malé, yet further away than its bigger and more developed sister islands, including the popular tourist hub of Maafushi. Thirty-seven kilometres from the capital is less than 45 minutes by shared speedboat, which will run you between $20 and $25. It’s essential to book the transfer in advance, either through your hotel or directly.

If you’re travelling on a shoestring, a cheaper option is the public ferry, which costs about $1.50, but it will take you over three hours. The ferry also doesn’t run on Monday or Friday.
