Thoddoo

Thoddoo Maldives – on the Atoll Ari, there lies such a wonderful green island with a white 400 metres long beach for tourists. This island is called Thoddoo, and we can find it 65 km on the west of the capital city Male with an international airport. On the island there live about 1.300 stable residents who ern a living especially by tourism, fishing and exporting fruit a vegetable as watermelons or papaya. A third of 2 km2, the total island area, is occupied by agriculture.

There are 3 cafés in Thoddoo. The first one is located near the port and mostly you can find the local people there. The second one is close to the football field and the prices are quite higher. The third café was built especially for the tourists and it lies a little bit far from the inhabited area. But to get there is definitely worth it, because the prices are lower, and the surroundings are also magical. Each table is separated and surrounded by verdancy.

In the island, there are two diving centres which offer water skiing, parasailing and other. Inasmuch as Maldives are a Islamic country, there are two mosques whereas one of them was built by an owner of a nearby resort. It’s supposed to be the largest mosque from all of the local Maldivian islands. As it’s standard on the other islands, you can find a school, a children playground, a hospital and also the football field there.

The boast of Thoddoo is a beautiful beach where is a perfect place for snorkelling. When you pull your head under water you will see huge corals with schools of fish around them and probably there will be turtles too. By an entrance of the beach, there is also a small tent bar with some fresh fruit, coconuts, and drinks.
