The
Small, intimate and romantic island of Thulhagiri is situated in
North Male' Atoll, approximately 11 kilometres from Male'
International Airport. It takes an hour by slow boats (dhoni) and 20
minutes by speedboats from the airport. An emerald set off by a
chalk-white sand beach encircled with a turquoise lagoon merging
into the sparkling blue sea

| The center
of the village is the Bar and the lounge building, connected to the
restaurant. The tall thatched roof sweeps low over open sides and a
curving white wall. It is good looking but informal. With comfy
chairs on a sandy floor and friendly bar staffs it is a natural
meeting place to while away the evenings or have a drink before
meals

The food is the pride of the resort. Clearly a lot of money is
spent on the ingredients and the chefs. It is well known around that Thulhagiri foods on great buffets. And
with three buffets a day you will have to pace yourself or do more
of the exercise that's on offer. (Bed and Breakfast and Half board
are offered as well as Full board and even Bed only).
|
| The
58 rooms (all the same) are of a decent size and nicely decorated
with batiks and thickly woven screw-pine matting. Each one has a/c,
mini bar and telephone. The fittings in the bathroom are good and
the towels are fresh and soft. The shower is particularly modern;
and forceful, with an immediate supply of plentiful hot water.

The
water sport center is well equipped and well used. Inside the Atoll
and with a near permanent crosswind it is particularly suitable for
windsurfing lessons. Water-skiing, catamarans and banana boat are
also available, with courses |
| The dive school is a five star PADI instructor center, well run and
usually busy although it is quiet small. The many dive sites in the
south and the East of the Atoll are within easy reach. As for the
islands own reef, it is variable. Part of it is bare of corals but
decent snorkeling is possible in other parts. And there are trip
arranged to near by reefs, the lagoon is generally very shallow, but
the small clumps of coral offer enough colorful fish to satisfy the
snorkeling beginner |
