Hotels in Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, Maldives

Alifu Dhaalu Atoll lies in the central Maldives, with year-round tropical temps around 82°F (28°C) and famous for its clear lagoons and manta ray cleaning stations. During the dry season from December to April, you can snorkel with whale sharks in South Ari Atoll's protected marine area, while the rainy months from May to November offer cheaper stays and prime surf at Thondhoo's reef breaks. The atoll's scattered sandbanks let you picnic on a private stretch of Indian Ocean shoreline any time of year.
