Dusit Thani Maldives sits in Baa Atoll. The transfer is a 35-minute seaplane, which flies in daylight only. We quote this island on request.

Dusit Thani Maldives is a 5-star island in Baa Atoll. About 35 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport. Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so an evening arrival into Malé means a night in the city before the hop across.

A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and Hanifaru Bay — the site manta rays and whale sharks gather at to feed, broadly between May and November.

Villas

  • Water Villa
  • Deluxe Bungalow
  • Beach Bungalow

What the island is known for

  • Borderless Dining
  • Sala and Sand bars
  • Shopping

No — it is a beach resort. If a water villa is what you want, tell us and we will quote an island that has them rather than sell you a stay that cannot deliver it.

The categories are Water Villa, Deluxe Bungalow and Beach Bungalow. Which one a package quotes moves the price more than the season does, so tell us the category you want and we quote against it.
