Thulusdhoo is a beach destination in Malé Atoll, Maldives, known for its island setting within the Kaafu Atoll administrative division. The place suits travellers looking for a base among inhabited islands, smaller island communities and private resort islands. Thulusdhoo itself is the capital of Kaafu Atoll, while nearby islands such as Himmafushi and Huraa offer more examples of life on inhabited Maldivian islands. Dhiffushi is notable for being the easternmost inhabited island in the Maldives and for witnessing the country’s first sunrise. Meeru Island adds a private resort experience on an island at the easternmost tip of North Malé Atoll. Visitors who prefer island-focused holidays, resort stays and a beach setting will find the area suitable. The nearby islands also give travellers several distinct places to include in an Atoll visit.
