Olhuveli is a resort island with relatively convenient transportation. It can be reached by a speedboat ride of approx. 45 minutes from Velana International Airport in Male. The island consists of three connected islands: the main island, Dream Island, and Romance Island. Different areas present different vacation atmospheres, and guests can travel freely between the islands to experience the diverse island environment. The island features stretches of white sandy beaches, among which the long, narrow sandbank extending into the sea is one of its most distinctive views, perfect for strolling and taking photos of the island scenery. The surrounding waters have a rich marine ecosystem. You can go snorkeling near the jetty and pier, where you have the chance to observe marine life such as sea turtles. The island's dive center also offers boat exploration programs to visit nearby dive sites and discover more marine views. In terms of dining, the island has a variety of restaurants offering options such as buffets, Italian, Thai, Indian, and Japanese cuisine. Some restaurants are located on piers extending over the sea, allowing you to enjoy the sea view while dining. The island is also equipped with water sports facilities and leisure amenities, where you can experience activities like jet skiing and kitesurfing, or join a sunset cruise. Accommodation types include beach villas and overwater villas, suitable for different needs such as vacations for couples and family trips.

It is called Pisces because its water house is built in the shape of two fish, one large and one small. You can also see from the picture that the sea around the island is all white. This is the "lagoon". The English name is "lagoon". It is a white area formed by the accumulation of dead corals, but not above the sea level. It is very shallow and very beautiful when viewed up close. It takes less than an hour to get to the island by speedboat from Male Airport. As soon as I got off the boat, I was shocked by the clear sea water (I can't say blue, because this lagoon is too big, it's so big, amazing), and the weather was sunny. Looking at the island from the pier, there is a long plank road. On the left is the SUNSET restaurant that I will often visit in the future, and on the right is the LAGNOON bar, where I will have my honeymoon meal. The sea on the right is very shallow, very suitable for swimming, snorkeling, water activities, etc. The sea on the left is deeper, as you can see from the color, and it is not recommended to go into the sea here. The junction of white and blue is the junction of shallow sea and deep sea. There are the most fish and corals here, and the water flow is very slow. It is very safe. Even if you can't swim, you can come here to swim. Many people come here to dive early in the morning. There are free coffee and tea for you to make, and there are kettles. The water tastes like desalinated seawater. Sometimes it is a little salty, but we think it's okay and we are used to it. We didn't bring much water this time. It is recommended that students don't bring too much water. There is no need to be tired. Two small bottles of mineral water are delivered every day. There are shampoo, shower gel and other things in the bathroom, even razors, and a lot of towels, which are changed twice a day. There are also power converters and hair dryers. The small fish water house opens like a skirt, and the panoramic view is very beautiful. My favorite infinity pool, there are two on the whole island, I only found out later, I thought there was only one. Dinner is a buffet, and the meal time is 7:30. Be on time. If you come too early, they really won't let you eat. Xiao Hei has already booked the place. We will eat at the same place for the next four days. Tell Xiao Hei the room number when you enter the door and he will take you there. There is no water or drinks in this buffet. You have to order them separately, so we had to use fruit instead. I checked before coming to Shuangyu Island. The snorkeling is not very good. The main reason is that the LAGOON is too big, which affects the fish and corals. But there are still two good snorkeling spots near the pier. The advantage is that the water is very shallow, which is very suitable for people who can't swim. It is very safe and the waves are small. The entertainment projects on the island are different every day. After you get on the island, Xiao Hei will hand you a detailed description of the project in Chinese. Don't worry about not understanding it. However, there is the same project every day, which is "snorkeling at sea". It is probably the most popular project on the island. People who came to the island this time seemed not to be very enthusiastic about participating in these projects. In addition to snorkeling at sea, other activities, such as night fishing and island tours, basically did not have enough people to participate. Each activity requires a minimum of 8 people. Snorkeling costs $45 per person, plus tax and service fee, it's almost $50 per person. To register, just fill in the room number and name on the registration form at the reception one day in advance, it's very simple, and then set off the next day

Naladhu is a secluded paradise. We loved the private villa and incredible staff. It’s the perfect romantic hideaway, with the bonus of Veli and Dhigu's activities just minutes away. Magical and highly recommended!
