An expanse
of the whitest coral sand, which turns a coral pink shade at sunset.
This is often the best time to relax in the privacy of a traditionally
thatched Maldivian resting place overlooking your beach. Laze on one
of the traditional “Undholi” – carved
wooden swing beds, used for centuries by Maldivian families. |
|
“Wherever and Whenever” is our philosophy on
this enchanting island. Your stay at Dhoni Island is all about YOU. A
dedicated “Thakuru”– Maldivian butler, captain and two additional
crew members – all for you – are on call 24 hours a day throughout your
entire stay at Dhoni Island. Your Thakuru will take you to specially
selected snorkelling spots, bring you the freshest local papaya and place
flowers on your bed. Whatever you desire or need, they are there to ensure
that everything is taken care of right down to the finest detail.
|
Prior to your arrival, your Thakuru will seek
information of any special indulgences you may need or desire while visiting
us – maybe a personalised dive lesson, assistance with creating the perfect
moment for a proposal or even how you like your martini – shaken or stirred.
At Dhoni Island, find unsurpassed levels of dedicated service and attention
to detail.
