Location 
Endless Sun, sea, surf and sand in the place where tourism began.
Kaafu Atoll, or the North Malé Atoll, is where tourism began in the Maldives in 1972. With just 9 of the 107 islands that make up the atoll inhabited, Kaafu Atoll is dotted with dive sites, many of them well known in the diving community around the world. Manta points, fascinating reef formations, coral gardens and wrecks are all part of the diving experience when holidaying out here.

Of Maldive Islands’ 1190 exotic islands, North Malé located approximately 13km from Malé is home to the most number of resorts in the country. It is no surprise! These islands, scattered like prized radiant pearls surrounded by azure waters, offer some of the most memorable holidays for those seeking tranquility, adventure, romance and rejuvenation. 

Amongst these pearl-like islands is one that is whiter than the rest called ‘Dhonveli’ which means ‘white sand’ in Divehi, the local language. Dhonveli is home to Chaaya Island Dhonveli, one of the world’s best resort hotels, boasting newly refurbished picturesque accommodation, soft pristine beaches, abundant vegetation, a seductive ocean and lagoon, and celebrated surf and dive sites.
