Maafushi is the perfect destination to choose if you're looking for a convenient, budget-friendly local island that has a lot to offer.
Maafushi is one of the inhabited islands of Kaafu Atoll and the proposed capital for the Medhu Uthuru Province of the Maldives.
It is noted for the Maafushi Prison.
The island’s proximity to Malé and its transport hubs has allowed Maafushi to become a popular destination for tourists visiting local islands.
The Maldives is often associated with luxury travel.
And that makes total sense, because most of the resorts and over-water villas being advertised can cost up to USD 5,000 per night
(and that’s not including taxes)!
But this doesn’t mean there’s no hope at all for backpackers or budget traveller.
While previously, tourists were only allowed on expensive private islands,
in 2008 the Maldivian government changed the laws and opened up the local islands for tourism.
What this means is that now you can stay at budget guest houses for a low cost and get a decent room with free breakfast
and all the basic amenities. Most of the guest houses also offer diving and snorkelling trips at reasonable prices.
