This mosque is said to be the largest on any local Maldivian island.
In addition to these cultural highlights, Thoddoo is well-equipped with community facilities, including a school, a children’s playground, a hospital, and a football field, making it a vibrant and welcoming destination for both locals and visitors.
Discover the Beautiful Bikini Beaches on Thoddoo
Picture yourself stepping onto Thoddoo’s stunning main beach on the western side of the island. Stretching several hundred meters, it welcomes you with its soft, powdery white sand and a gentle, inviting entry into the crystal-clear water. It’s the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. During peak season, the vibrant atmosphere comes alive with fellow beachgoers, but there’s always room to find your slice of paradise.
Take advantage of the facilities at the western bikini beach, including toilets, showers, and changing rooms, while the shade of swaying palm trees keeps you cool.
For a quieter escape, head to the northern side of the island, where a smaller, more serene beach awaits. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and let the beauty of Thoddoo take your breath away. Don’t just imagine it—make it your reality!
