Popular islands for a drone photoshoot
We shoot on every inhabited island and resort in the Maldives. These are the islands guests book most. Each page has getting-there facts, best light and photo spots.
Drone & Aerial: asked often
Yes, with permissions. Drone flights require approval and local consent, and rules differ by island and resort. Our pilots are licensed and we arrange the permissions for your location in advance.
A sandbank. The classic Maldives aerial is two people on a bare white sandbank surrounded by turquoise. We take you there by boat from your island or resort, usually a 10–20 minute ride.
A DJI Mavic 4 Pro, flown by licensed pilots, for top-down, orbit and reveal passes. Photos are edited alongside your ground frames in the same gallery.
Often yes, with the resort's consent, which we clear in advance. Where a resort doesn't permit drones, we shoot aerials from a nearby sandbank by boat.
Yes. Couples, honeymoon and wedding sessions include drone passes where conditions and local rules allow. The drone experience adds the dedicated sandbank trip and more aerial time.
