About Eydhafushi

Eydhafushi is the capital of Baa Atoll, a busy island of about 2,600 people roughly 114 km north of Malé and a short boat ride from Dharavandhoo airport. It is the atoll's commercial centre — harbour, shops, offices and the regional hospital — and historically a weaving island, known for the fine feyli sarongs once made here. It is less a beach island than a working base, but it sits within reach of Hanifaru Bay's manta aggregations and the UNESCO biosphere reefs, and guesthouses run boats to both.

Before you go

Practical notes for Eydhafushi

01
Getting there

Fly Malé to Dharavandhoo (about 20-25 minutes) and take a short speedboat across to Eydhafushi; scheduled speedboats from Malé are also available and take several hours.

02
Manta season

Hanifaru Bay's mantas gather roughly May to November with the southwest monsoon; access is by licensed boat only, with no scuba.

03
Dress and drones

Modest dress applies in town; swimwear only where guesthouses designate. Drones need national permits and face extra restrictions around the biosphere zones and the nearby airport.

Questions

Photoshoot on Eydhafushi — FAQ

We arrange boat or domestic transfer, or pair you with a Coora photographer already in Baa Atoll. If you're already staying on Eydhafushi, we simply meet you there — we photograph guests on their own island.

Golden hour — roughly the last 60–90 minutes before sunset, and the first hour after sunrise. We schedule every Eydhafushi session around it and move between jetty, beach and palm lines as the light changes.

It depends on the beach: swimwear is only allowed on designated tourist beaches on inhabited islands. We confirm Eydhafushi's rules before your shoot and plan looks and locations to match.

Often yes. Drone rules vary by island and resort; we check Eydhafushi's current permissions before your session and, where flying isn't possible, plan aerials from a nearby sandbank.
