About Kaashidhoo
Kaashidhoo is the odd one out in Kaafu Atoll: a large, green farming island standing alone in the Kaashidhoo Channel about 86 km north of Malé, with around 2,500 residents. Instead of resorts and lagoons it is known for agriculture — coconut and toddy, fruit and vegetables grown across its broad interior — and for the Kuruhinna Tharaagandu Buddhist ruins, one of the best-preserved pre-Islamic sites in the country. Exposed on every side to deep water, it has a frontier feel that few other Kaafu islands share.

Beaches & photo spots on Kaashidhoo
Low coral-stone foundations of a Buddhist monastery complex — archaeology in soft early light; stay on paths and photograph respectfully.
Working plots of bananas, chillies and palms — green, agricultural frames unusual for the Maldives; ask landowners before shooting.
The island's protected harbour with fishing dhonis and the channel's open water beyond.
Beaches that look onto the open Kaashidhoo Channel rather than a sheltered lagoon — bigger skies and livelier water.
What we shoot on Kaashidhoo
Practical notes for Kaashidhoo
Scheduled speedboats from Malé take around 2.5 hours across open water, so crossings can be lumpy in the southwest monsoon; the slow public ferry is infrequent.
Kaashidhoo is a conservative farming community with little guesthouse tourism; treat all beaches as local beaches and dress modestly unless a guesthouse directs you to a designated area.
Nationwide rules apply: MNDF approval plus a Civil Aviation Authority permit arranged weeks ahead, and island council consent for flights over the village or the ruins.
Photoshoot on Kaashidhoo — FAQ
Speedboat from Malé in 150 minutes. If you're already staying on Kaashidhoo, 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 Kaashidhoo 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 Kaashidhoo's rules before your shoot and plan looks and locations to match.
Often yes. Drone rules vary by island and resort; we check Kaashidhoo's current permissions before your session and, where flying isn't possible, plan aerials from a nearby sandbank.
