Drone & Aerial
on Fulidhoo
The signature Maldives shot: you two on a white sandbank in the middle of turquoise. Flown by licensed pilots, composed from the sky. Photographed on Fulidhoo, Vaavu Atoll, by locals who know the island's best light.
Fulidhoo is the northernmost inhabited island of Vaavu Atoll, a sliver of sand about 675 by 200 metres with around 400 residents, 56 km south of Male.
Planning a drone photoshoot on Fulidhoo? The island sits about 56 km from Malé in Vaavu Atoll, roughly 70 minutes by speedboat. It has a designated bikini beach, so swimwear frames are possible on the tourist stretch. Tell us your dates and we'll schedule your drone photoshoot around Fulidhoo's golden hour.

Drone & Aerial on Fulidhoo: quick answers
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.
Speedboat from Malé in 70 minutes (~$40), or the public ferry (Tue, Thu, Sun, 210 min). If you're already staying on Fulidhoo, we 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 Fulidhoo session around it and move between jetty, beach and palm lines as the light changes.
