Drone & Aerial
on Keyodhoo
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 Keyodhoo, Vaavu Atoll, by locals who know the island's best light.
Keyodhoo is the most populous island of quiet Vaavu Atoll (still only about 640 people), sitting 79 km south of Male on the atoll's eastern rim.
Planning a drone photoshoot on Keyodhoo? The island sits about 79 km from Malé in Vaavu Atoll, roughly 120 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 Keyodhoo's golden hour.

Drone & Aerial on Keyodhoo: 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 120 minutes (~$60), or the public ferry (Tue, Thu, Sun, 360 min). If you're already staying on Keyodhoo, 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 Keyodhoo session around it and move between jetty, beach and palm lines as the light changes.
