Drone & Aerial
on Maalhos
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 Maalhos, Baa Atoll, by locals who know the island's best light.
Planning a drone photoshoot on Maalhos? The island sits about 115 km from Malé in Baa Atoll, roughly 150 minutes by speedboat. It has a designated bikini beach, so swimwear frames are possible on the tourist stretch. The calmest seas and clearest skies typically run Jan–Mar. Tell us your dates and we'll schedule your drone photoshoot around Maalhos's golden hour.

Drone & Aerial on Maalhos: 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 150 minutes (~$50). If you're already staying on Maalhos, 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 Maalhos session around it and move between jetty, beach and palm lines as the light changes.
