Hotels in Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, Maldives

Alifu Dhaalu Atoll sits in the central Maldives, with temperatures staying between 77 and 88 degrees Fahrenheit (25 to 31 degrees Celsius) all year. It's famous for its house reefs and manta ray cleaning stations, where you can snorkel or dive straight from your overwater bungalow. The dry northeast monsoon from November to April gives you calm waters for spotting whale sharks at South Ari Atoll, while the wet southwest monsoon from May to October brings cheaper room rates and great surfing at Thulusdhoo reef passes.
