The heron is one of the species roaming freely around the beaches of Fihalhohi Island Resort. These birds were part of the welcoming committee of the island resort while we’re docking at the entrance. I knew upon seeing them that Fihalhohi Island promises more – a diverse marine life below sea level.

This snapshot was taken while I was beach bumming in the island one more round for the last time.

How to Get There:
You can arrange your visit to Fihalhohi Island Resort (i.e. transfers to and from Male International Airport) when you book from their site or after the confirmation has been sent by Agoda or Booking.com. Male and Fihalhohi are separated by an hour of speedboat trip. Interesting to note that Fihalhohi is using a different time zone, an hour ahead of Male.

How Did I Get There:
Joining a group of 12 delegates from the Philippines (and Australia), LOL, who got lucky to score “free” tickets to Maldives, we arranged a speedboat ride from Maafushi Island to the Fihalhohi Island Resort. We need at least to experience the luxurious side of Maldives before we get back to Male. While it seems I enjoyed bird and fish watching in the resort, seeing couples in their honeymoon or in their retirement gave a different feeling. I wished that you were there too.
