See and do

The main draw there is undoubtfully beaches,the bikini beach on the island is very small.

• Bikini beach You can also snorkel and see Mantas, Stingrays and some sharks which will swim away once you try to get close to them.. However, its coral reef has started degrading due to touristic activity and perhaps will die off in several years. And yay, bikinis are allowed here, in opposite to all other beach areas on the island where it's strictly prohibited.

• Masjid Hudha - Great for a prayer at a local mosque

• Picnic Island - Madivaru Island | Accessible by boat which could be arranged by any of the hotels. It is cheaper to ask a local fisherman to take you there. Just negotiate price and time with the fisherman

Diving and snorkelling

One even doesn't need a mask to spot myriads of fishes, some of which can easily be seen yet from the beach: sharks, manta rays, etc.

• Rasdhoo Dive Centre - The leading dive centre. It offers a variety of accommodation along with food, diving, snorkeling, motorized water sports and yoga facilities.

• Rasdhoo Dive club

Lots of shops selling souvenirs. Not much less of grocery shops with very extensive range of products from all over the world, which is quite surprising and they also sell some fruits and vegetables.

Any place on the island will readily accept US dollars as a payment, but not cards.

• Bank of Maldives, Rasdhoo branch It has 24-hr ATM with Rf10,000 maximum withdrawal limit + Rf100 fee. Exchange rates are no not that good, so it's better to change money in Male.

Halal Restaurants in Rasdhoo

• Coffee Ole Nice place to drink a good cup of Coffee. Menu is somehow limited to about a dozen of options, of which soups are better to avoid, some sorts of fried Noodles are tasty. They also try to promote some meals that can be prepared by only preordering them one day in advance.
