Why we'd send you to Safari Island Resort
Safari Island Resort on Dhigufinolhu Island in North Ari Atoll has earned its reputation as one of the premier diving destinations in the Maldives. Operated by AAA Hotels & Resorts — the Maldives' leading local hospitality group — the resort benefits from decades of experience in Maldivian service and a deep understanding of the marine ecosystem that surrounds it. North Ari Atoll is considered one of the top five dive atolls in the world, with whale shark encounters possible year-round, seasonal manta ray aggregations, schooling hammerheads at select sites, and some of the most colourful and intact coral reef systems in the Indian Ocean.
