The story

A sandbank is an island that has not committed yet — a bar of white sand a few hundred metres long with nothing on it. No trees, no jetty, no other people.

The boat drops you with a parasol, a cooler and a grilled lunch, and leaves. For four hours the entire horizon is water and the only sound is it arriving. People go quiet out there in a way they do not on a resort beach.

What happens

The plan as the operator runs it. Start times and pickup are confirmed for your date.

  1. Speedboat from your resort or Malé, four hours on the sandbank with lunch and snorkel gear, back mid-afternoon.
