About this place
Between June and November, Hanifaru Bay fills with feeding manta rays — sometimes dozens at once — and resorts run snorkelling trips into the melee. Villas on stilts, sandbank dinners and pathological levels of quiet complete the picture. Skip the seaplane-at-dusk risk by booking flights that land in Malé before mid-afternoon.
