Island Visits

Where we've been, and when

We don't recommend islands we haven't walked. This is the record. Every entry is a real visit, usually Amosha, sometimes both of us, always with a mask and fins in the bag. The photos are from our phones. If a resort has changed since we were last there, this page tells you how long ago that was, so you can weigh what we say accordingly.

Raa Atoll

Afzal took us around the island during our stay, and here he is showing us the grand two-bedroom Presidential Water Villa. We arrived on a rainy afternoon, so we had to cocoon ourselves inside the villa for a while before we could finally step out and explore.

The food—and the sheer variety—completely bowled us over. The evening entertainment, on the other hand, got a little too relaxing! 😄

Cycling around the jetties was quite a challenge, especially with the strong winds blowing across the island. And honestly, two nights felt like far too little time here. We could have easily done with a couple more.
