The Diving Highlights
Villa Park’s location provides elite access to the Maldives' most iconic marine life:
Maamigili Beyru (Whale Shark Point): The best location in the Maldives for year-round whale shark sightings.
Kudarah Thila ("Fish Soup"): Famous for its sheer density of life, including schools of Bluestripe Snapper, Giant Trevally, and Grey Reef Sharks.
Manta Point: A prime spot to witness majestic Manta Rays during feeding or "fly-by" encounters.
Bodufinolhu Thila: A bustling cleaning station where you can watch sharks and rays being groomed by cleaner fish. Nitrox is recommended for more bottom time.
Hurolhi Corner: An exhilarating drift dive for those who enjoy current-based encounters. Nitrox is recommended for more bottom time.
Non-divers are well catered for too, with snorkelling experiences including manta, turtle and whale shark snorkels, night snorkelling, or the popular “Safari Express” that combines the highlights in one outing (conditions and seasonality apply).
