About Dhaalu Atoll
Dhaalu Atoll is known in the Maldives travel world for two of its most architecturally distinctive resorts — The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, inspired by the form of a manta ray, and Niyama Private Islands, which spans two islands connected by a bridge. The atoll's central position makes it accessible by seaplane while still offering the sense of remoteness that discerning travellers seek. The reefs here are excellent, with manta ray cleaning stations and shark encounters among the highlights.
