    Resort Description

    Plankton's Beach is a waterfront hotel on Hulhumale Island, Maldives.

    Diving in this region of the Maldives is great for convenience and variety. Choose from coral walls, drop-offs, caves and shallow reefs. Sealife includes mantas, octopus, reef sharks, turtles and many species of fish and macro creatures.

    The hotel is a triple story white building with tall windows. The interior has fresh white walls, offset with turquoise furnishings. Each room is air conditioned and comes with a TV plus drinking water, a kettle, coffee, tea and snacks. 

    There is a restaurant on the ground floor serving international dishes. You may eat at the hotel, in your room or on the beach. 

    Massage and spa options can be arranged on request. 

    Explore diving around the Plankton's Beach

    What to see

    The North Male Atoll is famous for its variety of species. Elsewhere in the Maldives, divers don’t gape at beautiful corals, but in the North Male Atoll, many of the reefs are extremely healthy and provide shelter for a ton of marine life. Frogfish, moray eels, nudibranchs, schools of fusiliers and hundreds of other colorful fish species reside here.

    While the neighboring Ari Atoll is more famed for its pelagic species, spotting something big is not a rarity in the North Male Atoll either. It is not uncommon to see manta rays, whale sharks, hammerheads, hawksbill turtles, grey reef sharks and eagle rays on occasion.

    Wherever you dive in the North Male Atoll, you are sure to be astounded by both the variety of environments and species you encounter in just a few dives.
