Club Kaafu Maldives is a guest house on Dhiffushi, an inhabited local island in North Malé Atoll. It is on Dhiffushi itself, among the island’s own community rather than on a private resort island.
Best for
Club Kaafu Maldives suits travellers who would rather stay on a local island than at a resort, spending their days on Dhiffushi’s beaches, on the water and on boat excursions run from the island.
It suits less well anyone who wants a bar or a drink with dinner, because alcohol is available only on resort islands, or anyone who wants the privacy and service of a resort.
Location
The listed address is Beach Road Ground Floor, 08030 Dhiffushi, Maldives. Its map coordinates fall on Dhiffushi, which is why we list it under Dhiffushi in our North Malé Atoll section. It is about 35.0 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport and about 37.8 km from Malé. Distances on this page are straight-line figures, not journey times.
Rooms and style at Club Kaafu Maldives
Club Kaafu Maldives is a guest house. On a local island, expect a smaller and simpler set-up than at a resort. Compare the room categories for bed set-up, bathroom, air conditioning and outlook before you choose. Every room is listed with a tea and coffee maker.
Facilities at Club Kaafu Maldives
Listed facilities at Club Kaafu Maldives include non-smoking rooms, a restaurant, room service, free Wi-Fi, family rooms, a beachfront position and a private beach area. Between the restaurant and room service, meals can be handled on site. A private beach area is listed, which matters on a local island where swimwear rules differ between beaches, so confirm where it is and how guests use it.
Trade-offs and what to know
On Dhiffushi, local-island rules apply: shoulders and knees should be covered in the village and at any beach that is not a designated tourist beach. Friday is the weekly day of rest, when shops close for prayers and public ferry services are reduced. Boat transfers depend on sea conditions, so leave some slack before an international flight.
Getting there and getting around
Dhiffushi is reached from Malé or the airport by speedboat, or more slowly and cheaply by public ferry from Malé on scheduled days. Once there, the island is small enough to explore on foot.

Before you book
Before booking Club Kaafu Maldives, confirm the room type and outlook, whether breakfast or other meals are included, how and when the airport transfer runs and what it costs, and the cancellation terms. If you arrive late in the day, ask whether a boat can still run after dark.
