On a map of the Maldives, Alifu Alifu is North Ari, the administrative atoll coded AA, in the central Maldives, around Malé. We count 13 resort islands and 7 local islands with guest houses in it, and every one is listed below.
The islands run from Kandolhu Maldives with 30 villas to Kuramathi Island Resort with 395: the difference between a private beach for twenty and a ballroom for a conference. Getting there is by seaplane in 20 to 25 minutes or speedboat in 30 to 65 minutes from Velana International Airport, booked through the resort. Tell us your guest count and we will say which of the 13 fit it.
We have not yet published a project from Alifu Alifu. The nearest work on the site is in Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, to the south, and it is shown below as nearby work rather than as Alifu Alifu's own. Tell us your resort and dates and we will confirm the venue's policy on outside planners within 24 hours.

Resorts in Alifu Alifu.
Every resort island in the atoll, those with published work first. Each page carries the transfer, the villa count and the resort's policy on outside planners.

Seasons and light.
Two monsoons shape a year in Alifu Alifu. Iruvai, the north-east monsoon from late November to early April, is the dry season of clear skies and still lagoons; Hulhangu, the south-west monsoon from April to November, brings short showers, dramatic cloud and the best sunsets. Alifu Alifu shares Malé's weather almost exactly, so the seasonal notes on our journal apply here without adjustment. Every event we plan carries a rain plan whatever the month, and the nakaiy calendar explains what each fortnight of the year tends to bring.
Questions about Alifu Alifu.
Which resort in Alifu Alifu should we choose?
It depends on your guest count, your budget and whether the resort admits outside planners. The smallest island in Alifu Alifu is Kandolhu Maldives with 30 villas; the largest is Kuramathi Island Resort with 395. Tell us the numbers and we will propose three islands that fit.
How do we get to Alifu Alifu Atoll?
From Velana International Airport in Malé by seaplane in 20 to 25 minutes or speedboat in 30 to 65 minutes, booked through the resort. Our team and the flowers travel on the same transfer, usually the morning before the event.
Can we bring you as our planner to a resort in Alifu Alifu?
Most Maldivian resorts welcome a planner and stylist booked by the couple or the company, working alongside their own events team; a few run everything in-house. We confirm the current policy of the resort you name within 24 hours of your enquiry, and if it is closed to outside vendors we say so plainly.
What does a wedding or event in Alifu Alifu cost?
There are no fixed packages. Every event is designed and quoted on its own: our fee on one line, the resort and the vendors at cost on the others, with government taxes (GST) and the 10 % service charge shown. A proposal with the full cost breakdown arrives within five days and is held for five; a 50 % deposit confirms production.
When is the best season in Alifu Alifu?
Iruvai, from late November to early April, is the dry season and the busiest; December is peak across the Maldives, so book early. Hulhangu, from April to November, brings short showers and the best sunsets. We work in both, with a wet-weather venue in every plan.
