Local islands follow Maldivian law and custom; your planner explains what is and is not possible before you commit.

With 2 registered guest houses, Dhonfanu in Baa (South Maalhosmadulu) Atoll is a local island rather than a resort, and that changes the shape of an event. Guests stay in guest houses among the community; the ceremony can go on the bikini beach set aside for visitors, or on a sandbank reached by dhoni; and the island council, not a resort's events team, gives the permissions. We handle that part.

The events we plan on Dhonfanu are Maldivian weddings, guest-house elopements, beach dinners and family celebrations. We bring the design, the florals, the vendors and the rundown, and we agree the rest with the guest house and the island council. The transfer from Malé is by public ferry, scheduled speedboat or domestic flight, confirmed with your dates.

What is possible on a local island, and what is not?

Local islands follow Maldivian law and custom; your planner explains what is and is not possible before you commit. A ceremony on the bikini beach set aside for visitors, a sandbank by dhoni, a dinner in a guest-house garden or on the harbour front are the usual shapes; foreign couples marry symbolically in the Maldives, with the legal paperwork done at home.
