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

With 17 registered guest houses, Keyodhoo in Vaavu (Felidhu) 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 Keyodhoo 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.

Our published work so far is on resort islands, and none yet in Vaavu Atoll. The nearest is in Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, to the west, shown below as nearby work rather than as Keyodhoo's own.

Questions about Keyodhoo.

Do you plan weddings and celebrations on Keyodhoo?

Yes. Keyodhoo is a local island in Vaavu (Felidhu) Atoll with 17 registered guest houses. We plan Maldivian weddings, guest-house elopements, beach dinners and family celebrations there, with the guest house you are staying at and the island council. There is no resort policy to check.

How do we get to Keyodhoo?

Local islands are reached from Malé by public ferry, scheduled speedboat or domestic flight, depending on the island and the day. We do not quote a time until we have your dates; then we confirm the route with the guest house and book the same transfer for our team and the flowers.

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.

What does a celebration on Keyodhoo cost?

There are no fixed packages. Every event is designed and quoted on its own, with our fee on one line, the guest house and the vendors at cost on the others, and 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.
