With 20 registered guest houses, Rasdhoo in Alifu Alifu (North Ari) 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 Rasdhoo 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.

Questions about Rasdhoo.
Do you plan weddings and celebrations on Rasdhoo?
Yes. Rasdhoo is a local island in Alifu Alifu (North Ari) Atoll with 20 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 Rasdhoo?
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 We do not quote a time until we have your dates; then we confirm the route with the guest house and book the same transfer for our team and the flowers.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 Rasdhoo 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.
