Thulusdhoo
ތުލުސްދޫ
The administrative center of an island in North Malé Atoll, famous for the world-class surf breaks known as Cokes and Chickens. It is also home to the Maldives' only Coca-Cola bottling plant.
Thulusdhoo sits on the eastern edge of North Malé Atoll. Its bottling plant produces Coca-Cola using desalinated seawater, which is why surfers call the right-hand wave off the island Cokes, while the left-hand wave nearby is called Chickens. The island has surf schools, guesthouses, and bikini beaches, and offers a full range of boat excursions, including snorkeling and sandbank trips, in a relaxed atmosphere. From Malé, the public ferry takes about 1.5 hours (no service on Fridays), and a speedboat takes about 30 minutes. The sea is calm outside the surf season (November to April), making it suitable for snorkeling. As a residential island, it prohibits alcohol and requires modest dress.
