    Veli Thoddoo Inn is located in the center of the island, approximately a 15-minute walk from the main tourist beach on the west side. From the inn, head west along any of the sandy roads, passing local homes and fruit plantations. Follow signs for 'Sunset Beach' or 'Tourist Beach'. The beach is marked by a fence made of dry palm leaves. There are no sidewalks, so be mindful of local traffic (mostly bicycles and scooters).

Biking is a popular way to get around the island, allowing you to explore the plantations and village at your own pace. Be aware that the roads are sandy, so some effort may be required. Typical bicycle rental: MVR 50-100 per day.
