Resort profile · Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll

Outrigger Konotta Maldives Resort

Outrigger Konotta is one of the few full-service international resorts in the far south of the country, in Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll (see our Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll guide) — a genuinely different region to the central resort atolls covered by most of this directory.

What makes the location different

As with Shangri-La's Villingili Resort in neighbouring Addu Atoll, reaching this resort means a domestic flight rather than the seaplane transfers used by most central-atoll resorts — see our southern atolls logistics guide for how that works.

Who it suits

A reasonable pick for travellers who specifically want the far south's quieter, less-visited character combined with a full-service resort experience, rather than the local-island-only alternative most of the southern atolls otherwise offer.

This is a factual overview, not a booking recommendation — confirm current villa categories, inclusions and rates directly with the resort or a travel agent.
