Dhiffushi (Dhivehi: ދިއްފުށި) is one of the inhabited islands of Kaafu Atoll. It is located next to Meerufenfushi. Dhiffushi was one of the first local islands to host a local guesthouse (Happy Life Maldives Guesthouse). The island has a hospital, a mosque, a local coffeehouse, two shops and there is a local soccer club. As of beginning of 2012 Dhiffushi council has started to build an industrial area next to the harbour in order to claim additional land.
