North Maalhosmadulu

Raa Atoll spans across numerous islands and reef systems in the northern region of the Maldives, with Ungoofaaru serving as its capital center.

The atoll system formed over millions of years through the gradual accumulation of coral structures, creating the distinctive geological formations visible today.

Local communities in Raa Atoll maintain traditional fishing practices and crafts, including mat weaving and lacquer work, which define their maritime heritage.

Travelers can reach Raa Atoll through domestic flights at Ifuru Airport or by speedboat services from neighboring atolls in the Maldives.

The waters surrounding Raa Atoll contain marine sanctuaries where manta rays, sea turtles, and whale sharks migrate through deep channels between the reefs.
