Maafushi, Inhabited island in Kaafu Atoll, Maldives.
Located 26 kilometers south of Male, Maafushi stretches over one kilometer in length and features white sand beaches along its elongated coastline.
The 2004 tsunami severely impacted Maafushi, leading to the reconstruction of homes and implementation of new infrastructure systems for displaced residents.
The island maintains traditional Maldivian customs while operating under a local council of five members who manage community affairs and development.
Travelers can reach Maafushi from Male International Airport via speedboat in 30 minutes or by public ferry service in 90 minutes.
As the foremost local tourism destination in Maldives, Maafushi contains over 72 guest houses, making it the most accommodating inhabited island nationwide.
