Faadhippolhu Atoll, Administrative atoll in Maldives.

Faadhippolhu Atoll contains 54 islands, with only four inhabited ones: Naifaru, Hinnavaru, Kurendhoo, and Olhuvelifushi, spanning between 5° 15' N and 5° 35' N latitude.

The island of Maafilaafushi within the atoll functioned as the capital of the separatist Kingdom of Boduthiladhunmathi before its resettlement in the 1980s.

The administrative division carries the code letter Lh in the Thaana alphabet, while locals traditionally refer to it simply as Faadhippolhu without adding Atholhu.

Eight resorts distribute across the atoll, including Thilamaafushi, Kuredhu, Komandoo, and Kanuhuraa Palmbeach, with Madivaru Airport facilitating transportation to the region.

Felivaru island houses the only tuna canning factory in the Maldives, positioned strategically between the populated islands of Naifaru and Hinnavaru.
