Northern Maalhosmadulu Atoll, Natural atoll in the northern Maldives.

Northern Maalhosmadulu Atoll extends 71 kilometers in length and 26 kilometers in width, containing numerous coral reefs and shallow lagoons.

Captain Robert Moresby conducted the first accurate maritime survey of Northern Maalhosmadulu Atoll between 1834 and 1836, creating essential navigation charts.

The name Maalhosmadulu originates from the Dhivehi language, reflecting the traditional Maldivian practice of naming atolls after significant local islands.

Visitors reach Northern Maalhosmadulu Atoll through domestic flights to Ungoofaaru, followed by speedboat transfers to their final island destinations.

The southwestern quarter near Kandholhudhoo Island contains the highest concentration of coral patches within the atoll's maritime territory.
