Felidhu Atoll

Felidhu Atoll contains 19 islands within its geographical boundaries, including both inhabited locations like Felidhoo and uninhabited territories such as Aarah and Alimathaa.

The atoll marks its presence in Maldivian maritime records as a significant navigational point, with Thinadhoo once featuring a coral stone mosque until the 1980s.

Local communities maintain traditional fishing practices and boat-building techniques, passing these maritime skills through generations of island inhabitants.

Access to the atoll requires either a 90-minute speedboat journey or a 5-hour traditional dhoni boat ride from Male, with multiple accommodation options across different islands.

Fotteyo Falhu within the atoll extends for 50 kilometers, forming the longest unbroken barrier reef structure throughout the Maldives.
