Dotting the Indian Ocean, Lhaviyani Atoll, also known as Faadhippolhu Atoll, is an administrative division of the Maldives situated just below Baa Atoll and is made up of 50 islands, only a handful of which are inhabited. The atoll’s islands are fringed by white sand beaches lapped by impossibly crystal-clear waters. Visitors can browse the mother-of-pearl handicrafts at the capital of Naifaru, and visit the resort islands such as Palm Beach, Kanuhuraa, Komandoo, and Kuredhu. Popular activities include snorkelling, scuba diving, island hopping, swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit a desert island, discover the colourful underwater wonderland, and enjoy a sunset cruise while spotting dolphins.
