Explore Vaavu's Shark-Filled Reefs
If you want to get up close and personal with some nurse sharks, then Fulidhoo is just the place for you. With over a 100 resident nurse sharks, Alimatha House Reef can make anyone feel brave as these friendly ocean dwellers swim up around and against you. If you’re an experienced diver looking for a challenge, or if you are into drift diving, this Atoll has something for you too. Vaavu is home to Miyaru Kandu (literally Shark Channel) which has a depth of about 33 to 100ft, with mild to strong current and is populated with gray reef sharks and white tip shaarks and even some Mantas!
Unlike most places around the Maldives, Vaavu is home to just two resorts, which means that you can almost always guarantee a vacation away from any crowds!
And the best part? You don’t need to travel too far to get here. So if you’re looking for a quiet vacation, or a quiet and serene diving experience, then catch the next speed boat to Vaavu Atoll.

As your speedboat enters Fulidhoo Lagoon, string rays will most likely be the first to welcome you! Roused by the sound of engines, sting rays often swim up to the arriving vessels looking for a free meal—and what a way to start a holiday!
Fulidhoo Dive & Water Sports is PADI 5 Star dive center with a friendly team who love the sea as much as you do. If you want to get or even upgrade your dive certificate, then these guys can make that happen.
One of the best spots for diving and snorkeling populated with all the must-see fishes. And that’s not all. You can even add snorkelling at a shipwreck or visiting a deserted sandbank to your itinerary.
There’s many different types of accommodation to pick from, from sea view rooms to quiet neighborhoods to family rooms—Fulidhoo has it all.
Heads Up!
Speedboat transfers from Male’ to Fulidhoo are usually scheduled only once per day, so you will need to keep a close eye on the speedboat schedule when you plan your vacation.
Wild-life sightings are not always predictable, and though they will try their best to make your experience worthwhile–it is ultimately beyond the control of the service provider.
Local islands are distinctly different from resorts, in that you share the island with locals. With the tourism boom in the island, you will find many guest houses under construction.
Local islands also do not have the same resources and capacity as resorts:, some issues such as waste management. Be forewarned that you may come across unsightly sites on your evening stroll around the island (this is beyond the guest house’s control).
Fulidhoo is a very small island, there is one or two small cafes on the island and only two tiny shops. Keep in mind that you should bring everything other than basic necessities with you.
Alcohol is not available since its a local island.
