Baa, Raa, Noonu & Lhaviyani Atolls

The atolls to the north of Malé, reached by seaplane or domestic flight, with twelve of the twenty-four hotels. They lie an atoll or two apart from one another. Baa, a UNESCO biosphere reserve since 2011, has Hanifaru Bay and its mantas; Raa and Noonu lie beyond it, where the private islands are; Lhaviyani, to the east, has its channels and dive sites.

Ari Atoll

The long atoll west of Malé, with whale sharks along the South Ari reef the year round. It is made up of North and South Ari and is reached by seaplane or by domestic flight to Maamigili, at its southern end. The north has its dive sites, the wide inner lagoon lies between the two, and three of the twenty-four hotels are here.

Dhaalu & the Southern Atolls

The atolls south of the Ari and Malé groups, further from the airport and quieter for it. Dhaalu is forty-five minutes by seaplane. Far to the south, across the One and a Half Degree Channel, Gaafu Alifu lies on the rim of Huvadhu, one of the largest natural atolls in the world, reached by domestic flight to Kooddoo. Two of the twenty-four hotels are here.
