Maldives. Haa Alifu Atoll. Open left menu Haa Alif Atoll Interesting facts about Maalhos Island

Haa Alif Atoll is an archipelago of 40 islands in the north of the Maldives, little explored by tourists. The first resorts in the region opened less than 10 years ago, but even in such a short period of time they managed to conquer those who want to combine the incompatible - modern luxury and complete unity with paradise nature.

On the island of Matheerah there is an ancient mausoleum with a sacred tomb, to which Sufi Muslims still make pilgrimages, and the island itself has been awarded the honorary title “Noble”. Perhaps this is the only man-made attraction in the archipelago.

Diving and fishing

The straits between the islands on Haa Alif Atoll are much wider and shallower than in the rest of the Maldives, so underwater currents are almost invisible, and diving can be practiced by complete beginners.

One of the most popular diving spots is located off the island of Filadhoo - near its shores in the 1960s. the ship sank. Now lying at a depth of 14 m, the ship is a paradise for corals, generously clinging to its metal frame. Groupers, snappers, and yellowtails scurry between the windows, and stingrays, like airplanes, one by one “patrol” the rusty hulk. If you're lucky, you might see reef sharks.

To the northeast of Ihawandhoo Island there is another top diving location - a shallow thila (sunken island). It is home to huge stingrays, soft corals and other marine life. Individual parts of the thila have protrusions that are inhabited by lobsters and lionfish. And in small caves you can see the famous puffer fish.
