Located at the very north of the Maldives, this island in Haa Alif Atoll is a must-visit if you’re looking for a truly Maldives vacay in an island. And there’s no better time to visit this place than this. Why?
Recently, Maldives celebrated the inauguration of its northernmost airport, the 13th domestic airport in the country. Before this, people had a hard time transporting as the only airport nearby was Hanimaadhoo Airport in Haa Dhaal Atoll. So the Hoarafushi Airport has paved the road for tourism development in the whole of Ihavandhippolhu region. And here lies the stunning Uligan.
Locals that are ready to offer a warm welcome and amaze you with the traditions, beautiful greenery, a stunning beach and colourful marine life that surrounds the tropical island- the perfect combination for an island getaway that gives you a true taste of local life. The island is already quite popular among cruises and yachts that often stop by.
Make a visit to the Modern mosque inspired by the famous and historic Friday Mosque (Hukuru Miskih) and minaret (Munnaaru) in the capital, Male'. Enjoy the sun, sand and sea at the soft white sand beach and the magnificent turquoise blue lagoon. Admire the historical coral-rock houses. Experience it all while you stay at a luxury resort and take an excursion to this island, or you can even stay at a guesthouse in Hoarafushi.
