The Wild South Awaits

Fuvahmulah invites divers to encounter tiger sharks in their natural environment, while Addu Atoll enchants visitors with calm lagoons and WWII heritage sites.

With its white terns overhead and vibrant communities, this is the Maldives’ most adventurous frontier.

Frontier of Untamed Beauty

Known together as Huvadhoo, these twin atolls form one of the largest natural reef systems on the planet.

Vast lagoons and deep channels attract pelagic life, making it a paradise for divers and explorers.

The skies above are home to colonies of endangered lesser frigatebirds, adding to the wild southern charm.

Where History Meets the Tide

These atolls were once the centre of the cowrie-shell trade that linked the Maldives with ancient Asian markets.

Today, travellers can uncover remnants of Buddhist stupas and early trading harbours that speak to a rich past.

The surrounding lagoons and coral reefs remain untouched and full of life, far from modern crowds.

Beneath the waves, divers discover wrecks, reef walls, and coral gardens that define the nation’s aquatic spirit.

A Biosphere of Wonders

This region hosts the UNESCO-listed Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve, one of the world’s most diverse marine sanctuaries.

Here, manta rays and whale sharks gather seasonally in Hanifaru Bay, creating unforgettable natural spectacles.
