Hulhan'gu Lodge

Kaashidhoo sits at the northern edge of North Male Atoll. It's a proper inhabited island not one of the heavily developed tourist islands, not a resort island, and not on the standard local island travel shortlist that most budget Maldives guides produce. For the travellers who specifically want to avoid the shortlist, that's a recommendation.

Hulhangu Lodge gives guests a clean, friendly base on this island.

Quick Facts

What Kaashidhoo Offers

Kaashidhoo is an agricultural island in addition to a fishing community farms producing local fruits and vegetables exist here, which is unusual in the Maldives' otherwise import-dependent food system. The island has a character shaped by both fishing and farming that produces a distinctly different atmosphere from the purely fishing-community local islands.

The reef around Kaashidhoo is healthy benefiting from the lower tourist traffic that characterises undiscovered local islands throughout the Maldives.
