Maldives on a Budget

One of the populated islands in Baa Atoll is Dharavandhoo. The island lies 116.53 kilometres (72 mi, 63 nmi) north of Malé, the capital of the country. A haven for numerous marine creatures, such as manta rays and whale sharks, the island is surrounded by pristine waters called Dharavandhoo Thila and Hanifaru Straight, which are popular among divers from all over the world. At present, laws are strictly enforced to safeguard this highly valued eco-life area.


The account of my trip to the Baa Atoll is in part on this site. I also visited Fehendhoo, Fulhadhoo, Goidhoo, Thulhaadhoo, Maalhos, Kamadhoo, and Dhonfanu besides Dharavandhoo. The link to the following island is at the bottom of the site.


My last destination during my journey across the Baa Atoll was the island of Dharavandhoo, which I arrived at from Kamadhoo on local ferry.


Even though Dharavandhoo is merely 1.5 km long, the airport occupying the southern half of the island has a runway that extends the entire length of the island. Therefore, Dharavandhoo is the transport hub of Baa Atoll.
