Gili Lankanfushi and Paradise Island are two of North Male Atoll's most celebrated resort beaches the kind of beaches that appear in Maldives photography as the reference standard for what Indian Ocean sand and water should look like. Sunset Holidays on Huraa Island places a local island guesthouse in the geographic company of these two exceptional natural environments, offering the specific quality of a holiday that has access to the atoll's best natural splendour without the resort price tag that Gili Lankanfushi or Paradise Island require.
The sunset in the name is the daily event that justifies the choice Huraa Island's west-facing sections produce the North Male Atoll sunset at its most unobstructed.
