Peacefull and beautiful island. For those who want to experience the Maldives in a natural way, without expensive and luxurious resorts, living in contact with healthy, peaceful and welcoming people. There are not big hotel, life for aperitifs, pubs with music ... Very nice you have the nearby Sand Island all by itself; you can reach it by crossing the sea on foot or with a rowboat. In the Sand island there is nothing but white sand and a little green; very pleasant to rest in the shade of the plants, in absolute silence, immersed in a fantastic sea. Sometimes boats bring tourists from the neighbors atolls to this islandresort; when they leave there is a lot of waste but then someone goes to clean up everything. Attenction to thieving magpies; they take things that you leave themselves unattended ... they took me a component of the camera. The photo represents the relaxation described.

Snorkeling near the shore is not rich but it is better than many other places in the world; to enjoy the classic snorkeling of the maldives you have to reach...

One of the beautiful island and yet historical. Brought up as fishing villages from their ancestors and now with 800 families. The real beauty at another side of the island you can see especially their coconut trees which brings holiday moods. And blue lagoon in between one of the most incredible view that we can have here. Few small guests house for those wish to enjoy beautiful place and truly Maldivian hospitality. Also to know...
