Hanimaadhoo — Local services in South Thiladhunmathi

Hanimaadhoo island is one the biggest islands in Maldives. Its length is approximately 7 km! And it is ‘just’ 750 m wide.

L'aéroport est donc à un bout de l'île, à côté il y a un petit village de 2500 habitants qui occupe tout le milieu de l'île et à l'autre bout il y a un bel hôtel The Barefoot Eco Hôtel. Le village est calme, les maisons sont colorées, les habitants vivent de la pêche, il y a une jolie plage, resto, école, poste de police, supérette...
