Felidhoo

Felidhoo is the capital of Vaavu Atoll (Felidhu Atoll), the smallest administrative atoll in the Maldives in terms of population. Located approximately 78 km south of Malé, Felidhoo is a peaceful island with a close-knit fishing community. The island covers 14.2 hectares and features a school, health center, and local shops serving its small population. Felidhoo's residents maintain traditional fishing practices and a lifestyle centered on the ocean. The island is surrounded by reefs on both sides — Masfalhi Falhu to the north and Saalanfalhu to the south. Visitors can experience authentic Maldivian island life at its most intimate, enjoy fresh seafood, and explore the island's beaches and lagoon. Felidhoo's serene environment and genuine hospitality make it ideal for travelers seeking solitude and a genuine connection with traditional island culture.
