Goidhoo

Goidhoo is a southern inhabited island in Baa Atoll with a relaxed atmosphere and a community engaged in fishing and small-scale agriculture. Located in the Goifulhafehendhu (Horsburgh) Atoll section, the island's relatively large area supports both residential and farming spaces, creating a greener environment than many coral islands. Goidhoo's residents maintain traditional livelihoods while gradually developing modern amenities. The island features a school, health center, and local shops. Visitors can experience the tranquility of island life, enjoy fresh local produce and seafood, and explore the island's beaches and natural environment. Goidhoo's balance of agriculture and fishing represents the economic diversity that sustains communities in the southern reaches of the Biosphere Reserve.
