Hangnaameedhoo
A small inhabited island in the north of South Ari Atoll with a long white-sand beach and quiet guesthouses, ideal for a slow-paced holiday and snorkelling.
Hangnaameedhoo is a small local island at the northern end of South Ari Atoll, with a long stretch of white sand and few visitors, so the pace is relaxed. Guesthouses can arrange whale shark and manta ray snorkelling, dolphin cruises, sandbank picnics and day trips to nearby resort islands. The speedboat trip from Malé takes about 1 hour 15 minutes, or you can transfer via Mahibadhoo. Local island rules apply here too: alcohol is banned, and bikinis are allowed only on designated beaches.
