Ukulhas
އުކުޅަސް
An eco-conscious resident island in North Ari Atoll, with a white, wide bikini beach about 1 km long. Nearby you can snorkel with manta rays and turtles.
Ukulhas is one of the first resident islands in the Maldives to introduce waste sorting and composting. Its streets are neat, and the long bikini beach on the island's north side is one of the most beautiful on any resident island. Local guesthouses offer manta ray snorkelling, turtle snorkelling, sandbank picnics and South Ari whale shark tours, and visitors can also buy day passes to nearby resort islands. It takes about 1 hour 15 minutes by speedboat from Malé, with several departures daily. Alcohol is banned on resident islands, and outside the bikini beach, modest dress is required.
