ABOUT FUVAHMULAH

THE ISLAND

Situated in the southern region of Maldives, Fuvahmulah is the only one island, one atoll of the nation. Often described as one of the most beautiful local islands in the Maldives, the island gets its name from the areca nut - Fuvah, in the local Dhivehi language. Fuvahmulah offers some of the world's best tiger shark diving while retaining its local island charm.
