Naifaru

Naifaru is best known in the Maldives as the administrative centre of Lhaviyani Atoll. This compact inhabited island lies among the coral reefs and lagoon waters of the Indian Ocean, in the country’s northern atoll chain. Rather than a resort enclave, it is a working local community, with fishing and small businesses shaping everyday life. Its streets, mosques and harbour reflect the settled-island side of Maldivian society, where Dhivehi is the national language and Islam is central to public life. Naifaru also provides local government and services for communities across the atoll. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Lhaviyani Atoll.
