Faadhippolhu

Built around the coral islands and lagoon of Faadhippolhu Atoll, Lhaviyani grew into a northern Maldivian administrative atoll whose scattered communities remain closely tied to the Indian Ocean. Its low-lying islands sit on a reef system of shallow water, channels and sandy shores, with resort islands separated from inhabited settlements. Naifaru, the atoll’s administrative centre, is one of the places where the Maldives’ long fishing tradition still shapes everyday life. Lhaviyani lies north of Malé and reflects the wider archipelago’s reliance on reefs for travel, fishing and coastal protection.
