South Ari Atoll

Alif Dhaalu stretches from the central reaches of Ari Atoll to its southern outer reefs, encompassing low coral islands, shallow lagoons, and open Indian Ocean channels. This Maldivian administrative atoll is formed by scattered islands whose daily life remains closely tied to the sea, from fishing boats to inter-island travel. Its waters include the South Ari Marine Protected Area, known for regular whale-shark encounters; the reefs also support turtles, rays, and tropical fish. Dhigurah is among the inhabited islands, while resort islands occupy others, reflecting the Maldives’ mix of local communities and tourism.
