Small in size but big in character, Fulidhoo Island is one of the most enchanting local islands in the Maldives. Just 57 km south of Malé, this peaceful hideaway in Vaavu Atoll is where turquoise lagoons meet local island life — a place that blends serenity, adventure, and authentic Maldivian culture.
