An island with a natural habitat for turtles, a breeding ground and a huge sea grass bed which is a source of food for turtles. The favorable conditions of Maafaru reef system makes the island become one of the few islands to spot turtles. Maafaru is known as “turtle Island” due to the abundance of turtles around the island. In fact, the population of turtles has increased over the years due to decade’s old ban on turtles hunting in the Maldives. 

Maafaru is a typical Maldivian island with a natural habitat for the turtles, a white sandy beach for tourists to relax, a blue lagoon for swimming and a long reef for snorkeling. Our reefs are so rich that you would be amazed by the abundance of marine life. 

The natives are friendly by nature. Extending true Maldivian hospitality is the pleasure of locals living in Maafaru. The green environment, rich marine habitat and friendly people of Maafaru provides a holiday experience you have never experienced in your life.

Thinadhoo is only island in the Maldives with pure concessions of protecting the environment in its natural form by banning all types of electrical and motor vehicles in the island. 

We say “ no” to all types of vehicles. 

Located in Vaavu atoll, with its pristine waters and pearl white sands, Thinadhoo remains as one of the most praised islands in the Maldives for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. 

Vaavu atoll itself is the lowest populated atoll in the nation with only 5 inhabited islands in total. Of the 5 islands, Thinadhoo is the least populated, with the resident population amounting to a mere 231 people as of July, 2021. Its beauty and its unrivaled calmness are sought out by locals and foreign travelers alike. With just12 hectors of land comprising white sandy beaches, untouched woods, tropical jungles, a close-knit community and a freshly booming tourism sector. 

The marine fauna surrounding the island is mesmerizing to say the least. Friendly nurse sharks patrolling the island often come to the shoreline hunting schools of baitfish. Thinadhoo constitute a unified people, embracing the same ideologies and cultural values. Social and familial bonds are maintained closely.

The community keeps a close relationship with nature and her bounties, understanding the merit it brings and the importance of conservation. Elders are respected by the youth as they pour generations worth of knowledge, skills and wisdom. From weather predictions, navigations, fishing locations to life skills. The community as a whole is a determined people, guarding their socio-cultural values and advocating for the economic development of the island.

Thinadhoo is one of the smallest islands in the nation, yet blessed with valuable natural resources on and around her. The lush greenery of its small tropical jungle provides a habitat for plenty marine birds and those indigenous to the island.

The locals have been practicing the green tourism for decades beyond the expectation of eco tourist, an initiative, for the world to learn from…. A symbol of green tourism  and beyond
