Introduction to Malhos, Maldives
Malhaos is an island in the northern Maldives' Shaviyani Atoll, known for its tranquil natural surroundings and traditional Maldivian lifestyle. A relatively niche destination, it is away from the hustle and bustle and offers pristine sandy beaches, crystal clear lagoons and an abundance of marine life for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts to explore the coral reefs. With a small population and simple infrastructure, visitors can experience the local fishing culture and simple community atmosphere.
Location & Features
Located in the remote northern atolls of the Maldives, Malhaos relies heavily on boats for transportation and is a few hours boat ride from Male. The island is surrounded by unspoiled coral reefs, ideal for spotting turtles, tropical fish and reef sharks. Its economy is based on fishing, with few tourist facilities and an emphasis on ecological sustainability for travelers seeking escape and adventure.
Things to know about traveling
Visiting Malheurs requires advance arrangements for accommodation and transportation, and local B&Bs are recommended to support the community's economy. The best time to travel is during the dry season from December to April. Due to limited facilities, visitors should bring their own essentials and respect local Islamic cultural practices such as dressing appropriately. Environmental conservation is vital, avoid damaging coral or leaving trash behind.
