Where we are based in the Maldives
Naifaru
Located in the Lhaviyani Atoll, a 40 minute seaplane flight north of the capital Male, Naifaru is a small island that’s home to approximately 5,000 people. It is one of the most densely populated islands in the Maldives, offering a more authentic look at local life than a typical tourist resort.
Naifaru is famous for its fishing industry and skilled traditional craftsmanship. It has a tropical climate and friendly community, making it an authentic way to access the culture of the Maldives.
