Hanimaadhoo is an isolated island of just 2,000 inhabitants located in the middle of turquoise waters around 300 km from the Maldivian capital—Male—in the archipelago’s Northern Province. It is also one the biggest islands by the Maldivian standards. Around seven kilometer long and 750 meter wide, Hanimaadhoo is surrounded by a white sand beach, a lagoon, house reef and dead corals. An airport, a village, a hospital, a school, a mosque, a post-office, and a police station are all that the island has apart from a climate observatory.
The island offers attractions like snorkeling round the clock, diving, dolphin watching, kayaking etc.
