SHARK ISLAND

Fuvahmulah, Maldives

Fuvahmulah is a unique island gem in the Maldives, famous for its rich marine biodiversity and unparalleled underwater experiences. Unlike any other Maldivian atoll, Fuvahmulah stands alone in the deep blue, creating a diverse ecosystem that attracts a variety of ocean giants, including the elusive tiger sharks, whale sharks and hammerheads. The island's pristine coral reefs, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic drop-offs make it a world-class destination for diving enthusiasts. Above the water, Fuvahmulah offers a glimpse into authentic Maldivian life, with lush tropical landscapes, freshwater lakes, and a vibrant local culture. A visit to Fuvahmulah is more than just a dive trip; it’s a journey into the heart of the Maldives’ natural beauty and heritage.

Farewell

After savouring a last breakfast at your island retreat, it's time to prepare for your flight back to Malé. We've got your transfer to the harbour all organised.
