About Finey
Finey is an inhabited island in the northern Maldives, set within Thiladhunmathi Atoll. The island’s fertile soils have long supported a vibrant agricultural tradition, with yams, bananas, coconuts, and vegetables cultivated across expansive plots that historically drew neighbours to trade produce. Surrounding waters host Finey Thila, a designated marine protected area celebrated for its colorful soft corals and diverse reef life, including eagle rays, Napoleon wrasse, and grey reef sharks, making it a notable site for marine biodiversity. Mangroves and green landscapes shape Finey’s natural character, while community heritage is reflected in its cultivated lands and enduring island life.
