About Olhuveli
Olhuveli lies in southern Kaafu Atoll, bordered by clear lagoons and seasonal sandbanks. Its wide beaches host turtle nesting sites, while surrounding coral reefs support butterflyfish, surgeonfish, and reef sharks. Mangrove pockets add coastal resilience and birdlife habitat. Once a fishing outpost, Olhuveli is now a marine tourism hub. Divers explore drop-offs with overhangs, while snorkelers enjoy the lively house reef. Seasonal plankton blooms draw manta rays and whale sharks, making it a prime location for wildlife encounters. Conservation work focuses on maintaining healthy coral cover to sustain the island’s biodiversity and protect its natural allure.
