About Ithaafushi
Ithaafushi, or “Pearl Island,” sits in southern Kaafu Atoll surrounded by turquoise waters. Its coral gardens host parrotfish, wrasses, and reef sharks, while seagrass beds attract green turtles. Historically a stopover for fishing boats, it is now known for its luxury tourism while maintaining reef protection programs. Nearby dive sites offer steep walls and coral plateaus teeming with marine life. Turtle nesting areas are actively monitored to ensure successful hatching. With pristine beaches and vibrant reefs, Ithaafushi is a valuable ecological and recreational site.
