About Fehendhoo
With less than 120 residents, Fehendhoo is among the least populated islands in Baa Atoll, spread across 11.4 hectares. However it has a registered population of 312 people. Its shallow lagoon is home to extensive mangroves and seagrass meadows that support juvenile sharks, crabs, and seabirds. The island’s dense vegetation includes coconut palms and tropical hardwoods. Fishing is the primary occupation, with a handful of guesthouses providing quiet, nature-based stays. Basic facilities include a mosque, school, and limited health services. Fehendhoo’s low human footprint and diverse habitats make it a model for low-impact, biodiversity-focused tourism.
