About Guraidhoo
Guraidhoo is notable for its connection to a separate, uninhabited islet via a manmade causeway—an unusual feature in the Maldives. The main island spans 0.35 km² and hosts a population of 2,065 (2023). Its reef system includes a semi-enclosed lagoon used for anchorage, and the southern reef edge is a traditional bait fishing site. Guraidhoo’s vegetation includes coconut palms, screw pines, and cultivated banana and taro. The causeway links it to Kaafu Dhekunu Thilafalhu, allowing limited farming and recreation. The economy centers on fishing, retail, and public services. Infrastructure includes a school, mosque, health center, and harbor. The island has also historically functioned as a center for judicial administration in the region. Its reef flat and shallow lagoon support artisanal fisheries and maintain high marine biodiversity. The unique inter-island linkage via land route distinguishes Guraidhoo geographically within Kaafu Atoll.
