Thiladhunmathi

Description

Thiladhunmati Atoll (Tiladummati in the Admiralty Charts) is a very open, atypical atoll without a clearly delimited lagoon. It stretches SSW for 76 km and contains nearly forty islands generally of a fair size. Kelaa, a large island forms a prominent point in the NE of this atoll. The western boundary has fewer islands but more isolated reefs or micro-atolls (faru), with wide passages between them. The German explorer Hans Hass observed the formation of this phenomenon called 'micro-atoll' by Porites corals in the Maldives. Faru is the Dhivehi word for these reef structures. Its lagoon has few shoals, but many large faru, often topped with islands; the average depth is from 18 to 24 fathoms (33 to 44m).

The Miladummadulu group is also naturally a part of Thiladhunmati Atoll. This part’s length is 81 km and it contains 101 islands. The general depth of the centre of this part is 20 to 25 fathoms (37 to 46 m) and the bottom is sandy. Along its western edges there are not many islands, but more detached reefs with shallow lagoons (vilu) which seldom exceed 10 fathoms (18 m) in depth. Vilu is the Dhivehi word for these lovely shallow lagoons.

Hanimaadhoo International Airport is an airport located on the island of Hanimaadhoo[ in Haa Dhaalu Atoll, Maldives, opened as a domestic airport. It was upgraded to an international airport on 2 February 2012, with the introduction of direct flights to Thiruvananthapuram in India by Maldivian. 

Thiladhunmathi atoll (also refered as Haa Alif Atoll - Ha) has one of most clearest pristine beaches in the Maldives.  You can spend 1000US$ per night or less than 100USD$ per day to enjoy it. The scenery and the beauty is the same in both cases! The latter options gives you the choice of experiencing real culture, hospitality of local Maldivians and make friends of a new kind at budget prices!

The atoll also has an important place in the history of Maldives. Mohamed Thakurufaan, the Maldivian national hero who helped to end Portuguese rule over Maldives is from the island of Utheem in Thiladhunmathi Atoll. His simple palace is the epitome of Maldivian local craft which will transport you to another era… specifically 400 years back. The palace and the beauty of island are revered by many foreigners and locals alike for its significance in Maldivian history.   You can visit the island of Utheem during your stay and enjoy local history and folk tales from the very people that created it.
