About Felidhoo
Felidhoo is the administrative capital of Vaavu (Felidhe) Atoll, yet it is a village of barely 620 people on an island of 0.14 km², roughly 78 km south of Malé. It sits on the atoll's eastern rim close to the channels that make Vaavu famous for diving — strong currents, nurse sharks and the renowned Fotteyo Kandu — and a handful of guesthouses use it as a base for those waters and for the sandbanks inside the lagoon. The island itself is calm, with a designated bikini beach and a working harbour.
