About Kamadhoo

Kamadhoo is a small, quiet island of about 550 people in the north of Baa Atoll, roughly 129 km from Malé, reached by a 20-minute flight to Dharavandhoo and a boat across the atoll. It has a handful of guesthouses — around four — a designated bikini beach and a healthy house reef, and its distance from the main tourist routes keeps the beach empty most days. Boats run from here to the biosphere reserve's manta sites and to the sandbanks and uninhabited islands that dot northern Baa.

Beaches & photo spots on Kamadhoo

The designated tourist beach — white sand and shallow lagoon, usually deserted; afternoon and sunset light.

House reef

Shore-entry reef with turtles and reef fish — snorkel and split-level frames in morning calm.
