Your photoshoot
on Ungoofaaru
Professional photography on Ungoofaaru, Raa Atoll: honeymoon and couples sessions, proposals, families and drone aerials, photographed by locals who know the island's best light.
About Ungoofaaru
Ungoofaaru is the capital of Raa Atoll, a reclaimed and orderly island of about 1,750 people some 173 km north of Malé, home to the atoll's regional hospital and government offices. It is a service town more than a resort-style beach island, with a large harbour, wide streets and a planned feel. For photographers its interest is the working atoll around it: Raa's fishing fleets, the reef channels and sandbanks within a short boat ride, and the agricultural islands nearby.
