Dhangethi is an island of the Alif Dhaal (aka Southern Ari) Atoll  90 kilometers from Male. It is about 350 meters wide and 925 meters long. It’s the atoll capital and home to some 1,000 inhabitants.

​

This beautiful, green island is on both sides embraced by snow-white beaches and blue waters of the Indian ocean. It’s famed not only for its wild, untouched nature and exotic tropical growths but also diverse underwater fauna and, in the human realm, for its ancient fishing and shipbuilding traditions. 

The island offers awesome sandy beaches, coral reefs with fish and flora in flying colors, and much more. The islanders know this so they offer guests many chances to get to know the depths of the water. Go fishing on a traditional dhoni boat; engage in watersports - like diving and snorkeling; meet famed underwater creatures like sea turtles, dolphins, whale sharks and many others.
