The Vaavu atoll lies between the latitude 3° 41' N and 3° 13' N. Shaped like a boot, the administration of Vaavu atoll encompasses 2 geographic atolls - the main Vaavu atoll and the Vattaru Atoll. The longest reef in Maldives - an unbroken reef 55 kms long, stretches through the length of the boot - from the toe to the heel. The toe of the boot is synonymous with the easternmost point of the archipelago of Maldives. The toe is represented by the Fotteyo Muli.
An atoll, less developed than the others, is a hot favourite as a travel destination. The eastern side of the atoll is frequented by divers for the exquisite experiences it offers in terms of diving and snorkeling including a number of thrilling shark dives. The atoll has 17 islands, out of which 2 have been developed as resorts. The resorts are accessible by speedboats. The population is less than 2000, with a population of 600 in the capital, Felidhoo itself. Vattaru The Vattaru atoll is 9 kms in diameter. The Vattaru atoll consists of only one island and that too is uninhabited |
